Phipps Plaza

I love this mall, maybe not as much as Lenox but Phipps is right up there. The highlights here are the high end stores where you can find all sorts of nice clothes and jewelry. What I really love about this mall is the movie theater. I can’t think of another one in GA that has a full bar. So while you enjoy your movie you can get your libations on. Big comfy chairs that stretch out it’s almost like your at home, expect for the 75 other people around you. Others have complained about the parking but I never have a problem now the driving in the area can be a little dicey due to the traffic in the area avoid rush hour when you can.

I would like to say, it was the most terrible shopping experience in my life in Saks.
Don’t buy Cosmetics there! check the production date before you bring them back! Be cautious!!!
I bought bobbi brown foundation, and kiehl’s there, and found production date was 2012 and 2013. I went back the store to exchange the production, and found all those BB’s foundation are old dated. Then they tried to return it and order it online from Saks online. So unlucky, the second time when I received the foundation, which is still almost out of date, production date is 2013, it is 2016 now!!! I had to communicate with their staff and manager over the phone again, The manager’s attitude was so (she mention her name is pronounced like «Anne»)~~~~~~~~~ rude, just told me it is good and u can use it till open after 24ms, and questioning the production date, and hanged the phone up!!!
This is the rudest manager so far I met in Saks! !!
I will never ever go back to Saks to buy anything I promise!!! And they never really try to solve the problem for customers!!!

I love this plaza. I do not like the parking though because I have huge vehicles. I promise you that the stores here have some great sales at 50% off and up from time to time. And were else are you going to play at LegoLand and get River Street Sweets candy from in Atlanta? So suck it up and come on out to see what else you may be missing out on!
Just drive carefully and slowing in the parking lot! Pedestrians have the right away!

I’m writing a review on Phipps because I’m here a lot. To be fair, I shop at a lot of the stores at Phipps: Saks, Nordstroms, etc. It has a good set of anchor stores but then they have a Legoland. I don’t really understand why.
Phipps has traditionally been the high end mall of Atlanta, but many of the stores here are really going to more appeal to tourists in the area (e.g., Hublot) yet most tourists bussed in go to Lennox. Despite both of the malls being owned by Simmons, the property company refuses to connect the two. Why?
This is a stupid strategy. I think Phipps is going to fail ultimately as Hublot, Tory and Jeffery figure out that the high end shopping area of Atlanta is down in the Avenues of Buckhead. Phipps meanwhile has added Legoland which brings in streams of school children, none of whom are looking for $ 20,000 watches, $ 1,500 shoes or $ 3,000 dresses. The two target markets don’t overlap… BUT having streams of loud school children certainly is not a pleasant shopping experience.
Simmons needs a property management strategy or this place will be Legoland, Belk and Starbucks.

In order to see Santa you have to make an appointment in September. They fill up fast and no walk ups and standbys allowed. Didn’t get an appointment so now I can’t enter the mall between November and Christmas as my son will not understand why Santa won’t meet him even if he waits. So Phipps Plaza has lost my holiday shopping dollars.

Date night with my He-​Boo and I am not impressed with the place at all. We decided to go see «Straight Outta Compton» the movie was really good but everything else is over the top and un-​necessary. So after we stand in line looking at a screen to figure out seating for the show my He-​boo walks over to the bar, yes there is a bar in a movie theatre (first for everything right) After I get over the initial shock of that, he asked if I wanted a snack and a drink. You walk up to a counter and place an order the cashier then hands you a receipt because you don’t get food or pay there, you move down and around the counter and pick up at another counter. We get to the pick up area and the food I ordered they didn’t have anymore… WHAT? I attempted to order something else and guess what. they didn’t have that either and again they didn’t have that either. At this point I am just disgusted so I say, «I’ll just get a drink and the girl says, «you have to get drinks over there» Another damn counter OMG! I’m sure that I will not come back here again unless I am shopping.

