Crabapple Tavern

Friendly staff, I stopped in for dinner coming into to town to visit a friend. As I was alone and the ladies behind the bar had a nice conversation with me through out my time there. The food was pretty good, but I ordered something I usually wouldn’t and the beer was great!

Yummy! Great place to eat and enjoy

We love crabapple tavern. They have awesome specials. Speaking of specials my husband had the best steak. Recommend everyone try
Now let’s talk service. Outstanding and a big shout out to my favorite waiter, Adam. He makes every visit special.

Just your typical neighborhood bar, the décor was really cute, warm, and rustic. The service was really fast and good… the food was ehh just bar food… I think this is more of a place for locals to drink however we didn’t order alcohol, maybe next time

Came here on a Saturday night. It took seven minutes (yes, I was looking at the clock) for the hostess to come to the front of the restaurant. In the time, the line was growing and customers were asking customers what was going on.
Hostess asked how many in a party (2) and disappeared for another 4 minutes. She returned and was going to give us the table, but realized there was another couple who had been waiting longer. Once they were seated, she returned she said the wait was 10 – 15 minutes. Hostess was telling everyone behind us the same wait time. Since we had already waited 11 minutes before being told it would be another 15 minute (minimum), we decided to leave and go elsewhere.
Management needs to work on customer service.

LOVE the specials! I have been a few times when traveling to see family. My dad kept telling me about this place and how we didn’t have to go downtown to find unique food anymore. I had the black grouper plate last night and it was fresh and seared to perfection. The sides were butternut squash croquettes and pickled Bok choy which went perfectly with the moist grouper and the sweet squash. Whoever the chef is, is truly inspired and put together a beautiful dish. The hostess and wait staff were super friendly and attentive and made me feel welcome. At the end of the meal two members of the staff thanked me for coming in which lets me know that they appreciate my business. I am excited to have this restaurant so close to family in the suburbs and relieved that we don’t have to go downtown for a unique meal. GREAT local gem in Alpharetta!

LOVE the food! Chicken Paillard and Seared Tuna Salad are always deeelicious, the chef is awesome!
WHAT DON’T WE LOVE? The place feels so dark and dingy… not in a warm inviting way, but in a very depressing way!!! I think it’s the lighting? Wrong bulbs? Table clothes? It just feels out dated and dark and dingy!

Have been several times and the food /​service are always just so-​so. It is also teaming with kids and families if you’re there before 8:30. It wants to be a bar /​restaurant but ends up being a post-​little league game hang out for dozens of kids and parents. Pass.

We recently moved to the area and this place definitely stood out to us. The service and people there are so friendly. From the staff to the other customers… this place gives you that nice neighborhood feel. The food was okay (had the fried pickles, buffalo chicken sandwich and burger), but the people are what would make us go back.

Wife and I decide to go here for a date night while we were in town visiting family. The was no wait on a Friday night, but also 3^rd of July so many people may have been out watching firework displays. The restaurant and menu reminded me of a pub in England and Ireland, not an extensive menu, but something for everyone. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife got the chicken pot pie. Our food arrived surprisingly quick and we were glad we hadn’t ordered an appetizer or else we would have had everything at one time. The fish and chips were EXCELLENT! I will have to say the closest to authentic that I have had in the U.S. I would definitely come back again.

Close to our new home in Roswell, we have quickly become regulars at this gem. The menu is full of mouthwatering selections. I recommend the calamari, it’s the bomb. Not greasy, crunchy crust and generous portion for $ 9. No tentacles either, just ringlets.
For entrees my wife had the ahi tuna salad and I went with the shrimp and grits. Both were fantastic with plenty for take-​home leftovers. The shrimp and grits contained ample shrimp and andouille sausage slices over creamy cheese grits. The flavors of each ingredient did not over-​ride the others. It was spicy but in a gentle way. We ate on the patio and had excellent service but the flying insects of the season made us wish we were inside. On previous visits I’ve had the hamburger and the fish and chips — both were outstanding. Give this place a try if you’re in the Crabapple area.

It is a nice spot if you live in the neighborhood. We have been there a couple of times. Food and service are ok. Nothing to Unilocal about and nothing to complain about either. Fish and chips are ok, and so is their burger and taco… a bit on the bland side though.

Dear Crabapple Tavern. On another Unilocalers suggestion we met friends of ours here while on vacation. See I was craving a good Bloody Mary & you happen to have $ 3.50 ones on Sunday’s. And they are just dandy. Not cheapy bottled mix for sure. I can’t speak for the food but I can speak for the service (very good) and the 4 bloody Mary’s (sorrynotsorry)

Great food I ordered the shrimp poor boy sandwich and the shrimp were the biggest shrimp I have ever seen on a poor boy sandwich really fresh tasting the service was great I recommend this place to anyone.

This is a great spot that me and my husband love to go on our date nights to. We have had almost everything on the regular menu, brunch menu, and cocktails list. We absolutely love the fried pickles with the dipping sauce and the barbecue chicken nachos for our starters. The candid pecan goat cheese salad is our favorite salad we have had anywhere! (Can definitely feed 2). We both have really enjoyed the Buffalo chicken sandwhich, Philly cheesesteak with fries, and french dip. All are great quality! We have also enjoyed many of their specials. My personal favorite drink they have is their Georgia peach (I think it’s called). You will see it on their cocktail list. So good!
Don’t forget about their brunch. We go on Sundays and get ½ off bloodymarys, mimosas, or screwdrivers. Bar staff is really friendly and make a great drink! They use the zingzang tomato juice which makes a killer bloody mary. Every breakfast item is very delicious!
Last but not least, the owner Rick, is the nicest man out there. Very personable. Knows his clientele. He will come out and meet and greet, but you’ll also see him helping the team create great customer service. (Which we always have great service).
I have brought friends and family here and have never been let down! Great restaurant! Definitely try it!

Love this place. The menu has something for everyone! Every time I have been in here, the staff is always SO nice and attentive. Great place for kids too!

If I lived in the neighborhood this is the kind of place which could easily become the regular spot. It’s «comfortable».
Nothing pretentious but not your typical strip mall Tavern either. Good menu options, decent specials, price is just slightly on the high side for what it is… perhaps justified by the lack of stale beer aroma and no sticky floor… and the crowd being 40’s and up.
The other afternoon they had a Hot ‘n’ Sour soup, Fried Oysters, and Corned Beef Hash as specials. Tried them all and surprisingly it was the entrée (corned beef hash which was small in its portion size, but the food was generally good. Burgers are also good. Haven’t tried much else on the menu but in will do so in time. Service was fine.

Great neighborhood gem. My wife and I sat at the bar and order their blue cheese chips and a burger. Generous portions. Burger was cooked perfectly. Good selection of beers on tap.

Super service — bartenders are great! Awesome pick for aprés golf (or late night munchies — food served until 10 weekdays, 11 weekends)! Open about 1 – 2 hours after food service, depending on the crowd. Live music on wed & sat. And the food? It’s good!

This place is in our «after work happy hour»” rotation. It’s a good neighborhood bar with a pretty nice waitstaff. My group from work goes regularly so we get to know the workers and get pretty good service. The drink prices are very reasonable. Clientele trends older, but that’s what dominates this part of town. Don’t come here expecting any wild parties.
The food is your standard pub fare. It’s not going to win any awards, but you won’t leave disappointed either. If the sandwiches, the French dip and Philly cheese steak are tasty. The entrees are worth a try to, particularly the chicken pot pie and meatloaf (when they have it).
