Breakfast with the Grinch was fun for the entire family. The buffet was plentiful, nice options, consistently being refilled and cleaned by staff. Waitress was friendly and attentive. My kids truly enjoyed their time which was the goal.

My family and I were looking for a place with great food and service - Restaurant 10 fulfilled that! After a long day filled with a football activities, we met Alvin who provided us with exceptional service. His personality and recommendations truly helped us enjoyed our time together and a great dinner. We really enjoyed the turkey tips, turkey wings, chicken wings, baked beans, Mac-n-cheese, yams, mashed potatoes and greens! The mixed drinks were okay; standard but really should have more alcohol in them for the price. We eat out often and Alvin’s his work ethic is refreshing; in our opinion, he’s in the top 1% of professionals we’ve encountered in today’s “gratuity-focused” hospitality industry. Next time we’re in Atlanta, we’d come back just to experience the excellent service and hospitality by Alvin. Thank you Restaurant 10 for accommodating us!

Excellent experience overall. Brandon (apologize for spelling if different) was great. He gave us a solid recommendation on the Chicken Biscuit. It was delicious and I highly recommend it! Food portions were good, and price was fair. Will definitely be back!
