57 Restaurant Review

Amazing outdoor Lounge with great airport view... the food is pretty TASTY!

A must go to for great quality food, friendly service and historic casual atmosphere! Totally satisfying dining experience!

Went for Sunday brunch. Food was great with good atmosphere and historic setting, can't ask for much more. This establishment is a can't miss!

Great view, that's all. No good food, no good drinks and definitely no good service! Food tasted awful which made the cost that much worse. We bought beers and they actually brought them in cans, not even cold beer glasses to accompany them!! If that's what I wanted then I'd just go to the store and buy in packs for lot cheaper! The service, we had to search for someone to help us find a good area to eat and in the end we had to seat ourselves. No help was given even after seeing we had a baby with us! It would've been great if their staff had helped us find a good place to seat because while leaving I found a whole another section of eating area that went perfect with a baby in tow. What was worse was that we had to search for someone to get our bill and then the credit card after payment!! Must've been their bad day or this place just sucks.

I was at this place during warbird weekend doing my best to make a pleasant experience for a elderly Vietnam veteran everyting was going well until I was harrassed by a latino host I have wittness I am waiting to see what they will do before I make my decision on if I come back. It was Awful how I was treated, She made it quiet clear she does not like Americans.

I had a ribeye steak it was good it would cook good but they don't serve steak sauce

I believe they have the best Prime Rib ever!! They cook it on the green egg, and it was perfectly medium rare. The wine was good, the service was good.
We sat outside at the bar and watched the planes on the runway.
After dinner my friend asked the bartender to make Russian Quaalude shots. She made them without hesitating. After a few shots we were off to the dance floor. The best way to burn off all of those calories!

Really cool place with a lot of really neat historical items. Great food and drinks

I've been going there for Mother's Day for the past five years this year the food wasn't as good as in the past I was disappointed

I went here for the first time with my family. I'm a vegetarian so I ordered the obvious "vegetable pasta." Fantastic! I can't speak for my family but my son ordered a NY Strip, well done but what we should have said, speaking from experience from other places, was "very well done as in no blood." So as he started cutting it he saw red meat. You know what I mean. We sent it back and told them to basically keep it on the fire until the red color disappear. We call this "very well done." Carnivores should enjoy this place. They also have kinda like a club area with music and a dance floor. Good atmosphere. It's very easy to drive by this place at night. Be prepared to make a u-turn.

Very nice food for lunch. Good view of the runways and taxiways at PDK airport.

This was a very unique experience I met with lawyer (3) friends of mine on Sunday afternoon the interior was old fashioned military fighter style the menu was limited but the food was outstanding and the atmosphere was set up for social distancing we sat outside with a view of the landing strip wonderful we meet there again weather permitting.

Atmosphere outside is great! Service is lacking. Inside, menu is high priced, but delish. We've eaten here more than 6 times. each time was a very different experience with food and service. Still worth the visit.

The back patio is a hidden gem... plan to visit more when the weather is good for outdoor seating.

We met a friend for lunch here. If you like a WWII motif this is the place for you. The place is chocked with memorabilia both inside and out. The food was good on a limited menu for lunch.

Great food and excellent service! We'll be back soon...

Dining with a twist......eat and enjoy libations with private jets taking off and landing. Plus airplane rides. Can't beat it ! Will return and tell friends

Hostess was dull and not very polite. Had a scowl on her face when we walked up to the desk. We left. She needs to learn how to crack a smile.

Great place to spend an afternoon on the patio and watch the planes come and go.

Fun place on Fri/Sat... DJ plays a variety of music and folks are there to dance so that's a win-win for me. Mixed drinks are a bit steep though.

The kitchen closes early but the dj plays all the hits all night. Come for a different Atl experience. I love this place.

