Breakfast at Barneys

Atlanta GA

Where do I start with this place whewwwww. First I heard great things about the food here. Everyone says it was a long wait maybe 2 hours but the food is worth the wait. So, we have our women’s brunch once a month and this was the place we picked.

Sunday we went out here and it is a long line out but we got there early. Our brunch time is 12. We got there at 10:40 thinking that’s good enough time so when the group got there we could be seated by 12 no later than 12:30. Whew was I wrong we got seated around 3 something. A long time to wait on some food but everyone we talked to out there was saying the food is great and it’s worth the wait. I am thinking what food is so great that you will wait 4 hours to eat. I am like this food is gonna be so good I can’t wait.

So, we waited for a nice day outside and then a fight breaks out and someone says he has a gun so now everyone is running, plates have been crashed people are chasing people. I am like oh my gosh we are all running because a bullet doesn’t have anyone’s name on it. So now it’s like we waited so long do we leave or stay. So, things happen, it clears up and business continues. So we stay and wait another 20 minutes and then we are seated.

It’s nice inside, everything looks nice and we are seated. The customer service was nice and everything so I ordered the big pancakes real fluffy. It was ok but now I am asking if this is worth the wait. 4 hours for this and it’s no free refills on drinks. I am like wow.

This was not how I wanted to spend my Sunday all day waiting and then the food was ok but not worth the wait. What I can say is it was an experience and nothing wrong with trying something new out.

At this point I would not go back but I don’t think that it is a bad place at all. So the question is, is waiting for 4 hrs for some food worth it? Would you do it? Maybe if I ever go back and have no wait line I will try something new because the pancakes were ok but not worth the wait. Glad to be able to support a black business though.

Much respect to black owned businesses continues to grow and much respect. Hope that they get better with the time they wait for people or limit people to seating.  I Saw some celebrities in the house also but my first impression wasn’t the best.  Congrats on everything.

Got a chance to try this place out. I have been meaning to get in here since it opened. Glad I got a chance to go . The customer service was very good. They checked on us to make sure we had refills and everything. I was very pleased. When the customer service is good you always will come back. Great service needs to be everywhere you go. I always believe that customer service should be number one when in that type of business.

Next the food was delicious. Those crab legs and shrimp were nice and fresh. Was just enough for what I ordered. The sauce was good. Everything was good. I like juicy crabs but this place I definitely would come back and enjoy.

It had a live DJ that had us jamming in our seats. It wasn’t ratchet music, it was just good music with a different selection of styles. So it was like you were jamming in your seat while eating just enjoying the vibe. It was really cool to see that.

It was not crowded at all so that was a good thing. All I can say about this place is that the first experience was a great experience. I definitely will be back and will tell people about it. Glad to have a seafood place close by also. Never can go wrong with some good seafood.

If you have not checked this place out and love seafood. This place is great for you. It’s close to Stonecrest mall and you can’t miss it. Great food, vibes and music can’t beat it.

Long Live the Legends

Performances By: Goodie Mob, Keith Murray & more

Hosted By: Fort Knox, Shanta Lana, DJ Kerosene, Just Jay, Rico the Plug and Ken Ivy

Place: The Atrium

This event was so dope. To be able to do media for the Legends Goodie Mob and Keith Murray. I can say that Keith put on a show. He jumped off the stage and interacted with the crowd. That’s what a lot of artists don’t understand. You must interact with the audience.

If an artist can put on a show that makes people want to follow you then that will go a long way. For people that don’t know your music or never heard of you it shows that you can perform. There were so many dope artists, but they didn’t really make the media go crazy.

Goodie Mob is a Hip-Hop group that has been around since 1991 with Big Gipp, Khujo, Cee-lo and T-mo. They are the Atlanta Dungeon Family that’s still making great music for us.

Keith Murray is a rapper from New York, was a member of (L.O.D.) Legion of Doom also was a member of the Def Squad with Redman. He been a Legend for years and is still out here putting on great shows for the people and culture

Thanks to Long Live The legend this event was great and showed Atlanta where Goodie Mob started and from, they have been in the game for more than 25 years. Right here from the A. Still putting on great shows and music for the people, the culture and as a group still hanging together. The Atrium is a really nice place for events and space. The hosts were great, and the DJ did a great job.

Look forward to more events from them and can’t wait to see what 2021 will bring.
