Read More On Citysearch Mayor of Ponce 6/30/2010 - best sports bar in townThis is my favorite spot to catch a game. The food is awesome--much better than other sports bar's--and well priced. There are tons of great drink selections that are also well priced. And the seating and placement of TVs mean that you can literally watch any combination of games from pretty much anywhere in the restaurant. The staff has always been more than willing to accommodate any channe...

Read More On Citysearch Atownconnoisseur 6/7/2009 - I love this place!Are you looking for a cool bar to go to for drinks or great brunch food then this is your place. With a New Orleans type theme restaurant this restaurant is a great atmosphere and a blast to hang out. Food is reasonably priced and food is delicious. Come check it out- you won't be disappointed.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/26/2009 - Not bad, but not great
I've been here a couple times, and it's been very inconsistent. Sometimes, the food is great. Sometimes, it's just okay. The food and drinks are a bit on the expensive side. It can get crazy on the weekends, but during the week, it can be a ghost town.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/10/2009 - Don't pass it by!Great atmosphere! You'd wouldn't expect all of the ambiance that is with in the walls of this place. I enjoyed the burger and fries. They were hot and the burger was just right. The young lady that served us was great! This is a great place to relax with friends after work.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/26/2009 - Fun place!I went a few weeks ago with a small group of friends. We didn't order any food but the drinks were good. They had a band the night we went that was entertaining. When you are on the top level the band can be a little loud because of the tight quarters. The parking can be somewhat annoying especially if you park in the parking garage across the street. You have to be out by 1am or your car spends ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 10/14/2008 - Great Place for Weekend NightlifeGood food. Great diverse crowd of people. Always pretty busy at nights. Live music and bands play. Inside and outside areas. Pretty good variety of food as well.
Normal cuisine at a reasonable price. The food was plenty and drinks weren't too expensive.
Although, during a busy night it's hard to get a drink at the bar, so you might as well get two while you're up there.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 10/13/2008 - great atmosphere with good food too!Front Page News' patio was a great find. The fountain is very relaxing and creates a great environment for a day date or casual business lunch. The hamburgers were the best in the city and service was prompt and friendly.
Read More On Citysearch klee4685 9/26/2008 - Nice PlaceI like Front Page News for the atmospere and the patio. The food is good, not spectacular, but good. They have great margaritas and a good bar. Sometimes too crowded, especially on weekends, but nice for a week night.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/11/2008 - Great patioA little short on vegetarian options, but fine for a quick lunch or dinner. Very nice patio when it's not too crowded (which unfortunately does happen a lot).
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/3/2008 - Apparently I was wrong!!Apparently my friends told me my review from before was too harsh. I will stand by my "sit at the bar, not a table attitude". I called to find out my bartenders' names. Apparently Danilelle and Matt are the bartenders to have a good time with( again, loud but fun) Servers, I am still iffy about.. I will also suggest the bloody marys(spicy/hot ones). The food is still leaving a bad taste in ...
Read More On Citysearch kermfan 6/23/2008 - Waste of a good patioI've eaten here twice. On both occasions, the service was barely adequate. Even though the restaurant wasn't crowded, I felt like my friend and I were forgotten. The food tastes like it's fresh of the Sysco truck. I guess if you're looking for nothing better than a pretty patio for a few drinks and maybe some bar snacks, it's ok. But definitely not a dining destination.
Read More On Citysearch maurose 6/11/2008 - Nice patio...Horrible food...Horrible ManagementHaving a good understanding of what cajun food should taste like I thought that this place would be a new favorite of mine based on some other reviews. Got there and the patio was very nice!!! Got a drink, not bad. Ordered the salmon dinner...absolutely disgusting. The red beans and rice...worst i've ever had. Oh yeah, I ordered a crab cake for an appetizer...they forgot it. So I decided to send...
Read More On Citysearch djwdir 6/3/2008 - Front Page is Spring in AtlantaFor food, drinks and great patio Front Page news IS springtime. The patio can't be beat. The busy nights are more a bit of a hassle on the patio but the dining room inside stays reasonably quiet until around 10ish. The menu is great, but I must admit, I have so many favorites, I rarely try anything new. While my friends say the new Orleans food is the draw, I prefer the blackened chicken salad an...
Read More On Citysearch MrAbato 4/21/2008 - Even better after 3 years!We just moved back to Atlanta and one of our first nights out we returned to Front Page. We used to go to Front Page before we moved 3 years ago and I am glad to report it is better than ever.
The patio is still fun & festive and the bartenders (some old faces, some new) Seem to always pour a extra strong drink. The food is still fabulous, we had a steak and Jambalaya Like most non-tourist rest...
Read More On Citysearch folyanb 4/16/2008 - Excellent AtmosphereThis a great place for an afterwork drink or a relaxing dinner with friends. The bartenders are friendly, the food is quick and good. The outdoor patio is great in the spring and fall and the pretension level is at a zero.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/17/2008 - bad service worse foodIt is a shame that this place calls itself cajun.It is the farthest thing from it.The food is well below average.
\Personal examples.
They dont devein there shrimp.
Food far to bland to be referred to as cajun/creole
At times snippy service
food prepared apathetic and indifferentI give it one star for the patio where you can enjoy over priced cheap beer.
AVOID
Read More On Citysearch crankyyanky 3/6/2008 - Brunch anyone?This is a great place to have brunch especially when the weather is nice and you can sit out on the patio. The entire staff is very friendly and the waiters/waitresses are very knowledgeable about the different meals. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food and for the area. There is a covered parking deck right next door, that gets crowded quick.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/31/2008 - Front Page is the top of the lineFor the best in food and environment, check out front page news. They have some of the best food but the setting of the resturant make you feel like you are on the Island of Jamaica. Very nice!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/23/2007 - Delicious FoodFront Page News is one of my favorite places to eat. I always go there for a meal when visiting Little 5. All the food I have tried here is great. This includes the burgers, salmon sandwich, muffelattas, and their seafood gumbo is outstanding!! (order it with a side of rice!) The only draw back is the service is not up to par some of the time (seem like they don't care about you at all), and ...
Read More On Citysearch BNSupra 9/14/2007 - Need better serviceLove my Sunday morning brunch so when Front Page News was introduced as a brunch location, I took some friends July 1 to check it out. I remembered having been there before in the evening and the service was appalling. It was Saturday night so all was forgiven. Sunday Brunch was the same. The food was good but it was cold and when they ran out of Homefries, they brought me grits without informing...