This is a classy 'theme' restaurant, that has a charm/atmosphere from the WW2 era, including jeeps adn a fighter plane sitting outside, and photos from a few hundred WW2 vets posted to the walls inside. They have good food, a decent bar, and a dance floor that's often busy on the weekends. Good place to take a date, and I've been there for small private dinners, or larger Meetup group gatherings. If you want, they also have a larger group room in the back, past the dance floor, that you can use for 15-30 people.
Also, one side of the restaurant has a back deck, or windows where you can see planes landing at PDK airport.
Sometimes it's busy, so you might call ahead to check... but usually there is plenty of parking, and little or no wait for a table. The crowd varies from people in their 30's, to nostalgia buffs in their 60's... but it's a nice place, and usually good wait staff.

Check their web site, since they have Jazz or Big-Band musicians some weekends, or DJ other times... and for special holidays, they have a really nice Brunch Buffet.

Great place to dance! Nice fire pits to hang out buy as you cool off. Fun place to go on a Friday or Saturday night. There's also a restaurant attached to this but I have never been to the restaurant part only the dance bar

Such an amazing place and the atmosphere is simply beautiful beyond words.

The food was amazing! Would recommend this place to everyone!

Awesome brunch spot. Drink mimosas and watch the planes land and take off from PDK.

Food was amazing and watching the planes land and take off while dining was very unique.

Good food and atmosphere, and excellent service, a little pricey ... but overall a good place

This is the perfect place to bring your parents when they visit. Your Dad will love it.

Food was delicious and service was outstanding. Atmosphere and views were really cool! We loved it!

Very good on Fridays you can eat with your wife or friend and then you can have a good time with the music and the dance floor that is very variable, it is a very appreciated place

Liked the motif. Food was decent. Glazed Salmon was good, but needs an additional side (like rice pilaf) as it looks lonely on the large plate. Had the Bunker Salad. Not a traditional house salad. Nice change. Hubby had 57 Sandwich with fries. Meal so large he had to bring 1/2 home. Crab Spinach Artichoke Dip was good, but over-powered by red pepper. By the end of appitizer I could not taste anything because of the heat from peppers. Music could have been more on point with decor (WWII Big Band would be more
appropriate). Paying for ambiance & view (very touristy). Enjoyed
watching the planes takeoff &
land. Pricing in-line with
business & tourism, but overpriced for family dining. Looks like an excellent venue for parties or special events. Great place for potential photo shoot. Overall enjoyable experience.

Love the Ginger Soy Salmon! It's delicious. The best thing about the 57th... Dancing! Watch the planes! Have a bite! Cut a Rug! It's the 57th!

I love this spot love to watch the Plaines food is good and the staff is impeccable.

Great place to eat, the environment its different and really clean.

I have taken my parents to this restaurant many times over the last couple years because we loved the atmosphere and food. My visit today was a completely different experience. Several menu items had changed, the food overall was a little cold, very greasy, and just did not taste good at all. To top off our bad experience, from our table in the middle of the restaurant we could hear the kitchen staff yelling and cursing at each other. Our waitress told us to "just ignore the yelling from the kitchen" but no one ever apologized for the completely unacceptable behavior. Hopefully they can turn it around and get back to the high quality people expect from this place. In the meantime, I will not be going back to this restaurant and I would recommend anyone in the area stay away.

Slow service but such a nice fall day watching aircraft land and take off. Food was good.

First time here. Ambiance, service and the food really good. Seeing the planes at the airport is an added bonus. Will be back

Had mother's day brunch. Food variety average. Ham carving excellent. Prime beef tough. Service staff great. Quincy and Tommy! Prices reasonable. Bad intermittent weather, saw some, planes ,decor excellent!!

I always have to visit this place when I am in Georgia. The resturant is right next to the runway. I enjoy watching the airplanes take off and land. The grandsons love it too. Very family orientated. The food is really good

It was a good experience, large portions and tasty food.

Decor is pretty impressive.

Beer soup was very salty. Mixed veggies neither here nor there. Carrribean chicken was pretty good.

Service was fine.

I came here on a Sunday for brunch. I love the atmosphere, because it feels so homey. The foods were delicious too! I will definitely come back.

