Front Page News

Only been once but it was a great experience. Went there yesterday, I had mimosas and their French toast although it’s under the name pain perdu? Although the weird name the food was amazing. The atmosphere is laid back great place for brunch. Also they have a bloodie marry bar so you can make them to your liking. The wait was a little long but worth it. I would recommend it, and plan on going back myself.

First time coming here! Brunch was perfect. Service was perfect! We got buckets of mimosas, for a good price! $ 20! I highly recommend this place!
Shoutout to Khalil, our server. YOU KILLED IT.

Had you asked me a few years ago I would have given this place 4 stars. I used to love it but somehow they have just fallen off in recent years. The menu went from good to decent to ok to where I don’t have anything I like to order there anymore.
My favorite was the pecan chicken salad melt. It was chicken salad with pecans and cheese melted into it and served on a buttery toasted texas toast. Nothing complicated but it was so good. I used to go the Front Page at least once a week just for that sandwich. And then they decided to play around with it and they changed the bread to some kind of stiff, hard, un-​toasted, un-​buttered bread. Like dude, don’t mess with perfect! It all but ruined the sandwich but I would still order it occasionally. Then they eventually just removed it from the menu all together. And that’s where it all started for me. Soon, they started messing with other menu items. It’s just not what it used to be. Hopefully they can rebound soon.

We stopped by Front Page News in the late afternoon for some drinks and snacks. I’ve been to the Little Five Points location before, so I was excited to see how they set up the Midtown venue. I’d seen things about their fish bowl size cocktails, so I was excited to try them out.
Apps and a fish bowl? Sounds about right. It was way too cold to sit outside, which would have been awesome, but it was a ghost town outside.
The interior was pretty empty but cozy. We ordered up The Crescent City Bayou Bowl, containing a gallon of liquid, including the pint of liquor. It was pretty tasty, but for some reason, we got sick of it pretty quickly. The ice kept melting rapidly, as well, so it felt like we made zero progress among three people.
We ordered a few appetizers to share, too. We started off with the Spinach & Artichoke dip, which came with warm pita. We devoured that up no problem. Figuring we needed some more food to soak up the alcohol in our Bayou Bowl. The calamari Fritti and the pretzel bites did just that. The calamari was just calamari, but nothing special. The pretzel bites were soft and warm, and went great with the grainy mustard dip. We asked for both mustard options, which included an Asian spicy mustard. Unsure what to expect, I doused my pretzel bite in the unsuspecting mustard and omg I couldn’t breathe for a good minute. It was horseradish spicy.
Overall, Front Page News is a great place to grab a drink (or a gallon of drink) and some satisfyingly tasty snacks.

Went here after leaving another restaurant that had terrible service. Sat at the bar. Bartender was Jasmine. She was absolutely phenomenal. She was fast and professional. The food was great. I will definitely return. It’s always great to go somewhere where the staff makes you feel valuable as a customer and where the food is very tasty.

Mediocre food. The patio is nice though. It can get pretty crowded on the weekends.

Upon arrival the greeter and atmosphere was superb. I returned for the 2^nd time after the 1^st not being the best. This time the server was informative, friendly, always available and smiling. The entire experience was great. Excellent service & food-​the bartender was also good at nixing drinks.

Very friendly employees. Not fond of their small menu, but food is fresh and quick. Tried my very first biscuits and gravy. It was very good. But don’t look at Unilocal for ideas of what you’re going to order. Their Manu changes all the time. They urgently are not serving chicken and waffles.

I just let this restaurant and I’m so disappointed. Bottom line up front: Went inside, very warm hostess, nice atmosphere but experienced the WORST service ever.
Literally had the server walk past our table 3 – 5 times before even ACKNOWLEDGING us at her table. When she did finally come around she had the WORST attitude ever.
I was so hungry and the menu looked awesome– WE STILL we opted to just leave and go eat somewhere else. No self respecting person would pay for service that awful.
One star because the food smelled great and it looked like it could of been an awesome experience had it not been for the rotten server.
:(

Delicious brunch and great patio service for our large group (14 people!)

After a night of multiple shots of Jose Cuervo with my other half, our bodies needed food! We initially went to a breakfast spot in Birmingham (will discuss that on another review) needless to say we couldn’t stomach much of anything… Hours later we traveled to Atlanta and now food food food was all we wanted.
We turned to Unilocal to find some good dinner spots and Unilocal never disappoints!
We decided on Front Page News… this location sits snuggled in busy downtown Atlanta between Krave and a Lure.
Parking can be a little frustrating and congested but if you do valet parking and get a validation voucher from FPN the cost is only $ 4…save your nerves and frustration on something else… DO VALET
Upon our entrance I noticed the nice décor which resembles a NOLA setting. We were seated upstairs right in front of the band.
I ordered shrimp and grits… mouth watering… my tastebuds are salvating now as I’m writing this review! The dish was quite sizey and the shrimp was a good portion which was drowned in their creamy sauce.
My other half ordered a shrimp and oyster po boy. The shrimp and oyster were perfectly fried to a golden crisp and surrounded by an array of other toppings… both dishes were a 10!
Great music from a live band and great service

Great selection of New Orleans inspired entrees for lunch. We’re from the north so we don’t know what’s good, but we still enjoyed our lunch! It wasn’t as busy for lunch but I can imagine the atmosphere being fun at night.

