Atlanta Bread

So my wife and I are officially addicted to this place. Excellent service, not a single item on the menu is a miss. This is our 5^th trip in 8 days, driving in from Fort Rucker (30 miles) just for the food.

This is one of the worst places to eat in Dothan. The loyal crowd is there to support the business but beware if you are out of town! I usually order a safe option, avocado/​turkey sandwich but decided to get something different and ordered their ‘salmon banh mi’. Mistake! On the wall they have a sign ‘our salmon is wild caught’. Not sure when this sign got posted but it is NOT anything that even remotely reminded me of salmon. It was thrown in a microwave frozen and by the time it got out, it looked and tasted like piece of plastic mixed with rubber. I didn’t expect them to understand the concept of banh mi, just wanted the ‘wild caught ‘.
This place is overpriced for the quality of food they are serving and the ‘chefs’ do not really care of what’s thrown on your sandwich. There is a little space they have to ‘assemble’ your food but its behind the counter and you can’t really see the process of preparation.
Dothan is limited in food options and new restaurants don’t stay afloat for any length of time, especially if they are good. Sorry to say but on a stretch from Atlanta to the beach, this is one of two options in town, second one is Panera. They do have some good people working there, though. Some days you get great service. I love Lavazza coffee but you have to ask them to brew fresh pot if you want to drink it. Some of the pots are sitting on the counter for hours!!!
Not coming back…

«Would you like chicken on your Caesar salad?» «Yes, please.» Little did I know I was agreeing to the cook dumping streaming dog vomit on my crisp green leaves. I looked at it, smelled it, and scraped it off. My wife took a bite of hers and gagged. I think it was frozen grilled chicken they microwaved but it had the consistency of puke and it took hours for the smell to leave my nostrils. The manager apologized saying this was «not their best product», and they were «in transition.» Im frankly appalled they even allowed that stuff to be put on plates, and «in transition» should mean «no chicken.» However, the managers were very nice and the free cookies were excellent.

This was a perfect place to drop in for a nice lunch while I worked using their free wifi. The atmosphere was casual and the staff were so nice! I had the chardonnay brie salad and chicken pesto panini. I loved how they offered both options (and most other food on the menu) for half and half. I’ll definitely be dropping by again when I’m in town next!

After what’s become years of allegiance to ABC (which became my nick for Atlanta Bread Co,) I’m remiss in writing this review for those of you who have been on the fence or just not sure what the place is all about.
Eating while working/​meeting
First, it’s a place where you can meet up with a colleague and have a bite to eat and go over the plans for a new store you’re opening with your partner. It’s a great place to get some work done, meet up with someone you’ve talked with, but don’t know what they look like, or just to stop in for an afternoon chocolate chip cookie that are the best in town to me — everything is made fresh daily on premise.
It’s a great satellite office for those whose office is across town, or for people like me who just like being here because it has a great feel to it. Probably has more to do with the people here who make you feel like you’re at home. Matt, your host and proprietor is the best, and his endless positive energy is infectious! Scott, Bruce and Dallas are great, and the entire team is always cheerful and eager to please.
The best deal for me is the half salad and half sandwich lunch special. You can also do a half salad and cup of soup. It’s all good, but I can’t resist the hot Italian pressed sandwiches — especially the chicken pesto panini. Best salad award goes to the Chinese Chopstix Salad, with Ginger dressing and little tangerine wedges, crispy chow mein noodles and chunks of grilled chicken breast.
I’m a complete fan of ABC and have watched it steadily grow to become a local success story, thanks to Matt’s arduous efforts over the years. If you decide to give it a try, please let’s know what your first impressions were. I’m unaccustomed to writing reviews like this, and I don’t feel I’ve given it justice, so let me know if there is something particular you’d like to know about the place!
I don’t know what I’d do without ABC just down the road, so I want them to be a huge success — but still with enough room for the old guard to come in and plug in and settle in for the afternoon!

Pretty much a Panera Bread. Completely satisfied my craving for a great Cubano. One of the best I’ve had! Even better than my recent experience at a Cuban restaurant. Way to go!

Love this place. Great place to go study, coffee is delicious and they have a good variety for lunch/​light dinner.
Free wiFi!

When we travel to Florida from Birmingham we always stop here. The service and food is good and the prices are reasonable.

Delicious food, very clean restaurant, great service, reasonable prices. Doesn’t get any better for the money. If you’re counting calories, though, check out the calorie count BEFORE ordering. They are shockingly high for something you’d think is ‘healthy’ food. BTW, if they have their seasonal Butternut Squash soup on the menu, don’t pass it up!

Great Food
Wifi
Friendly Atmosphere

It’s ABC, the same thing you can get all over. McAlister’s is a lot better IMHO, with way more choices to satisfy you. I got a panini, which was gross — they used the ends of the loaf and really smashed it down, and it was pretty revolting to try to eat it. On the upside, fast service, and walking distance from the Courtyard in town.

Nice place to dine. Really good food, nice staff and a pleasant dinig area.

This place is absolutely amazing. Everything on the menu is very good, and the pasteries are seriously perfect. The staff is generally very friendly and helpful, and if you’ve ever had the chance to meet and talk with the owner of the resturant (chances are you have– he makes a super effort to say hello to EVERYONE while they are eating), he is the nicest person. This place will definately be getting our buisness for the next couple years. The only down side to the place is that it can get pretty pricey quickly, especially if you are one that wants to try one of everything =o) This is a must if you are new to Enterprise/​Dothan, AL area.

I’ve eaten here roughly a million times. It’s always good and I’ve never had any problems. One warning though — about 7pm on Sunday night this place gets swamped with church groups. It becomes cheek to jowl and so loud you can’t hear yourself think. Any other time, ABC is a great place to eat. Free Wi Fi.

Stopped in for lunch. This is the second time I’ve been here. It’s kind of like a Jason’s Deli or McAllister’s Deli, except way better. The menu is considerably more limited than the afore mentioned places, but the sandwiches are really good. The first time I went, I had the tuna salad sandwich w/​a bowl of butternut squash soup… awesome!
Today, I had the New York pastrami sandwich w/​a bowl of French onion… awesome! the employees are very friendly, the place is clean, and the food is really good. I just wish that they had one of these places in Texas (can you deduct a star for that???)
Will definitely be making a return visit the next time I’m in town.

This place is pretty cool. I had a friend take me there back in October and ever since then i eat there when ever I’m wanting a sandwich. they have a good menu and the bread is made right there so you know its going to be fresh. the soups were a surprise and very good. once the meal is done you can get some coffee to go or a pastry if you have a sweet tooth.

A good default for breakfast. Can’t really get a $ 5 cup of coffee in this town, so if you can settle for $ 3.50, ABC is the place to go. Expect to wait 15 minutes if you want a fruit plate. The service is very friendly and accommodating though.