Very good restaurant, not cheap, but the price-performance ratio is very good. The waitress greeted us warmly at reception and the service was excellent. The steaks were exactly as requested (medium) and the side dishes were excellent. Likewise, the citizens and the fish are perfectly prepared and have an excellent taste. The whole ambience of the restaurant is very appealing and built in the style of an old bunker from the 2nd World War from an English perspective. The whole place is right on the runway of the airport and planes pass the windows almost all the time. There is also a beer garden and a disco for the late evening. I will definitely be back. There is free parking in front of the restaurant.

Ehh. Not bad but just an ordinary menu in a cute place.

Off the beaten path, high five delicious pot roast sandwich and 57th fries like no other, exceptional !!!

Great food and we love watching the planes take off and land.

I came on Sunday and I wasn't aware that it was brunch buffet. Buffet was the only option, which I disliked. I was not told of the cost per person which at $30 is a ripoff. Then worst of all, the food was absolutely trash. Everything was cold. No taste, too much salt. Cheap ingredients. Most items look and taste like frozen microwavable grocery. No variety on real food. I feel robbed and will never return. Would not recommend at all.

Didn't really eat there but the ambience is lovely. A nice and historic place to spend a good summer evening. Totally recommend sitting by the patio!

I had the ribeye and the duck and they were amazing! They're complimentary biscuits are the best I have ever had! Then we had a blast on the Dancefloor afterwards and the fire pits outside create a wonderful ambience. Our waitress was very experienced and polite.

Good salad & love the facility & location. Outside service was average.

Hidden Gem!!! Food is excellent and atmosphere / vibe was great. Great place to relax with friends and dance if you desire.

They did a good job with our group of 11.
We sat outside and got to enjoy the planes flying in.
the DJ was nice enough to play a special request for my 6-year-old niece
I would have given five stars but some of the food was cold when it came out.
I raved to everybody about the macaroni and cheese and all were disappointed because it wasn't served hot

Generally speaking, I don't expect much when I go to a 'themed' place that offers dinner and dancing, but I am continually impressed by 57th Fighter Group. I keep expecting less, but they just keep on exceeding my expectations! We went for a special occasion and I had a flat out spectacular meal: my steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection, my wife LOVED her salmon salad, the sides were spot-on, I mean REALLY exceeded my expectations! Oh, and then we danced the night away with a crowd that was as diverse as humanly possible: old folks shaking a hip replacement to college kids having a ball! The DJ/music was less than our fav, but who cared - we had so much fun dancing when the music was right and people-watching with our happy bellies when the song didn't make us happy!

I ordered a steak, medium rare. I was told that they were out of the medium rare but I could have a medium instead. I ordered the hummus. Beatiful patio, nice atmosphere, but the kitchen and service left a lot to be desired.

Great food, great atmosphere great service. If you fly in to Epps aviation they will drive you over and pick you up.Plan on staying much to see here. Never disappointed I have eaten here several times

Food was great but the thing I loved the most was the ambiance. I felt like I was in a military club from WWII. Service was great. And if you like watching the planes take off and land there's no better place to go.

Went with family before my daughter took a discovery flight at the airport next door. Service was good and staff was polite. Food was mediocre (not memorable for quality or lack thereof).

The experience was pleasant, but not one that will make me drive thirty miles to relive, although I may stop in again to have a beer and snack on the patio and watch planes take off and land if I'm in the area.

Food was great very nice atmosphere But the waiter was as rude as could be

Super neat place! Definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice. Staff was very friendly and attentive! Only minor complaint was the price of my drink was a little high for the quality of it. But def not a deal breaker for me!

We go there to have dinner, but as much so to dance on Friday and Saturday nights, very disappointed in the music lately, the D J doesn't seem to play the right dance music, to much rap and not enough free style dance music, I know you can't please everyone so I asked several other people and they all say the same. I realize that is not the restrauntes main divas of business but it is there for people to enjoy, so it should be done correct,

I love their beer cheese soup and their brunch on Sundays is spectacular.

Had a very good experience at this restaurant . The service was excellent, was even able to bring in our dog to be with us so did not remain in the car. Able to do this because the area was not packed with people at this time. Enjoyed the Food and Spirits. And if you sit on the outside you get to be right there by the runway for Peachtree DeKalb airport and get treated to aircraft taxiing and taking off.
