Radial

For all the people who complained in the reviews do ask for the owner next time as they work with the staff everyday and strive very hard to make the service great. I am revising my review since it has been some time since I did the first one for Radial. I still think the service is good. The wait staff does good. The food always gets to us pretty fast. I never have waited very long to get seated. I avoid the peak times which is weekends from opening to 1 pm but if you go after that time it is fast. I know vibe is important but a serious flaw I have read in the reviews is people always are so fast to blame the wait staff but perhaps it takes two to Tango so could a bad attitude from the customer also be to blame? I think my great experience here has been reapeated since I am always very nice to the wait staff. They are humans so they will make mistakes. If I was paying $100 for the meal then being pompus could be alright maybe but this place is local owned small business. I for one like to support the local places and the owners need the support. It has to be hard to own a business that is food related. Next time ask for the owner or call back to tell them what is own your mind and perhaps that will get things fixed but give Radial a try. I know they want to stick around!\r \r Daily specials are great. Variety here is good. I love grits and each week a new type is on the specials menu. I have tried several specials and they are great. Also love the breakfast. Vegans have no problem eating at this place. Also wait staff is easy to deal with ... No attitudes. Sunday is busy but then anyplace in Atlanta that is good is busy on Sunday! Each month a new artist is on display so the walls are always fresh with art. They have also gone green here so they really love the planet! Pros: Neighboorhood, Artwork, Good Vibe Cons: One stop shop more

I love Radial!!!! Radial is the breast restaurant ever, fo real!! more

So, I read the review for radial on citysearch, which is usually accurate. I then went to radial on a sunday around 11:15 am with a couple good friends. The place was packed, and a good number of people were waiting to be sat. The host said it would be about fifteen to twenty minutes. I wasn't very hungry, but just looking to hang out and grab a bite while discussing the fun from the evening before with my buds. After we hung around for over an hour, we decided to look at the menu and food, to evaluate why it was taking so long. The food looked so plain, nothing special, and so was the menu. I am not vegetarian, and the food seems to be geared in that direction. This restaurant should not be rated so well. I left without eating, and will not return. more

Radial is popular but not overly so. The wait time at 1:00pm on Sunday was 20 minutes. Places like Thumbs UP are easily 60 minutes. Radial is a well mixed atmosphere from the obviously *Well Connected* to the *Strangley Tatooed*. My partner and I had their omelettes which were out of this world. Extremely fluffy with fresh ingredients. We shared an order of their French Toast. They were absolutely fantastic. It comes with Strawberry Rhubarb sauce which was fantastic, but I recommend asking for it on the side. Ask for the regular syrup, the little cup of ""pure"" maple syrup is not worth the $1.75. If you're a coffee drinker, you'll love theirs. Definitely one of the smoothest I've tasted. Lasly I recommend bringing a conversationalist. The service was a little slow, possibly understaffed. All in all we will be going back for their Cinnamon Sugar Waffles!! Pros: Friendly Staff., Cool setting., Great Food. Cons: Quicker Service. more

My husband and I went to Radial for the first time a few weeks ago. The pancakes melt in your mouth with a wildflower hunnybutter. The vegetarian biscuits and gravy don't taste vegetarian - they're GREAT! He had the special - the black forrest waffles with raspberry puree. They weren't great, but still good. Overall the service was very good, the food was great, and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. We look forward to going back soon! Pros: lots of parking, not crowded, great service more

I've had breakfast there before and it was amazing. I love the location and the atmosphere there. They also have other events there, art openings, etc. Very awesome place. more

If you are looking for great foor, unique menu items, health conscious menu items, freindly service and prompt service did I mention the diverse atmosphere, then you can not go wrong with Radial. My wife and I along with a good friend ventured to this hard to find locale and it was worth the hunt. The vegetarian saugage was tasty and the buck wheat pancakes were delicious. The vegetarian biscuits and gravy had my wife smiling for some time. Our friend, who is a very picky eater, said he has a new #1 breakfast spot. Enough said, I hope your experience is half as good as mine Pros: Food (Taste), Unique menu items, Ambience Cons: Hard to Find more

Radial has an interesting location and some nice menu items, but everytime I go, it seems the food is just not as good as before. Lately it has been disappointing more

The Radial is a great Atlanta in-town treasure, hidden away, which is good for us in the neighborhood. Friendly, laid-back staff, diverse clientelle, funky fluid art and a fab owner who cooks, greets, seats, waits tables and chats. Love the many takes on pancakes...try the cornmeal ones on special. We go every Sunday and sometimes on Saturdays, too, when we just can't wait. Pros: good food, diverse crowd, relaxed, friendly more

Everytime I have gone to the Radial, the food has been awesome. The menu seems to change frequently, yet keep the best things, so that everytime I go I am always satisfied. The prices are good, the service excellent. I like how the art on the walls is always changing. I have brought my family several times, and there is always food everyone wants to eat. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. Pros: excellent food, good prices, interesting art more
