"I find Whoopsie's a fun, quirky spot that makes you want to be a regular: the constantly evolving menu features rotating cold and hot dishes plus a daily-changing protein (prime rib one day, roasted chicken thighs another), portions are generous, and the Southern snack tray—served on a plastic cafeteria tray with pimento cheese spread, chow chow, pickled veggies and pork terrine—is an inviting way to start; desserts change daily (pecan pie is a standout when available)." - The MICHELIN Guide

"In Atlanta, Whoopsie's is listed as an American restaurant on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Here’s an insider’s secret. If you simply glance over the menu here, you won’t find any nonalcoholic cocktails. But according to co-owner and bartender Tim Faulkner, zero-proof drinks are always available. While there are several options, Faulkner is particularly proud of Whoopsie’s nonalcoholic French 75 — an impressive feat if you’re familiar with the cocktail’s boozy contents (gin, champagne, lemon juice, and simple syrup). Here, he swaps in Leitz Eins Zwei Zero sparkling rosé, which removes the alcohol after fermentation, and Winestillery’s Hyper Low Gin. The zero-proof gin is distilled and used as a concentrate in nonalcoholic beverages, just like the French 75." - Laura Scholz
"This old-school Reynoldstown bar and restaurant is small and fills up fast with neighborhood locals, so getting here early to beat the crowds is a good idea. But even if you have to wait on a table, there’s a full bar with a rotating cocktail menu (we still dream about their gin and absinthe concoction) to help pass the time. If prime rib is on the menu, get it, it's so thick we thought there were two slabs on top of each other. But even other dishes like their moist chicken thighs or porchetta are great reasons to put Whoopie's in your rotation for a laid-back date." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"If you came in for the prime rib expecting white-glove service, Whoopsie's ain't it. This casual cocktail bar is a roll-with-the-punches spot, where people clutching cocktails will hover over your table as you devour deviled eggs and pimento cheese served on a cafeteria-style tray (oooh, the nostalgia). Despite this laid-back environment, the old-school Reynoldstown bar will impress on date nights with delicious Southern bites and classy cocktails like The Tuxedo that features heavy pours of gin and absinthe. Head here on Fridays and Saturdays for prime rib nights with hunks of beef so thick we thought there were two slabs on top of each other. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Pause Unmute" - Juli Horsford
