656 Sports Bar & Grille

My friends and I arrived not expecting much just a place to grab a quick drink and an appetizer. Immediate service was good but definitely fell off as we were waiting for the food to arrive. Drinks are worth the price.. definitely felt a decent buzz with the one drink. It’s the food that was the issue- we waited for at least an hour for a to go order of mozzarella sticks. Once the food came out, we wanted to pay but our server was sitting down at a table smoking hookah. No issue- there wasn’t a huge crowd but we were ready to go. She was responsive to that and quickly came so we could pay. When we got back to the place we were staying- we realized there was no cheese in the mozzarella sticks. A disappointment for sure.

Total waste of 78 dollars. Burnt lobster tails and the seafood potato’s looks like dog food. I will never ever do this again. I’m so sick of Atlanta with all this over priced low value food. I paid 78 dollars for puppy chow and burnt seafood stuffed potatoes. 🤬

Lunchtime and first time. Ms. Deanna D was nice, pleasure and helpful. Also, she made a good Island Long and Sex on the Beach for my friend-girls. Let’s get into food. All I will say is hats off to the chef/those in the back. Friend-girl order the Chicken Quesadilla and I will say we both gave kudos to how well it was seasoned and you could taste all elements. Every bit was delicious. For me the Stuffed Potato, yes for the gods! It was delicious! Leftovers for sure. However, I don’t like seafood the day after because of the fishy taste, BUT it was delicious and I’m going to save some for later. This is really a shared dishes. Love it!

Man, let me tell you these are hands-down the cheapest and best-tasting seasonings that’ll make your mouth water instantly. From the first bite, I knew I was in for something special. My waiter, Tia, was on point the entire night, making the best food recommendations that had me grinning from ear to ear. And let’s not forget my bartender, Cocoa — shaking up the best margarita in the A, smooth and flavorful with just the right kick. The vibe here is unmatched. The DJ had the place lit, spinning all the right tracks right now I’m listening to Lucci as I’m writing this, and it’s the perfect soundtrack to this unforgettable meal. You can feel the energy from the moment you walk in, and it just makes the food taste even better. I was so impressed I had to order seconds just to take home for lunch tomorrow. When food is that good, you can’t walk away with just one plate. If you’re ever in the A, do yourself a favor and check this spot out. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed they’ve got flavor, vibes, and hospitality locked in.

I ordered a spinach dip and I just remember when I use to come and the bowl was a lil bigger. I can honestly call this new bowl a rip off, it’s so small and then the manger came out and said unfortunately it’s nothing i can do about that. Just be aware the spinach dip bowl is beyond small

I came here to eat and have drinks. We walked in string 11:20. Sat down and waited for about 20 mins, no waitress showed up. I had to get up she find her. She was sitting down eating at the bar. Finally got our drinks, cool. We finally order after having to tell her we are ready to order. She never came back initially to ask if we wanted to order food. We got our food and she forgot my silverware. Took Atleast 10 mins to get silverware. By that time for not even hot. I ordered seafood rice. Didn’t eat it because it ed took temperature and tasted disgusting. I made a complaint to waitress and she never took accountability. Just statef all sales are final. At that point i no longer want to spend any further money into thiis establishment. I won’t return to patronize

Decent enough food. Sweet potato fries were undercooked.

It’s easy to find. It’s one of the only sports bars in the area. The parking lot is behind the building I think they do valet after a certain time but we got there early enough to park ourselves parking seems limited so if you’re going on an event day definitely get there early. They have security at the door so be prepared to be checked nothing crazy though. The crowd was very calm when we first got there and we were able to get a booth. There’s a mix of booths and high tables. I would not suggest this place for families with younger kids it’s definitely a bar environment (think hooters or twin peaks). They also allow smoking hookah which you can order and have brought to the table. The drinks are a bit expensive we ended up getting a pitcher based off the servers recommendation I would recommend that as well especially if you’re with a party who plans on getting a few drinks we got about 4 full cups out of one pitcher. The food was great lots of seafood options mixed in with the usual bar options. They have TV’s playing the game and it’s a fun bar environment would definitely suggest for a fun adult night to watch a game with friends.

