1885 Grill- Kennesaw

Upscale Casual Dining, Comfortable Seating, Reasonably Priced Delicious Food! Shoutout to Our Waitress Greysen who went above and beyond to help us make our selections and Our Date Night experience memorable!! I had the Grilled Pork Chop ( seared to perfection!) and Lisa had the Ribeye Steak which was Mouthwatering!! We ordered The Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream ( 2 spoons) for dessert! We will be back to try another selection from the menu!

Parking wasn't a problem. The atmosphere was quaint and the level of noise was quiet enough to have a conversation where we could easily hear each other talking throughout dinner. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, and the soup was excellent. Note: the large salad is very large, but delicious and fresh. The Southern-style cream corn was not too heavy, and the feta-scallion mashed potatoes complemented the entrée perfectly. Our waitress, Kenedy, checked on us frequently throughout the meal to ensure we were satisfied. All in all, it was an extremely enjoyable experience at a reasonable cost and fully aligned with our expectations.

Food was delicious. We ordered the ribeye steaks with loaded baked potatoes. The staff were friendly. The only thing we would mention, is to keep more of the A1 Sauce in stock. Ribeye was well seasoned but some ppl just love the sauce with their steaks. But overall, very delicious!

From the moment we walked in, the service was on point friendly, fast, and with real smiles, not fake ones. We started with the Mac & Cheese Balls, and man, they caught me off guard. I’m not a mac & cheese person, but these are different crispy outside, creamy inside, more like croquettes. Definitely a must-try. Now the steak cuts… that’s where they nailed it 🔥. Real grill flavor smoky, juicy, that kind of taste that takes you back to when you fire up the charcoal at home. It’s been years since I had meat that good. The Cajun Chicken didn’t quite make the cut not bad, just lacking that spark. And for the drinks, presentation was solid but the flavor didn’t match the look. Pretty, but not memorable. Overall, good vibes, great service, and real potential. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a 5-star spot. For now, a well-deserved 4/5⭐️, and I’ll definitely be back to see how they level up.

Excellent server, and service. Food was a step above. Recommend for groups, Kennesaw location. Know that parking is limited, you may have to parking the street parking, but someone told me under the tunnel leads to more parking behind the restaurant. Service A++. Food A++. Even the greeters were excellent in wanting to give to-go bags, and help.

You MUST try the bread pudding! My girlfriend and I pride ourselves on cooking great food ourselves. We are in our fifties and adventurous eaters. We were stunned at how good this dish is. Literally the best thing either of us has ever tasted. Just wow. PS. If you get buffalo shrimp tacos, squeeze a lemon wedge over them. Quite good. Fried okra looked in house prepared and also quite good.

I ate here for the first time last week and it only made sense for my man and I had to come back for Valentine’s Day, which the restaurant was decorated for! The food here is so good. I cannot stop thinking about it and I’m already planning my next visit! We had such a good experience with Savannah P as our waitress, nothing but smiles, Good knowledge about many items and immaculate service! The manager, Cheyenne stopped by our table, and she was so incredibly pleasant and genuine! Really made us feel welcome and make sure we were having a great time! The atmosphere is so comfortable, the playlist had us singing little songs all throughout dinner and the food will make you wish that you never got full so that you can just keep enjoying all the intricate flavors! I highly recommend this restaurant. If I can give it 100 stars I would!

I had a lovely time at 1885 grill in Kennesaw. The food was delicious and the service was absolutely top notch. Our server Kels, was amazing! She was very attentive and super friendly. The manager, Savannah, came around and thanked us for coming in and told us the history of the restaurant. She was so welcoming and warm. We will definitely return!

My husband wanted to eat a steak so I found 1886 Grill online. I made reservations there for my Husband's birthday dinner. We went to the one in Kennesaw, Ga! The service was exceptional and the food was magnificent ! My husband ordered a ribeye steak very tendered and mash potatoes and I ordered the chicken with mushrooms sauce glazed over it and mash potatoes and Mac n cheese. He also had a house salad and I had their "must have again"hush puppies:) All the food we ate was cooked to perfection! The waiter was very nice and attentive.The service was great & even the manager can over to give my husband a birthday dessert of his choice! We will definitely go back. The restaurant ambiences was nice & clean and very welcoming atmosphere! I give it a 5 star rating!!!!! I will for sure refer it to my friends & family!!!!

Very cool place clean atmosphere bathrooms are nice. Service is great. The food was really good. They're 1885. Hamburger is amazing me and my wife randomly come here and we've always enjoyed our experience.

