Best Casual Restaurants in Alpharetta

2nd trip there and the food and service was amazing. Had Keith as our waiter and he is the best. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Definitely will visit again

Branch and Barrel is always my go to for a casual cozy comfort meal. The Branch Berry cocktail never disappoints (but ours was missing the muddled strawberries, and I’ve had it served with a string of something before so the presentation was lacking) The food was yummy and our waitress was great. My BIG complaint is the massive waves of cold air when the doors open, which was often. It was brutal. In New England they either have a vestibule or a U shaped rod just as you walk in, hung with velvet curtains, to block the wind gusts. The doors are so centered and open to the entire space it was freezing. Still love this place though. I wish there were vegetarian options on the menu (and an Impossible burger swap option on your fantastic burgers) a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich and more hearty soups.

The service was great. The music was a bit too loud, we had a hard time talking at our table. The menu offers a nice variety, but the prices have gotten way too expensive.

Our charming young waiter made our birthday dinner so special!

Our waitress was outstanding (sorry that I can't remember her name-tall, glasses, dark hair, well-informed, super conscientious). Food ranges from good to excellent (seafood tower, carpaccio, filet, tuna dinner, broccolini, mushrooms, wine and old fashioned-very well-prepared). Very, very noisy. Back room, a little better than the front room. Premium priced (my informed perspective, beyond similar). Parking is a challenge on busy evenings. I'll go again, but unlikely to be in heavy rotation when entertaining or family outings.
