The gator appetizer was minimal and we all got 4 different dishes. The meat sizes were small like on weight watchers and the mashed potatoes were great, but again a dollup. For an average of $25 a plate, NOT work the money We were all still very hungry. it is a shame they food was very good. luckily we had a scoutmob coupon othwerwise. We will not be going back... too bad... We went for my husbands 40th bday. The gator appetizer was minimal and we all got 4 different dishes.

Please note any coupons that are bought for the restaurant are good now and in the forseable future. This aticle was premature in its assumptions of the closing of Saskatoon, we are open for buisness and we are doing very well, you can also check out the Hudsputh Report website who recently assured patrons that Saskatoon will continue to be open and at full buisness. SASKATOON OPEN FOR BUISNESS AND WAITING FOR YOU !

I spoke with the owners recently as i was dining on DEER and they are staying open until the space is leased and plan to find a more hospitable location, When you say that the space is unfavorable its present and recent history do show that, you might want to find out things like Landlords and leasing company's refusing to negotiate changes which results in the high prices of rent and extras you speak of; tenants of the building not liking any type of restaurant business there because it interferes with their parking and sleep. BTW Venison (DEER as you call it) actually can be less expensive than the Filet Mignon you like, and more nutritious without hormones and antibiotics.

The food was always delicious and the service was fabulous. What it really comes down to is marketing. Saskatoon followed the same business plan as Harry Bissetts - hoping the crowd who loved the originial would love the Atlanta space - therefore making no real marketing efforts. Whoever comes into that space next needs to have a great marketing plan that appeals to both Buckheads young crowd as well as the business people with loads of expendable income. Host a great happy hour with real specials, offer a loyalty program, and get the brand exposed to the affluent local community. That restaurant space is cursed without solid marketing.

It's main problem was that it was overpriced and mediore. Paying $30 for a poorly cooked piece of bison was not my idea of a good value. I don't think the space, or the Pharr Rd location are so bad, I just dont think there's ever been a quality restaurant there. Harry Bissets was a generic bar that felt like a suburban strip mall watering hole, and in this town if you want suburban strip mall bar you have plenty of options that don't involve paid parking or buckhead traffic.
