Sunday brunch with the boys!

by goodpurposes at Citysearch

The food is very good here. Nothing spectacular but it is a great place to go for brunch. A very good idea for a weekend morning with the friends. Also has a fun patio!

• Pros: Polite servers.
• Cons: Parking! Yikes!

best bloody marys in town!

by rhphillips at Citysearch

I live for the sunday morning we feel like being slightly indulgent. we'll head over to Front Page News and have bloody marys on the back deck, in front of the fireplace.. and just cycle through the menu. eggs, bacon, artichoke dip.. what ever we want- we can normally find it on the menu. fun, relaxing...good menu. highly recommend it.

• Pros: great food, great atmosphere

Great Brunch

by folyanb at Citysearch

When you think of brunch in atlanta you should think Front page. The deck is great and sunny. Even in bad weather the covered deck is available so outdoor eating never seems to be a problem. Waits can be long after 1pm so come early. We like the Eggs Sardo and the Cheese steak omlet which includes an entire New York strip steak inside it. Also great for dinner on weekdays, fair prices, but not cheap $8.00-20.00, Food is almost always better than expected and the servers are relaxed and nice.

• Pros: Great food, atmosphere, music
• Cons: Parking is $5.00 unless you park on street

10 years and still on our list!

by MrAbato at Citysearch

We have been coming here for over 10 years and it gets better all the time. Heated patio. Big screen TVs. New menu that kept all out old favorties. I can see myself hanging a Front Page in 20 years! You may love most of the menu but when you are "having more than one" you must try the corn dog nuggets, old school amusement park food at its best. Stay away from the Onion rings, not that great. Tops in Midtown before a club or after a show!

Great for Brunch

by PJ79 at Citysearch

I have to say my friend and I have eatten at Front Page a dozen or so times for lunch and Sunday Brunch. The food and service was great each time. Love the band that plays on Sunday it truly makes me feel like I'm back home on the gulf. Others I have recommended the restuarant to also felt that it was really good.

No, No and No again

by ladieswholunch at Citysearch

Don't do it, you'll be sorry. The sevice is S-L-O-W and the food not fresh by the time it drags up to the table. The spicy things are too spicy and everything else is below average. To top it off, the pigeons fly aound you as you eat. Yum, yum, pigeon poo in my jumbalya!

• Pros: No Thank You!
• Cons: Everything

Food was terrible

by denospam at Citysearch

Just came from lunch at Front Page News. The food was terrible.

I ordered a burger and it was really bad. Tasted like it was a previously frozen pre-made patty - not good. This was the worst burger I've had in a long time. (The side of red beans and rice wasn't very good either, but not as bad as the burger.)

With so many better places to go for lunch, I won't go back to Front Page News - and suggest you think twice before going.

• Pros: Validate parking in lot across the street ($2 charge)
• Cons: Food was TERRIBLE. Worst buger I've had in a long time.

not cajun but still good

by lcjones887 at Citysearch

I really enjoy going to Front Page News. I would say it's not even close to being a cajun restaurant though. The service is really bad, I've been there more then several times and have never gotten anything close to good service i.e. always have to wait for refils and once you get your food the server never comes back to see if you need anything else. but I really enjoy the brunch on the weekend and they have good burgers.

WARNING!! NOT REAL CAJUN FOOD!!! GO TO Pappadeaux!!!

by Cristyles at Citysearch

Front Page is not good and is over priced. I would bet that 80% of the people who left a good review have never had authentic cajun/creole food, and/or are allergic to spices, don't like salt, ordered a sandwich or hummus, or they just don't have refined taste buds. Oh but the environment is great...just go to sit, drink but don't eat.

I went to Front Page 01/29/08 and I ordered the Cajun Jambalaya Egg Rolls, Buffalo Shrimp BLT Wrap and a side of Red Beans & Rice. The Cajun Jambalaya Egg Rolls were not good. The Jambalaya inside was really what made them taste bad. The Buffalo Shrimp BLT Wrap was ok. The Red Beans & Rice were horrible. This is one of those places you go if your really drunk and you dont care what you eat OR if you want fake Cajun Food. My question to the restaurant is how do you mess up Jambalaya and/or Red Beans & Rice??? Sad. If you dont like authentic Cajun/Creole food, seasoning and simply good food, go here, you will feel right at home.

I recommend Pappadeaux, its the closest you're going to get to authentic Cajun/Creole food without going to Louisiana. Plus their prices are in the same range as over priced, nasty FrontPage. If you want to pay $13.00 for etouffee go to Pappadeaux PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!

• Pros: Good eniviroment
• Cons: Horrible food! Over priced!! Over priced horrible food!!
