Everything was tasty. Great flavors and beautiful place. Excellent service. Menu had several unique dishes. Not my typical place though. A touch fancier than my usual.
Took my sister to lunch to General Muir today and they did not disappoint us! Shared a Ruben and the Poutine. I think my sisters eyes rolled back in her head as she put the fork of Poutine in her mouth. The Ruben from the crunch of the rye bread to the sour and savory combination of the kraut and corn beef was perfectly balanced in taste and presentation. Only complaint is that they had no rye bread to sell. Just love that bread!
Had the brisket, curried pured parsnips, roasted squash & Kugel. The dinner was just ok and barely warm. Disappointed in the dinner, but will give it another try for breakfast. I was hoping I would find a local spot where I won’t have to order Katz online; I guess not
Have been here a few times now for breakfast and brunch. The Smoked Hash is great and full of flavor being one of the tastier hashes I have had. The pastrami is a must but what really shines is the burger which is smashed to the flattop and cooked to perfection. No frills with American Cheese and pickles but hey we don’t need any Vortex topping bull here.
Friday August 14 2015 was the first time I have eaten at theGeneral Muir.I had heard they had some of the best Pastrami and Cornedbeef in Atlanta.A friend recommended we have lunch there.As I am a big Corned Beef and Pastrami Nut, I agreed and methim there.I was excited about the pastrami sandwich and couldntdecide between the 7oz with chopped chicken liver and Russian dressing but wentwith the 14 oz for $18.For that price I was expecting the leanest, tastiest pastrami Cooked andhandled with care.Unfortunately that was not the case.I asked for the 14oz and ask to have my bread toastedlightly.What came was a greasy, fatty, overcooked pile of whatlooked like dark grey meat on an over grilled piece of bread. I even asked them to check with the chef to make sure it wasthe 14 oz as it looked very short to me.When I opened it to add some mustard, I found 2 of theslices, to be only slabs of fat and the rest falling apart over cooked meatwith no real flavor profile, just hot mess.As I was on kind of a job interview with my friend, I didnot want to make a scene at this luncheon.However, this meal was absolutely the worst I have had, inthis city in a very long time.And I could not understand the reason for the HIGH price. Asthis was very poor quality product, they had produced.Also I stated they forget the pickle with this sandwich towhich I was told it was extra $1.So a subpar pastrami sandwich for $18 which didnt evenincluded the pickle to complete the required flavor profile to accompany, whatshould have been a great sandwich.Joey Ds Oak room has the finest 7 & 13 oz corned beefsandwich in the city.They gently roll 7 & 13 oz of the leanest, most juicycorned beef into a large meat roll and place it lovingly between great Jewishrye bread and include the whole dill pickle for $17.95 for the 13 oz.I would run to have that sandwich again and I will.I would not return for this pastrami ever again.When I pressed my friend about his lunch he shurged hisshoulders and it was EAHHHHH.I dont understand all the good review, as I have no reasonto return to this establishment, Ever.The service was attentive.
Fabulous place for breakfast! Scrambled eggs with nova and onions was delicious. My husband’s pastrami bacon was just amazing! Well worth going out of your way for!
No Promotion for this GeneralWe had heard that the General Muir had a very good breakfast. So we went and found the restaurant located in the center of the Emory Point complex. 3 hours of free parking is provided in the nearby deck.The restaurant has a sort of New York vibe with lots of little white tiles and windows that look in on the kitchen.The breakfast menu is focused on a few main, complex dishes. Also available are bagels and a cinnamon roll (though not the day we were there).We had the General Muir breakfast which included a couple of eggs (cant really mess that up) and some very fatty pastrami, a couple of only OK latkes and some sour cream and very runny apple sauce.The poached eggs on grits with mushrooms was more successful with some delicious marinated mushrooms and good grits.We also had the French toast. It looked very promising with a nice, crunchy exterior coated in ground nuts. Unfortunately, since it was so thickly cut, the interior was a soggy and totally unappetizing mess. We scooped out the interior and ate the exterior which was very good.Prices are commensurate with a higher-end restaurant and pricier than some of the other breakfast places that we enjoy around Atlanta. $50 (counting the tip) for breakfast for 3 was a little high, especially when considering the mixed quality of food.I doubt that I would return to General Muir for breakfast. Maybe lunch or dinner would be more successful.
