Its $3 Dollar Cafe folks. Great wings (I like the lemon pepper), good sandwiches (chicken philly is Dad's fav) and great fries - thick steak cut fries, & other bar type food. It's a sports bar with food. Pretty good beer selection, lots of tvs, tables too close, & yes it can get loud. It delivers what you should expect. More

Tried the 3 Dollar Cafe Jr. (new in Tucker)... and it was a terrible disappointment. Service was horrible, the waitress seemed like we were a bother to her. I guess they hate having to walk up and down the stairs to the upstairs patio bar all day? Beer orders was wrong, food took forever... typical bad experience... Made worse by... More

Really yummy food. I suggest the "Chicken and cheese sandwich" and "lemon pepper wings". Very good. Also, great drinks. The atmosphere is fun. Huge tvs with every sport you could think of. A little too loud for my taste though. I felt like I had to scream at the people at my table in order for them to hear me.... More

Lived in the area 15 years, back when there were more neighborhood places. For wings, 3 Dollar and Buffalo's Cafe were the best. Sadly, both are down to a few locations and Buffalo's has sold out to corporate america. I think someone is protesting about this in New York. For my money, 3 Dollar is the best ever. A must... More

I've seen a few reviews about bad service, which is a shame because it's always great when we go there. The wings are AMAZING, best around by a long way. Service is fairly typical - nothing special but nothing bad, and the atmosphere is down to earth (your food will come in a lovely plastic woven basket and hand towels... More

I was there with my family and my sister's family, a total of 8 people. The waitress looked and acted like we were a bother and screwed up our order. When we complained and asked to see a manager not only did no one of authority come to see what we needed but the waitress avoided us the whole rest... More

I visited Three Dollar Café in Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA on May 8th 2011 to celebrate Mothers Day with my Mom and my Brother. We have been coming to this location since the 1990’s about every other month. The food is always good at Three Dollar, and the service is too… but not on this occasion. We saw the waitress... More