Not an upscale sports bar, but very good food drinks, and the music is good! Went here for a Falcons game, and the place was turned all the way up! Of course, the Falcons lost, but you know that's expected. They have good hookers, and the wings and sampler platter was amazing. They have a very good variety of food. So you can't go wrong. Parking is $20 across the street. Nyia. The bartender was amazing.

My friends and I went here after Rum Punch to watch the Mariners play. It was perfect for watching a sports game, typical sports bar vibes. The food was decently priced; however, it took a lot of time to get our server's attention to order extra stuff, especially once the Falcons' game came on and it got packed. Also, once it got packed, it got so smoky in there to the point where I left with a sore throat, and I wasn't smoking hookah or anything else while I was there. Lastly, there was a 20% auto gratuity here, and I honestly wouldn't have tipped 20% for the service that I received here. This is a practice that a lot of businesses in Atlanta do, and that's fine if you want to guarantee tips for your staff, but then the service needs to match. I can't say I will be back.

Didn't even eat anything. The music was loud, they had security and it seemed like everyone was in they own world. It seemed very busy even at 2am. Next time I pull up I'm gonna have a real 656 experience.

9-7-26 From my view , it's a first come first serve type of lounge.. but on this day for some reason , it was "just to let you guys know it's $100 table minimum".. today the falcons played the buccs. Mind you this is a lounge in the ghetto . I don't know who they think they are but it was a bit odd this day .. also my wife couldn't drink because she's pregnant..

Went here last night randomly. Glad I came because it was a really cool and laid back night. The shrimp basket and a 10 piece lemon pepper hot. But the star of my meal believe it or not was their fries. I can't believe I enjoyed those fries as much as I did. I wish I would've taken pictures but I couldn't have the energy lol. The drinks were good. The service was good I honestly can't complain. 10/10

It was just ok nothing to rave about People were really nice and friendly hi chicken wings were ok

I tried twice to give a fair chance and this just isn't my type of business. I want to rate higher because the food is actually really good. Nice flavors, portions, and prices. I tried the seafood potato, lobster tail, and fried ribs. The service isn't great. Lots of staff but no one seems to move with any sense of urgency. It's a simple bar that has potential but the music is so loud I can't hear myself talk. That's one of my top five turn offs with a bar/restaurant. I need to be able I hear the conversation I'm having. Here I felt like I was screaming to my friends just so they could hear me. I might do takeout but I don't care to go back again at all.

Poor customer service. Ghetto management. Waited 30 minutes for food. Flavors are there but served cold. Would have been ok even if luke warm. I inquired about getting food heated, management gave major attitude although wing bones are black (not from sauce). No plans on ever returning. Would not recommend!

Horrible experience! Walked in at 6:50p. At 6:58p, after seeing lots of staff walking around but no one approaching us, we asked the waitress sitting at the table beside us (w a customer smoking a hookah and drinking) if she could get our waitress, she said she would. She left for 2-3 minutes and came back saying she's our waitress. So it took 10 minutes to be acknowledged and have our drink order placed. She did not take our food order until 7:23pm. As soon as we placed our food order, she was back sitting down at the table beside us smoking a hookah. Aside from that, the pictures I posted is of their bartender, standing behind the bar drinking and eating a meal out of a Togo container which is a health code violation. She was also on her cellphone. I went and spoke to security at 7:56p. Finally at 8p our food came. Our waitress walked right past us and didn't ask if everything was okay nor if we needed anything.

Cool ambience, relaxed environment with people normal ages. They definitely let you live your best life in the place...has 20% gratuity

So let me start off with the positives. My friend and I got here early, so we were able to park in the small back lot. All the staff was friendly. The food was good - crab cakes had tons of flavor, egg rolls perfectly cooked, and the ratio of chicken to the salad was elite. HOWEVER... Hookah...good, but no one ever offered to change out our coals. Our hookah server was super nice, but she was sick...and I know tips are used, but something about starting the hookah while sick is a little off-putting. I don't blame her at all; apparently she was waiting for coverage, so that's on management. The main reason for one star is the bamboozlement that was the bill. We came right before happy hour was ending and out server let us know to order everything while we could to get the happy hour. I ordered all of my gin and clubs and we ordered all of our food. When we asked for our bill, it was $120...the drinks I ordered had happy hour applied, but that's it. So my friend went to ask about the applications of happy hour prices to the food and the server told her it was only for the drinks. That is NOT what we were told originally. If it was we would've probably ordered other non-happy hour items AND it makes no sense that drinks would have the discounted price and not the food. We didn't fight it...we just paid and left. My friend is only visiting, but I would never come back for that alone. Be advised there is also an 18% gratuity automatically added. And the hookah is $30...which to me...isn't worth it.

