We love the Nook and have eaten here on and off for years. It concerns me to see so many negative reviews mentioning slow service or cold/slow arriving food. I have never experienced this at the Nook, but surely time of day may have something to do with it. We visited yesterday in the middle of a weekday afternoon and, as you might imagine, it was very quiet. Our server was exceptionally attentive, checking back numerous times while my son and I we're kind of lingering. She made sure that we felt welcome to stay but checked backed frequently in case we wanted anything. We typically have the burgers and they are pretty unique. The range of toppings/combinations is wide and interesting. The Tachos (tater tots with toppings) are amazing - if you like tater tots - which we definitely do. The house BBQ sauce is really interesting. I can't quite describe it, but my son and I both really like it. (Photos show the Chili Mac tots and the tots with pulled pork.) The outdoor patio is really nice all year round. In the winter it is covered and heated.

Went in on yesterday for our annual brunch my cousin and I. The place is nice. The parking is horrible its Piedmont prepare to walk. The waiter was probably one of the laziest, clueless waiters I ever had anywhere. I happen to speak to a server from the inside didn't get her name. She was giving food to the table beside us. Pretty lady, short, light skin beautiful hair! I asked for recommendations because I struggle with deciding and she gave a few. I had the midtown medley and peach tea adult beverage perfect. I also had ask my waiter Kelon I think heavy Caucasian guy who's barely making it. He said I don't eat here. I sleep all the time. I get up to late to eat and go to bed to late to eat. I said interesting he was no help at all. I asked for a small substitution and he said I don't think we can do that. I asked could you find out he rolled his eyes came back 15 minutes later and said yes. I think he just didn't want to ask. His customer service is a negative-10. We were spending money but I hated to with him. Anywho the honey Chipotle wings were crispy and good. My cousin had the chicken and biscuits which she stated was good but they were stingy on the gravy like they were running out or something idk. The loaded pototchos were yummy! The local lemonade was yummy! Everyone was friendly but him. Even the two young ladies coming around with free beer well one was nice. I think the other was training her and she barely would make eye contact. I'm big about giving exceptional customer service I'm over 5 different locations. I can't say that I won't be back because I would like to try other things but that lack of customer service and parking 😒 didn't get pics like I normally do I was hungry lol

So Disappointed! My brother and I finally got a chance to get to the Nook on Piedmont. Saw one of those places to eat in Atlanta shows one morning a while back. We finally got to order the Totchos. We ordered two Buffalo Totchos. Drove 20 minutes home.... and was surprisingly disappointed. Wow! That was bad! The chicken was juicy, but bland. You can see the reddish seasonings. It wasn't salt. I can say the tater tots were fried to perfection. The blue cheese crumbles, buffalo sauce, and ranch couldn't help it out on taste. Not enough chicken to call them "Chicken " totchos. We had totchos for sure. This was the first Miss we had to where we wanted to throw away $43 worth of food ($34.32 plus $8.60 tip). The ambiance was great even on a rainy day like today. That was not good. I don't mind paying for a good meal, but I hate wasting money on bad food. The online reviews had my expectation on the moon. My food brought me back down to Peachtree Street. We trashed it all. The tots were the only thing palatable out of this meal. Just our foodie experience gone wrong.

First time here, went because of the huge portions. The drunk astronaut was cute, tasted like juice to me but I drink my alcohol straight lol so don't listen to me. They do pour a full glass of vodka in the bowl, I think it's 14oz but I could be wrong. I ordered the peanut butter and bacon hot dog with onion rings. Why not it's not like you eat something like that everyday. Well overall the hot dog was good but you could tell it was rushed to be put together. Our server informed us that the kitchen was backed but that's not a reason to not present the food correctly. My bun was ripped, they used creamy peanut butter, not crunchy & the chips that were suppose to be on top where crumbs & the onion rings were under cooked. Again I'll caulk this experience up to them being busy. I'll do plan on coming back to give them another try. The prices are good and it's a nice place to go with friends. Next time I'll order just Vodka & maybe a burger.

I exercise patience regarding service at restaurants during this time because so many art short-staffed. I came to this restaurant during the Dogwood Festival at Piedmont Park. I spotted this place from the park and noticed they had ample outdoor seating - which is great during this Covid surge. It took my waiter almost ten minutes to come check on me initially and that was frustrating but, again, I’m having patience. He was very nice and recommended a delicious cocktail and meal. I had the Redneck Totcho which is tater tots smothered in melted cheese, bbq sauce, pulled pork, and a couple jalapeños on top. The cocktail I had was the Stone Cold Summer. It had lemon juice, pineapple juice, rum, and tequila and it was delicious and refreshing on this 90degree day. They had a limited menu due to the festival and having more customers than normal. I’ll have to try them again when they have their full menu.
