The Avenue West Cobb

Chilis is awesome. I used to come for the pita Caesar wrap and there’s nothing else to compare. Please chilis bring it back! Please please! I used to go at least once a month now… once a year MAYBE. The service is always great, they say they can make anything if they have the ingredients so. Chili owners give them servers some pita wraps and Caesar salad! PLEASE!

The only reason why it gets a star is because it is a LOFT store, which I love. The customer service in the place is atrocious, and I try and buy online just to avoid going into this place, but unfortunately it is the only one for miles. The clerks are very rude when checking out, and this is not just a one time incident. It is EVERY TIME. I shop a lot too, so you can imagine.

great stores, something for everyone. nice layout and good customer service. Love the unique store collection offered. classy.

I LOVE The Avenues I like the design of the shopping center which makes it easy to park in one area and walk around to the different shops. The Avneues has several restaurants which is great for a bit to eat or snack while shopping!

I love driving out to the Avenue in West Cobb. They have most of the stores you would go to inside a Mall just you are walking outside instead. There are always plenty of inventory and lots of sales at stores like Ann Taylor, White House Black Market and Banana Republic. I always find something out there. They have good restaurants too.

This is a glorified strip mall that doesn’t have much other than stores that cater to middle aged women. Most of the restaurants are pretty good (they are all chains). Really wish they would add a movie theater or something because the area could really use one.

Good place to find shopping and restaurants from Otter’s Chicken to Aspens Steak. Also a cool place to find Apple products at PeachMac. #Marietta

If you want to dodge Town Center mall and it’s cruising teenagers on Barrett Parkway but you hate yourself just enough to be around housewives, minivans and their oversized SUV’s, The Avenue of West Cobb welcomes you with open arms.
There are a few decent places to shop here and I frequent the restaraunts on the outskirts of the shopping area but the parking lot is a war zone. I feel like my car is in a pin ball machine. With so many people and so many stores, it is hard to focus on the road not to mention the fountains, freaky statues of kids and actual kids running around. I find myself dodging strollers, housewives and more kids! Sure, they have a Chili’s, Gap and a Barnes and Noble but so does the mall a mile down the road. The only appeal is the MAC store but there is no parking within 3 miles of it.
Did I mention the power hungry rental cops driving around in golf carts? Don’t drive too slow in the parking lot or come after hours because these guys are like ninja’s! They pop up out of no where! I was driving through the parking lot not over 5mph when their batmobile golf cart comes beside me and the cop yells telling me I am speeding! Speeding? I can walk faster than this!

If you look at past reviews of mine, you would see that I’m not hard to please. But the service at this restaurant made it impossible for me to give them a good review. My fiancé and I dressed nicely to take his parents out to dinner and were pleasant, but the waiter talked down to us the entire dinner.
Food: We the food was good, but they mixed up the orders so that only one person out of 4 received the food that they had ordered. But the quality of the food was good, but very little in quantity. We left hungry, and that is rare for us.
Service: Abysmal
Summary: Tastey, small portions and a waiter who looks down his nose at everyone.

The best thing to happen in West Cobb! I love everything about the Avenue. I have been getting my hair cut at True Salon since they opened. Everyone there does a great job — my families favorites are Mandy & Stephanie. Also, Wendall gives the best massages on Wednesday’s at True Salon.
My husband regularly visit Aspen’s Steakhouse. The best night to go is on Thursdays when they have wine tasting. It is a great place to network on that night. We love the lobster bisque, the warm rolls they bring with the caviar spread, and the Ajax Sampler (steamed seafood).
Shopping at the Avenue is great as well. From The Gap, Jos A Banks, Ann Taylor, to Gymboree there truly is something for everyone.

Absolutely love this place! Everything is great. Need I say more.

There are now several «Avenues of…» in the Atlanta area. The theory is that people are getting fed up with sterile enclosed malls, and these open air shopping centers are designed to look (sort of) like a smaller city shopping district.
Until not long ago the West Cobb County suburban area of Atlanta was mostly composed of cow farms and country farm houses. Now there are middle-​class and high-​end subdivisions in the area, and the residents want something other than a Wal-​mart. Developers realized this hence, The Avenues. As Colt C.‘s review shows, some of the shops are fairly high-​end and not always typically found in enclosed malls.
Unrelated to the center exactly, I did have a bad experience there when they first opened. I’m a photographer on the side and the developer’s office told me about their grand opening events, so I went to take pics of the opening ceremonies. Long story short, their rent-​a-​cop security actually arrested me for taking photos on the property. It was cleared up eventually, but was very embarrassing. Since then the management was «relocated», but I’ve been told by store managers that security is very «rambo-​ish» — typical of inexpensive rent-​a-​cop companies, so tenants aren’t terribly thrilled with that aspect of it.
Be careful when navigating the multi-​lane parking lot. It’s easy to forget there are several lanes of cars going back and forth and people have been known to run out in front of them when going from one lane to the next.
On nice weather days The Avenues gives you a fair amount of shopping and dining options to keep you from having to drive into the city. Just watch out for security. ;-)
