Budweiser Bar & Grill

Service was prompt. Chicken tasted like a cross between a chicken and fish. Not good. Beers were expensive. The cost $ 7.25 for a domestic beer… At least they took off the cost of the chicken tenders

The place had poor service the non smoking section was smokey and loud it next to the kitchen which doesn’t have a full wall so you hear the staff hollering at each other. Floor were dirty and the hot dog I had was just so so. Next time I am in Atlanta I am not stopping here again.

Beer is ice cold waitress has huge smile to make it a great experience. If you are airport it is a good stop during a layover. The wait staff again is very friendly. Good stop

This is not a grill. This is a place to smoke and drink outside of the little smoking rooms that litter the ATL airport. Having good experiences at other Budweiser and Bowtie Bars I went up the escalator into the smokey lounge. I glanced at the menu by the door before making the plunge but it was the breakfast menu so I didn’t know what was (or wasn’t rather) lying ahead for me.
There was a small non smoking area tucked to the side so I grabbed a free table there. I probably would have been better off in the main area because all the smoke seemed to funnel into this section and just linger as it was a dead end with high walls and no ventilation. Thanks, but you really shouldn’t have. So then in this little smoke filled cavern the waiters absolutely ignore you. I saw every table get served and checked on while I sat for 10 minutes before getting asked for a drink order. The waiter came and took my drink order and said he’d be back with the menu. I have something to say about this, they were trapping me there. Had I seen the sad menu before ordering a drink I would have left. I’m sorry but it is the honest truth and they could probably tell by my business dress and order of a bloody mary at dinner time that I was about to be really hungry after this.
The menu consists of probably ten items, mostly hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches. They had chili, some sort of deconstructed nachos, and two quesadillas (one vegetarian, one not). So now that i was buying a drink, I had to commit to some food. I debated just getting the reconstructed nachos which I believe are called 3 way or something ridiculous but for the same price i could get the veggie quesadilla so I did.
The quesadilla was really not good. The black beans fell out of it, they needed to give more salsa with it and there was a weird little container of jalapenos that came with mine, seems they forgot to fold it into the quesadilla.
Usually sit down restaurants at the only way to have a good meal at ATL, but this place’s focus is on getting tip money from smokers who are just over joyed at being able to smoke and eat and dont care about the taste or quality of their food. Then again, if you’re smoking and eating at the same time I have a feeling you can’t taste things all too well anyway.

Good food and fast friendly service. Smoking allowed. Thank you! This is my favorite place to when I have a lay over. I had the chicken quesadilla and a coke. So nice to be able to smoke in this establishment.

Small selection of beers on tap.
Kinda pricey but it is an airport.
Friendly bartenders.

I love coming here preflight to drink, smoke and grab a snack. If you’re a non smoking snob then stay the F out!

What a dump! Food is whack, their non smoking section is a tiny area of the restaurant. Beer selection is limited. Bud, BL and yuengling on tap.
Four buffalo chicken tenders for 10 bucks! Complete joke, don’t waste your time. There are much better options in the food court

Good Service food was okay and was required to sit at a table — good view one of the better smoking lounges you’ll find in US airports now days

Good food, cold beer. No burgers on the menu though.

This is the place to go in the ATL airport if you are a smoker. I am not, so it was pretty miserable!
The service was friendly, I just stopped in for a beer while wandering the terminal during my 3 hour layover. They had a good selection of beers, I had a local beer and a Yuengling. A few people around me ordered food, which looked decent, if not just typical bar food…
It was really smoky. I would suggest avoiding this place unless you are looking to get your fix in between flights.

Not a bad airport bar, the smoking section is odd, but it did not bother me in the non-​smoking section. Food was average, beer was cold and service was great and with a smile!

This is the only stop for you in the ATL airport if you are a smoker.
They have a «back room» that you can go in if you are coming just to smoke, and not eat or drink. Don’t try to sit at the bar and with a water and an ashtray, they will banish you the glass box.
They menu is ball park food at it’s best, overpriced, but gets the job done.

Very bad service and the beer had the sickly sweet taste of dirty draft lines. The food was also pretty bad.

Budweiser is my favorite of the big American lagers. So I was excited when I saw this place. I was also extremely disappointed.
If you are not a smoker, there’s absolutely no reason to go in here. The food is like movie theater concessions. The nonsmoking area is in a side room. I felt like I was at the kid table on Thanksgiving. It’s so smoky that the nonsmoking area still reeks.
I recommend walking across the terminal to Chilis where they also serve budweiser. This may be the worst Chilis ever, but it’s a lot better than the Budweiser bar and grill!

Atlanta Airport is chock full of stuff. Stuff meaning, crazy stores (Ferragamo??) and tons of souvenire spots and loads of msg loaded, over cheesed and insanely fried food…
I always liked this airport in the rare cases of layovers because I was a smoker and it is chock full of smoking lounges… I also used to come up here and smoke and eat.
This time, at day 2 of non-​smoking I was anxious, delayed, exhausted from running through 3 terminals so I went up there, because I knew there was a peice of actual chicken with my name up there.
I didn’t look at the smoking area and went right to the right with a great view… me love airplane shots especially in the rain. I took some great pictures while my phone was charging and had to jump past all the burgers on the menu and found a grilled chicken sandwich.
That chicken sandwich was a savior. It was freshly grilled and had yummy lettuce, cucumbers and goodies in it. It was just what the doctor ordered. Had some pickles on the side with cole slaw (meh!) but I was avoiding the fries.
The server was sweet, he wasn’t overbearing and kept poking out to see if I was doing well… The non-​smoking area was very quiet so I had some peace.
All in all, it was a very good layover spot… it is up the escalator in terminal A…
I’m glad I opted out of the fast food!

Getting off the tram and right up the escalator to A, this is right there. Right thurr OH a Dunks! Line was super long, anyways I was stahved and I peeped the menu and saw some buffalo chicken tenders so decided to make my way up the escalator.
I went to the right because that was the non-​smoking area and posted up right near the windows. The view was spectacular. Maybe it’s because I’m easily amused, rarely get bored (but tend to get anxious) or just find airplanes and the workings of an airport fascinating, the spot I had was freakin’ perfect.
It was right above where the luggage cars and other important airline vehicles traveled to get through term A but B was right across from me and anyone traveling here knows how large this airport is. So it was so cool watching everything moving, planes coming in and heading back to the runway, it was just so awesome.
I had a long layover, so I just sort of hung out and stared out the window like a 4 year old, but the time was well spent. Service was friendly, it was fairly empty at 10:30am and heck yes I got buffalo chicken. They weren’t anything spectacular but the view totally made up for it. They were tasty, good. I was hungover like whoa so my buds could have been effected but yeah I totally enjoyed my time there.
My waitress even gave me some water to-​go, without having to ask. She was a sweetheart!
