It’s official! This is the worst place ever. This is my second time coming and being disappointed with my overall experience. I would give no stars but to give a review I have to put this down. So, the first picture you see is the so called shrimp and grits! Where should I start: it was clumpy, dry, no seasoning, and such a small amount for a high price. Then you have the second picture which was the so called famous pasta. Not sure what was so famous because it was poorly seasoned, tasted like flour and over cooked shrimp. The water tasted like sink water unfiltered. All the food was warm or cold. Nothing was hot. For a $225 tab we should have had an amazing dine and we did not. I would advise you to not go here and find a better place to wine and dine. Because I promise you this not it. The only thing that was a hit was the live band. The place was better when I use to come before the pandemic. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Great entertainment! But it stops there, the server wasn't helpful at all. The food was cold and had no flavor, the manager was very nice though. This is a good place to only go and watch the band and have cocktails

Great evening dinner atmosphere. Surprised my hubby for his Birthday and Retirement by eating dinner here. Our dinner was delicious, waiter was attentive, music was excellent (R&B and Jazz Vocalist on this particular evening). We’ll be back!

Visiting Atlanta this weekend for the Maxwell concert. This was our first stop. The atmosphere was nice, I really enjoyed the live band however, the food and drinks not so much. We ordered the catfish and fried green tomatoes which were good. I ordered a Mojito that taste like sugar water, very weak. My husband ordered a beer can't really mess that up. Then we ordered our main dishes. I had the pulled pork and slaw. It had no seasoning in it at all, none. The bbq sauce had a strange taste to it so that didn't help. Slaw was dry it was just shredded cabbage and collards. My husband ordered the ribs mac n cheese and mash potatoes. He ate a couple of bites of each and that was that. The fries were really good though. Maybe it was an off night, we'll try again next time we're in town.

Eric gurvin | Aug 11, 2021

No you do not have to, but to keep from having a long wait time and standing for a long time, it was best mke reservations two weeks in advance. That is how fast they would book up.

The atmosphere is great..the live music is perfect....the greens n mac are not the beat and my white meat chicken was not fully cooked. The sweet tea is also good.

Robert James | Dec 10, 2019

This place is amazing and yes I believe there is jazz music every night. This music is phenomenal by the way. May want to check what time the band comes on, just in case they are on a break when you arrive.

What is the attire?

Vera Griffin | Dec 10, 2019
V Hardy | Dec 11, 2019

Laid back casual attire...I saw a lot of jeans, boots, blouses, sweaters, dresses, jumpsuits,and I saw people dressed up. It gets warm inside quick. Atmosphere is nice, try to reserve a table to cut back on your wait time. You'll enjoy yourself!

What is the music like on sundays

Why is the a $5.00 fee to hear a band when you are paying for drinks and food? Doesnt seem right. Can someone explain why please?

Shirley McArthur | Dec 10, 2018
Michael Edwards | Dec 11, 2018

IMO, most restaurants don't have live bands so at SGJJ they tack on $5 to help pay the band. It's not a lot when you consider the price of concert tickets these days. Some of the ban'ds aren't stellar but they do entertain...

How was Friday and Saturday service

Lena Smith | Dec 10, 2018
Auspicious Living51 | Dec 11, 2018

The service was great! I was disappointed at having to pay $5 for the band, for not having a reservation! The band was playing when we went in, played one very short song and went somewhere for a while and when we were about to leave, they returned!!! As far as food and service, it's a great place to visit... Just make sure you have reservations!!!

What is the dress code?

Theodora Cain | Dec 9, 2020
Tasia Taylor | Dec 10, 2020

It was a casual to a dressy as you'd like. I wouldn't recommend t shirts or shorts, but you won't be turned around because of it. There's a live band, so many ppl dress up like Chicago steppers when they visit. At the very least I'd recommend business casual 😊
