The Peach Bar And Grill

Your tweet-​sized review: «bad food, bad service, bad layout.»
The first indicator was the plastic wrapped combo-​napkin-​plastic-​cutlery thing. I was surprised when I picked it up because it didn’t weigh anything and I couldn’t remember the last time I was at a _​restaurant_​that used these.
I ordered the soup and steamed veggies as a side.
The chicken noodle soup was exactly like Progresso brand soup from a can. At first I was told the soups weren’t made fresh, then I was told that they we’re. Umm, how can you not know ?
Steamed veggies must have had freezer burns before they were steamed. They came out looking dry and were devoid of any flavor.
Total bill — $ 11 — for approximately 1 ½ cups each of soup and veggies ! Served on a black plastic styrofoam plate with plastic utensils — jeez this place must generate A LOT of garbage.
I’d rather eat from a vending machine. Pass this place pronto !

I definitely would not return here. The staff was friendly enough and I managed to have a good beer, but the food was boring and undercooked. I don’t eat burgers or sandwich meat, so sometimes getting something on the fly is a pain in the ass. I stopped in here because I could get a chicken sandwich and a beer, and I thought that that this would be a mediocre meal but better than fast food.
I was wrong. The place was extremely crowded, so when the sandwich came out with the sort of «grilled» chicken that was cooked, put in water, and then warmed a bit and stamped to look like it was grilled, I suspected that my meal would be worthy of being sent back but that I wouldn’t be able to flag my waitress down and get a new meal within any reasonable amount of time. And when the chicken was pinkish and the ranch dressing was caesar, my suspicions were confirmed. The sandwich was inedible unless I wanted to take my chances with salmonella, the sides were flaccid and generally uninspiring, and I felt like I was in a sardine can.
Long story short: go elsewhere.

My better half and I got grilled chicken sandwiches to go. The sandwiches were large and the steak fries (my fav) weren’t soggy or greasy. Overall we were very happy with one exception — I stood at the hostess stand for about five minutes before anyone acknowledged me. Once our order was taken it was pretty fast though.

The United Club in Atlanta is such a pathetic waste of space… so this had to work in a pinch — and it helped they had local brews. Was not particularly impressed with the food, but my server recommended the Reuben, which I often love, and tasted good. Sauce on the side made it less ooey-​gooey than it probably could have been.

I feel fortunate to not find myself in airports very often. I do not like flying, but I like airports even less. That weird space between the metal detectors and getting on the airplane, I think, is one of the most disturbing spaces of modern existence. There is something about taking off your belt and watch and shoes, everything out of your pockets, that just says «jail» to me, if not «death.» You feel like you’re in that place between dying and Heaven (or «the other place,» as the case my be). It’s hard to judge an airport restaurant against non-​airport restaurants that are actually allowed to use silverware, and where the employees don’t feel like they’re going to work at a federal penitentiary. It’s an unwritten law that you HAVE to have big TV screens in airport restaurants, as well as constant, annoying boarding announcements.
I stopped in the Peach Bar and Grill because one place after another in the Atlanta airport told me they didn’t serve breakfast after 10:30 AM! Come on! Is there any place where the conventions of breakfast, lunch, supper, as well as day and night, for that matter, should be ignored more than an airport? The Peach was still serving breakfast, and as I was being laid over in the South, somewhat against my will, at least I wanted some grits out of it. The grits were very good. I also got a «Peach Salad» which was good except for having only three little peach slices in it. Now, you’re in Georgia (kind of) and you’re at a place called «The Peach» and you order a salad called the peach salad… wouldn’t you expect more than three little peach slices? I know they probably have to come all the way from South America, or Asia, but still…
But everything else was great. The waiter was charming, and even though I wasn’t able to forget that I was in an airport, I was quite happy. The other good thing is I sat at the well designed counter space by the front window, facing the restrooms, which is actually a really good people watching spot. People watching is one of the few things airports are good for.

Is there such a thing as good bar food in an airport? I’m thoroughly disappointed in the food options for Terminal D as well as the construction. Famished and arriving at peak dinner time I’m left with few food options and had to duck into this place. Since its crowded, service is out the window. My main entrée arrived 2 min after my soup. The food is fair but at least its hot. The quality is pre packaged and re heated. If u want fine dining avoid at all cost. It’s over priced and mediocre at best. Should have gotten a quiznos sandwich. But at least I have a seat and table! But doesn’t make up for the disposable utensils and plates! Styrofoam kills the planet yo!

Pretty typical airport food, mediocre and overpriced. I had some very strange Pimento Cheese dip, which I sent back and a completely sufficient bacon and cheese omelete.
I will say the service was great, attentive and pleasant.
If you have a long enough layover, do yourself a favor and head to Concourse E and eat at «One Flew South»!

Traveling yesterday morning I was a little disappointed I could not get my pre-​flight bloody mary at 7:30am, as Georgia law prohibits sales of alcohol before 9am at the airport. Trust me when I say that I needed that drink to get my flying nerves in order, but oh well they had breakfast so I went with that.
I ordered the 3 pancake breakfast that was $ 7.99. I figured I’d get a side of bacon or something for that price, but no it was just pancakes. The pancakes were average at best and nothing special. I was really surprised too by the fact it was served on styrofoam plates with plastic silverware. I would have came out better getting a McDonald’s breakfast.
Also the service was pretty lousy as well. I sat at the bar where it took a while to be acknowledged by the bartender who was busy talking to another bartender and the other waitstaff in the restaurant. This place is a rotten peach.

Ordered 2 egg breakfast with bacon at 0635. Got my food in about 10 minutes (see photo). I was surprised it was served on styrofoam plates with mismatched plastic utensils, but food was ok and service was cordial.
