    My family and I were looking for a place with great food and service - Restaurant 10 fulfilled that! After a long day filled with a football activities, we met Alvin who provided us with exceptional service. His personality and recommendations truly helped us enjoyed our time together and a great dinner. We really enjoyed the turkey tips, turkey wings, chicken wings, baked beans, Mac-n-cheese, yams, mashed potatoes and greens! The mixed drinks were okay; standard but really should have more alcohol in them for the price. We eat out often and Alvin’s his work ethic is refreshing; in our opinion, he’s in the top 1% of professionals we’ve encountered in today’s “gratuity-focused” hospitality industry. Next time we’re in Atlanta, we’d come back just to experience the excellent service and hospitality by Alvin. Thank you Restaurant 10 for accommodating us!

    I frequently travel and eat out. I can’t remember the last time I had such excellent service offered. Servers and managers helped each other. Food was good, quickly brought to table with multiple staff members asking if everything was okay and if needed anything else.
