Graduation & birthday party was given for my grandson. From start to finish, everything was prepared as stated. There were no complaints about the food or the service. VIP was provided and brought smiles to a young fella day. Games were all in-service and not down or delayed. I will have another party here again it was worth the price

It was hard to find a staff member when we got inside of stars and strikes. We went to two different registers waiting for staff to come. Myself and my husband came for the MLK day special since we were both off of work. We enjoyed playing the arcade games. There were a lot of people but it wasn’t super packed. We overall had a great time.

Here's a review for Stars and Stripes Entertainment: --- "I had a fantastic experience at Stars and Stripes ! The customer service was outstanding—everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed happy to be there, which made the visit even better. The location was spotless, which I really appreciate, especially in a busy spot. The prices were also very reasonable for everything they offer. I have to say, the chicken was a highlight! It was cooked perfectly and had such a great flavor that I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend Stars and Stripes if you're looking for a fun, affordable, and well-kept place with delicious food!"

Came in yesterday and was greeted with a warm smile, Selma was super helpful in the arcade and explained the game cards, bumper cars, and laser tag very well. She was super patient and polite and helped answer all of our questions. 10/10 customer service. We didn’t go bowling, but we were very satisfied with the arcade.

Sky Zone Trampoline Park - Buford is a chain of indoor trampoline parks that offer various activities such as freestyle bouncing, dodgeball, and fitness programs. Despite some initial dry and discouraging customer service, the staff eventually warmed up to visitors. The Friday morning team on July 7th deserves appreciation for being engaging, helpful, and at least cordial during the visit. Serving the public may not be easy, but it's important to provide detailed information without causing any difficulties.
I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredible our experience was at Sky Zone, all thanks to one amazing employee named Zyon. From the moment we walked in, Zyon greeted us with genuine warmth and a big smile. We had a few issues with our booking and were a bit overwhelmed trying to get everything sorted for our family outing, but Zyon stepped in without hesitation. She was patient, kind, and extremely professional. Not only did she resolve our issue quickly, but she also made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Zyon went above and beyond, checking in on us throughout our visit, making sure the kids were having fun and safe, and even helping us find a great spot for our family to relax in between jumps. You could tell she really cared, not just about doing her job, but about making sure people left with great memories. People like Zyon make all the difference. Sky Zone is lucky to have someone like her on their team. Because of her outstanding customer service and thoughtful attitude, our entire day turned around and became one of the best family days we’ve had in a long time. Thank you, Zyon! You truly made an impact on us, and we’re so grateful.

My son had a great time at a birthday party here. The only complaint he had (as a 3yr old) was that the soft play area slide was “too dark” and he got stuck up there once as well as another kid. I’m not sure what they got stuck on or why it freaked them out so badly. Once he was down and jumping around he was fine. The staff was really nice and it looked pretty cleansed. Pizza was ok just messy.

NEKOANDKEYBA F — Google review
Came here for some playtime on my son’s birthday on a Wednesday afternoon. A lot of the attractions were closed. What is open is run down. The worst part are the workers. They’re beyond rude. My son and his big sister (who is 13) wanted to go on the slide. There’s a sign that says ask an attendant for help before going up. So my daughter asked if the slide was open and if they could go on. The girl specifically looked and said “yes, of course!” So she grabbed the slide matts for her and her brother and went up. Once at the top another worker started whistling at them and yelling for them to get down immediately so they came back down. The girl then proceeded to berate them by practically yelling at them “it says ask for an attendant I don’t understand why you guys can’t follow directions!” First of all speaking to kids like that is absolutely not necessary. My daughter was just helping her 6 year older brother and DID ask an attendant. The second girl was just rude and they obviously don’t communicate with each other. But beyond the rudeness, with so few things open, closing the slides for 30 mins is ridiculous. This place is not worth the $27 they charge per person. There are plenty of better indoor fun places in the area. This place was so much better when it was Rock n Jump. We won’t be back.

The preserve also offers a 1.5-mile nature trail and an interpretive nature trail for visitors to explore the natural surroundings.