Upstairs patio was nice, waitress was nice, food was good. Yummy. They do have a slightly different menu than the Acworth location so keep that in mind. The only thing I don't like is the plates. The plate had spots that didn't give a clean appearance. I will go back.

Stopped by on a weekend evening with reservations but it wasn't necessary. Initial impressions are it is a cool layout with tasteful decor and nice people. Ordered a taco Tuesday beer from Monday night brewing but the tap was empty. Decent draft beer selection though. Jalapeño corn poppers were average with a somewhat bland aioli. I ordered the Buffalo shrimp tacos ad a main. The shrimp was heavily breaded and drenched in sauce so no shrimp taste to the meal. The fresh bits of bleu cheese were a nice touch and saved the taco. Fries were OK. GF had the salmon bowl which she enjoyed. Overall, just average food. Waiter (Ricari) was pleasant and attentive.

Was at this place last night and the food was reasonable. What I hate about this place, and I had the same experience at the Acworth location, is the service. The servers don't seem to understand that after the appetizers are finished it is expected to remove ALL the plates and serving dishes once everyone is finished eating !! This did not happen so then we had to eat our main course looking at several plates with chicken bones on. This is really not acceptable for a restaurant that would like to be up market. At 2 out of 2 on this complaint there must be a systemic issue ... poor training. Shame really because so easy to fix. Good luck ....

I loved 1885 in Acworth and was excited about having one in Kennesaw. My first visit to the new Kennesaw location was good, but sub-standard to Acworth. This summer it seems that the menu and quality of food has changed at both locations. The ambiance is still great, service good but the food not as good. Sadly, I will not be back to either location after several mediocre meals.

Southern charm meets coastal flavor at 1885 Grill in Kennesaw! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, attentive service, and an inviting ambiance that sets the tone for a perfect dining experience. The menu is a mouthwatering blend of Southern classics and coastal cuisine--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Whether you're dining al fresco under the red umbrellas or enjoying the cozy indoor vibe, 1885 Grill delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for date nights, celebrations, or just because you love great food done right! They also observed refined sugar free food restrictions and preferences. Part of the great service. Just let them know and they will accommodate you!

Back again to see our Fav Bailey on the rooftop and of course to eat the delicious food. We absolutely love this place! The service is top tier, the rooftop is a vibe, and BAILEY IS AWESOME!

Had dinner with a large group in early September. It's a relatively new restaurant so it wasn't too crowded. Parking could bit a bit of an issue but there are locations off premises with a short walk to the restaurant. I ordered wings and they were really good. I also got the pecan bread pudding which was also very delicious. Will definitely make it back there. Everyone thought the food they ordered was great. It seems they lean more towards seafood though than the acworth location.

I come to this restaurant every time I'm in town for business and it never disappoints. I've had the jalapeño corn fritters which is a great starter. The sea bass is worth the trip alone. The Biggs bbq chicken is fantastic! The service always exceeds expectations and the upstairs bar is perfect!

The lights falling off the building on every corner should have let me know not to come in. But I decided against my better judgement to give it a shot. Needless to say by my 2 star review. The canned crawfish in the etouffee was horrible. Bread hard as a rock. Desert was fire so I had to not give it a 1 star.

We started going to the Kennesaw 1885 grill. It started as a whim it became our go to. The food there is great. You've never had a complaint. It has flavor that we like.! the service there is outstanding too. We always go for particular bartenders because we know they take care of as well and they care about what we want and ask if we're OK all the time. It's a quaint place. We really enjoy the comfort that comes from this ambience. Period if you wanna enjoy a good meal and have a good time, this is the place to come to.!

This place is OMG delicious. The apps in the picture were delicious. The corn fritters are capital "O" Outstanding. I loved the pimenta cheese on the fried green tomatoes. I tasted 3 entrees. My wife loves Shrimp and Grits and 1885 did not disappoint. They were really good. My son had the Southern Fried Chicken over mashed potatoes. It was a large fried boneless cutlet. The gravy had a creole taste to it and it was all fantastic. I had the blackened chicken and pasta. The creamy Cajun sauce was delish. The linguini was perfectly al dente. I added grilled veggies to it and the squash and mushrooms were a perfect addition. My wife and I shared a warm brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. I will absolutely be back for steaks in the near future. Our waitress, Jasmine, was sweet, attentive and on point. Our water glasses were never empty and empty plates were cleared quickly. Thank you to Chef Luis and Jasmine for a fantastic Father's Day dinner!!!!

