Meehan's Sandy Springs

We were looking for a great pub with great fish and chips. We'd heard a lot about Meehan's so we tried there. When we were walking up to the front door, several people were standing outside, but they said nothing. We went in - no hostess or any other staff visible but a sign said wait to be seated. Then one of the people standing outside walked in behind us and asked if he could help us. I wanted to say I was sorry for having interrupted his sun-break.
Got seated, ordered and got drinks without too much issue. Then were assaulted aurally by two kids sitting, wait for it - AT THE BAR. They were apparently the owner's kids so no one felt they could tell them to stop being brats.
Food came and was fine.
However, while we were eating the couple behind us, one of whom we later realized was on staff, nearly got into a fist fight with a couple at the bar.
This was all on a Saturday afternoon. Not a big crowd.
We WON'T be back. Not worth all the drama for mediocre (and overpriced) food.

Nori Nori - Roswell

Two words - Sushi Buffet!
Ok you probably want to know more. Here are 5 words - All you can Eat Sushi.

This place is awesome. it is located in the space formerly occupied by Badayori, another sushi buffet that reportedly closed when the proprietor passed away.

Admittedly this may not be the finest sushi money can buy, but if you are looking for above average quality and plenty of it, this is the place to go. They have plenty of raw and cooked varieties of sushi as well as many other Japanese offerings. If sushi isn't your thing, they also have a huge selection of sashimi, various salads, a soup/udon station, and a cooked section with grilled salmon, oyster Rockefeller, crab-stuffed prawns, and more. The seaweed salad is light and refreshng and also surprisingly flavorful. And do yourself a favor by saving at least a little room for some green tea ice cream. It is in the softserve machine and is the creamiest green tea ice cream I have ever had.
