Kozmo Gastro Pub

Food was great! They have live music Thursday-​Saturday. Definitely worth trying on the weekends if you don’t want to go far for a great time with friends or that special someone. Excellent customer service and nice ambiance. Traditional restaurant in the front and bar atmosphere on the other side. :-)

I have been here many times and this place never disappoints! Great service and consistent quality food. On this visit we were lucky enough to get the bartender, Mike, as our server. We was awesome! We had the white cheddar balls for an app. We loved the flavors, cheese, honey, walnuts, black pepper, and arugula. YUM!!! We split the burger and my favorite spices walnut salad. If we go back, we will be sitting at the bar with Mike.

I came here twice: a Friday evening and late on a Saturday night
I like just about everything about this place. The burger is AMAZING – I had it both times. I’m glad I went twice because there seems to be two different atmospheres under one roof.
Friday night (it was around 7ish)
A very… mainstream… crowd. Families and friends everywhere. All age groups.
One complaint – I arrived 40 minutes AFTER the rest of my group. They had already ordered 10 minutes before I arrived. But somehow I got my food before all 6 of them. They still had to wait another 10 – 15 minutes.
Saturday night (11ish)
The restaurant side was completely empty. We went to the lounge side. Urban demographic, age 40s and 50s. Very laid back and chill. Live band was great. 90s R&B. The band’s volume was not too loud, so it’s easy to hold a conversation with your friends.

Fairly disappointed here. I came here because this. Restaurant was extremely hyped for being a new hipster style American cuisine restaurant. I ordered the steak and fries and started with the cheese fondue. Fondue was pretty plain. Bread was not hot. The steak was almost inedible. Tasted like someone poured a whole container of salt on it. The 2 stars are for the service that was very good and the ambience overall was good.

This was my first time here. I’ve wanted to try it for a while after seeing an ad for it but kept forgetting about it until my friend found a Groupon tonight so we tried it and I’m so glad we did. The food was excellent!!! We started off with the Salmon dip which was very tasty and perfectly portion as a light appetizer for two. We each ordered the Kozmo Cheese Burgers and split a side of fries and the Mac & Cheese. The burgers were cooked perfectly and they were juicy and delicious! The hand cut fries were like those at Five Guys which are some of my favorites and the Mac & Cheese was creamy and delicious as well. We ended with the Vanilla Lava Puffs with Caramel & Chocolate Sauce which was a perfect ending to a great meal. I’m sorry I waited so long to try this place but I’ll definitely be coming back!

From the very beginning, Kozmo has been a gem to have in our community. I’ve been here dozens and dozens of times, and have even picked up some to go food a few times and it’s never a fail. Always delicious, always greeted by friendly staff. Definitely a must try if you haven’t already been.

My family and friends and I went to Kozmos on Mother’s Day and I actually hadn’t been in a while and was pleasantly surprised by the redesign (the new lounge is really elegant and sexy), but I must say that the food is even better than before. I had the fried chicken which is a signature dish there and I see why! We also share a lot of appetizers and one dish was even better than the next. As important, the service was also on point, especially considering the fact that we were a fairly large party. Our server was funny and attentive, and of course the owners Mr. and Mrs. Morgan are always top notch hosts. Keep up the good work!

I love this place. Great service, good food, & strong drinks!

Everything was awesome from start to finish! We started with the cheese fondue served with fresh bread and apples. It was terrific… not too heavy or filling. We ordered several different entrees and shared — hangar steak, Mac and cheese, and salmon. All were exceptional and full of flavor. We finished with a selection of desserts — cookies and cream, vanilla lava puffs and the apple turnover. These were also terrific. The owners and staff were attentive and made our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and plan to go again soon!

Always a favorite
Recommend the scallops or the salmon and the Mac n cheese and ask for Leanne if you can she makes the evening fun and has great suggestions

Wow – this place has taken a major slide in recent months! My husband and I used to come here often, but it’s been a while and I can really see a marked difference – what a shame! You used to have a hard time getting a drink at the bar on a weekend because there were so many people. Not anymore; I think the upscale John’s Creek & Alpharetta crowds have made their way over to Avalon, leaving Kozmo in their dust… and I can see why:
We had a 7pm reservation this past Saturday night and despite there being a couple open tables, the host (?) couldn’t figure out where to seat us. He tried to put us in the new room off to the left, but there weren’t any 2 tops available, and he was trying to seat us at the bar… um, no. Why would I make a reservation if I wanted to sit at the bar?
Finally we were seated in the main dining room and it took 13 minutes for a server to greet us. We sat there without so much as a glass of water for 13 friggin’ minutes. I wish we had left at that point, but we’re gluttons for punishment, I guess. When our server arrived she looked a bit shell shocked and seemed to be in over her head. We ordered everything (a beer for DH, an app and our entrees) then, as we’d had plenty of time to make a decision.
From this point, it took (I s**t you not) 15 minutes for DH’s beer to arrive. We had to ask for it twice and the second time the server offered the weak excuse «She [the bartender] is busy and I can’t go back there and get it or I would». Meanwhile, I was facing the bar where there were FOUR patrons. It’s possible all the other tables ordered drinks at the exact same time, but doubtful. So, now we’re 30 minutes into this nightmare.
It took another 25 minutes from when we ordered to receive our app: poutine. We asked the server what was up and she said «Oh, poutine takes longer»…uhhh…really? 25 MINUTES LONG? It’s fries + cheese and gravy thrown under the salamander for a minute. 25 minutes is more like an entrée check time than an app. Again, no apology, she just looked like a scared bunny and went away. The poutine was fine, but I don’t know if that’s just because I was freaking starving by the time it got to the table or what.
Our entrees came at 8pm, a full hour after our reservation. DH had the burger, which was solid, but nothing amazing. I had the roast chicken, which used to be so much better. It was fine, but pretty devoid of any real flavor. I make much better roast chickens at home.
I don’t know if this was just an off night, but it seems like things have really changed for the worse at Kozmo. I know for sure that we weren’t the only table having issues, as I saw many angry patrons complaining.
Also of note: the valet situation is a total s**tshow. They have 1 guy out there doing it by himself and it took us 10 minutes to get him to bring our car after our terrible meal, when we really just wanted to get the hell out of there. Although, it was pretty entertaining to watch him yell at every car coming in trying to park themselves in order to go to the yogurt shop or tattoo parlor.