Great place for a walk or run in the area, I came here with my dog with the first time and she loved it and so did I.
Arik S — Google review
pretty nice park with a little nature trail. however, for a place called a "preserve", I was hoping there would be more trees. there's a little patch of them along the trail but the rest of the park is grass, which is kind of strange. maybe it'll feel more immersive in green season?
Elliott O — Google review
Must visit park. Lovely nature trails. Paved trails for kids with stroller. Nice for walks with pets. Lots of green area.
Bhavesh S — Google review
Pretty simple park with a wide open field, great for games with your dog or children. You get a nice panoramic view of the sky and sunsets in the evening...perfect place for photography. Picnic tables are to the right of the grand staircase and just beyond that, a hiking trail system. The nature trails collectively aren't more that two miles but they do lead to a creek, another open field, a playground, and another park entrance. Dense foliage and tree cover provide lots of shade, just perfect for a hot summer day.
Seth S — Google review
Quite and peaceful park where you will find about 1.5 miles of flat walking trails that predominantly follows along the creek. Plenty of parking available on both sides of the park. Dog park with separate large and small dog areas. Restrooms and pavillions located close to each parking lot. A playground with natural influences climbing obstacles rounds out the amenities.
Brian S — Google review
What a great little park! We went early on a Sunday morning and had the playground all to ourselves. The trees surrounding the play area provided nice shade. Then we checked out the trails there, and they're fantastic! Easy enough for preschoolers, with fun things to see along the way. The restrooms were very clean. We will definitely be back.
Sara O — Google review
It has roomy dog parks, both a small dog and large dog area. It was clean and well kept. I will try the hiking trails next time.

Went on a Saturday around 3:30pm and barely anyone was there. Great for dog walking, especially if you are looking for a peaceful environment. Dog waste bags are also provide. I will be back to further explore soon!

Thai restaurant
Thai Basil Kitchen is a Thai eatery that offers classic dishes and serves wine in a relaxed atmosphere adorned with vibrant art panels. The establishment comes highly recommended by customers who have enjoyed the variety of flavorful options available. One popular dish is the Pad Kee Mao, also known as Drunken Noodles, which can be customized with shrimp for an even more delectable experience. Another favorite is the Thai Fried Rice, which can also be enhanced with shrimp.
Beautiful restaurant - really clean interior, modern, and appealing! Nicely lit. You could dine in here or sit on their nicely appointed patio. But… we all know Thai food is also great takeout! Their Pad Thai is easily some of the best I’ve had. If you like to feel the heat, ask for EXTRA spicy because they held back a little. ;) the drunken noodles were delicious. Great flavors. I would return here any time!

Tom Ka soup was yummmm. Ordered Thai basil fried rice with pineapple…..it was perfect. Panang curry with soft tofu was out of the world…..tofu was super soft. Tserma was so friendly. Just fyi…they offer cooking class as well.

I had such a fantastic experience at Thai Basil! From the moment I walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and generous portions. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Thai Basil to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine.

Third visit here and it’s always amazing. First time we sat outside and their patio is so cute with lots of foliage - like a little jungle. Everything is delicious. We love Penang short ribs and duck curry. My husband loves the Tom Yum soup as appetizer or full hot pot. We’ve had the madman curry and catfish dish - what a great offering. Pad Thai is yummy. The service is good and FAST. Just go, you’ll love it.
Brooke L — Google review
We tried this place a few weeks ago, and we loved it then. So we came back. This time we got here when they just opened. It was quiet but pleasant. Our appetizer came in fast but our drinks took a little too long, but it was worthy. The chicken Pad Thai was so delicious, I do like it better with lime and when I asked the server, she brought us a bunch of them unlike many other restaurants. The sauce of my Pad Thai was so delicious. The fried rice was also very good. Not salty at all. Had a lot of chicken too. In general food is very good. The taste, the amount, everything. We even took some leftovers home. Peach, our server was very nice and kind, attentive. The best we have had so far.
Ortiz M — Google review
Update: Service on Friday night was much slower and our server less pleasant. That said, the menu is more extensive than I remembered and the food was still good. The panang curry is excellent. The spicy catfish was also good. ----------- Wow, I can't believe I waited so long to try this restaurant. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere wonderful, and the service super pleasant. They have an excellent outdoor patio that I will give a try next time.
Phil S — Google review
3/18/25 Wanted to give this place one last try because it’s one of the closest to us. Disappointed. Pineapple fried rice salty. Panang curry too sweet. The mixed appetizer tray was okay. The ube cheesecake was okay. The server we couldn’t understand the first thing she told us. We think she asked us what appetizers we wanted. We asked her for Arnold Palmer but she came back with lemonade. Not returning anymore. Updated review: This place use to be good. It’s not anymore. I don’t know what happened but the 1st time me has it, amazing. The times after, terrible. The 2nd time we dined in our food was cold and flavor wasn’t consistent. We ordered takeout this time. My Panang Curry tasted more like coconut milk than the curry. We got the Pad Kee Mao and Thai Basil Fried Rice. Everything was too sweet. The rice in the fried rice was clumped and smushed together. Very disappointed because at the first time, I thought we found our go to Thai place. Apparently not. Year ago review: Phenomenal. Absolutely scrumptious. I ordered the Red Curry and it was so good! I now consider this type of curry to be my favorite because of this place! It's flavorful. The Pineapple Fried Rice my husband loved!!! Presentation is super cute! Tasted the kids Pad Thai and it was delicious too. You cannot go wrong with what you order here!