High Fashion! Yes! You heard me! Nothing but high end stores and you better be ready to burn a hole in your wallet and purses! I absolutely love Phipps! I can say that I would prefer to come here over Lenox any day! Only because the crowd seems to be a bit more mature and the stores are better. So come on down and get you some Designer items!

high end boutiques only! I promised myself that I would be able to afford this stuff one day. hopefully that comes true

I like shopping here because parking is easy to find and its quiet here. It has all my favorite stores and a movie theater for later. Customer service is great everywhere you go here (hint for people not getting good service– go to the store with a goal in mind and let them know it. Once they see your actually here to buy stuff and make them commission they will be more likely to help you!)I feel safer also shopping here than at lenox (some sketchy people there and when your holding a couple grand worth of purchase the last feeling I want is to feel like I am being followed to my car as a girl). Not to mention really the only reason to go to lenox is for that one strip heading towards neiman marcus to shop at. Otherwise you can really go to any other mall. Def will be back here to do more damage and to actually get to try the restaurants (Ricky rushed me out of the mall at soon as he could because he has no patience for if I shop more then 2 hours– and maybe his credit card was starting to cry hahaha ^-^ just kidding, I am an independent woman!)
For my fellow Miami peeps… if you miss miami, come here for a few hours. You’ll be less homesick lol.
For Orlando people, its like millenia mall! Yay!

We stopped here to see this mall so my husband could get a quick bite and found it mostly deserted. It didn’t take me long to figure out why. Most of these stores are ultra high end and I had recently seen some of them on New York City’s Fifth and Madison Aves.
We found a small food court so I went browsing while he grabbed a sandwich. They have a giant Lego land for kids and an AMC multiplex cinema. They do have a restaurant here but since I wasn’t hungry didn’t take advantage of it. They have their own parking garage which we needed to stay out of the rain. I was stunned that the stores close at 8 pm.
I visited a store called Jeffrey’s which also had a NY location. I asked where the other location was and was told the meatpacking district. The store was very upscale and I wondered why they would put their main store in NY in that area as opposed to the East side. Still I had friendly customer service and was able to rejoin my husband after that visit.
If you like to browse and dream then go here. Otherwise take in a movie at the multiplex or take the kids to see Legoland.

The ultra high end store of Atlanta, home to Lego Land and movie theater with reclining seats! They have a spa, 2 restaurants, starbucks, but a small food court which I guess the two restaurants are to balance out. Parking can be a nightmare but they do have a underground garage. If you’re lucky, you can have a celebrity sighting.

Updating my review after several visits over the past year and a half or so. I’ve actually come to like Phipps quite a bit.
After figuring out the parking situation and finding a common entrance that I use almost every time, I’ve grown quite fond of this place. The AMC theatres at Phipps has a lot to do with my sentiment and I’d say that’s a really good thing. Those cozy seats and lines of Coke Freestyle machines make it easily one of my favorite theatres in Atlanta for blockbuster films.
Really glad to have Phipps in ATL. Where I may not be one to go shopping ever, I’m glad that I’ve found the things that work for me.

Fancier & pricier version of Lenox Mall. Boss, Dior, Kate Spade, Jimmy Choo and plenty more than you can shake a stick at (or your wallet). About .5mi. walk from Buckhead MARTA though if you’re shopping at Phipps then you’re probably not riding MARTA lol. Good place to take your lady $hopping, or get that designer suit fitted just in time for your big day (whether it’s graduation, bachelor party, or anniversary). Really nice fashions and AMC movie theater, but otherwise too expensive for 99% of ATLiens.

This mall looks really fancy in design. Most of the stores are high end and not for the average Joe. Parking is easy and free in the parking garage. The upper floor has some regularly priced affordable stores like Aeropostale. It also has some food court options like Subway. There is also an AMC theater. The neighboring mall does not have a theater. There is also some LegoLand attraction. The other floors are high end. It seems just the third floor is more family friendly and cheaper.

I dropped a star since LegoLand was opened here. What?!! Ok, I do not hate children but I can’t comprehend why they must opened LegoLand here. This is going to be a seemingly harsh but very honest review here. Yes, like I always say, truth can be not pretty.
I first stepped foot into this mall like 10 years ago when I lived behind Phipps Plaza. It used to be a calm and peaceful shopping mall. I moved out to Peachtree Road but still find myself here every week. I would enjoy my Starbucks here with my bestie. We girls would be happily chatting away week after week. About 1 – 2 years back, we realized occasionally some schools would take the kids here on field trips. That was even before LegoLand was opened. We meanies would say perhaps these schools were trying to show the little children what nice things they could buy when they grew up and do well in life. Seriously?
Then there was the LegoLand. The noise level went up in the mall, the bathrooms getting filthy and there are unruly kids running around. I get it that kids need to have a place to visit in Atlanta, but not in the mall please.
Love the AMC here but I am finding more people are coming to this theater as if this is a zoo or another excursion trip in the city. These people started taking pictures of their kids inside the dark theater with flash. I don’t think these people truly understand the meaning of being «considerate».
Parking has never been an issue, I try not to park in the basement. That’s just me especially in light of the carjacking incident months ago.
I have no issues with the stores here, customer service is usually good to very good. Ahhhhh… And there’s my favorite Tiffany here in this mall. :)

