Escape to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, located at Centennial Park surrounded by Atlanta’s most popular attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, College Football Hall of Fame, and the SkyView Atlanta Ferris wheel. From photo-worthy views to a suspended airplane, Margaritaville is more than a restaurant; it’s a state of mind. Margaritaville has everything you need to have a good time with great island-inspired food, several unique bars, live music, and two levels of seating overlooking the dynamic downtown Atlanta entertainment district. Chill out with a margarita at the Tiki Bar, License To Chill Bar, or 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar.

We walked in, hungry, eager with anticipation, were told the wait was 20-30 minutes. (Party of 5) an hour later, we were finally sat. (Other people were sat ahead of us, including in spaces that would have accommodated us.) after waiting for the server another 10 minutes, we placed our drink orders. After another 10 minutes our order. Another 20 – 30 minutes or so ( we lost count) our food came, appetizer with the meal. To say it was unwhelming is an understatement. For the $20-30 a plate, we expected more than fast food, but fast food style was what we received. No plating, minimal effort.
Flavor was meh, the chicken was cold. Greek salad was a a quarter of a head of lettuce, not chopped. Disappointed especially considering the wait and the price. I will say the one drink I had decent. That was it. We ate, we were hungry, but this experience will never be repeated. Save your money and hit up the varsity or even McDonalds. Quality is better. The server was nice.

No wait on a Friday night. Fun atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our waitress DeJa was basically our best friend by the end of our meal. The TVs at the tables threw me off, but maybe it’s a local thing I dont know about? The tacos are very good, and the burgers and fries are also very good. Recommend stopping by, especially large groups.

Every single plate we ordered had a problem. Hair in food, all of it was burnt/overcooked. The scallops were hocky pucks. Dont waste your time, even for drinks. The drinks are served in plastic cups. They were also made terribly. My strawberry marg was undrinkable because it was overly sweet. The waiter was great, but thats the only nice this i have to say.

Janiya provided us with wonderful service. Very attentive. The food was amazing! I ordered the fried green tomatoes and my friend had the shrimp with pasta and it was very delicious and flavorful. I had the watermelon margarita and she had the tsunami margarita and both were potent and yummy. Will be back!

Pasqual was absolutely amazing! From the moment we were seated, the service was top-tier. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect the entire time. The experience at Margaritaville was great overall, but Pasqual truly made it stand out. His positive attitude and professionalism did not go unnoticed. I would definitely ask for him again and highly recommend him to anyone visiting!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very chill. Our servers name was JT and he was very nice and helpful. Be aware that they charge extra for condiments. I got the “watermelon matador” and it was very good. The sandwich is much bigger than it seems.

I ran an event here in November – a post conference happy hour event – and it was fantastic. The food and bar was generous, and the atmosphere was awesome.
Huge thanks to Nada, Minnie and the entire Margaritaville team for making it a really fun and memorable event. The DJ was super duper – folks were dancing and having a ball, and the photobooth was extremely fun.
I couldn’t recommend this venue more for such an event – the staff were professional, and the event was a great success!

We went to this place for our colleagues birthday because it had a fun vibe. We started out as a party of 9 and then we grew to a party or 14 but only 12 sat at our table. The food was good but not great, it is the fun and the vibe. Great music playing, they don’t take themselves too seriously, reasonable prices about $25 per person. Cocktails were reasonable, large, and tasty. The staff was great to just allow us to put more and more and more chairs around until the table could not hold anymore. Fun was had by all and it was a great staff, and for a group of our size it was fairly quick. oh and they have a giant beach chair that we all huddled around but I didnt feel like bluring everyone out just trust me. We had 2 people sitting on the seat, comfortably and then the other 7 of us around it. See, fun.

I was at a Keller Williams Realty conference in Atlanta and I met a few friends at the Margaritaville Restaurant for lunch today. The conference attendees overwhelmed the kitchen, so the food came out slower than usual, but the jerk salmon was worth the wait! The flavor was off… the … chain. Definitely go try it out when you’re in town next.
