Toast on Lenox

Food is always on point here! Most recently I got the salmon and grits and added fried shrimp. Delicious and large portion size. Wait times are pretty long with no reservation, but that is to be expected. My only concern is that there is a 60 min table limit that isn't enforced so there were people literally at their tables talkikg for 30-45 after they were done eating. The server should announce this at the onset of the meal and then remind maybe 15 minutes prior to the time limit being up (on weekends at least). Other than that the service is great and I will be back.

Despite the food's appealing presentation, it was underwhelming, and the waiter’s unprofessional demeanor created a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. The service at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, primarily due to the waiter’s poor attitude. From the start, they were inattentive, barely acknowledging our table and making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. They were slow to take our order, seemed annoyed when we asked questions, and disappeared for long stretches of time. When they did return, their demeanor was rude and dismissive, as if they couldn’t be bothered. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone unless they seriously improve their staff’s attitude and attentiveness. One disappointing meal might suggest I should try something different, but the waiter’s attitude and the overall culture of the establishment need serious improvement.

I recently visited this location. I was not pleased with my experience. I was seated outside. I was told that a heat lamp could be used should I get cold. I requested it and never received heat. I made a reservation, but I did not request outside seating. It took 20 mins to get drinks. The waitress that was assigned to my table had to be physically located twice for condiments etc. The waitress admitting completely forgetting about my table. Meanwhile, several workers were standing around visibly doing nothing. One young lady with red hair, and a young man with a wing tattoo on his neck, and a spider web tattoo on his elbow. They could be seen literally on their phones doing nothing to assist those that were waiting. I have frequented the Buckhead location several times. I wanted to switch it up this time. Needless to say, this location did not meet the mark. To be billed 18% service charge is unfair when I’m not receiving stellar service. There is no drive to provide me with exceptional service when you know you will be tipped regardless. I pride myself on being a big tipper, but I do not care to reward mediocre service. There was one young lady that did grab a few things that I needed that was not assigned to my table. Aside from the mandatory 18% I felt it was only right to bless this young lady with a cash tip before leaving as she went out of her way to assist me. I will not visit this location again. The food was 10/10, but the service was 0.

Went for a Galentine’s brunch with my girls. First time here besides the small space, the food was actually really good. I ordered the Oreo French Toast, Hot Honey Catfish, and the Crab Cakes. I had to test it all. Nothing was cold, everything was the right temperature to eat. Also order the “I Dusee” cocktail, it was tasty but a bit overpriced. Overall, nice restaurant.

Amazing food with very fast preparation. Favorite dish was the crab cakes. Will definitely be back. I recommend having a reservation, wait times are very long. Will not seat your party unless everyone has arrived. Only parking available is valet.

First time here, my best friend and I came on a Sunday and sat at the bar. We were served by Kayla, she was nothing but amazing from her smile, customer service and energy! When I come back I’ll be looking for her!!! I’m definitely bringing my sister so I can come back and order the sweet potato waffle and lobster tail definitely a 10/10, also they had the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had!!! The entire experience was a 12/10

First time visiting ATL and this is a definitely a place everyone should come to! Food is amazing, great hospitality and our server Diamond was very knowledgeable and warming when tending to us. Place is also aesthetically pleasing for all the contact creators out there! 10 out of 10!

Nice, clean restaurant. No reservations, so we had a 30 min wait. Service was ok, but not bad. Had to flag our server down a couple times. My friend and I both ordered the chicken, yams and collards. She had a nice serving of collard and my plate looked like they had to scrape the bottom of the pot. I brought it to the server’s attention and she brought out a side of collards for me. Nice vibe going on. Good was just ok, unfortunately. Collards were way too vinegary. The hot honey chicken was just hot! There was no honey to be found in the flavor!

Very accommodating, server was good, food was hot, prompt, and quick. Even with the short staff you wouldn't even know how smooth Kristina has this place running. She is a great manager. I give her 10 stars!!! We need people like her in the food industry. Great job Toast!!! A Toast to you!!!​

So glad we had an earlier reservation at Toast on Lenox, as we saw the restaurant get busier as the morning went on. Parking is limited on the street, and since it's a residential area, they advised parking a little farther down for safety, which was helpful. The service was excellent--our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. I tried the mimosa flight and loved it, while my husband had the chicken and waffles and couldn't stop raving about it. I had the catfish and grits, and it was absolutely amazing! Overall, a great brunch spot with delicious food, great drinks, and top-tier service. I'd definitely return!

