Three words: Sweet. Potato. Fries. Burgers are amazing also, but I'm not a big beefy fan. Hubby is though, and he can't shut up about this place. I'll admit, the cute shopping cart in which the fries arrive is adorable. Yes, that's important. But if the fries weren't to-die-for, it wouldn't matter as much. But they are! Atmosphere is cool/trendy/fun - but not pretentious. Chef Matt is super cool - Hi Matt! :) I've only been once, so maybe we'll move up to 5 stars after further visits. I believe it was a Friday afternoon, and it was packed. Word is out and they are busy for a reason, so plan on patience or plan accordingly for your visit here. But do visit! It's worth it.

Ahhh the Velvet Room... either love it or hate it, depending on the night. The club itself is nice and pretty spacious. It's usually free before 11 for ladies, but that depends so try to find out before you go. Otherwise its the standard $20. Also give it some time, because they ALWAYS make you wait in that horrendous line (in front of a Big Lots :/ ) Good thing is that parking is usually free and its not too far from midtown (just hop on 85N) Friday nights: Its "grown and sexy" night on Fridays, with music courtesy of V-103. The crowd is okay looking, but too preppy for my likes. There's a lot of frat bros and sistas. The music is okay, mostly R&B. I'd give it 2.5 stars for Fridays. Saturday nights: This is when the asian and white people come out to partaayy, whoot! The music is thanks to Q100 and it sucks for the most part unless you love pop music and top 40. For some reason there are very few good looking people on Saturdays... or so it seems. I give it 1 star for Saturdays. Sunday nights: Hot 107.9 hosts on Sundays and the party is usually pretty good. The music is the best on Sundays (mostly hip-hop) and people are there to have a good time. It's not preppy (or "grown"... whatever that means) like it is on Fridays. I've also found it a little less crowded since its Sunday except when there is an event. Sunday events tend to be the best too. I give Sundays 4 stars :)

Great place, Friendly service,Great food, & Reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere for the whole family. The Glennie Tavern Pizza and Friday night fish fry are favorites of mine, and I sure that anyone else who has ever been there would agree!
