We had a waitress named Marissa. She was wonderful and made us feel like she was family We loved that!! She made sure we were satisfied with everything. This restaurant should be glad that she is the one who represents their great service She represents the quality they have Exceptionally. Marissa is beautiful not only on the outside but inside as well, we could tell because of the service she gives. I hope the restaurant will see our review and consider giving her a raise. I can assure them they can afford it because we will definitely be coming back as regular customers

I can’t say enough about this place. My first time here and I’m definitely coming back the next time I’m in GA. Everything was awesome. Shout out to the bartender, T. Thanks T. Her customer service was definitely top shelf. (see what I did there.)

Not only was the food good, but instantly when I walked in with my family to celebrate my birthday, I was greeted and welcomed by the staff here. Specifically our server, Olamide. She had great energy and great suggestions on what me and my family could order here. The seafood boil and sweet potato fries were actually so fire and full of flavor. I would come here again sometime soon!

My husband and I came into H&R for lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Olamide was awesome! She answered all of our questions and was very attentive. This place is never crowded and one hidden jem in Snellville! We will definitely be back soon and hope that we encounter the same service and waitress!

I was SO disappointed when the location near me in Lawrenceville closed. Snellville is not close to me, but I get there occasionally. The food is always consistently good, and prices are much more reasonable than similar restaurants. We got prompt and attentive service from Latrice.

This was my first time eating here and I was NOT disappointed. The restaurant is clean, spacious and the atmosphere was nice and welcoming. My server Olamide was attentive, informative, pleasant and very personable. The Crab Bites were delicious. I loved the Po Boy sauce they were served with. At the recommendation of Olamide, I had the Shell Shocker boil, spicy with seasoned garlic butter and I added a side of ramen noodles. The boil was seasoned well and portioned perfectly well. I didn't eat most of the noodles. They were a tad bit too salty for my preference but the rest of the boil was great. I've passed this restaurant several times in the past, I'm happy today I decided to stop in. I'll definitely be back.