This very busy restaurant has a good potential however does not provide a cooking consistency. For example, my husband 30 days aged ribeye steak was excellent, but my chicken tights with North Carolina white bbq sauce were overcooked and dry. My watermelon salad had old tasteless feta cheese , but my husband's side's salad was fresh and tasty. Our server was good but the whole ambiance at the restaurant felt like speed dating, the salads came before even the wine was served. There is a difference between the efficiency and being rushed. I hope this restaurant will learn that difference.

Very welcoming very clean this is a hot dog covered with pimento cheese fried green tomatoes ciao ciao was delicious foot-long hotdog with french fries it was hot and ready. Very welcoming. Love the experience. Nice sit down restaurant enjoyed it very much. Will definitely be back. Thank you very much.

Ok, I'm from Maryland and their crab cakes here are over the top. I took a picture but more than half was gone. lol. The service excellent and chef came out to answer my question regarding the ingredients in the crab cake. We were at the bar and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place.

Overall good experience at 1885 Grill! Service was awesome. Staff walking by checked in on our general wellbeing which is always a plus. The restaurant including the restrooms were clean. Most of the food we ordered was good. The consistency of crab bisque needs some work. It was extremely watery and lacked flavor. The smoked salmon and artichoke dip was good. The warm pita paired nicely! I ordered the Chilean Salmon for my entree which was good however the compound butter was forgotten and the seasonal vegetables were extremely burnt and uneatable. Caesar salad was delicious! Overall price and location (parking YES) were good as well!

The food was ok. The service was terrific! The restaurant had a nice decor but fell short of the What was there when trackside was there. We had the hush puppies and they just ok. My wife had some crab soup and it was not that good. My chicken was edible but not great. We will not return.

The service was excellent and the food was too! We really enjoyed the live music and mimosas during brunch, and unlike some brunch spots we never felt rushed to give up our table. We ate outside and really liked the relaxed, but not overly casual atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as long as you are not trying to diet! lol

Disappointed that my meal came out 10 minutes after the rest of the table. Took two times to get my steak to temp but other party at tables filet ended up like a hockey puck. Drinks were good but steaks sucked. Too bad, had high hopes for this restaurant. Inconsistent from one dining experience to another. The restaurants idea of apology is a free dessert and an appetizer coupon. Too bad! I was first to review this place and ownership has yet to claim Yelp site. Wonder why?

Excellent food, awesome service and fantastic ambience!!!! My lovely wife, Lane and I decided to try Tavern 1885 in Kennesaw for our Valentine's Day dinner. It was FANTASTIC!!!!! Maggie was our server and she is a rockstar - we had the jalapeno fritters for an app, then the Sea Bass and the Salmon for the entrees.... every item was perfectly cooked and Maggie suggested all of the items to us!!!! Pete, the GM, came by a few times to check on us and we were quite impressed with everything!!!! This is a great dining experience and we will absolutely be back to see Maggie and Pete. We dine out about 2 or 3 times a week and after two years of living here - this was the very best dining experience we have had (and we are restaurant people!). I would give them 100 stars if I could!!!!

Awesome food and service and easy parking located in a wonderful downtown Acworth. And Kennesaw. The inside and surrounding area allows for walking and sight seeing.

The restaurant is very nice and in a great location. We went to early dinner (5pm) hoping to miss the crowds. Unfortunately we must have missed the wait staff who seemed like they were on break. My food was way too salty, I should have sent it back. But I don't prefer to do that. They messed up my friend's order and it had to be remade. When it came they had her put the shrimp from her salad onto the late arriving pasta. So she had cold shrimp on her pasta. They should have brought the new dish with new cooked shrimp. Then the waitress never came back to see if everything was ok. My friend had to flag her down several times. Her boss had to come over because she wasn't available. They give a Coke in about an 8 oz glass for $3 and never come back and refill it. Really missed the mark for me and my friend. Very disappointing especially because I recommended we go here.

Got in before our scheduled booking time. The hash was over cooked French fries with sausage.. would have been so much better with red potatoes. The biscuits and gravy.. the biscuits were huge which let them to be a little overcooked on the top, but overall were good. Great service.

Food was delicious! I had the blackened chicken pasta ( what would have made it great would have been a piece of toasted French bread), wife had ultimate burger, daughter had teriyaki salmon bowl and grandson had chicken tenders with Mac& cheese. Manager came to check on us, which was nice. Service was very good, atmosphere very clean and inviting! Not as crowded early in a Friday afternoon as 1885 in Acworth. We've eaten here previously on another visit and will certainly return! Parking can be a challenge but no problem this time. Thanks 1885 for an enjoyable time.

