Cooks & Soldiers brings the cuisine and cultural experience of Spain’s Basque region to the flourishing West Midtown area. The menu is divided into “pintxos tradicionales,” or tapas-like snacks served atop toasted bread; “pinxtos especiales,” or Basque-inspired small plates; “asador” including a variety of wood-grilled fish, meats and vegetables; and a selection of unique and modern desserts. Behind the bar, Cooks & Soldiers offers guests an extensive collection of Basque and Spanish wines, txakoli and ciders, in addition to craft beer and signature cocktails. The cocktail list places a heavy emphasis on gin, offering a seasonal selection of house-infused tonics blended into gin tonics and other popular libations.

It's been years since we have eaten at Cooks and Soldiers but it was every bit as good as we remembered. Everything we ordered was outstanding and the cocktails were superb! We had the shrimp, sunchokes, mountain bread (what a treat!), the ribeye and broccoli. Great experience all around!

Mountain bread was out of this world! We enjoyed every plate we had including haricots verts, croquettas, patatas bravas, and pan de setas. Also enjoyed the Basque cheesecake and chocolate tart with passionfruit gel. Lots of creative spins on tapas dishes that we really enjoyed. Service was so kind and helpful too!

My party of 3 had an incredible date night. As always, Jo provided phenomenal service, and the food was equally stellar. All of our favorite people (Deja’ - the GM; Josh - another manager; William - a former manager; and even Chef John surprised us - who knew he had legs 😂😅) were able to make an appearance at our table, which made our dining experience even more dynamic and unforgettable. Of course, we’ll return soon and continue to sing the praises of this fine establishment. In the meantime, prospective diner: Do yourself a favor and dine here. In case you didn’t know, it’s good practice to begin the new year by making smart decisions. Make the smart choice; getaway to Cooks and Soldiers!!! Thank me later! 😉😅

We love the food but service was way off tonight- I wish our server would have guided us through the menu we ordered way to much food. Our drinks took forever and our dishes came out in a very random order. And then there were still two dishes we didn't get that we're on the check (which she removed) Out server was lovely and kind- maybe there was a staffing issue but feels like something should have been comped or an explanation for what was happening.

First time here and the food was delicious, yet the service made it hard to swallow. The server was quite obnoxious and rude. One example is I asked if we could get everything served at the same time because the appetizers were going to be our sides, he said they come out as they are prepared in a snappy tone as he walked away. This was the tone the entire night. The server nor anyone came over and asked was everything okay, and the food came out one at a time and not together. Even though the food was delicious I will not be going back. Too many great restaurants in Atlanta where I can get great food and service.

Not impressed with the food - had feuillete- was too sweet and we could tell that it had jamon in it , had mountain bread - the bead was perfectly baked and with a crunchy top with zatar, grilled oyster - nothing to talk about, duck- it was perfect , stuffed blue crab -has too much of spice and was overpowering and there was no taste of the crab itself