Read More On Citysearch jcagsu 11/2/2006 - Good food at reasonable prices with great customer service.I think I said it all in the title of this review. We like eating at Front Page News before going to the Horizon Theater. We can arrive a little more than an hour before the show, have a great meal at reasonable prices and their great service allows us to be at the theater in time for the show (this is great during the week after work). Also, did I mention the they have free and ample parking ...
Read More On Citysearch la_miller 7/7/2006 - Love this placeWe've been eating there for over 5 years. We feel more comfortable there then any place in Atlanta. There just aren't many places in Atlanta where you can talk and be heard, and still enjoy great music and food. A real piece of pre-Katrina New Orleans .
We love the variety, and we really like the value; the prices are reasonable. The patio is the best in town and theres tons of parking (free.) ...
Read More On Citysearch fallbrit 4/15/2006 - Dining oasis under the starsThe place to hang out on the patio for summer, all winter long we wait for the opportunity to eant FPN's Jambalaya, Gumbo burgers and pastas on the perfect patio. We like the food here but we really come for the opportunity to sit on the great patio and enjoy summer in Atlanta. Sit outside, have a great burger and relax. Perfect.
Be sure to try: Ettoufee, Crescent City Chicken, Great Big Easy B...
Read More On Citysearch andabe123 4/7/2006 - SupriseI had not been to Front Page in sometime, after a bad meal several years ago. I went back recently and was very suprised the food is not what it was, its much better, very exciting and the lovely crowds are still here. There now is a large menu with ton of specials, its worth trying.
Read More On Citysearch rachvalley 4/6/2006 - Big EasyAfter eating at Sabroso last week we found parking so easy we decided to try Front Page News which shares the other end of the same building. Another hit. The food was as different as possible from the tapas bar but excellent also, I had the big easy burger and my girlfriend had the ettoufee. Both portions were generous and prepared just right. The burger was huge and juicy, much better than the ...
Read More On Citysearch pineshandi 4/6/2006 - READ MECool atmosphere, service can be a little slow if you are sitting on the patio, so lay back and soak up rays (order two pitchers at a time). Been there 5 times and the service is much better Mon Friday. Brunch is slower but no better place in town to waste an afternoon. Right up the street from L5P shopping. If you get seated near the front part of the dining room, watch out for the sun at happy ...
Read More On Citysearch itchyrashid 4/5/2006 - FPN's ABCGo early if you want fast service. Gets packed after noon but still worth waiting for brunch. There's nothing you won't like about it! Late night is great ttoo!
Read More On Citysearch sharonsweet 4/5/2006 - KICK ASS STAFF AND FOODI have never met a better bartender in my life than Danni at FPN. She is the best-drinks, attitude, more attitude and all!
My favorite dish there right now is the blackened salmon. I love the fact that there are special changes every day.
Great neighborhood hang out. Did I mention Danni the bar tender?
Read More On Citysearch ronniehansell 4/5/2006 - The bestThis is where I go when I have a few hours to just chill. It's also where I bring friends who visit from out of town. There is no better patio in town. Food is always excellent, service is laid back and friendly. Something about this restaurant always feels special. You come here twice and you feel like a regular. I recommend it highly.

