Pho noodle soup (horrible), Bun (noodle bowls), grape leaf wrapped meat

I have been to this place 2 times over the last couple of months, and after each time, I left with a horrible after-taste in my mouth and numerous stomach issues. After reading some reviews and watching the CBS evening news, I found out exactly why I came home sick after each of my visits in the Grape Leaf Grill. Firstly, the service is absolutely unacceptable. I've been to a lot of restaurants (Cheese cake factory, Com Grill, Ted's Montana Grill, Capital Grill, etc.), all of which have amazing or average service. The servers in Grape Leaf Grill lack the inspiration and experience to adequately serve their customers. They are completely unattentive to the needs and desires of the diners. On my visits, it took almost an hour before the food arrived to my table. Each time I ordered my dish (Rice with grilled pork), they gave me noodles with grilled pork. Why they always made this mistake is beyond my comprehension. It did not help that all of their noodle dishes have peanuts in them. Unfortunately, I am deathly allergic to peanuts. When they returned with my correct order, I found remnants of peanuts mixed in with the meat and vegetables on the rice. Customarily, rice dishes do not contain any peanuts. I realized that they did not re-prepare my order completely. Instead, they recycled ingredients from my old order and put it in my new order. My only wish is that I never revisited that place after the first time because the second time I ate there, it turned out even worse. The aftermath left me shaken and bedridden for almost a week with symptoms associated with explosive bowel movements and vomitting. I implore to my fellow diners -- don't bring your loved ones here. I am of elderly age and have numerous grandchildren who I would not (even in my worst nightmares) bring anywhere within the vicinity of the Grape Leaf Grill.

• Pros: none
• Cons: a waste of money (you might need to check up on your health insurance plan before eating here)

Stay Safe and Stay Away!

This information was on the Q100's radio station and can be found on CBS 47's website (on-line).

The bad inspection was as follows:

1.) Grape Leaf Grill - 54 pts.

2755 Canton Road - Cobb County - Inspection date - 2/15/07

The report says there was moldy food in the freezer. Plus, rice, chicken, steak were at unsafe temperatures. Inspectors also found evidence of insects and rodents.

But, then their reinspection was not much better:

Grape Leaf Grill - 58 pts.

2755 Canton Road - Cobb County - Re-inspection date - 2/23/07

The report says there were spoiled avocados and outdated salmon in the refrigerator. Plus, beef, chicken and rice were all at unsafe temperatures.

Stay safe and keep your loved ones safe. I found this information out after dining there. Talk about getting ill that I had exposed my family to these hazardous conditions...shame on me and if you go shame on you!

• Pros: The place is darling and the decor is appealing.
• Cons: Every booth was dirty las time I dined there and then I discovered their poor health dept. ratings...run for you life!

quick service and great food

This place is less than a mile from my office. With more than 20 local restraunts to choose from I'll pick Grape Leaf 90% of the time. The quality of food is excellent and the service is pleasant and prompt.

• Pros: Noodle dishes to write home about
