Sunset Grille Lakeside Restaurant - Lake Allatoona — Restaurant in Georgia

Cool lakeside dining right here. The visit started off shaky as the server completely ingnored me as if ai was invisible while standing next to a dirty table. She greeted the people next to me then looked me walked past me and greeted the peope at the next table. She did not speak until my friend who invited us there sat down at the table. I spoke with a manager who was befuddled. Someone named Mitch greeted us later. After voicing my concerns to Mitch, who was super nice by the way, apologized and took care of our first round of drinks to make up for the earlier treatment. We were set up with a new server named Morgan who was awesome! If not for Mitch and Morgan I would have given one star. No for the food and drinks. The Skinny margarita was good. The passion fruit Margarita was good but the processed mix is a no go. I swapped that out for cold beer. I had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was good and crunchy, but just rather small for the bun. Almost like a chicken finger on a whole brioche bun. I would have liked to see more of the Nashville Hot Sauce involved as well. My lady had the fish and chips. Although it was cooked just right, it just had no flavor so she cancelled it. My buddy devoured the Harbour burger. I will have the Harbour burger next time. All in all, it has a nice atmosphere and the lakeside dining outdoor is a really nice touch. We opted to eat inside because my friend said it was too hot outside.(wimp) We will be back to dine outside with the great lake view. Thank you Mitch and Morgan for saving the day! Give Sunset Grille a go and let me know...

Enjoy waterfront views while sampling local cuisines.

It all starts with Manager, Alfred. He has trained staffers to provide good service & every time we dine at Allatoona’s Sunset Grille, our expectations have been exceeded! If you’ve lost faith in our younger generation as far as work ethic, commitment to service, and over-the-top friendliness—you’ll be impressed by the way all these guys hustle at work in order to satisfy your dining experience—a must do—check this place out!!! We don’t usually pass by many other restaurants to patronize a lake setting restaurant—but this place has become our summer go-to stop for dining & outdoor entertainment. The bartenders @ Sunset Grille serve up yummiest cocktails, and the live music creates just the right amount of R & R. Sunset Grille’s off-the-beaten-path restaurant is a great thing that gives people access to the water without needing a boat or a waterfront cottage. The locals probably like keeping this quaint spot a secret—enjoying a setting that provides a lakeside sunset glow like none other.

Christian, the food manager, is highly visible asking patrons about the quality of his food preparations. Kaitlyn, Matt, and Ash are a few of our favorite servers—warm & friendly, honest about their opinions and...

$3 processing fee vs $170 in lost revenue. What are they putting in the drinks over there?

My wife and I made the trek by boat to Sunset Grille. Upon entering the patio we noticed the sign stating they wouldn't accept Amex.

Coming via boat neither of us brought our typical wallet/purse which contained our Visa card. I asked the hostess if we could pay via Apple Pay/Tap (Visa), or Venmo. She smirked and said "no" clearly having been through this same process a bunch of times.

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems so short sided to turn people away because they don't have the preferred method of payment for the restaurant.

Personally I would accept all forms of payment as a convenience for getting customers in my door. At worst I would charge a processing fee or make up the difference elsewhere but even that feels short sided.

Wonder if the server who didn't get our table should charge a processing fee to the owner for the lost tip ($34) they would have received from us. We went to Allatoona Grill after. Had a great meal and a few drinks. They were happy to accept our business,...