Food was great, service was average and wait time was excellent. We came here for Sunday brunch without a reservation, front hostess staff was a bit uninterested but they communicated the wait time would be about 45 mins. Luckily that turned out to be 15 minutes. We were seated at the bar and the service there was excellent. For appetizers we had the seafood dip, which had lots of meat but was a small portion. For entrees we had the shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and a side of the biscuits and gravy. Everything was amazing especially the waffles, except for the chicken gravy on the biscuits. It was a bit salty. Excellent price point, great music and decor for the environment. Will be back. Also please fix the front door. It slams with every opening.

Food 4/5 If you're a Brussels sprouts fan like me you'll smile after every bite. I normally get the sauces on the side. The wings that come with the chicken and waffles are crunchy and well seasoned. The lobster was too salty. I was disappointed because it looked so good. The waffles weren't as crispy as I like but the flavor was there. Drinks 5/5 Whether you get the mimosa flight (tons of different flavors) or a cocktail, the bartenders know what they're doing. Service 5/5 I appreciate an honest waiter. Most of them are pretty chilled. This place is one of the best brunch spots in Atlanta. Side bar- please clean your rag or mop properly. This is the 2nd time the place smelled initially when I walked in.

FYI.... your whole party has to be there before you can be seated. We were greeted immediately upon entering. They have the cute grass wall to take pics and a couple seats if you have to wait on your party. It's a small space but a nice ambiance. They gave a crazy reservation time of 4pm with the kitchen closing at 4:30, knowing they close at 5pm. Though we felt slightly rushed our server was still very polite. I wasn't hungry, hungry because I had ate earlier. I did order there Ga. Honey Hot Fried Chicken but I tasted everyone else's food and everything was amazing!!! On the table we had Crab Cakes, Seafood Gumbo, Brussel sprouts, Lobster Sweet Potato Waffle, and Blackened Salmon. Top tier around the table...yummy!! And my drink was nice!! There was something floating in my first drink, so I walked it over to the bar and not sure if her attitude was because of the time or what but she was not giving the best attitude, though she made another one...the other bartender walked out the back and asked did I need something and I told her my drink had something in it, she was like it's cool I see it and we'll get you another. They have two restrooms that are unisex but it was clean and spacious. I definitely would recommend because I'll sure be going back, just don't except the 4pm spot....you may not get the best energy from the staff lol. Oh yeah they do have a patio area.

Taste: The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the catfish and grits, seafood dip, and short ribs with eggs. Every dish was well-seasoned and came in generous portions. The custom mimosas were also a hit--perfectly refreshing. Service: The service was top-notch. Although we had to wait about 20 minutes for a seat at the bar, it was worth it. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had a great experience. Ambiance: Toast on Lenox offers a chill and cozy vibe, perfect for family and friends. This isn't your typical turn-up brunch spot but rather a place to enjoy good food and great company in a relaxed atmosphere. Recommendation: Definitely worth the visit! Come for the fantastic food, excellent service, and laid-back environment. Make sure to arrive early or be prepared for a short wait--it's a popular spot for a reason!

Yummy! Classic brunch place in atlanta. QR code menu has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. Full bar Got the shrimp and grits (delicious w jumbo shrimp), kale salad (creamy with parm crisps), and fried cat fish with grits (creamy but was salty). I thought the service was soooo slow. Not a cute restaurant but can be reserved thru the website. I need to try the buckhead location. Barney's is better.

Toast on Lenox is definitely a sought after brunch restaurant in Atlanta. I honestly have personally never been able to secure a reservation here myself but usually my friends or somebody else is able to do it for me. Definitely get a reservation though. The food here was good. I wouldn't say amazing but it was good for sure. The ambience is nice. It definitely is a classy slightly lit brunch. You very well may have to wait if you don't have a reservation because this place is always packed, so definitely be prepared for that, but I do remember the service being good and the people working there were friendly.

