Eater

The Gunshow is a must for anyone living in or visiting Atlanta. Here you'll have a hard time deciding between the Classic West Coast Burger or the mouth-watering Double Cheese Burger . Read more

Eater

Eater National 38 member: Keep a sharp eye out for chef de cuisine Joseph Ward’s tweaks on standards, like a reinvented beef Wellington with crisp pastry or his glorious, gloppy "West Coast Burger ."

Adam Tornes

Really excellent from a former Top Chef runner-up. Delicious cocktails and food with unique dim-sum style serving. Only seat people on the hour so get reservations far in advance

James Royal-Lawson

We said yes to everything that was shown to us. The pace was frantic, and the food incredible. Save space for the warm banana pudding !

Eater

You don't need a ticket to this Gunshow - just your appetite! The menu changes daily but you can't go wrong with their West Coast burger and banana pudding . Read more

Marcus McDaniel

Incredible. Prepare for an experience with chefs bringing dishes around. If you pass something up it won't come back so take a look at the menu when you sit down and get an idea of what you want.

Eater

You don't order from the menu, but by taking dishes off of a tray or cart that's passed around by the chef who cooked the food. It changes often and has had pork skin risotto and a West Coast burger .

Kirstie Castaneira

menu is different each week, but all was incredible. the cooks bring around each option ready-to-eat and you can say Y/N. awesome experience

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Fabulous restaurant . Menu changes frequently. Great staff and really fun vibe. A little loud .

Eater

Kevin Gillespie’s flagship isn’t a place for quiet conversation: it’s loud , it’s bright , it’s participatory, and it’s arguably the most creatively energized restaurant in the Southeast. Read more

Try as much as you can and go with a group. It's fun to share each dish because you'll end up getting a lot of dishes. Don't miss out on dessert : the play on cookies and cream is otherworldly.

Tasting Table

In a nod to modern dim sum , Gunshow's chefs themselves (Gillespie plus two other talented chefs ) cook, and then bring out, creative, ever-changing dishes to each table, making for a great show. Read more

Gunshow features a format that is the first of its kind in Atlanta: You don't order from the menu, but by taking dishes off of a tray or cart that's passed around by the chef who cooked the food. Read more

Tatiana Han

Must order the banana pudding straight from the oven. Think 2-3 dishes per person (not including dessert ) when sharing!

Nay

This resto is not for you if you like to check out a menu ahead of time, & don't have an open mind/palate. Menu changes daily, but if the pork belly , veal or mushroom chorizo is on the menu, get it.

David Street

It is the best food in ATL! It is loud , crowded , table will not be ready when you arrive but it is worth it!!!

Steve Schilling

We really enjoyed this concept and the food but will be able to enjoy it more next time. The food can come pretty fast so pace yourself. Don't be afraid to ask a chef to come back. It can be loud .

Kelly P

8pm during the week was a great time for a reservation . We got to try almost the entire menu. Desserts were amazing!

AJC

Go with the flow: The dishes you were eyeing on the menu may not be the first to arrive, but they eventually will show up. Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Chef Kevin Gillespie’s dim sum-style restaurant in Glenwood Park serves rustic , New American cuisine from carts and trays making their way around the dining room.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

The West Coast burger , a classic Double-Double, was layered with sweet caramelized onions , tender beef , and gooey American cheese . Read more

Jennifer

People hype the banana pudding but it was my least favorite. To be fair , everything else was amazing. Like this crudo .

Jane Le

Menu changes weekly, and it's always delicious! Go with a small group of people so you can try everything.

Brinda

Everything I tried was good here. . Really cool watching the chefs create the dishes

Jessica Shim

Bon Appetit says: seven chefs work furiously to plate and then present their food to the tables. Chefs come around with their dishes, and you can take the plate or pass

Atlanta Food & Wine Festival

Alissa Marcolongo

W. Peter

Must try in Atlanta. Very unique concept coupled with excellent food.

Julie

Fantastic dishes all night long! And nice kitchen dudes! Banana pudding as desert !

Forest Anderson

Excellent food, concept and service! I'll likely stop in every time I'm in the area from here on out.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

There is a menu, but instead of ordering from it, dishes cycle through the dining room on cutting boards, trays, or carts every 45 minutes to an hour. Read more

Matt Labbe

If you miss something it'll probably come back around in 90 minutes. Don't pass up anything with pork !

Alex Ravenel

Come with four people so you can try everything.

Ben Oliver

Be prepared to get one of everything if you're in a group of 4+. Can't really go wrong with anything here.

Arma Benoit

Best ladies room ever! Tampons, dental floss and breath mints . Oh and the food and general concept are pretty great, too.

Rob

Old Fashioned is not to be missed!

Caroline Schulweis

Good old fashion and banana pudding dessert .

Meredith

Great concept and amazing food. However, we hadn't even ordered alcohol and barely had gotten water when food started coming. Slow it down a touch.

Jackie Garson Howard

Best restaurant in Atlanta. Fabulous food and experience!!!

Bonus points if you order everything on the menu.

The chicken-fried lobster (yeah, I know) here is THE business.
