Ralph’s Tavern

Friendly staff. Justin and Ross are great. Good drinks. Nice laid back atmosphere. Hands down the best wings in kennesaw! Try the teriyaki wings. Definitely my go to bar.

Amazing food! The bar is smokey but it is a bar. Worth going just for the food and the staff is great and very friendly.

Pros:
1. Burger is fantastic
2. Service is really good
3. Manager is a nice guy
4. Bartender’s are right on
5. Good poker nights
6. Regular’s are good people. Good manners and what not.
7. Plenty of parking in front. Well lit.
Cons:
1. Late night closing bartender who is a guy who doesn’t talk that much. He will scam and rip you off. He charged me a lot of money, thinking I was drunk. Ever since that experience, I stopped going there. And, what can you do after it’s been charged on Monday? You’re not going to find out until like Wednesday or later. By the, it’s too late.
That’s not right. Why spoil everything, when things are so good?

Great daily specials, open late, food is on point! Can get a little smokey but always a late night go to local favorite

Our go to drinking hole (unfortunately). The drinks are stiff and they always have the game on for me. Food is pretty typical bar food but always have a good time here. It’s my own personal Cheers but thy don’t know my name. Lol

Stopped in for a burger while the folks next door were changing the oil in my car. Service was good; the bartender was the only one waiting tables. Had potato skins and a cheese burger. Potato skins were average almost like something out of the freezer section at publix. Fries were ordinary crinkle fries. Burger was great. Fresh, juicy and tasted like it was grilled on a backyard charcoal grill. Just wish the put more than one pickle on the plate.

Average run of the mill dive bar. Nothing great, nothing terrible. The bartender seems down to earth. Left full and with an «it’ll do» attitude. Probably won’t ever go back… bc there isn’t anything special to draw me back.

We love this place. Great food and they have a daily special. Ross and Amy always make us feel welcome. They have great drinks.

Ralph’s is a neighborhood bar, no more but no less and that’s a good thing! When I say neighborhood I mean on several occasions I’ve gone in and seen my neighbors there and joined them in a pitcher or two or three. They have a good amount of beers on tap, a great waitstaff and good food. If you’re looking for themed bar, this isn’t the place. If you’re for scantly clad waitresses, this isn’t it either. But if you’re looking for a nice hang out place where you can have a beer and relax, this is definitely the place. I do recommend the raw oysters, they’re very good. I’ve been going here since I moved here 16 years ago and while they’ve had their ups and downs and menu changes, they’ve always remained the neighborhood bar where you go to have a few pitchers with friends.

We go here often as it’s close to the house. It is an «adult» bar/​tavern and they do allow smoking so if that bothers you-don’t go. But, please don’t complain about it if you decide to go and eat at Ralph’s. I do smoke, so I enjoy having a place that isn’t a total dive bar that I can go and have a drink, a wonderful meal and then smoke a cigarette without having to stand outside. They have great food from the burgers (including a portobello mushroom burger for vegetarians) to steak. Specials are great and prices are very fair. Overall, wonderful place to drop in for a bite & cocktail.

I’m not sure why this place isn’t more popular with students. They usually have good drink specials and the food is cheap. The bar is usually surrounded by older people’s most of the tables are empty. Worth a try if you want to go out and not spend too much money.

Horseradish burger was awesome… Perhaps one of the best burgers around. Server was really nice and cute. LOL
Gave it four stars only because it smells a little smokey.
Again — best burger around.

Cool bar for a chill night. Not a club. Very good food. All servers will know your name by the end of the night. $ 2 high lifes.

Terrific bar /​tavern food. Everything was fantastic! I’d say my French Dip was the best I’ve had ever, any where. The staff if very friendly and helpful.
Now, one warning — it is smoke friendly HOWEVER, it was beyond tolerable.
I’m looking forward to going again… heck, maybe making it a regular place even.

U gotta try burger Thursday! All, every version is 6 bucks, maybe 5. I enjoy the staff and food. If you want fresh oysters, this is your place. I’m picky and before I leap, I ask. Everyone I’ve seen eating them raves.
Being a carnivore, I’ve just had red meats, next time oysters !

A spontaneous decision to do the ScoutMob thing led us here. First of all, I have to say that staff was very nice and provided some really good suggestions about our orders. Overall service was very very fast. But in general, I am turned off by overly smoky environments. And I should’ve known that this place, away from the confines of any of Atlanta’s no smoking ordinances, would be full of smoke.
Having said that, it’s clear that Ralph’s is a comfortable, neighborhood dive, which is home to many regulars. Low-​maintenance seems to be the name of the game, right down the cigarette burns on the vinyl-​covered tables. In general, I’m a fan of low-​maintenance. But I’m somehow not a fan of burned vinyl.
We had the burger (which was good), and the chicken philly (which seemed rather average). But there are plenty of other options on the menu to explore. And I’d be happy to explore them. But the smoke thing just isn’t for me.

We went there a second time tonight. Not bad either time. My biggest complaint was the tobacco smoke. I have a mild allergy to the smoke and went into a sneezing fit. Gag.
Potato skins as a appetizer and I had one of the sandwiches with the garlic Parm potatoes as a side. A good sandwich but the side needed a bit more.
I’ve been there for lunch a couple of times. Food quality is okay.
We’ll be back.

Found this place via my fave app of all time… Scoutmob! We thought that were in the area but we weren’t lol it was worth the drive. This place is hidden inside of a shopping plaza right off the highway. The scene seemed a little sketchy — super smoky bar, everyone looking at you like you don’t belong there. Eh, we drove this far, might as well see what the food tastes like.
I got a little nervous looking at the menu. It was your typical bar food. I didn’t see any vegetarian options so I opted for the fish tacos. We started off with the buffalo shrimp. GOOOOOODNESS! There were the tastiest buff shrimp I’ve ever had. I had already placed my entrée order. I was hoping that the fish tacos were just as good. They weren’t. The were as bland as they could be, so I asked for the buffalo sauce that came on the shrimp. Now back to those shrimp. They were FRESH, battered and fried to perfection then tossed in this red-​orange yummy goodness of a buffalo sauce and accompanied by some good olé bleu cheese.
We had a couple of brewskies and watched the baseball game on the tv that was arched over our table.
I really wanted to order some shrimp to go. But there was no way that they could’ve made it back home it tip-​top condition so we flashed the Scoutmob app on the phone and the manager came over to the table to bring us the final check. He asked how everything was and if we had ever been there before. I told you, this really looked like a bar on Cheers. We didn’t look familiar. We told him that it was our first time. He welcomed us and invited us to come back. We def will!

Great hangout. Loved the chicken wings. Owner /​manager Ross dropped by our table and treated us like we were old friends. Great waitress, good service.
We dont smoke, and the place is definitely a smoke friendly place, but it was tolerable and we didn’t mind given the rest of the place great!