Service is slow but the food is delicious! I tried the fried lobster quesadilla and it was so good! They were heavy with the ingredients too so it was definitely worth the price. There was plenty of cheese and lots of lobster meat! I can't wait to try more of the menu!

Here for Birthday party. The service is super slow. I ordered the Seafood nachos and they were not as I expected. The fish was chopped up into small pieces and the nachos were salty. I had this dish here a couple of years ago, and it was good. Not sure of what is going on today. Someone else ordered the fried Lobster Tails and they looked good. I may try those next time. But they need to pick up the service here. I asked for a Cranberry juice three times.

Came here for lunch. Was sat quickly. Ordered drinks. Took about 10 minutes to get them. I was with 5 other ppl. We ordered food. I ordered the chicken tenders with a side of fries. Others ordered burgers, turkey ribs and lamb chops. About an hour later our food comes out. Everyone else's food look pretty damn good then I get my chicken tender plate. Smallest tenders I've ever seen and a small portion of fries and small bits and pieces of fries like from the bottom of the bag. Service was slow and they were not busy at all. This is the first place I think I've ever seen that only serves lemon sweet tea. You can't order tea without lemon. I ended up with water.

Sooo. We liked that they offered a lunch/happy hour menu, but what tickled us was pricing, not $6.56 but $8.56. We get it inflation, so you can't charge "$6.56" at this time...whatever...but the fact that nothing was even that price made me shake my head when we received the ticket. We know most restaurants are saying "inflation, inflation", but nothing that we ordered was priced right even though the manager tried to explain why and get frustrated while explaining something that didn't make sense. Today was a bust, as both this establishment and TDH next door have similar changes and issues. Not worth it. Look elsewhere. Gave an extra star because the drinks were good. Shout out to the bartender!

656 is your local urban spot with hookah, scantily clad waitress, loud music & bar food. The food is decent & the hookah is okay. Meaning price & flavor choices are adequate, but not the best in town. I was patted down heavily by the lady bouncer at the door. I believe she enjoys her job a great deal :-| I have been here several times over the years; the vibes are always there, but parking can be a headache once it gets late. Plenty people celebrate birthdays here, but for me its more of a grab a drink & go kinda spot. To each his own. If you are bougie, head elsewhere.

Had this for lunch. It was recommended by a coworker. I had he pork chop lunch. It was delicious, but the pork chop itself was sooo small. I could've used 2 of them. Fries were typical.

If you like horrible customer service and enjoy having to find somebody just so you can get your order taken after standing around for 10 or 15 minutes or so then this is the place for you. The staff when asked did even care about their Customer Service, looked me right in my face and said they could care less, and everyone has their own opinion. I usually order for delivery. I order Uber eats and went and picked it up this time, I will probably never walk into this restaurant again to spend my money. I'll just take my chances with delivery.

Bouie was our server!! The hookah was amazing. She was the best server her energy was amazing. We had wings and quesadillas. Will defiantly be back. We went during the day. The music play list was great, food came out quickly!!!

Had high expectations for this food based off of the photos alone but I'm lowkey disappointed. Ordered the salon and seafood fried rice. Rice was bland, and it didn't really give seafood 'fried rice' the only thing flavorful was the salmon and the salmon was really a 7/10. I love salmon

Lemon pepper wings are a staple at this place. Great drinks. Thanks to the bar tender Toni and Yas

The grilled chicken said SEASONED and it wasn't seasoned at all. The only thing I could taste was the char from the grill, & it was extremely dry. The spinach lacked seasoning as well. Broccoli was cooked well but could use salt as well. Overall I'd say add a pinch or two of salt or at least sprinkle a little on top after plating.