One of the best malls to shop with the girls in Atlanta. You don’t have to worry about being bothered with so many crowds in here. For example, like most average malls in America that are over crowded especially on the weekends. In the past, I use to always come to the cinema here, because I did not care for listening to people talk through a film. Great cinema for date night. They have a few cool restaurants connected to the mall as well for the grown folks. Ideal spot to take your children, if they want to take photos with Santa Clause. i adore this mall, because it has a lot of charm to it. I agree with the last post that the“RealHousewives of Atlanta” shop here on a regular base, which means the soccer and hockey moms.

This AMC has really stepped up its game since movie theaters like Cinebistro have opened nearby.
It now offers big, comfy reclining chairs and the ability to pick your seats ahead of time when you buy tickets. The snack options have also improved with a full bar serving alcohol and regular staple snacks (popcorn, nachos, etc.) but also stuff like Philly cheesesteaks, pizza and other more upscale options. It’s not exactly Cinebistro but it’s definitely a step up from what it was.
I enjoy coming here to take in a show if it’s not playing at Cinebistro, and we will definitely come back in the future.
Also note, it gets really crowded on weekend nights — especially with Legoland right next door, but matinees are much calmer.

The only reason I go to Phipps Plaza is for the AMC movie theater.
This is a very nice mall with a lot of stores that I could not afford to shop at. I find it fun to walk around Phipps and see what some of the higher end stores have to offer. I then laugh at the prices and walk away. The mall isn’t very big, so the walk can be a bit short. Parking at Phipps can be a bit painful on the weekend. Most days, there are plenty of parking spots on the lower levels, but the lower levels can feel a bit isolated.
Overall 4 stars for being an interesting mall to walk around.

Went here for the first time.
Did some shopping a Nordstrom. The Nordstrom seems smaller than some of the other around town. They have some good sales. A nice spring jacket for $ 995 (no I didn’t forget the period)
This mall has UP-​SCALE shopping and pricing. Folks bring their spoiled dogs in.
You got the dinari or black credit card? you’ll want to come here and buy, otherwise it’s a nice place to window shop, too.

Viola PHIPPS PLAZA!
OK you know I DON’T like malls so why do I give them 4 STARS? Because this MALL IS VOID (Or it used to be) of NONSENSE, LOUD NOISE, TOO MANY PEOPLE, UNBEARABLE TEMPERATURES and BAD AZZ CHILDREN! Why because this mall is the CREAME DE LA CREAM of MALLS! Sort of the Costa Mesa of Malls but WAAAYYYY BETTERRRR!
For the most part PARKING IS A BREEZE because there are NOT as many shoppers due the prices here and the stores inside! When I was a kid I would call it the quiet mall because NO body was WINDOW SHOPPING, which I don’t understand anyway! You are not here if you can NOT AFFORD to BUY anything THUS NO KIDS unless your parents had money! BUT AGAIN kids were not just HANGING OUT at the mall they are here to BUY and GO HOME or somewhere else!
NOW A DAYS there are more people here due to the fact people will spend their LAST DIME to buy a GIVENCHY BAG or PHILLIP LIM boots and then have nothing in it but the stuffing it came with or they will try to wear the boots with every outfit even if it doesn’t go… So Sad! I’ll NEVER understand it! And I am NOT TALKING ABOUT PHILLIP LIM for TARGET either! Give me a break! You know those people, you’ve all seen them!
It is ALWAYS A JOY TO COME HERE! Your usually in and out and the SERVICE is WAAAYYY BETTERRRRR! The only problem I have with this mall is that is far from where my parents live and I have to drive the crazy streets of Atlanta city proper and to me Atlanta proper is like driving in LA and I HATE LA traffic and streets! But other than that I have NOOO ISSUES!

Ce mall à moins de 500m de Lenox Square se veut plus chic et plus cher.
Vous y trouverez des marques comme Gucci, Fendi et Chanel.
Des voitures de luxe ornent les allées, des daimers, des lotus et des maseratis. Le ton est donné.
Quand les enfants s’assoient sur les genoux du Père Noël ils repartent avec des étoiles dans les yeux.