Clean and welcoming spot with a friendly and well-informed staff--definitely a nice first impression! However, I wasn't thrilled about the automatic 18% gratuity on takeout, especially with no option to return food or drinks. It feels a bit intense, but I get that it's becoming a trend at newer Atlanta eateries. My advice? Dine in to get the full experience (and your money's worth). As for the food, we ordered the catfish and grits, with a side of grilled shrimp. The flavors delivered, and the texture was on point--crispy where it needed to be. One of the nice things I like that they offer with their own hot sauces and pancake mix that you can buy to take home!

Great food. Amazing experience. Mike our server was fantastic. The ambiance was great. Food came out fast and tasted fantastic. We had a large group and our food came out super fast. Highly recommend as a great brunch spot in ATL

I really loved the vibe of this place, and the service was fast and attentive. I had the gumbo and catfish with grits, and we also tried the seafood dip as an appetizer--it was so delicious, we went back the next day to have it again! I'll definitely be stopping by next time I'm in town. Plus, since we were there on New Year's Day, they gave us complimentary champagne for a toast to the new year!

Stopped in for a Sunday brunch for 2 around 1PM. We did have a reservation and we were quickly seated at the bar! Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly! On to the food: it was delicious!! We both really enjoyed the Cajun Seafood Dip and Garlic Bread. We also both really enjoyed our entrees! The ambiance was very cute and aesthetically pleasing with lots photographable areas. We will definitely be back after we check out the second location! Thanks Toast on Lenox!

My overall experience was top notch! We went early so there was no wait but as we left, the brunch crowd was rolling in. My meal was excellent. The portion size was great and the hot honey chicken was well flavored! Not the star of my meal was the GREENS!!! Those collards were so good I ordered some to go. I had a wellness flight because I wasn't drinking however they do have Mimosa and margarita flights. My server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The whole vibe of the place is 10/10. I will be returning!

I did end up enjoying my birthday brunch with my family and friends , but the wait for my reservation that I booked ahead of time was ridiculous, including dealing with some unprofessional staff. We waited over an hour to be seated. The food did make up for it and the manager did add some drinks on the house after I went to her about that being an inconvenience to all of us. Some of the staff were being unprofessional in the beginning, bc of all the busyness that was going on at one time ;with walk-ins and my party waiting to be seated for our reservation. I was irritated initially, but stayed bc we were all hungry and had already waited at-least 45 mins at this point. I definitely will not reserve for a party over 3 in the future with them because they did not reserve that time for us efficiently. Small parties 2 & 3 were being seated quick. The food is great, and the service is decent!

While visiting Atlanta, my cousins and I had Toast on Lenox at the top of our bucket list of brunch spots. We originally wanted to go to the Buckhead location but they were unexpectedly closed due to some kind of (utility/water?) issue, so we quickly made our way to the Midtown location instead. One quick note -- the parking at the Buckhead location is a lot easier because it's in a shopping plaza. The Midtown location has valet parking across the street. We didn't make reservations because we aimed to get to the restaurant right at opening (on Saturday). But even after having to drive to the Midtown location, our group of four was quickly seated. I ordered the breakfast burrito which comes with truffle tater tots. I thought the burrito was a little small but it was delicious. We also ordered mocktails. They took a long time to be served but were surprisingly good too -- flavorful, refreshing, and beautifully crafted. Another star of our brunch was the ricotta pancakes. 10/10 for those, no notes. The cost of our meal was pricey but the quality of the food was excellent overall.

While looking for parking, I passed the restaurant without noticing the sign for parking in the lot next to Spice House. Parking is $10 whether you valet or self park. It's a short walk to Toast on Lenox from the lot; there happened to be construction on the sidewalk the Friday afternoon I went for brunch. I walked in and we were told the wait would be 45 minutes. We figured why not wait since we got through traffic and just paid for parking. They were busy but luckily we were seated after using the restroom (FYI: only two stalls, had to wait a few minutes). The ambiance is nice! Indoor and outdoor seating options, great music, nice decor. Plenty of drink options, though kinda pricey. I tried the Hennessy sangria, which came in a small stemless glass--wasn't worth $24 imo. The expresso martini was good. The food was great! I got the salmon and grits with the crawfish sauce; I inquired about getting this option with fried salmon, but they only serve the salmon grilled. Mac n cheese pretty good as well. My out of town guest enjoyed her food too. The busboys were really quick to clear our table, no worries there and nice service (especially considering automatic gratuity). Here's what to expect: cutesy restaurant, pretty good service, overpriced drinks, and delicious food!