Customer Service was terrible, waitresses with attitudes. Took over an hour for hookah, tables that came after us got hookahs before us. 45+ minutes for drinks. Paying took over an hour + and things that weren't ordered people were charged for. For a big group they recommended a section (in a sports bar??) & the bottle prices were $317 & $256 for Hennessy & vodka...seriously?? In a sports bar?? Just go elsewhere

I've been wanting to come here for a while and always make the mistake of coming on a Falcons game day (PACKED). So I was excited to come on a Friday night to watch my college team play in the prime time spot. To enter you have to walk through a metal detector which I appreciated given the times we're living in. Security was cordial. We sat at the bar. When I arrived my date had already asked for one of the 10+ tvs to be changed to ESPN2. When I arrived he asked again. They came back and told us a manager had to do it. Cool. After about 15 mins we see a tv change to the guide but it was an attempt to play an MLB game that was out of network. For the rest of the night that tv just displayed the DIRECTV logo. Finally I ask someone else if the tv could be changed. She came back and said the next DJ had to do it and they didn't know when he was coming (whet?!). Ultimately- somebody lying. I find it hard to believe that it's THAT difficult to change to another sporting event at a SPORTS bar. On top of the fact that it's football season. The majority of the tvs were playing Blue Jays vs Rangers, two others had the US open on, and another playing some awards show. Again... we requested ESPN2 not some specific network like ACC or SEC. At this point I'm annoyed and we already paid $10 to park so we're committed to this establishment at this point- I end up turning the game on my phone and watching it that way. We ordered nachos and the crab burger (added cheese) with sweet potato fries. The nachos were meh. I enjoyed the crab burger and the sauce that comes on the side. The sweet potato fries were also good and come with a side of a Carmel dipping sauce. Ended up also ordering bbq wings which were also good. Hookah: I wanted to mix 3 flavors but the max is 2. The first bowl was just okay but I appreciate that they use natural charcoals instead of quick lights. My repack tasted much better and both bowls lasted a long time. Hookah is $30 and a repack is $18. Decent prices for the city. Music is 10/10. Our bartender was fairly attentive and continued to suggest shots. Once we got our $400 check we understood why LOL (we understood that we did damage and had hookah and a repack so no issues paying it). 20% Gratuity was applied automatically and then the receipt gave the option to give the gratuity amount that was already applied. Confusing. I'm sure some people have unintentionally double tipped. I got the alert from my bank once she swiped my card- that's the only reason I noticed that I had already paid it. Once the lights come on they get a bit aggressive kicking folks out. My date was in the bathroom at the time and said the attendant wouldn't let him get soap to wash his hands unless he paid then told him he had to go (lmao like what?!). In the future I'll go somewhere else to watch my teams play bc I don't want to risk being disappointed and annoyed again. Ultimately, I'd come back during the week to check out their specials. I suggest using rideshare to get there (parking is limited and range from $10-20).

I can't comment on anything but the atmosphere. When I went to visit I was under the weather so I didn't get any food or drinks. I still enjoyed the customer service, and the music choices. Me being fairly new here I was a little concerned on the bulletproof vest and metal detectors but I'll still come back

This is the worst place ever to make a food order. Ordered a Cali-Chicken waited for 45 minutes. Only to served a burnt nugget of a chicken. Fries were cold and oily. The second try wasn't any better, burnt fries and the Cali-Chicken was just a pickle sandwich with half of a wilted tomato and lettuce. The only thing was good was the server apologizing for the poor cooks effort and mistreatment of the food. "NO REFUNDS FOR ORDERS" even if you have not touched the food.

Smoke friendly. There's also a lot of tvs in here to watch sports games. There's not much standing room so first come first serve on seating. Music was good but the service was super slow ordering food and drinks.

Great spot to check out for drinks, hookah, and music. The vibe was good!!! I was disappointed with the food I had a lobster po'boy. I found it to be overly seasoned the fries were good I also had the crab parmesan dip which was good but was cold. I would go back for drinks I had a Bob Marley which was great.

Food is decent service is horrible they will make you wait hours not a hour but hours for your food , if you don't mind waiting a day later for your food good ahead

Was very disappointed in my order today food looked nothing like the picture there was no sauce on my salmon rice was hard just totally unsatisfied eat here before and the food was actually good I don't know what happened tonight but I am so disappointed

This place is located near downtown Atlanta, near I-85 and the old Braves Stadium. It has very limited free parking so be aware. The music is hip hop and RnB mostly. Cool vibe overall. It offers great food, full bar and hookahs. The philly chicken with fries is my personal favorite. Most, if not all of the food is pretty good though. The prices are somewhat reasonable. The waitresses are cute but some have attitudes. This spot is a go-to especially during football season. It has multiple large screen tvs from many angles. Make sure you get a drink from the bar.

