Has Potential. This is a bad sports bar. No TVs behind the bar. You have to turn around to see anything. Most of the TVs are pieces of crap from 1998. The tables and chairs in teh bar area are uneven and everything moves on the table. I was in the 'booth' part recently and it took the waitress at least 40 mins to change the TV to my game. She had the remote the entire time. Also, chargnig extra for jalapenos and dressing and everything else is overkill. No ketchup on the tables.

It is kid friendly with a cool little game room. The food is pretty good. More good than bad.

Best advice I can give...buy some TVs made this century.

Meh.. Summit's is a clone of Taco Mac. (Same owners.) Unfortunately, they cloned some of the bad parts. Their wings are horrible (just like Taco Mac.) They also nickle and dime you for everything. (Want hot sauce on those wings, that's an extra charge.) Chili is OK, but needs to be hotter temperature-wise. Burgers are just OK. The wife likes the Reuban, says its really good. They also have the best beer selection I've seen in ATL. (Who else has Kronenberg on tap.) Fish and Chips is actually pretty good, but needed a little more time in the fryer, perhaps. Onion RIngs are awesome, but the sauce needs to go. The "Bowl" idea could've been great, but fell far short. Service is kinda marginal, also.

Suggestions for owners/managers: Get your own wing sauces that aren't the same as the crappy Taco Mac sauces. Loose the "upcharges". Put more TVs in. Re-tool the Bowl recipes. Get your staff more motivated. Make sure outgoing food is actually hot. Do these things, and you'll be in great shape..
