Best American Restaurants in Vinings

Our Thanksgiving meal was excellent. My husband got the 3 course meal. He had the butternut squash soup for the appetizer, and turkey with dressing and sweet potato casserole as his main, and the fruit cobbler for dessert. I got 4 appetizers as my meal--the dip duo with pimento cheese and crab dip, fried green tomatoes, crab cake and the fry basket with shrimp and veggies. We each had some of everything we ordered and everything was extraordinarily tasty. I was definitely appreciative of being able to order the 4 appetizers as my entree as last year the waiter told us they couldn't do it. Our waiter Rick was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is great with a different Christmas tree in each area and a cozy fire going in the fireplace at the front entrance. We were made to feel welcome as we entered and wished a Happy Thanksgiving as we left. It was a busy day for them, but the service was. This is our 3rd Thanksgiving here, and we plan on coming again next year.

The food and service were impeccable! Best steak I have had in Atlanta since I have moved here back in 2016. Every detail in every dish was captured and the finished plate was delicious. Even my mother who never likes eating out loved everything she got here including the Lamb shank, she is difficult to please and you guys hit a home run! The cocktails were also amazing, loved Lady Sakura! 10 out of 10, we will definitely be back.

It was my birthday celebration and Blue Ridge Grill did not disappoint. I had the the house special, snapper with pumpkin gnocchi which was simply amazing. Blue Ridge Grill has that special touch from the complimentary valet parking, the subtle birthday table decoration along with a menu with my name on it. The customer service was outstanding. The greeters, the server and wine steward was impeccable. I want to give special recognition to server POLASH who provided the fine dining experience by his sophistication and excellent wine, starter and entree recommendations. POLASH went above and beyond when we mentioned Blue Ridge would like to give me a “small” birthday dessert. I thought the small dessert box with my menu was the dessert. Well, there was nothing small about my the dessert. It was enough for 4 people. It really made me feel special when Blue Ridge Grill offered their top signature dessert. I had an amazing time and recommend Blue Ridge Grill for any occasion.

Canoe is hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Atlanta. We came to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere is just magical—warm, inviting, and the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. The setting by the river is breathtaking and added such a special touch to the night. A huge shoutout to Patricia, our amazing waiter! She was everything you could hope for—attentive, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely fun. She kept us laughing all evening and made the entire experience feel so personal and memorable. The food was next-level amazing. Every dish was a work of art, both in how it looked and how it tasted. You can tell the chef puts so much heart and creativity into every bite. Honestly, it’s some of the best food we’ve ever had. Thank you, Canoe, for making my girlfriend’s birthday celebration so special. We’ll absolutely be back! If you’re looking for a place that delivers incredible food, amazing service, and an unforgettable vibe, this is it.

We always enjoy dining at SOHO. The food is excellently prepared and the service is wonderful. The regular menu has a range of choices including meat, fish, and pasta. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, which we always appreciate. This is definitely a place to try in Vinings!