My experience was horrible and I am so upset as I was really hoping that the reviews I had read weren't true. However, now I know they are. The Good: The ambiance is very casual. The establishment was very clean and the security guard at the door was very pleasant. The Real: The music was at 1000. We could barely hear our thoughts. We arrived at 6:49 pm EST and was told it was turning into club hours so we had to be searched. (Safety first, I guess!) Upon walking in, the sign said to seat yourself. We sat at a booth. 24 minutes later my colleague had to chase down a waitress who finally gave us some menus and said she would send us a waitress. When our waitress finally comes, she is so nice. Very pleasant demeanor. Very knowledgeable about the menu and takes the time to give us her suggestions. Upon taking our drink order, it took 7 minutes to get a Ginger Ale and Heineken. Then upon placing our food order, it took FOREVER. I decided to add an order of Onion Rings to my order. 25 minutes after doing that and no waitress coming back to check on us, I waved down another waitress and asked her to check on the onion rings for me. They were finally bought to me and they were cold. This was a very perplexing visit. I am very disappointed with the service. The food was average at best. My suggestions: Great place to go if you plan to sit at the bar or in the bar area and watch the game.

Decided to come here with my friend because we wanted food and hookah and honestly I think this was a great spot to try out. We got there around 9:30ish and luckily we did because otherwise we would have been waiting around for a while for table to open up, but the vibe was very chilled, the DJ was good, the drinks were straight, and the seafood macaroni was BOMB. There are lot of TV screens if you want to want to catch a sports game or fight. Personally if you are concerned about social distancing this is not the best spot for you, UNLESS you get lucky enough to get a booth because as the night went on the place started to get a little bit crowded. But our server was so cool and she was definitely on top of everything despite the amount of people that were in there. Reading some of the other reviews I am kind of surprised what other people had to say about this place because my experience was not bad at all, and I went during Valentine's Day weekend. But with the type of experience I had I would recommend other people to try this place out and I would definitely go back again ESPECIALLY for the seafood macaroni.

As a Yelper, I was completely hesitant about this place. But my friend, who is a local, insisted the food was actually good and the service was the weak point here. When we arrived, we were not greeted by any staff but we found a table to sit. A waitress quickly came over and brought us menus. From that point on, we received really good service. We could tell this must be a point of emphasis for management now. In fact, one of the managers came around later asking us about our service and asked us to complete a survey. I can tell some of the wait staff is still struggling with good service, but our particular waitress was good. The food at this place would make you deal with even so so service. We had the cajun pasta and loaded baked potatoes and they were amazing. I would frequent this place just for those two dishes alone. The drinks were also super strong and you get your monies worth. The biggest knock on this place was it was way too loud. They play music, which is cool, but you can't even hear your waitress or your friends during dinner. That was quite annoying.

Came on Wednesday for karaoke drinks were strong and food was really good. I got the crab cake burger and the seafood mac and cheese lets just say heave on the seafood everything. I would come back. Tonight was chill but i hear it usually lit. I would say a good thing pre game before the club or a chill/fun night out during the week

I really didn't want to go here. Hey my service was everything drinks are strong as hell omg hookah was good I really had a good time period. Tobacco free in the club but u can smoke. Cool vibe I'm on tic toc and the screen tv I'm coming on a Sunday for sure definitely the DJ was popping go check this out fr fr

My sisters food saved this review, get the seafood baked potato! My wings were wrong and underwhelming plus my ranch wasn't in my bag. But my sisters seafood baked potato was delicious! So I helped her eat it

Parking is trash. Buttttttt it's a vibe. You can smoke in there. Sssshhhhh don't tell anyone though. The food is good. Sometimes it can take awhile because it's literally like a club/restaurant. I recommend them though. Not for a date but to kick it with your homies and grab some good food. The crab burger is good, the wings are good. During the day they have lunch specials for $6.56

Ordered through the postmates app for pickup, gave myself enough time to get here in time so that my food wouldn't be cold. I got the notification on the app that my order was ready, so I found street parking and went to try and pick it up, only to be told that it would be a few more minutes. About 15 more minutes went by before I had to check again and confirm it was finally ready. For the price and flavor of the lamb chop combo, this really can't be beaten. Prob best to go in person, catch a vibe.