Read More On Citysearch by Pia R. at Judy's Book 3/17/2006 - Win some, lose someSunday brunch can be great depending on the service. A few meals here with a group of 5+ went well good food, service, etc, others were disasters with lost food orders and no remorse. It is hit or miss.
Read More On Citysearch vetboy25 2/13/2006 - Great restaurant!This is a great Cajun-style restaurant in Little Five points. The food is excellent. I especially like the chicken fingers and the Ribs. They have a full bar, and the bar is really big. It's a great place to hang out after work...nice, laid-back atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable. On Mondays, they have Texas Hold-em tournaments with just a $45 buy-ins and it's a lot of fun! This is one of...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/10/2005 - Solid All Around ExperienceFront Page is a great neighborhood bar with solid food. A great place to take visitors as it always seems cool. Only downside is that they can't seem to hire good hosts/hostesses. I've had to wait to be seated on several occasions. Once you get a table, it is worth it though.
Read More On Citysearch likeprairie 7/2/2005 - Slow service and cold mashers.This place seemed to have a great atmosphere, but the service was slow and our server was completely inattentive and ambiguous about our dinning experience. Mashers were cold, and it was obvious that our plates had been sitting in the back for God knows how long. Even though our server had maybe 3-4 tables in his section, he was running around like he was trying to find a cure for cancer. Over...
Read More On Citysearch macopa 6/17/2005 - Want good food in L5P? Try the Vortex!Worst food and service EVER!
It took over an hour for us to get food here, on a SLOW afternoon. Server was unattentive and mostly only paid attention to a couple of guys at bar (must have been regulars cause they certainly werent cute!) Regulars got food in 5 minutes, ours took 45+, mgr didn't seem to care. Food was burnt and cold.
Read More On Citysearch gtguy18 5/5/2005 - Great food in Little 5 Points!Finally a restaurant with great food in L5P. Every time I go back this place gets better. With cute fun servers, good grub especially the ribs and Sunday brunch and bar hopping over to Tijuana Garage next door, what more could you ask for.

Read More On Citysearch maggiemay123456 7/13/2004 - Great MealI had been looking forward to going here for quite some time and it totally lived up to my expectations. The food was really good and presented nicely. There were good choices on the menu that it was hard to decide what to choose from. The server was attentive as well and friendly. I think it is one of the best places to hang out in Atlanta
Read More On Citysearch annabr25 7/13/2004 - Patio fun, improved attitudeThis place must have new managment or something. last time the place looked great but service was so so. A year has gone by and even the hostess seems to love being here. The staff was friendly and made great suggestions; The mussels primavera was the special appetizer and we ended up getting a second order! Try the grilled fish and even the prime rib was great. A total suprise since this is a ta...

Front Page News in L5P is even better than the original. We eat here at least once a week and it gets better and better, the new chef cooks really wonderful specials like last night I had a grilled grouper in a wine reduction that was out of this world. My boyfriends says the Jambalaya is better tha...

Don't come here looking for spectatular food but it isn't bad by any means. The parking is great and it is conviently located near other L5P destinations. FPN is an ideal spot to start a L5P bar crawl in other words. Nice change of pace from the local dive/urban...
Read More On Citysearch clincher 11/10/2003 - Unique for Little 5The food is not your norm for the area. The menu contains a nice variety with a reasonable price. We have eaten here on three occasions and the service was great and consistant. The patio is incredible and the general atmosphere is top notch. Nice Martini menu too!