We had reservations for Saturday afternoon, which are definitely needed! Valet parking is nearby for $10. Street parking is scarce. Took about 20 minutes after our reservation time for our party of 3 to get seated. Dining room was crowded along with the waiting area. Beautiful interior, bright and airy but smaller space. There is also a patio. . Our waitress came over and took drink orders after we had a few minutes to peruse the digital menu. I will say that all the staff members were very friendly and engaged. From the management, the hosts, to servers at nearby tables everyone spoke and were smiling and happy. Even the food runners chatted as the brought out or removed plates. There are several rules from how long you can be seated (one hour) to automatic gratuities and checks. Our food and drinks took a minute to come out likely because the were so busy, so only having an hour at the table felt rushed. Food was a bit pricey but not surprising for midtown. Food was delicious and well prepared. Ricotta pancakes light and fluffy. The catfish and grits had a delicious creme sauce.. We also each had a mimosa flight which was presented on a cool metal tower. The flight had four glasses and there are several flavors to choose from. Initially I thought the wait staff was so efficient at clearing tables but later realized it's because they're trying to turn the tables so quickly. As soon as we finished our food, we were asked if we wanted to cash out. .We settled the check and as we were trying to finish our drinks, the host came over and politely told us we needed to vacate the table. Overall it was a nice experience but likely might not go back for unless the table times get extended a bit.

I'm here to offer a completely honest review of my experience. There's street parking or a valet parking lot across that street which is convenient. I initially thought this spot would be overrated based on my experiences, BUT, I'm happy I didn't allow that to keep me away! We got up early to do a walk in and we were sat within 15-20mins. Nice!! But, I'd recommend securing a reservation. The service was great! I enjoyed observing the employees have camaraderie. The Food! Lmaooo I forgot to take photos of our main entrees. We both got the "Georgia Honey Hot Fried Chicken" 5/5 sided w/ collard greens and candied yams! Omg everything was soooo good! The chicken wings were crispy even tossed in that delicious ass hot honey sauce. We had fresh watermelon juice and water to drink! Oh! I got a side of Mac and cheese which I do have a photo of. Too much cheese for me and I'd prefer the traditional way of baked Mac. The flavor was good though. At the end of the day, I'll start my day there any day! Looking forward to heading back to Toast tomorrow. El oh el.

I recently took my mom to Toast on Lenox for breakfast, and we had a wonderful experience! Even though we came without a reservation, we were seated within 20 minutes, which was great for a busy spot. I wanted something light and went with the salmon bagel, while we also decided to split the lobster and sweet potato waffle. The green juice I ordered was refreshing and full of flavor--highly recommend it if you're into healthy drinks! While the salmon bagel was decent, the real star was the lobster and sweet potato waffle--it was absolutely amazing! Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, it really stood out.

I really do not understand the hype. Very small, very expensive, very unimpressive. The food is just ok. The drinks are just ok. The service is just OK. It's extremely tight and small in there. There really are so many places in Atlanta you can go for brunch. I would not recommend Toast on that list. At this point, you're going for vibes and hype. And the vibes weren't giving either, so hype. Not for me.

Vivian got our day started off great. Amazing bartender. Restaurant was super cute too.

This place has a lot of hype behind it, and in all my years of visiting ATL, finally got a chance to stop by. It was a Saturday morning shortly after opening, reservation for two. Parking is a half block down and costs $10 or $11 I cant remember exactly. Short walk to the restaurant. We were seated right away and our server came over and took our order. She was very friendly and checked on us often. I personally had the catfish and grits with the crawfish sauce. It was very good I have to admit. Feedback on the chicken and waffles was that it was okay, nothing special. 18% standard gratuity. Now that I have checked this place off of my list, I probably wont visit again. There is nothing spectacular that just screams "come back". But the food and service were good, I have no complaints about this place.

