Phenomenal brunch, reasonable prices, great service, easy parking, and just great southern vibes. Food was delicious. I think everyone at our group of 6 got something different off the menu and it all came out looking great! I got the chicken sandwich which was served with breakfast potatoes. I asked for hot sauce and they make their own in house. The Sandwich was huge, moist and had eggs on it. My only regret is that it’s not served on a biscuit and I asked for it, they said they can’t do that. The biscuit though were served warm with apricot jelly. They were good (I ate one of my friends) the house potato’s were really good. I also tried the short rib hash and that blew my socks off! We shared the bottle of mimosas. Great service. They allowed us to do separate checks which was really nice.

Matthew, thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so glad you and your group enjoyed brunch with us. We also appreciate your feedback about the biscuit request and your kind words about our service team. We look forward to welcoming you all back for another great brunch soon!

We went to Haven this time for that amazing burger! It did not disappoint! And those fries were some of the best we’ve had anywhere. As always, the service at Haven is stellar. Casey, our waiter, was pleasant and attentive. His dessert recommendation of the peach pie was spot on; quite delicious with the vanilla gelato.
Haven RestaurantResponded on 12 October 2026
Hi Karen, thank you for such a wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that the HAVEN Burger and fries lived up to your expectations. It's especially lovely to know Casey took such great care of you. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him and the team. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Order the the fish entree's cooked to perfection as ordered. The service staff are very professional and know how to course the food selections in which to have a unhurried night out. Wine list is very short on white wine selection with half being chardonnay's. Over all still one of the top 3 restaurants in Atlanta. Thank you for a wonderful birthday celebration.
