The General Muir (Sandy Springs)

Overall: A great casual breakfast or lunch option in Sandy Springs, but be prepared to wait. The good: The food and drinks are fantastic. Started with a lavender latte, which I don't typically indulge in, and it did not disappoint. Strong hints of lavender without being overwhelming, and definitely perked me up. We split a reuben and a chicken club so that we could try multiple things, and since the sandwiches are so large. Tons of flavor, with crispy and crunchy bread that still had that "fresh" feeling to it. The delicatessen meats were delicious and authentic. The fries were also a good addition to share. The not-so-good: The service took a long time throughout the entire experience, from ordering to waiting for our food to waiting for the check. Prices are on the higher end of what you'd expect. No umbrellas for outdoor seating, so you better bring your shades and sunscreen for a hot summer day. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 7/10

Edit: As of my last visit on 9/11 they are no longer adding a service charge to dine in orders. The food is as excellent as ever… So glad they opened a General Muir right across the street from me. Their bagels are huge and piled high with schmear and fish. Their pastrami and liver sandwich on rye is fantastic and the tuna salad is one of my favorites. The portion they give for an order of poutine could easily be shared between four people and the gravy and cheese curds are perfect. Honestly I’ve never had anything bad here. Huge outdoor patio (8 or so 4+ person tables) and a fairly large bar and indoor dining room too. They also do counter service takeout. Just an FYI if you dine in they add a 20% service charge regardless of party size.

Quality is my first impression. Every item I have tried is made with the most quality ingredients you could expect. The tastes are refined and delicious. Add to this that portions are on the healthy side and you will walk away full and happy. I order corn chowder and a roast beef sandwich 🥪. Needless to say, I would have been satisfied with just the chowder. When my sandwich arrived, I was thinking how am I going to eat this. The matzo ball soup is great. Burgers 🍔 are ridiculously good. Beers 🍻 are nice and ice cold. Everything is delivered with care. The one thing I want to go back for is breakfast. I can only imagine how unbelievable that must be. Service can add or detract from a good dining experience. Our server was polite and on point with her service. There is nothing I can say that isn't good about The General Muir. The place is comfortable, service great and the food wonderful. What more can you ask for?

Jewish deli inspired restaurant. Reuben sandwich done right, Russian dressing not thousand island. Bagel sandwiches are wonderful. Parking in area can be hard at times.

Lovely deli! Love their story which is displayed on the walls. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Great Kosher options and excellent bagel combinations. Really enjoyed our time here and will definitely come Back. Highly recommend The General Muir. There are two locations as well!

My team did a team building brunch here and we all enjoyed it. It's quiet enough to have a conversation and I love the interior design. I ordered the matcha blueberry drink and it was great, tasted like a muffin.

I would have gone for something with a bagel or French toast but I would have had to hear my disciplined and nutrition knowledgeable wife remind me how unhealthy they are, lol. So yes, I get a veggie omelette with toast but it was delicious and nice and moist. Don’t you hate it when your significant other is right? I got the build your own with Boursin cheese but I would go with Swiss cheese next time. I like Boursin but it just didn’t work with the omelette.

We have a contender for the BEST burger in Georgia. If you remember how H&F used to be, this is even BETTER!!! Try it, you'll love it. And to continue the BEST of... The cinnamon roll tastes like the way my Grandma used to make them. It's really good. And if you like Cheesecake, Cheesecake Factory has nothing on the Cheesecake here. I'm pretty happy that we have this place in Sandy Springs now!!!
