Spudz Tavern

Spudz Tavern sits in Sandy Plains Village at 4651 Woodstock Rd. in Roswell, Ga. The result of the love and effort of Wade and Jolene Duckett, this place has a lot more to offer than meets the eye.

Spudz opened up on June 15, 2009, and hasn't slowed down since.

The menu offers a variety of starters (I like the fried pickles), salads, soups and wraps (the favorite being the Meat in a Sheet, Black Angus beef with all the trimmings!) and, as you might guess a large selection of baked potatoes. You can see the menu by clicking here.
I ordered the fried pickles and a huge Texas Spud. The Texas is a baked potato with a generous portion of your choice of chili, BBQ beef or pork with butter, green onion cheddar and sour cream. I chose BBQ pork. That was as good or better than any stuffed potato I've ever had.

The food at Spudz is very good, the service is friendly and quick, and the atmosphere is wonderful (dark wood, soft indirect lighting, pleasant angles). Those elements would seemingly be enough to carry the business. Wade and Jolene have taken things a step further.
Meet Sam. Sam is one of three servers that I met on my visit. Wade and Jolene are owners who "get it" when it comes to the hiring and treatment of staff members. It is very easy for us patrons to tell when an employee is unhappy. We become yet one more obstacle for them to hurdle in order to finish their shift.

Not so here. I spoke with Sam, Jamie and Lindsey, and got the same impression every time. These folks like their job. That translates into good service.

Give this place a try. Check out the events they offer on their web page. They offer live music, dancing, Open Mic Atlanta and Casino Night to name a few.

See you there!
