Esco Restaurant & Tapas Southside

Always a pleasure at Esco's

Listen they just need to shut this location down!! It has truly fallen off from where it started. The furniture is dilapidated, the tables are wobbly, and hookah coal burns saturate the tables. I went there for brunch last Sunday after church and babee I wish I had just gone elsewhere. I went with two other people and we were the only customers there, which should’ve been the indication to leave but we were hungry and decided to stay!! My cousin and I both ordered mimosas and were mind blown when they came out in wine glasses on the rocks (what real bartender puts a mimosa on ice) we sent them back to have them made correctly! They were out of almost everything I wanted to eat on the menu, no lobster, no salmon croquettes, no steak and they stopped selling lamb chops. I decided to go with the French toast and Turkey sausage, and a egg fried hard. I asked for my sausage to be well done but when my meal came out my sausages were burnt, my French toast was undercooked, I could still see the raw egg on the bread and my fried egg still had wet yolk in middle. My friend ordered a Arnold Palmer and they didn’t even have the components to make a Arnold Palmer either!! I asked to speak with the manager and after about 10 minutes was told the manager had stepped out and wasn’t there at the moment. It was all a total disaster! I’d prefer 2 Chainz and Snoop close this spot down than to continue disrespecting the south side like this!! I was truly embarrassed because my cousin was visiting from out of town and there were so many other places I could’ve chosen to go have brunch had I known the service and food quality had dropped to that.

This place needs a serious make over.. the place is dated & doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned in years.. tv dusty .. ducts dusty.. I can imagine what the kitchen looks like!!

Went to the Morrow location instead of the Atlanta one. They happened to be having a comedy show so they charged a cover. It was much sisters birthday so we decided to stay. MISTAKE! Paid a $25 per person cover (he wanted $35) for drunk not so funny comics. 2 were good the woman and the young guy but the others were basically hit and miss. The food was sub par at best. The Salmon pasta was horrible. The steak burger was tasty but too small for the bun. The wings were small but sauced well. The seasoned fries were the best of everything. The Buffalo Sliders was literally a whole sandwich cut in half but tasty. The tables and seats were wore down. We got a booth since it was my sister's birthday but the seats were so hard it was like there was no more cushion on then at all! The floors were slippery. The wait staff was AWESOME!! Then I found out that the tip I wanted to give her would go to the house if I put it on my card. Shady to treat your employees that way.

They have a sign on the building showing they're open for lunch, but I walked up to the door only to find out they were closed with all of their chairs up. I drove all the way here only to be disappointed.

I had excellent service until this one little skinny girl came in told me to move after I had already been seated for an hour, and the other waitress told her to basically leave me alone, but she insisted that I move, and I didn’t like her since because she said in her section, and she kind of ruined the experience but everything else was perfect and I would go again just try to avoid her
