Snap Thai Fish House in Buckhead:

Qualified pretty good.

It's located in an closed off "atrium" of sorts in an apartment complex with two other restaurants, one Lebanese, one mentions tacos but looks fancy.  We dined outside, the inside had few diners present at 1900 hours.  Our server was a bit nervous, I had ordered wine (half priced wine night) and she struggled to open it, but we laughed with her to make her less nervous, she did an OK job otherwise.

I ordered grouper with "three flavor sauce", which was a bit spicy but I liked it a lot, the sauce.  The grouper was overcooked for me but still OK.  It was $28.  My wife had Maine scallops which she said were not her preference but OK.    A few tables filled up outside in time.  It was quiet.  My wife later commented she prefers Bangkok Thai, a place we frequent for lunch, same owner/chef.  Total without tip was $106.  I left $25.

Driving up there at 6:30 was not terrible, but there was traffic about, duh.  Driving back we hit a frog strangler, some cars had pulled off the road even though the speed limit was 30.  I could still see but had slowed down a lot.

I wish them well but suspect a fancy Thai fusion place kind of hidden is not likely to prosper even in Buckhead (where there is money and a lot of condos and apts).  The valet parking ran me another $11.

Alas, I have no plans to be anywhere near a Whataburger. But cheers to it--I enjoyed them during my long-term stays in El Paso.

Whataburger got bought out by a PE firm from Chicago a couple years back and they've changed a lot of things.

But the one nearest me is still good.  It's also a big hangout for our kids since it's just a couple of blocks from the high school.

I'll likely swing by on 8/8 if it's not too crazy/crowded.  If they'll let me order on the app, it'll be super simple.

That drive sucks.

I'll pay the $30.00.

Today we're going to a place that has them for $1.00/each (every Sunday in the offseason).

That's a really good deal for blue points.

I actually prefer gulf oysters over east coast or west coast oysters, and there's a place near me that sells them for $1/each from 11 AM - 6 PM every day.
