Just a few comments from our first visit (Saturday)...
1) The parking area is pretty rough - and it seems like it's dangerous for some reason. There were kids everywhere and parents who didn't tell them to be careful. Too many drivers trying to back into their spots. Seems like a potential safety issue (it wasn't even that busy)

2) Not stroller/wheelchair friendly. We brought our son in a stroller, and probably won't ever do that again. Parking seemed chaotic and we had to pick up the stroller a few times to get up the multiple sets of stairs. Needs a ramp. There were other people with strollers too... in general not baby friendly

3) Everything was a little dusty, and it was pretty sunny (6:30pm)... I can imagine how uncomfortable it will be when it actually warms up in Atlanta -- standing in line for a Hankook Taco instead of driving to their restaurant down the street... probably not unless you don't know you have that choice. Seems like it should be better paved and perhaps needs a covered area to hide in the shade...

We ended up walking around for 10 minutes, and then leaving without eating... these are just some comments to hopefully improve the place... as we were excited about the concept!

Thanks for your comments -- geeeeek!

Looks like you have some constructive ideas. (Definitely sounds like a shaded area would be a good addition!)
