Needs an upgrade

by DowntownCharlotte24

I agree with both previous reviews. Waay outdated games upstairs along with some old TV's. Upgrade both and I wouldn't have had anything bad to say and would change the stars to 5. Still had a great time either way.

Don't put a lot of money on your player card upfront...you'll realize like I did that the game selections are weak!

• Pros: Atmosphere is great for a big game...huge draft beers
• Cons: Old TV's, Old Games

What a cool place!

by berrdawg

I had the polar opposite experience, all of the reviews I have read state that there is only one big screen. I counted Two large (over 14') HD big screens as well as over 8 large HD Plasma televisions. I found the service to be excellent, our server Dee was very informative and timely. I had the Chicken Tenders and not only were they a good value, there was more than enought to go around. We were there on a Thursday night when they tape an Atlanta Falcons television show, so we got to meet and get autographs from new Falcons QB Matt Ryan. If you can't have fun in this place, you aren't a real sports fan!

The worst overall dining experience in my adult life

by tmorris301

I'm a Buckhead native and resident for 28 years and had never been to ESPN zone until a buddy's birthday party led me through their doors for what quickly turned into the worst overall dining experience in my adult life.

50 low-definition tubes (showing only 1 game...DURING THE NCAA TOURNAMENT) in a windowless building full of screaming kids serving microwavable dishes from the world's worst waitress all while paying a parking attendant $10 to NOT Valet your car doesn't make for a good review. A 6 year old who eats crayons could run a better establishment than the Atlanta ESPN Zone.

I enjoy spicy food, but the wings were just microwaved chicken meat with some sort of "fire" sauce dumped on them. Barely edible. I also felt like I should have been watching Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird on these throwback TVs. I mean, you are affiliated with ESPN, right? Spring for some new TVs. At least Taco Mac has flat screens...and High Definition TVs at that. This is 2008!!

The people in the main room looked like they were eating in the smoking lounge of Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. They all looked ashamed to be there and couldn't wait to see the sun again. The "large screen TV" in the bar that everyone raves about is standard in most people's game rooms by now.

Not only that, but the game room upstairs is lame...You're kids will laugh at the outdated games.

I cannot say enough bad things about this place, but if you like slow and miserable service, headaches from staring and small TVs with no variety, and food that will make you sick in the dirty bathrooms; than this place is for you.

I would rather eat Taco Bell on the cold slab in my dead grandmother's garage than EVER step foot in this "establishment" again.

PS I only gave it one star because negative stars are not an option.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Everything