Food came out cold. I mean seriously cold. I brought it to their attention and they just microwaved it. Eggs weren't seasoned. Shrimp and grits are a complete pass. I did enjoy the strawberry French toast. While it wasn't hot, all the other elements were spot on. The place has a great ambiance and staff was very nice! I just wished the food matched.

This is one of most popular brunches in Atlanta for good reason! shrimp &Grits: It was delicious! 10/10 Flavorful, good sized shrimp, large portion of grits. The sauce could be thicker but, overall will definitely order again. I added eggs on the side, $5 for two. Lychee Pearl 10/10 It was perfect! The vibes were on point! I met a few people sitting at the bar. There was a line, no rsvp just walk ins. Parking: There's a lot a block away next to spice house that was $10 cash only.

We went here in May. Definitely make reservations if you are wanting to go. We waited for almost two hours but it was definitely worth it. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was great. I never had fried lobster that was seasoned and tender. The restaurant itself was nice and upbeat. It wasn't too loud and we were able to have table conversations. Will go back for sure.

There is one thing of which there is absolutely no shortage of in the city of Atlanta. Referring to Fried Chicken of course. Thus, bringing another preparation of it to the market is no small feat with staples like Silver Skillet almost next door. As the second location of Toast on Lenox, it rose to substantial popularity in no time. Tamara Young and Virgil Harper run the 3 Atlanta restaurants and having opened the first one just a few years ago, it's great to see the success that they achieved. So, what about those fried chicken wings? A fairly thick and crispy batter that's a bit on the tougher side. A preparation for a certain taste. The chicken wings themselves are about the size that a chicken leg should be. In other words, not the size that should exist on a normal healthy chicken from a real farm. As a result, the chicken has very little flavor to it, most of which comes from the pepper in the batter itself. The side of potatoes was prepared well and the best thing is perhaps the service at the bar, with a very kind waitress. There is a pleasant outdoor patio as well. One recommendation would be for the restaurant to replace those plastic fake plants with real ones outdoors, we certainly don't need more plastic laying around.

Saturday brunch experience was really good. While we had reservations, there was a slight wait. However, this brief wait was worth the wait. The service was great and we sat outside which was clean and good ambiance. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, offering insightful recommendations that perfectly aligned with our preferences. The Brussel sprouts appetizer were full of flavor. The French toast, a classic brunch indulgence, was well executed, and good balance of sweetness and texture. The fish and grits were creamy and seasoned perfectly. It was evident that the kitchen prioritizes fresh and crafts dishes made-to-order rather than relying on pre-made components (like some other brunch places I've been to). If you're looking for a brunch place make sure to try this out. Just be sure to secure a reservation beforehand, as their popularity speaks for itself!

I don't understand the hype, however perhaps I ordered the wrong items? The Brussels sprouts were just ok, but the texture was perfect. The greens were not good at all and the eggs didn't have any flavor. The biscuits everyone raves about are not good- super dry. The veggie sausage was pretty good though. I was told the breakfast sandwich was excellent. The servers were very kind but we felt a little rushed at the end. The decor is nice, but I definitely want to check out the Buckhead location. Make sure you pay attention to parking at this location! They will tow/put a boot on your car.

The food was really good as was the service. We loved our server Destiny who was very attentive and had great recommendations. I took a star off bc the drinks are way overpriced. 2 drinks for $50 is a scam and they weren't bad but def not good enough to justify the price tag. It's pretty busy today and it's a Saturday. Luckily we had reservations. So if you can make reservations on the weekend I would recommend it.

Got to visit on a warm Saturday. I had seen a lot of different TikToks recommending this place for Brunch. Reservations are crucial. I made one about 2 weeks in advance and there was definitely a lot of people waiting without one. I was seated outside and attended to very quickly. The outdoor area gave a vacation vibe, I was really into it. I ordered a lychee mimosa to start which was delivered quickly and delicious. I was indecisive about food but opted for the chicken and waffles by recommendation of the waitress. Not my usual pick but it was sooo good! The chicken was fried and seasoned beautifully. The waffle was tasty too; pretty sweet but no unbearable. The beef skillet was also good and juicy. Overall I enjoyed my brunch and would eat here again.