First time visiting this restaurant and it was a great experience ! The staff were very friendly and nice, My husband got the ribeye and I got the country fried Chicken and they were both absolutely delicious! It was our 11th wedding anniversary and we received a complimentary dessert from the manager , The pecan bread pudding SO good! We'll be back and definitely recommend to friends and family!

Food is good Servers tend to be students from KSU It is very noisy .. biggest unhappiness is the high level of noise They do many special events .. so plus for that

We have been to 1885 many times. It is always fantastic! Savannah was a great server, very friendly and recommended the buffalo shrimp which were delicious. Note to mgt please add it to your menu. We had ribeyes and salmon which were as good as can get. Overall a great dinner and evening.

Everything about this place was fabulous. I was meeting my sister and her family there for dinner and we started out with appetizers and worked our way through the desserts. It was all great.

Amazing place. We sat at the bar and had the greatest bartenders around. They were friendly, attentive, professional and a great bunch of people to be around. Every server was friendly, and the managers went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The drink specials offers were awesome, the cocktail that was made for was perfect. The craft beers are very good and the wine selection was great. The food was spectacular and the prices very reasonable. This will be our new go to place.

I am blown away with the team at 1885. We had a community event at my office and they knocked it out of the park! They showed up early, were professional, extremely attentive and responsive to each and every one of our 100 guests. Mike and Faith are so great and were easy to work with on the front end. They do so much for our community and help us make great memories with outstanding food and service. Thanks to you both!! I highly recommend 1885 Kennesaw for your next catered event. 10/10 satisfied!!!

I visited this new location for a Sunday brunch with a friend. I've been to the one in Acworth several times and the one near Chattanooga as well. This was my best experience out of the 3 locations. The service was GREAT, the food was GREAT and it came out nice and hot. My friend and I both had the "Chicken and Waffles". I would highly recommend visiting this new location in downtown Kennesaw.

We were excited that they opened a new location so much closer to our house so we decided to go. Staff is very nice, ambiance very chill and comfortable, food was good but for the high price the portions are way too small. And I don't eat a ton and watch what I each, I've become allergic to several ingredients recently, so I am not one that needs a huge plate of food and even for me it was small, the food looks lost on the plate. It's just not even, either give more food or lower the price cuz that was insanely high

dinner was fine but customer service was not the best. waited for the bill for 45 minutes and then they messed it up and waited another 45 minutes. Meal ended at 8 left at 9:53

First visit passing through town. Wonderful food, especially the flounder and bread pudding for dessert! Isabella was delightful and attentive, overall experience was outstanding. We like to find local establishments, the ambience they created was warm and comfortable.

We had a large party of over 20 people for a celebration. The service by Kelsey and Avery was awesome, the cocktails were great (especially "build your own old fashioned"), all entrees, and desserts were well prepared, served promptly and together, great cocktail. Highly recommended grill and my new favorite place in Ga.

Our server PJ was great! I debated between a sandwich and their steak flatbread special and ended up going with the flatbread per his recommendation which was amazing! Steak was tender, perfect amount of arugula and blue cheese. I hope this location continues to do well!

Normally I love 1885, been to the ones in Chattanooga and in Acworth both 4.5 to 5 stars. Kennesaw needs some help food is just ok, service is well hit or miss. Nice location and atmosphere. All the other locations is always friendly fun!

The staff and service is truly incredible, they hit the mark every time with friendly banter, good vibes, and speedy/attentive service. The food speaks for itself, this place is a must try. The menu changes up every once in a while and it's never a bad addition. The country Cuban is my go to, and ever since the bartender recommended dipping it in lobster bisque, my life has never been the same! Amazing place to go with family and friends, or solo.

We sat at the bar, the food was great, the service was great, it was lovely and decorated for the holidays, just a nice experience

Great food and service. The place is very hip and set up nicely. Convenient parking. I looking forward to my next visit!!

Sat with Kelsey and she was amazing!! Always love this place and 13$ burger night on Monday

My husband & I just had a late birthday lunch & very much enjoyed ourselves! First time to the newer Kennesaw location, which is a little smaller than the Acworth location. It was formerly TrackSide. We had Fried Shrimp & a Pork Chop ~ they were both very good. Next time I would probably go with medium rare, rather than medium well on the Pork Chop. Our waitress (so sorry I've forgotten her name) wanted to make sure we had a special birthday meal. She adjusted my Spiced Egg Nog, as it was too strong initially. She was attentive. She served a birthday brownie ala mode, which was complimentary. We had to also have the Bread Pudding, which is our favorite ~ to die for, also served with ice cream. Great menu ~ you won't regret dining here!
