About

Food that's seasonally rooted, locally focused, and unlimited in its stylistic boundaries—you're in for a dining experience like no other in Atlanta.

Story

Chef Kevin Gillespie and Red Beard Restaurants opened Gunshow in 2013 in the Glenwood Park area of Atlanta. Gillespie and Executive Chef Joey Ward create a home-like atmosphere where guests can eat what they wish as he prepares dishes from refined to rustic and sends them out to the small dining room. Medium-sized plates are delivered as they are ready and offered to the guests who may choose what they’d like.

This unique-to-Atlanta service approach emphasizes the fun, casual and personal atmosphere Gillespie wants to create. The design by the acclaimed team at ai3 has stretched the boundaries of traditional restaurant design and focused on creating a space that has tremendous functionality and openness. The menu will be ever-evolving with wonderfully delicious food that is seasonally rooted, locally focused, and unlimited in its stylistic boundaries. Gunshow is open for dinner Tuesday - Saturday.

Amazing place and food. I totally like their concept of having different chefs there creating their daily dishes and food you can just choose from when they coming by your table. So it never gets boring going there are from what I've tasted, the food is soooo good. We also had some cocktails, also very very good. I liked everything we had but my favourites were the octopus, bear tartar, mushrooms and ravioli. Reservation is highly recommend and if I am the next time in the city, I definitely try to go there again
Talent is within the walls of this restaurant. Each dish was prepared with a great depth of knowledge of flavors and there was respect for each ingredient as it went into creating these dishes. The top 3 dishes of the night were... 1. The Pork Wellington 2. The Chicken Liver Mousse 3. Tie between the Black Cod and the Duck Pressé. I preferred the duck and my husband preferred the Black Cod For dessert, we really enjoyed the Cheddar and Apple hand pie with french fry ice cream. French fries were literally in the ice cream. The drink of the night was The Sea Witch. I didn't want to have any other cocktails because this drink was so unique and delicious. Loved our experience and this really was an excellent New Year's celebration.
Gunshow has consistently been a favorite restaurant of mine in Atlanta since they opened. Kevin Gillespie's willingness to take a leap with a unique concept that has yet to be replicated while Atlanta's food scene was still quite young was bold and beautiful. Its difficult to talk about the menu because it constantly rotates aside from a dessert on the menu. However the amount of talent behind the line speaks for itself. To me, Gunshow's roster represents a handful of individuals that have put in the blood and sweat, and have their fair share of scars and stories. They have the passion and experience, and they are steps away from an executive role or their own concept. So go with an open mind. Some portions are quality over quantity. Others can be difficult to share. If you're looking for a paced out meal of appetizers, entrees, and dessert, might I suggest you look elsewhere. Some of my best food memories and bites have been at Gunshow. Embrace the flavors and savor the moments, because it could be your one and only chance.
I enjoyed every moment. The food was awesome. We received about 8 tapa style selections we were able to decide if we wanted to try them or pass on them. We tried 6 out 8 and were pleased with our selections. The drinks were delicious and the right amount of alcohol. My favorite was the duck. The desserts were amazing. The banana pudding was made to perfection. I wasn’t impressed with the lamb as it was my least favorite item. I do recommend trying this restaurant. I probably wouldn’t have tried antelope if it wasn’t for this place. It’s fun to go with at least four or more people.
Gunshow by far one of the best places to eat to Atlanta from The atmosphere, the rotating menu and overall experience. You sit in a community style table setting where the chefs come up to you with their prepared dishes off of the that nights menu, you get to see it, smell it, and get to hear about how they prepared that dish before you either say yes or no to having it. It’s a creative of scale version of a dim sum . It’s ideal to go with a group of four so you could share all the items on the menu. Their drink selection is amazing and they even have a barcart that goes to your table and prepare it in front of you. 11 out of 10.
This is the funnest dining experience I’ve ever had. I love that you can see right into the kitchen and that the chefs describe the dish to you as they come out. The rotating menu keeps things exciting and there’s always something on the menu that I haven’t had before, or even thought about.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: NoDelivery: NoCurbside pickup: No
Absolutely enjoyed every minute! We wanted a unique dining experience and this met our expectations. My favorite was the liver mousse! Prices are very reasonable for what you receive. We will be back for sure!
I love a restaurant that elevates food without being pretentious. This is Gun Show. As usual, we ended up getting everything on the menu, and the variety of flavors was everything. If we had longer than the 90-minute seating, we would have stayed another hour. If there's room at the bar, that's an option btw. If you love new flavors and dishes that are unlike anywhere else, Gun Show consistently hits the mark.
Service is five stars. Atmosphere five stars. I really can’t say enough kind things about everyone working there. Chefs, staff, hosts. Exceptional. I wanted to love the food and I wanted to love the drinks. Overall 4 stars. Trout dish was outstanding. Clams were even better and I don’t normally love clams. Banana cream pudding, oooooof so good. Im not gonna go super specific. I want to mention that our waitress comped one of the dishes my party and I all particularly disliked. Overall from dishes to cocktails thing were not super balanced. Either over salted, or too sharp, or just too much of one ingredient that overpowered everything. All this being said I would come back. Pricing was fair for the experience and I love a business trying new things. Count me in for the next gun show!
One of the worst meals we have ever had in our lives. The food is less than mediocre at best. The first course was the chicken liver mouse which was fantastic, but then we were hit with course after course of the most mediocre food and drink experience we have ever had in a restaurant. The servers were great and ambiance was nice, but do not expect a decent tasting meal. The worst was the tamale. 100% do not recommend.