This is my second time visiting Toast on Lenox but my first time at this location. One thing you need to know before coming here is that you can expect to valet your car (which is $10 cash or $11 if you are doing CashApp). There is no street parking nearby; if you do by some miracle find street parking, you will definitely be walking a little ways. I came on a Friday morning around 10:30am. Upon entering, I was asked if I had a reservation. I didn't but luckily that didn't stop us from being seated immediately. With that said, I recommend making reservations because it could be hit or miss, crowd wise. Although we were seated immediately, I noticed that the restaurant was pretty much full. Food: I ordered the Lenox Ave Breakfast, which is customizable. My picks were scrambled eggs, veggie sausage and collard greens - this meal also comes with a honey buttered biscuit. The collard greens (which have smoked turkey) were my favorite part of the meal. I don't usually like "vinegary" greens but they didn't overdo it. And that biscuit was everything! Hubs wanted fish and grits but didn't want anything fried so they let him sub out fried fish for salmon. I tried his food and the crawfish sauce that comes on the grits is SO GOOD! As far as drinks, we just wanted water but were asked if we wanted bottled, as the tap water is not filtered. We ordered bottled water (which to our delight was alkaline). Plain and simple - the food is 10/10!! I felt this way about the other location, too, so I guess they're pretty consistent across the board. Service: The hostess was polite and, as mentioned earlier, seated us promptly. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive. No complaints here! Cons: a) Automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. It's not that our waitress didn't deserve it but what if she sucked, right ??? I hate this new trend of automatic gratuity (for parties less than 5 or 6) but whatever. b) Having to valet park my car on a Friday morning is kind of annoying but I can understand based on this location. And the fact that it's $10 didn't exactly make me smile. c) Wasn't expecting to have to order bottled water. Overall, I would still recommend this restaurant. It's definitely one of those Atlanta "must-go" spots, especially for out-of-towners.

Fast seating service by the hostess and wait staff. Great customer service and food was excellent.

Came here with a big group. It was packed!!! Our waitress was funny & cool. She was patient with us and gave us suggestions. I just got eggs, bacon, and potatoes and it was pretty decent. I also tried my friend's açaí bowl which wasn't that good -- tasted like it had yogurt in it, which was different. The drinks are strongggg, I got an espresso martini but it had a little too much baileys for my liking. Overall, my food was pretty good & service was good.

We had a fantastic experience at TOAST, thanks to our server, Amani! She was incredibly polite, sweet, and attentive. Her service was fast, and she made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. She truly made our dining experience enjoyable with her kindness and professionalism. We'll definitely be back, and we hope to have Amani as our server again! Highly recommend!

My friends and I had a great experience. We never come to Atalanta and not stop by this establishment. Today, we had a 2:00 reservation. Despite it being crowded due to Usher being in town, we were seated within 10 minutes. We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees and cocktails. Thanks to our server NESS, everything was perfect. I mean seriously, the lemon drop flight-- yummy. The Cajun seafood dip, the crab cake and the avocado toast was delish; but the real stars were the catfish and grits and the hot honey fried chicken. Needless to say, Toast in Midtown will continue be our first stop for food when touch down.

I enjoyed my brunch here! We made reservations and were seated quickly. The Cajun seafood dip is a must. I ordered the salmon and shrimp over grits and was not disappointed. Big portion and good flavor. Diamond was our server and was amazing and attentive. It was my birthday and she made sure I got a little treat (lemon drop shot). Ambience was nice, there is music but it's not too loud.

The food was amazing!! Everything well seasoned, the service was great and food came out quick!!! The place was clean. Made a reservation online, walked in and was seated right away!! Highly recommend if in the ATL area. Traveling from Ohio

The horrible service started at the reception stand. The young lady was rude and ignored our questions as if we were irritating her. First impressions matter. The place was overcrowded and the entrees- though large came out delayed and cold. Honestly, I'm never going back. Poor service AND poor food earn a failing grade!