The waitress was very nice. The food took over an hour to arrive at the table. I ordered a drink with no liquor and was charged full price as if I ordered an alcoholic beverage. When asked, the waitress explained it was because of the sour mix made for the drink. Empty cups stayed on the table long after the drinks were consumed. Once the food finally arrived, the waitress only took away some, not all of the cups. The music was too loud. There is street parking and lot parking next door.

Great spot to watch the game, listen to music, smoke, fuk wit hoes and have a good ass time. If you know, you know!

Love this bar, love the sports environment mixed with the music during commercials of big games. Love the menu options and drink options. The only reason it's getting 3 stars is because sometimes the service is lacking. Also depends on which cook is cooking , you could order the same dish and it come out two different ways.

I'm currently here NOW and the 6/25/2021. The food is delicious the margarita pitcher is giving me life but the overall service is terrible. I have the privilege of having Allyhia as my server great personality attentive and very professional. However the night shift started at 7 and the waitress arriving could careless about the establishment they're standing around drinking Red Bull chatting and not tending to your patrons. Personally the outfits are cute but the services is below average. FYI YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'SCOMING IN....FOOD BLOGGER, FOOD CRITICS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OR EVERYDAY PEOPLE. Your in a prime spot and black owned as a suggestion retrain the waitress and improve on the wait time for food a drinks the entire time your open I promise you'll see a drastic change.

I will be back for lunch! Who knew?! Their lunch is $6.56 (Cuh-oot!) and the lunch menu has a lot of items to choose. I had the whiting sandwich and ordered the seafood macaroni (it's big enough for an entree). Note: the macaroni is not on the lunch menu but it's worth it. Listen, I'm greedy and I couldn't eat it all. It comes with fries. Thick home cut fries like the kind your mama would make when you were little. I normally eat my fries first but couldn't (a first). But at any rate the food was great and the service was excellent! S/o to Toya whom I think was training the other waitresses but didn't miss a beat with us! Please tell her thank you. Good service is hard to find. Also, they have their own parking that's free

Great service from a few servers but they do not deliver on sporting events after requesting TVs be changed. Nobody knows the menu well to suggest food options

Atmosphere is good, music is good but the kitchen is the slowest in the history of kitchens. It took over an hour and a half before I had to cancel the taco order. taco Tuesday and a taco couldnt make it to the table in almost an hour and a half. Come here already fed.

We stopped by for lunch. The service and food were good. The cocktails were made well. Mr. Charles was extremely nice.

This is my Sunday spot great food perfect customer service even tho they need more free parking but my server DEJA ‼‼is great she is very knowledgeable of the menu she checks on her customer and make sure they have a great time .. when u come ask for DEJA

Friday nights! Good drinks and hookah.Great food. Cheap prices. LIVE atmosphere with band/singers and dj. Friday nights are FUN! Live band and singers were awesome and the dj played great old school music that made us get out of our seats and dance or sing along the entire night! The lady can SANG. They are very entertaining and interact with the crowd to get requests as well. Family and friends of about 15 came here on a Friday night to celebrate my cousin's masters program and fellowship and we had an amazingly fun time! The crowd is about 30 and up on Fridays but I'm 25 and my cousin and her friends are younger than me but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! It was a nice atmosphere for all of us (my siblings, cousins, aunt, grandma, mother, and others). Yes all ages were turnt lol. Now about this food! YUMMY! Although I've had turkey ribs before, my family hadn't even heard about turkey ribs so they tried them and were amazed! The turkey ribs were so tender and seasoned well. The seafood Mac and cheese is very good! Fried lobster tails are fried beautifully and a nice size! The 656 wings were my favorite(sweet chili sauce). The food was cheap and the drinks were potent. We liked the strawberry margarita hookah too. I recommended 656 to my cousin because I figured it would be a step up from 255 (where she originally wanted to go) and it definitely was. We all had a ball! Will definitely be back on a Friday. Will probably be my new chill spot.