Let it be known, I’m a Creole snob. I’m from NOLA & grew up on Mama’s cooking, so I’m pretty picky when it comes to restaurants that claim to serve real creole fare.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is good, if you don’t know that it could be BETTER. I was stoked about a Bloody Mary, and really excited when I saw the «Bloody Bar,» but all of the mixers were empty, and ALL of the garnishes were decimated. What’s the point of a «famous 100 ingredient BM bar» if it’s empty for Sunday brunch?
Cup of gumbo was good, a touch of heat, but more stewed tomatoes and bell pepper than seafood or okra. I think I had a total of 2 crawfish tails and 1 whole shrimp in my $ 7.99 cup. Eh. Andouille Deviled Eggs were a good concept, but fell a little flat. Hubby’s Pain Perdu was damn good, definitely the most redeeming aspect of our meal. I think my Shrimp and Biscuits was the biggest let-​down though. Even though it took forever for our food to come out, it seemed like this dish was just thrown together. The flavors clearly hadn’t had time to make friends with one another. And the shrimp weren’t even deveined. Gross.
The homely, comforting quality found in Creole cooking comes from TLC, and I’m not even sure that roux is in the vocabulary here. Bottom line, if you’re just looking for some filling brunch, or a different flavor in your life, this place may cut the mustard. But if you’re looking for a taste of «home» in the A, brace yourself for potential disappointment (which you’re already well accustomed to if you’re an LA native who has ever been convinced to try «an amazing Cajun restaurant» anywhere but home or Mama’s house).
Please forgive the homesick grub rant. 3 stars for neat patio and having the Saints game on as we were leaving. And for serving brunch till 4, because we love us some brunch.

Awright, I’ve been a (reluctant) hater before, but I do know when to give a place its dues. Not for the Mahi sandwich (not yet, anyway; have yet to revisit this and in fact the bf pretty much forbade me from ordering this again), but the other things we picked out were quite good!
Gumbo Ya-​Ya (7.99 for the bowl): a tasty non-​seafood version of their gumbo that includes lots of smoky sausage and a pile of rice in the middle to soak up that salty goodness. Without the rice, I confess this would have been a tad TOO salty, but as is the gumbo was delish.
Chicken BLT: surprisingly juicy grilled chicken breast, and fresh, crisp veggies. What’s not to love?
Major props, too, for the service. Sure, prompt refills for our waters, but even better, our server was very attentive to our safety needs – I’m talking about hearing loss, here. The music for whatever reason was SUPER loud when we first came in, but the staff were very gracious and quick to adjust the volume to a noticeably more comfortable level. Such a small detail, a memorable one for me. Sometimes it’s about more than just the food.

I came in pretty late, almost to closing, but they had a limited food menu! Ordered the bayou something and it was SALTY. Barely edible. I only choked some down because I was starving and tried to wash the salt down with my beer.
Service was alright even at that late hour, just wish the food turned out better, like my last visit.
Takes card.

We order takeout on the average a few times a month. Food usually very good. I like the Cajun Cuban sandwich, the fish and chips, and the burgers. Like the spicy barbecue sauce to go with my tots and fries. I prefer the tots, but sometimes when I dunk them in the bbq sauce, they fall apart. But that’s not a huge deal.
I guess my biggest problem is that the sandwiches like the Philly, and to a lesser extent, the burgers, seem too bready. I’d like to see either more meat or smaller buns and rolls. I know you need a substantial foundation for a good sandwich, but I think some improvement in this area would be nice.
Otherwise, I think it’s good food at a pretty good value. ⁴⁄₅ stars in all.

We had a large party for brunch here on a Saturday morning and we were able to sit in the nice patio area and enjoy the great weather. I ordered the veggie scramble with egg whites and I guess it would have been good had they attempted to season it in any way but they didn’t and so it was just ok. The parking is a little crazy if you don’t find anything on the street.

I came here for a birthday dinner with 8 people on the patio. It was a gorgeous afternoon and we got a table with no problem. Our waitress was fast and attentive. We all ordered drinks which came out immediately. This is where I ordered the BEST Turkey Reuben that I’ve ever had in Atlanta so far! It was perfect! It had the perfect amount of turkey, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and 1000 Island dressing. It traditionally comes with fries, tots, or coleslaw or you can pay an extra $ 1 for a different side on the menu. I chose the upgraded side salad which was delicious as well with the honey balsamic vignette dressing.
Everyone at our table was pretty impressed with the food. The drinks were even a decent price. They also sell fish bowl drinks for sharing for $ 29.99! I can’t wait to come back and try one! I definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re looking for a nice patio environment.

Sunday brunch here, french quarter style on a beautiful Spring day — what more can you ask for! Love the outside bar and seating area. The inside is quaint and sets a totally different vibe, I like it! My friend got the shrimp and crab cakes and I got the crab cakes benedict and eggrolls — the eggrolls with the sauce was delicious! We enjoyed allll the food! We got the mimosa pitcher — which I liked because you can pour your champagne at your own leisure. The reason why they are lacking a star is due to the service, our server was polite yet she mixed up cards and charged the wrong bills to the wrong cards — that is just unacceptable.

We didn’t eat here, so I can’t say anything about the food, except that it looked good and smelled even better.
We were looking for somewhere to just hang out and have a few drinks. This was the perfect place. We sat outside by the fountain. It was beautiful scenery and just very relaxing. Out waitress was on it, making sure our drinks never got low. She also provided some insight on good places to eat in the area. The drinks were good and reasonably priced.
