Brimstone Restaurant & Tavern — Restaurant in Alpharetta

There are a number of reasons I feel inclined to review this place:

It's not exactly in prime real estate for restaurants. The bar atmosphere was not immediately appealing or drew me in. The food was WAY better than expected.

First of all, it's located at a weird junction where Old Alabama Road and Mansell Road meet up. Not exactly where you'd expect to find restaurants -- at least of any decent quality. Don't let that compel you though. Make the little extra drive from North Point Parkway or wherever else you are.

It's mostly a sports bar. There is a restaurant side, but it might or might not be open based on how much business the restaurant is doing. On the night I went, it was closed on the restaurant side and just bar patrons sitting around. I almost turned around and walked off since the seating was pretty limited... and a large group was already seated who were pretty filthy and pretty loud. Actually, the filthy part doesn't bother me, but I figured it would be a turn off for some patrons. Anyway, don't let this throw you off either.

Okay, the food. I have to say, when you go to a sports bar, you're kind of expecting a short-order cook (at best) just making some marginally acceptable food to people who are too drunk to know any better. Not the case here. They have a real, bonafide chef doing the work. He even came around and made sure everyone was enjoying the meal. Split a burger and a chicken BLT wrap. Burger was really good... but the chicken BLT wasn't far behind.

Service was super friendly and accommodating. I really wish Fire and Brimstone was in my neighborhood so I could go more often. It's on my rotation now though for whenever I'm on that...

7.17.24 , 1600 hrs _ Normal Bar , Veteran Owned . They were Open at the time, but they shouldnt have been. Place smelled like Terpentine / Thinner / Laquer. Gave me a Head Ache. IDK the Source i didnt see anything Freshly Painted , Doors Windows not Opened to Air out the Place . Ordered Lemon Pepper Wings Naked and Cobb Half Salad, both good . Ordered Bacon Cheeseburger Medium Well , came out Medium Rare after sitting on my Table for 15 minutes ..... because all my Food came OUT all at the SAME TIME . I DID NOT AFTER ONE BITE ANYMORE of The Burger because I Dont Eat Ground Beef below Med Well. I spit that Bite Out into Salad Bowl. Chef needs to go back to School or HE doesnt give a Shyte and just wants to dump his orders all out so he can do what ? Because the place was 3/4 empty . Barkeeps Face when he saw the Burger was that of , Yup its wrong . He gave me half off the Burger , asked to put it back on the Grill i said No on put it Back . In Hindsight if I owned the place . I would have said Hey that Burgers obviously FUBAR, let me make you another one , FREE . If you dont want to eat it now , take it home . FIRE the Chef . Burgera are Basic Food , why did He send it out same time as Appetizers and Medium Rare at that. Rushed the Order and He Botched it. Dont Recommend Im not Returning . Im a 67Y / 67R , Ex Army and always support Vets , but that Chef cant Cook a Burger much less KNOW to send it out 20 minutes AFTER...

Came here as a group after my grandfathers funeral. Won’t be back. Took a long time to get our food. Things were missing and almost everything had something wrong. My meal was forgotten entirely so my family was half way done by the time it finally came out. When it came out, it was completely wrong. It was fried instead of grilled and the things I asked withheld due to medical issues were on it. Didn’t bother replacing it as my family was almost done and service slow. Didn’t want to hold the rest of the group up. Nobody even asked if there was a problem when clearing the table and seeing it wasn’t touched. Wanted to pay early since there were 3 young kids and wanted to be able to make a quick exit if they got impatient. Trying to get the bill was ridiculous. And we were the first people in and the only people for the first half hour. My husband told them he wasn’t done yet, even if half the party was, but they took his plate anyways because they had an event that was starting up and needed the tables. Weren’t even out the door when they rearranged the table and started sitting others. Drinks never got refilled either. Won’t be back. The one positive was their sweet potato tots. Stole a couple of my kids to tie me over until we left and I picked up some fast food on my way home since others were mostly full but I hadn’t eaten. Just a bad experience after an...
