North River Tavern - Sports bar in Sandy Springs - 8879 Roswell Rd, USA

In the last year this place has gone down hill. The food doesn't stay consistently good (like the picture I included) we got the pepperoni appetizer the meat was dry/hard as a rock! There was little to no filling, they put this item up two months ago and it was good for a month. Some of the bartenders are rude, they don't check up on you as much. If they see your drink is empty they just walk away, the food takes forever!! We went in on a Wednesday in the afternoon probably about 7 people there our food took what seemed like over 30 minutes. I know it's a dive bar but it has to have standards. There obviously isn't someone checking the food before it goes out. Probably not coming back here.

If you want plastic cheese with canned chicken in a puddle of grease, this place is for you! Ordered chicken nachos, which you’d think any bar should do well with and this is what I received. Pico tasted off, chips were stale and whatever sauce they tossed the chicken in I’d check the expiration date. This was my first time here so I’m not sure if this is the norm but in addition to the stale chips and awful ingredients, the cheese was cold and starting to congeal. Will avoid North River Tavern in the future.

Went here with two friends on a Wednesday night, and left pretty dissatisfied. Bill came to $80 after tip, and I was angered to pay that kind of price for the experience that we had. No alcohol or expensive plates were ordered either. To start, the hostess had to take our order because our server was nowhere to be found after 10 minutes (the hostess was very attentive though). They took our drink and food order at the same time which we appreciated. Our appetizer never came, and it was instead delivered with the rest of the food, which we waited close to an hour for. My burger was uninspiring. There was little to no flavor, the meat was dry, very little sauce, and the cheese & bacon were overcooked/burnt. My sides were about the same. My friends had better luck with their entrees, but they both ordered Mac & Cheese that came out watery. I've never seen watery mac & cheese before. We would've brought these things up to our server, but we only saw this person once during our whole visit. Our section of the restaurant seemed to be almost forgotten. None of us ever got drink refills, which was disappointing. The appetizer that came with the entrees was too tough to chew, so we left it untouched. Much disappointment was had that night. Seems like management needs to kick themselves into higher gear.

Don’t get me wrong the food is good but, I don’t know who they have on the weekends because every time I order Uber Eats from this place on the weekends, they get my order wrong and they forget items that are on the receipt. I didn’t order lemon pepper wings. I ordered lemonyaki wings that’s supposed to be lemon pepper with teriyaki sauce on the wings. And no honey mustard was in the bag or in the box.

I used to enjoy coming here and getting quality food and drinks. Recently (being the last 4 visits), the food has dropped to below what you would expect from any eatery. The chicken in the tavern taquitos is dry and lacks flavor, the drinks are inconsistent, and the food feels as if it's just put on a plate to get a quick buck. Average wait time (when not busy) is around 30 min or longer. And the initial interaction with the bartender (3rd time having her) she was not interactive, and more just going through the motion to get away I am sad to see this, and i do recognize some good people here. However, as an overall experience, I will not be returning.

One of the few remaining classic taverns left that still allow smoking at the bar. Very friendly and great staff to assist you with any orders and questions you may have. The food here is absolutely to die for and I recommend it to everyone. You like ranch? You'll fall in love with the house made ranch here that you WILL NOT find anywhere else! Taco Tuesday will absolutely have your mouth watering trying to decide which tacos to order. 100% recommend this bar to anyone who likes to meet new people, have a great time, and eat great food all at the same location!

When I walked past this place during the day, the parking lot was full. So I was bored and drove back at night and happy I stopped by. I got in around 12am and they closed at 2 so that was enough time the bartenders was very cool and down to earth I know Bri was one and I for get the other young lady name maybe Chesley my apologies if I messed that up lol. But I stopped in cause I wasn't quit ready for bed, there was a live dj playing all the hits there's a pool table room, the food was good and it was nice an chill stop so happy I stopped in when I am in the area again I see myself stopping by to this well diverse bar. I had a said salad and shrimp taco, which I enjoyed with a neat don Julio on the rocks with a glass of white zinfandel just enough to ennld my night before my flight.

We ordered to go and went to pick up our order. When we got home, we noticed our appetizer was missing. We headed back with food beginning to get cold. Once we got the appetizer, we returned home to fix our plates. Upon opening everything, we noticed not only 13 fried pickles but our chicken was burnt. The order was also incorrect. As we all know, all employees now want a tip no matter if you eat in. I would recommend going to the Three Dollar Cafe right down the street. We have never had an issue. Also Brookwood Grill on Holcomb bridge has a great menu and service. I would not waste my time. Needless to say, I won't be returning to this place. I feel like my money and TIME was stolen from me. Hope this helps some of you make your decision.
