service

  1. Only occasionally have I run into poor service.
  2. Last time we went, we had horribly slow service, but you know, that was one time and I figured we should give it a second chance.
  3. We went with a huge group for a birthday celebration and our server was very accomodating about us adding extra tables as our group grew.
  4. Our waitress was rude, didn't know how to split checks, another waitress did 80% of her work, and we ended up having a disproportionate amount of gratuity added to our checks.
  5. Listen up restaurants - if you focus more on friendly wait staff and less on having a hip wait staff, you'll be much better off.
  6. we just found it and we were surprised how friendly the service was and how we had never heard of it.
  7. Best Burritos, WORST service

  13. As a manager myself, I would have cut my losses and given back gratuity on that check, which is entirely reasonable.
  14. The service was attentive but not annoying.
  15. Raging Burrito's tacos are addictive and I have always had great service for 9 years!
  16. delicious food, super service, fun atmosphere!
  17. The service was also excellent, our server was very friendly and efficient.

Great food, great beer

by Neen16

Had an excellent dinner. The Blackened Tilapia burrito for me and the Fajita Burrito for my husband.

The server was excellent in beer suggestions. We tried out the Allagash White. It was fantastic and our new beer of choice.

We can't wait until we can return and hang out on the patio. The rain took the fun away.

Pineapple salsa and guac is amazing.

I tried it again..

by geek mom

Every time I have eaten at Raging Burrito I find myself very disappointed. Simply stated, there are better places to get your tacos and burritos. The most recent time we visited, the service was very lackluster. Listen up restaurants - if you focus more on friendly wait staff and less on having a hip wait staff, you'll be much better off. The food was decent enough, but the experience (minus the nice interior) left a little to be desired.

The good part? I love the chili con queso - it is brilliant. Also, they're kind enough to validate parking which is pretty handy!

  • Pros: inexpensive, nice design, good dip
  • Cons: unattentive service, so-so food

Raging Burrito is one of my favorite places to eat in Atlanta/Decatur! Their food is really good and very reasonably priced. The ambience is relaxes, the staff is friendly, the patio is large, the draft beer selection is nice (especially now with Fat Tire on draft), and it's a great choice for groups of any size. I especially recommend the pineapple salsa and guacamole!

  • Pros: inexpensive and great
