Cross Creek Cafe

I love this place because it’s about 15 steps from my townhouse. The food is actually good –great burgers and fried green tomatoes!
I wish they could find something other than plastic chairs on patio Bc it is a really cool patio overlooking golf course and lake. Also, there are these weird black/​wht pictures when you walk in and they would be well served to put a little sundries store (think airport kiosk) in that nook. They could make a small fortune.
I feel like I have to explain that it’s 70’s clubhouse when I take people there and it doesn’t have to be that way. The did some upgrades but they don’t flow. The owner really needs to let the people do their job and she be the owner and stay out of the serving. It’s not good at all.
Overall, it’s convenient and good but it could be a really, really cool neighborhood restaurant and bar (think Treehouse) Bc it’s in prime location with captive audience/​neighborhoods surrounding.

This place is amazing. The staff is friendly for the most part (don’t eat at the bar) and very helpful. Food is homemade and always hot. It’s a little expensive but totally worth it. They have an amazing brunch on the weekends and it gets packed.
I usually get the chicken tenders and they are the best in town.
Everyday they have a special meal that’s not on the menu, got it once (Fish and Chips) and was not disappointed.

It’s tucked away in a small corner in West Buckhead, but it’s a hidden gem. There’s never a meal that isn’t delicious and doesn’t feel home cooked. You need to check this out.

I visited this café for the first time last week, and I was impressed with the quality of the food, as well as the speed of service during lunch. The restaurant was about half full when I arrived but it was also in the middle of the week. When I ordered chicken tenders and French fries, I expected frozen chicken tenders from a bag. However, the tenders were all white meat and they appeared to be hand battered and fried so they tasted much better than I anticipated. The view is nice, and I gave this review 4 out of 5 stars only because the café seems a little dated and needs to be updated inside and out. Other than that, it’s a nice place to go without having to fight traffic in Buckhead.

Came here with a large party (12 souls) for lunch and although the rest of the place was close to empty, the food seemed a little slow getting out to us. That’s the only negative. The food was superb! Meat and three kind of cooking, I had meatloaf with (real) mashed potatoes, fried okra, squash casserole, collards and cornbread. Not as good as the for-​now-​burned-​out OK Café, but pretty darn good. Hearty portions.
We were indoors on account of the heat, but with the right weather the deck would have been a treat. Being set back from the road also makes it special.
Very southern, a slower pace, so bear that in mind and savor the flavor.

I am giving it three stars because of the, «Um…what?» factor. This bar is Kitsch all the way, complete with one-​man band. I had a perfectly edible turkey burger and a very nice, stiff cocktail. The cocktails (if you order Call liquor) are actually a little closer to «city» prices, so you could probably just stick with beer to really embrace the scene.

Great burger and rings..

We live at Cross Creek and every once in awhile we’ll need a burger fix and head on down. The café is, as mentioned many times, out-​dated. The décor is straight up 70s. I have only had burgers and drinks so my opinion is limited. The burgers are fantastic, cooked properly to order and with all the fixings. The onion rings are fantastic… I could just eat a plate of those and be happy. Now the drinks… good gracious they are enough to take down a water buffalo! The bartender (always have had the same one) pours a very stiff cocktail but not so much so that they are unenjoyable. This is convenient if you live there and can walk up the hill to get home, probably dangerous if you have to drive (especially with the police officer that sits at the end of Bohler waiting for people to blow the stop sign).

Cross Creek is a hidden treasure: laid back, comfortable and dependable. We don’t live there, but we’ve been going for 15 years, sitting on the deck, enjoying a great burger and a stiff cocktail, and watching the sun go down.
The staff is friendly and a recent face-​lift has brightened the space. This isn’t a fine dining destination, but it’s a fine thing to have in the city; more like dining at a friend’s house with geese and a golf course in the yard.

Great food. The monthly lobster dinner is the best part of living CrossCreek. I live at Cross Creek so I can just walk over.

I grew up about a mile from Cross Creek and remember going to a teacher/coach’s condo there for a cross-​country gathering one year. Since we were 16 at the time, we didn’t sample any of the «club house» festivities that I got to sample yesterday!
D’s best friend’s dad got (re-​) married at Cross Creek Café and we were invited to their very simple, casual and fun affair. The wedding was at three o’clock, so I thought I dressed accordingly (he told me «casual,» without much other detail) and was a little surprised when he showed up in jeans and a nice dress shirt. This is a note for boys: be more specific with your dates about things like this — ie, if the best man tells you it’s casual enough to wear jeans, tell HER that and she’ll dress comparably. With a small flutter of «oh crap, now what to wear» angst, I threw on a simple black dress (it brought me luck meeting his parents, so…) and off we went.
As others have noted, this place is casual, even a bit dated. It’s been around forever. The wedding/​reception was in the two far rooms past the dining room and all the staff was very nice and accommodating. Plenty of tables set up for the 50 or so guests, and a substantial open bar service. The food spread was your basic «country club» kind of food — little sandwiches, chicken fingers, veggies and dip, and the like.
One highlight of the evening was the elderly «Regular» in a snappy red jacket who kept helping himself to the eats. He just wandered in nonchalantly every so often to grab a plate, and kinda just melded in with the group.
Not a place I imagine I’ll be back any time soon, but a pleasant one if you’re ever invited to something there.

Cross Creek is an odd little spot, located in a complex including condos and small golf course dating back to around 1970. It has a homey, cozy feel with a really nice view of the golf course and pond from the patio. The considerable variety of food has never really impressed me or my family, but my mother always wants to eat there because of location, plus her second choice is Picadilly, which I avoid at all cost. Definitely a neighborhood joint with an older clientele, Cross Creek neither impresses nor disappoints. It’s sustained by local regulars, and staffed by nice people. However, the only thing that keeps me going back is Mom’s devotion to old habits.

Are you ever looking for a casual place, where you can bring the whole family, relax, look out into the golf course on a hot summer night? This café is definitely that, a little bit of an older crowd, but that doesn’t stop me from coming. Their Burger, Chicken Fingers are pretty standard, the Hot Dog is huge. You can also swing by the bar here and take a roadie, over to the pool next door, which you can join at a minimal price. Cross Creek Café could totally use an update, but the staff is nice, the food is good for an average night.

Cross Creek Café is located inside a Buckhead community off of I-​75 and Moores Mill Rd. Overlooking the golf course, this café offers a delightful dining experience accompanied by a view of the rolling greens.
«The Cross Creek Café provides casual dining for lunch, dinner, and Sunday Brunch, as well as professional planning for special events.»
The menu, posted on line, offers a wide variety of foods, although the management has never heard of vegetarians. Go on Sunday for the brunch and enjoy the Eggs Benedict. At lunch, try the Reuben!
Most of the staff have been working at the café for years and know most of the dining patrons by name. They may even provide a little bread from the kitchen for kids to take out to the golf course and feed the numerous geese and ducks who frequent the large pond.
For a little late night action, step into the bar which is housed in the corner with its own entrance. Loud and often crowded, this place definitely fits the bill as a local «watering hole». You will never be short of happenings in this place.
Whether enjoying a Sunday brunch with the family or dining out with a special someone, the Cross Creek Café is a delightful place and well worth a try for someone new to the area.