The food, cocktails and service were TOP NOTCH! The wait wasn't long at all. I highly recommend this place ~ either location.

We were settled with in 10mins of arrival. Aer server "Red" was very helpful and patient with all our questions. Red was the best server I had in the week I was in Atlanta. Ps the food was great as well!

I loved the food here! I order the salmon cakes and it was great in taste, flavorful but still felt light, and filling. Sat at the bar so service was great. The food came out fast and the staff is respectful. Negative- there was a pool of oil at the base of my plate. Please pull back on the oil.

The food and service were great. The ambiance is very calm, they play music but it is not real loud. This place is a vibe! The wait wasn't bad and the food came back fast too. The waiter Vidal was great and I will definitely request him when we come back. Highly recommend

For my friend's birthday, we decided to go back to Toast but wanted to go to the Midtown location this time. It was a great disappointment. Upon arrival, they did have signs for parking at a lot nearby which was very helpful. When we walked in, we had to wait for our entire party even though only one person was missing (got stuck in traffic). But fortunately the hostess helped us out and told us to get her order so they can start the process and was able to get seated. Once we went into the dining area, the heat was on a sauna. Everyone in my group thought we were going to have a heat stroke. Fortunately, they turned down the heat a little at some point. When we got to the table, the table was too small. They have jammed in too many tables to accommodate more people. Our waitress Mimi arrives and she was horrible. She was not interested in helping whatsoever but since Toast had rules (which they didn't have when we went a year ago to the Buckhead location) where they get tipped 18% regardless of their tacky service, she felt she didn't need to help. We asked for water and she clarified it would be a big one for the table. At least we thought. She came with two small bottles of water and afterwards told us they are $5 each. And mind you once you receive anything, you can't return it (another rule). It took her forever for her to bring tap water for two other ladies. She never brought condiments (like ranch) to where we had to ask the busboy to help. And she tried to automatically apply a 20% tip as if we were a party of 6 yet we were a party of 5. Now the food was great! Everyone enjoyed every bit of their food. It is really unfortunate to see restaurants like this do things of this nature. The rules really mess up the entire experience. Not all restaurants have to do this and I really wish they would look at restaurant models that don't have to do this and are successful. I'm extremely disappointed. I used to rant and rave about Toast. But now I can't do so. And I definitely can't take someone from out of town here.

For starters, we have to park down the street in Valet for $10 cash or $11 in electronic pmt. We get in to be seated early for an 11:30a reservation on a Wednesday and find out we have to wait to be seated until our entire party of 3 are in here. Just got off a plane and f straight from the airport and we have to wait and not get seated and there are seats! What in the world is happening with customer service? I'll check back in shortly on the food portion of this review as the start is not great right now.

This is my first time at this restaurant. I want to start by saying it's wonderful. It has a great ambience. The vibe is just really relaxing the waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu for food. I ordered shrimp and grits. & It came out fast. it was nice and hot. Delicious in my cocktails was great. I will be back next time I come to Atlanta. The menu was so good and a very good option on picking something good to eat. It was so many entrées to pick from. I just loved it. So if you're in Atlanta &, you get a chance to stop by you will not be disappointed.

The Cajun dip was amazing!!!!! I went here two months ago and I'm still thinking about it. We were negotiating over the last piece of bread lmao.. the catfish delicious! The greens were not good in my opinion my cousin didn't like them either. They were very salty. The wings were delicious!!! A celebrity or two walked in and just sat down and ate with the rest of us lol didn't expect that. The drinks were good I had a margarita I believe and it had a red wine shot or something it was 10/10. I'll definitely be back!

We had 8 different items and all the Food was great! Mike the server was attentive. Would recommend.

Finally tried the second location of Toast on Lenox and it did not disappoint. I made reservations to avoid the long wait for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is nice and cozy. The outdoor patio is so nice and not too hot. I ordered the catfish and grits, plain french toast, potatoes, and scrambled eggs. Everything was delicious! Our waiter Nes was very nice and attentive. Highly recommended for your best brunch experience.

Great service and the food was delicious. We also enjoyed Brussels sprouts. We ate them too fast and forgot to get a picture.
