Iron Age Korean Steakhouse - Conyers - Conyers (GA)

1 /5 Mik Nik: Middle of the day. Place is not busy. Takes over 20 minutes to get a seat. Another 20 minutes for a server to arrive. They have 5 or 6 wait staff walking around and only one working (Ally) . They dont even ask if you need anything. They would benefit if they had actual adults as part of the wait staff not a bunch of teenagers. Always nice to see hair in the food.

2 /5 Kane Martin: went here for a christmas party - party of 16 we had what appeared to be a server for our entire party - the hostess would occasionally help quite a few of our party had never had korean bbq so they didnt know what to expect. But with only 1 server who was simply "getting" things. The experience was very bad even for an experienced diner - I had to constantly ask for items which may or may not be received at the table they were out of tin foil for the cheesy corn. They would take the hot plate off the burner over a persons head! The meat was very fatty and took forever to get orders. basically it was cook your own meat at the tables. With whatever marinade you ordered and the table salt/pepper. No soy paste, tofu, hikama. There was a table salad(mostly cabbage). I did actaully get some pickled radish. Such a bad experience for the group. They probably wont be back. This is a quick place - where the cook is using a gas cooker - not charcoal. We all had the all you can eat option at i think 32$ a person. Plus drinks. Atmosphere was decent - dim lighting, so it can be a good date if the service and food were better. Total bill was around 700 bucks! And i think most everyone would have enjoyed Wendys better! This was not good.

5 /5 thyblacksmith: Good selection of proteins and nice sides. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Nice, chill atmosphere; the lighting, decor, and music videos playing on the walls via projectors.

1 /5 abrielle rock: Im a HUGE fan of iron age, Ive probably been more times than I can count between Duluth AND Conyers. Though I primarily go to the one in Duluth, the one in Conyers is so much more convenient of a drive because I live closer. When it first opened, it actually wasnt bad at all! Over time, this place has gone down the drain. Today, for the new year, I dined with 3 others. When we were seated, our server took our orders for drinks. It then took him 10-15 minutes to bring us our drinks and starters (rice, rice cakes, japchae, etc). After that it took him another 10 minutes to bring us our first meats. Im NEVER the kind of person to be angry with someone for taking too long, as I work in customer service and understand that things can back up a little bit, and I know servers are required to take care of MULTIPLE tables. However, this server had 4 tables, including mine and hardly tended to them. The restaurant itself was not even a quarter of the way full. None of his tables could get a check in from in except for when he was walking by and they had to grab his attention to ask for something. Myself and the three others I dined with asked for refills multiple times, along with asking for more sides, only getting refills after we asked what Im assuming was the manager. The "manager" sent over another server who had one table to get us refills, and even that took about 10 minutes. She gave us the excuse that they were understaffed today and things just got really busy... there were max 6 tables with people sitting in them, they were not busy at all. She took our cups back into the kitchen and he came out that 10 minutes later with the drinks. We asked AGAIN for more sides and still never got them. When we ordered our next set of meat (he asked when he brought us our drinks), the grill was placed on the fire and it took him ANOTHER 10-15 minutes to bring that order out. The grill had started to char with nothing on it from it just sitting there, thats how long it took. And since it was new years day, there was a mandatory gratuity added to the ticket, which I completely understand, and wouldnt have minded paying if our server had actually done his job. But between ignoring all of his tables and standing up at the bar talking, he didnt do a very good job. Even after multiple complaints, nothing was done. We for sure didnt get our $32 per person price of meat, hell not even our sides. From now on Ill gladly take the drive to Duluth for Iron Age. Theyre always packed and never have a problem keeping up with their tables. I strongly advise you to do the same. :) side note: raw brisket fell on the floor next to our table from the plate we were brought, from it being poorly stacked and placed. it was not cleaned up for the rest of our stay (30+ minutes)

1 /5 Carson Jackson: Food was decent enough, the main issue was that my party of 4 waited 15-20 minutes after first being seated and served drinks for anything, all of our cups were bone dry, no ice or anything before they were refilled, all of the sides (rice, rice cakes, kimchi etc.) were empty and only got refilled after asking another server twice, and that doesnt include the kimchi (which was asked for on 3 separate occasions) and never gotten. At no moment had our server stopped by without being asked , and even when he was asked, things like a simple refill took 10-15 minutes. The reason given for this by another server was that the restaurant was busy due to it being New Years Day, at most our server had 4 tables to serve (the restaurant was maybe a quarter full if that). The server was in no way qualified to work in that profession, and the fact that he received an auto gratuity ($15 for myself and my girlfriend, and $20 from her brother and his girlfriend) for simply “working” on New Years (Working for him is apparently sitting talking to other servers or waiting at the bar for 20+ minutes) is unreasonable. The Iron Age in Duluth, GA is a much better experience.
