Manuel's Tavern

We absolutely love this place for their friendly service, cheap drinks and comfort food. One of VaHi best places for its vibes. We sat at the bar, which was fairly empty on a Saturday afternoon. We needed a quick bite to eat and drinks so my husband and I shared a French dip with fries. That French dip was like a hug and was super comforting especially during a rainy day. One order was plenty to share between two people if you're not too hungry. The bread was buttered and roasted to perfection with an ample amount of roast beef and melted Swiss. The au jus was tasty and not too salty. It was served with crispy fried and horseradish sauce but wish the sauce was more horseradish-y. Everything during this visit was excellent! PS: you must get their brownie skillet with ice cream. It's a warm brownie served on a cast iron with ice cream. Need I say more?

Local no nonsense tavern . Support them . We need these places in a neighborhood .A lot of beer selectionFood is comfort food

U know the place.Been here forever.My review ain't gonna provide any greater insight into this enthralling Highlands eatery ;)I really Missed This Place Living OTP past 15 yrs. :/ The relaxed, kind vibe of this tavern remains as strong as ever. Classic Bar- Gots wide variety on menu, and ready for any custom requests- ask young Stuart.Not surprised the menu really hasn't changed over the years.. .. The Quesadillas, Wings, & Brunswick Stew haven't gone anywhere; They's even added a Beyond Burger :0 ;)Will be backs.

First visit to this iconic establishment. Very cool inside, reeks with nostalgia. I had the French dip sandwich, adding peppers and onions; it came with a side of fries. Sandwich was good. The sour cream/horseradish sauce that came with it was more or less sour cream with just a faint hint of horseradish (would have preferred more horseradish). I'm just gonna hang out here man. I'll just hang here that's fine.I don't recall ever having horrible ketchup, that is until I came here. The ketchup they offer is very vinegary and just plain nasty. Fortunately, they had one other brand that was organic, and it was fine tasting.Service was good. They have a full bar with several draft offerings.

We came on a Saturday during Brunch and had to wait till 2pm for them to serve the wings. We waited an hour but it went by fast with the decent craft beers on draft and $0.50 pinball games. The pinball games were so much fun and not crowded on a Saturday noon time. The service was very friendly and let us hang out and remembered that we wanted the wings so gave us the lunch menu a few minutes early. Worth the wait for the lemon pepper wings . So crispy and juicy.

We threw a surprise birthday party for my friend and I am so glad we chose Manuel's. This was my first time at the restaurant and I honestly will be back. The venue has a neighborhood feel. The hardwood floors are great with the natural design aesthetic. The big windows provide ample natural light and allow you to experience the area as a whole while sitting inside. We booked the back room which is a huge area. There is also a speaker connection which is great as it allows you to create your own ambiance that you desire. There is also a curtain you can close which allows for you to be off in your own world while still being present at the venue. Along with the booking, you get your own servers for the room. This is a great addition as it makes the service and experience as a whole very personal. The service provided was amazing. The servers were friendly. They knew the food and drink menu very well and were able to keep everyone's orders in order and keep away from any confusion or mix ups. The food at Manuel's was AMAZING! I decided on the Steak Quesadilla with a side of Tater Tots. I'll be honest, I think I'm addicted. LoL!!! The steak in the quesadilla was tender, meaty, seasoned, and most of all a perfect portion. The quesadilla as a whole is a healthy portion and great as a personal meal or one to share. (I want another one now. LoL!)... the Tater Tots took me back to childhood. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were a perfect pairing for the Quesadilla. Furthermore, the fixings that come with the quesadilla were fresh and good. Can you tell I enjoyed my meal?Overall this was a great experience. Manuel's is perfect for a group of friends or a personal meal. You can't go wrong with dropping in.

I enjoyed this place! Gave me dive bar vibes, but bigger. There is a free parking lot behind the building. Inside, it's a seat yourself kind of joint. Their drink menu was huge. Opted to order 10 wings Terry sauce style which is an extra $1 upcharge from buffalo. I did not enjoy the sauce at all, it was kind of like a sweet and spicy peppery sauce, but the size and taste of chicken was amazing. I would order again with a different sauce. The tots with ranch were delicious. My companion ordered the chicken fried steak and really enjoyed it! I'd recommend this place

During my visit to Atlanta, this was my favorite restaurant. I sat at the bar for lunch and was quickly greeted by Melanie, the bartender. This spot feels like a neighborhood hangout; staff knew customers names but also greeted me with same enthusiasm. I had the special, the salmon BLT, and it was quite good. The food came out quickly and hot. The next time I'm in Atlanta, I'll definitely stop in again.

Came here for brunch. Service was good. I ordered a mimosa and it was not weak which I appreciate. The portion sizes were huge and food was solid and reasonably priced.

Only ordered takeout, but the staff was extremely nice, and the place had a cool vibe going in. I'd love to come back and sit down and eat here. I've heard great things. The burger was decent, tots were delicious, the mozzarella sticks were good but the marinara?! I wanted to bathe in it. Absolutely fantastic. Fast, efficient, maybe a little pricier than I expected, but good.
