Gene's Menu
Welcome to Gene's, a vibrant new American eatery nestled in East Lake, Atlanta. This charming establishment is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary experience waiting to be savored. With a menu inspired by barbecue traditions and Asian flavors, Gene's sets itself apart with unique offerings like the sticky ribs and pork Bahn Mi sandwich, both scoring a perfect 10/10 from patrons.
Despite a few minor hiccups highlighted by customers—like the elusive meat in their gumbo—the staff's attentive service shines through, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The eclectic decor harkens back to the warm, inviting atmosphere of a 70's bar, making it a great spot for gatherings.
The standout dessert, banana pudding, is a must-try, though it leans on the sweet side. With excellent cocktails and delightful sides like the crunchy waffle fries, Gene's is clearly on the rise as a local favorite. Be sure to arrive early; their popularity draws crowds!