I must’ve gone at a weird time cause literally no one else was in there but I loved it! Service was great, the décor and ambiance and music were all awesome too. We had the catfish fritters for the appetizer and oh my gosh, the breading they use is divine. I was licking my fingers and we are them all and it was a big portion! I had the burger cause I was craving one, and that is a damn good burger. Seasoning was on point for the burger as well and the fries were great too. Bf had the Mac and cheese with his burger and it was awesome too! Will be coming back for the fried chicken night!

OK… It’s official. I love this place! Finally someone who gets it. Only put items on the menu that you can excel at. The menu is perfect. I had the Kozmo burger and it was excellent. Great portion, cooked to perfection. My party also had the Salmon. Moist and tender, melted in your mouth. Good portions and attentive wait staff. Honestly there is nothing to not like here. Always see the owners engaged and pleasant. Did I say I love this place!

Food a bit pricey for what you get… but what you get is good.
Perks
Scallops and Shrimp tempura
Fried Chicken on Tuesdays
Steak over fries
Misses
Burger (wrong bun… wrong bun… cheap bread)
Drinks (Bartender is horrible… just order a soda on side or wine)

Really good fish tacos and cheeseburger. Their Kozmo salad was good as well a the cauliflower side
However, the white bean hummus is not only wateru but also lacking in flavor. Was served with sticks of cucumber and carrots. Would have been better with something like fresh peppers and with more seasonings.
Excellent service and good atmosphere.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO ACTUALLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
It has been a really long time since my husband and I stopped in here for lunch but one of the most striking aspects of this pub is it’s décor. It is so modern and cool, just beautiful! I loved the openness of the place. So, my husband and I decide to stop in for lunch since this is right in the neighborhood. I look over the menu and eventually decide not to order because nothing really caught my interest. Now in all fairness, I do this a lot so it is really no big deal. I have gone to countless restaurants and only ordered a glass of water because I was disinterested in the menu. My family is very accustomed to this and it does not prevent them from ordering.
Lunch is naturally challenging for me because I don’t eat traditional sandwiches or salads outside of my own kitchen.
Moving on: My husband, (who is way more open than I am when it comes to dining out), decides to order a burger and mac and cheese.
The burger was actually the smallest burger I have ever seen served in a restaurant and I have seen plenty because it is my husband’s favorite item to order. I’m accustomed to huge burgers, layered with ingredients and difficult to finish.
This burger was more of a slider and I was actually embarrassed for Kozmo not knowing the difference. The mac and cheese was not exactly to his liking either, so this trip was just a miss. I tasted the food and I do recall that it was grossly overpriced for what was delivered. We’ve never returned.
The price of the food is a recurring theme and not in a good way. I think that this is a place you visit after you have eaten dinner and when you want a good strong drink, (liquor, not wine or beer) and a good time. Otherwise, what’s the point?

This was an unusual spot in Alpharetta. We came here bc it was Halloween and we wanted to go somewhere out of our neighborhood and decided to come here based on the reviews.
So we got there no wait sat right down and ordered their calamari. Which was very very excellent. And that was about it. We got there around 6:45 and did not leave until 9 pm. THAT is right 9 pm. Just for me and my husband. The server was OUTSTANDING but he was the only server… He had all of the tables. And there were people dropping off the food and picking up the plates but one server. The food was okay! I got the grilled shrimp ceaser and my hubby the salmon BLT. Little above average, prices are fine for what we ordered. The pineapple dessert thing was literally the WORST thing I have ever eaten. DO NOT order that. Place was just OK

Wow! I can’t remember the last time I had fried chicken this good. Just like mama used to make… lol
I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Kosmo. It just felt very clean and I like the casual way the staff goes about their business. So, we shared the fried chicken and the burger. This was a real cheeseburger. Great flavor and the side salad came with a lemony thyme vinaigrette (finally…a different dressing). Their craft beer list looks good. I didn’t drink but from the looks of the cocktail/​wine list, my next trip to Kosmo will be in the evening. Give this little gem a try. We really enjoyed it’

I truly don’t understand the 4 star rating for this place. It is neither a Pub nor a Gastro experience. The atmosphere is actually nice, a little on the loud side but tolerable.
I ordered the $ 14 burger and expected something quite amazing for this price — far from it… while the burger looks impressive, it was a completely tasteless patty… good thing I ordered it with bacon and mushrooms topping. The fries were not very tasty and kind stale (not sure how you can achieve that…).
One more thing to note is that the waiters have no uniforms or any kind of identification. We have been served by 4 different waiters and every time someone new approaches our table we had to wonder who he is… I understand the idea of being casual but at least keep the same waiter on a table.
I don’t see any need to ever come back… And here’s a tip: season your burgers…

Came here for their burger and was underwhelmed. Although the ambience was nice and my side of Mac and cheese was great, my burger was a disappointment. It fell apart as I ate it, and it needed a sauce or something. It was kinda dry and boring.
This is my second time here and I probably won’t be back. Prices were a little high too.
