Dudley's Restaurant — Restaurant in Stonecrest

Service is nonexistent. I walked in around noon while they’re only maybe seven people sitting at the bar and one of the owners was doing a job interview in the corner. When I walked in the bartender/waitress was not in the front, however somebody went to the back to tell her there were people that needed her and while standing there waiting for her to come out, I overheard some of the regulars even saying that’s the worst service they ever had one was saying you wanted his food another was saying he wanted another drink another was saying he wanted his check so he can leave. Finally, she emerges from the back and starts to make one drink, then starts to clean up the bar and when she finally gets close enough to me after having made eye contact and not even caring if I needed anything or not, I finally just say “hey can I please get a menu” she tells me one minute and proceeds to keep cleaning off the bar, opened up a beer, started grabbing dirty glasses and putting them away. All I needed at that point was a menu that I could at least review to see what I wanted to order I was not being impatient about being able to place my order, but I can’t imagine how much time it would’ve taken her just to reach down and pass me the menu.

Today’s visit was very unfortunate because I have been going to this place since the early 2000s I used to drop in for shooting pool, eating food, hanging out and partying and today was the last day I will step foot in there again.

How are you so overwhelmed and inattentive and unfriendly at 12 o’clock in the afternoon which I can imagine you’ve only probably been open for an hour if that it’s also lunchtime so I can imagine you assume some people are dropping in on their lunch break to grab food why would they need to stand in the front for 20 minutes and then get absolutely no communication and no service.

I also made the choice to stop here instead of going to a competitor across the street. I used to frequent both places a lot when I was younger and when I lived in the area, I now live in Cobb County so I only come over to the side of town every now and then but this definitely was not what I was expecting as far as service because in the past, I’ve had great service even when other people complained their service was not that great.

I ended up just walking out without waiting without getting any food without any apology without anything. I’m extremely patient and laid-back so for me to write this review while actually on the way to find some place to get some food shows that I’m really aggravated and more so because I stood there for 20 minutes wasting my time to end up without a product...

Visited Dudley's on Saturday evening around 6:30pm. Medium to light crowd, which steadily increased as time went by. Server was pleasant and attentive, also knowledgeable of menu items, and drink prices which do not show on the drink menu. Drinks were tasty, however a tequila sunrise which is normally served in a tall glass, was served in a tiny glass, what a straight alcohol on the rocks would be placed in. This was not a happy hour special, so it was definitely baffling. The wait for our food order was extremely long, especially considering others who arrived after had already been served. Once it arrived it was very good. Had a 10 piece order of wings, and a sampler platter which consisted of fried mushrooms, cheese sticks, onion rings, 2 chicken tenders, and French fries. The orders were shared between 2, and it works out well since the wings do not come with fries. The tricky part is the bill, which references 2 amounts with the lower amount printed very small. The bold amount is for those paying by card, and the itty-bitty almost illegible amount is for cash customers. They also add on 4 different taxes, and charged a dollar more for the wings than the menu price. The total cash bill was $52.18. Gave the waitress $61.00 to give a $9.00 tip. She brought back $5.00 as change, as we looked at her strange we told her no, that's yours. She frowned and walked away. It seems she didn't do the math and gave the establishment the credit card amount although we paid cash. Other than the padded fees, and small drinks, the food was good, and it seemed to be a laid back neighborhood spot where people knew each other. It does tend to get a little loud, once it fills up. Undecided if I will...

This is the place to go if "you want your car broken into"!!

We had a large party for the football games. The servers did a great job accommodating us but did get some of our orders wrong. However, they were friendly and responsive.

The DJ was good and the atmosphere inside overall was fun.

However, it QUICKLY went downhill when friends walked one out and found out their car window was broken out...legal carry gun stolen out car. We found out and filed out to check our cars, another found their window broken...gun stolen. At this time, the commotion caused the whole bar to clear out to check their cars...another group of women had their window broken...gun stolen. See a pattern?

All this happened while "Security" and a separate, actual plain clothes "Security??" policeman was standing outside!!!

Waited at least 2 hours, police never showed, however, the "real policeman" working the door said another policeman was on the way and would take report. Police car "Finally" pulls in parking lot and passes all of us waving them down heads to the front door, apparently late for their "security" shift, and tells us "That has nothing to do with them".

Asked security were the break in's common and he says no, but found out there were break in's there the week before!!!

Absolutely the WORST place to go unless you want to gamble with the "Security" on premises, that actually seem to be willing to do anything to get you in the door but nothing to actually help with "Security".

Oh...and two of us got Covid after visiting this wonderful establishment.

Gamble at your own risk. Not taking that...
