Facts About Romano’s Macaroni Grill in Georgia
Romano’s Macaroni Grill is a chain of restaurants that specialize in Italian-American cuisine. The first restaurant was opened in Leon Springs, Texas, in 1988, and its headquarters is in Denver, Colorado. According to the restaurant’s website, they get the ingredients for their meals from small, family-owned Italian farms.
Menu items at Romano’s include traditional Italian dishes like pasta, create-your-own pasta, sauces, toppings, salads, and seafood. Meals are served with bread and olive oil.
Romano’s Macaroni Grill can be found at the following locations in Georgia:
- Windward Parkway in Alpharetta, GA
- Mall of Georgia in Buford, GA
Even if you love the food at Romano’s, that doesn’t mean management and employees are off the hook for your safety. All businesses in Georgia have a duty to maintain safe premises for customers, as mentioned under Georgia Code section 51-3-1. If an injury occurs because the business fails to maintain safe premises, they may be liable for the damages.

Important Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall at Romano’s Macaroni Grill
Although working with a lawyer is the best way to ensure you’re seeking the fullest compensation possible, there are other ways you can protect your legal rights. Here are some actions you can take to begin supporting your slip and fall case.
Take Pictures at the Scene
Slip and fall accident scenes can be changed or cleaned up quickly afterward. To preserve the scene as much as possible, take pictures. Snap photos of:
- The hazard or dangerous condition at the restaurant that caused you to fall
- The entire scene of the accident from different angles, zoomed in, and zoomed out to show exactly where it happened and
- Any visible injuries you have right after falling
Taking pictures is one of the easiest ways to document the accident after it happens. Since your lawyer won’t be with you when the accident actually happens, taking pictures will preserve evidence that your lawyer cannot get on their own (but that they can use to continue building your case).
Tell the Restaurant’s Manager
Ask the nearest server or another employee to take you to the restaurant’s manager. Make sure the manager understands that you fell and were injured on the property. They might make an accident report on it.
Get the manager’s full name and contact information, and avoid apologizing or discussing anything specific about the accident. You’ll want to speak with a lawyer before talking about fault or blame with anyone else.
Look for Eyewitness and Talk to Them
Chances are good that other patrons were eating at Romano’s at the same time as you. If any of them saw you fall, talk to them and ask for their contact information. Witness statements can be really helpful to a slip and fall case, so your lawyer will likely reach out to them later.
Get Your Injuries Checked Out
As soon as possible after leaving the restaurant, see a doctor, even if you feel okay. This is important for a couple of reasons:
- You’ll get prompt treatment in case your injuries worsen with time.
- Also, it will show the insurance company that your injuries were serious enough to require immediate medical attention. (Otherwise, they might try to say that you were not hurt as badly as you’re claiming.)
Be Careful What You Say
The restaurant’s insurance company might try reaching out to you soon after your accident. Be very wary of anything they ask you or that you say to them. They might look for ways to get you to accept a lowball settlement or say something that could be used against you later.
It’s really best to get a slip and fall lawyer on your side who can communicate and negotiate with the insurance company for you. That way, you don’t even need to stress about it.
What It Costs to Hire a Slip and Fall Lawyer in Georgia
Our lawyers are very passionate about making sure injury victims get access to help without risk. That’s why we work on contingency, which means:
- There is no upfront fee.
- You only pay if we win you money.
- If we win you a settlement or award, our fee is simply taken as a percentage of that—not out-of-pocket.
Before hiring a lawyer, make sure you understand their fee structure. You should also look for someone who offers a free consultation. That way, you won’t have to pay for the time that you’ll spend going over your case and making sure the attorney is a good fit for you (and vise versa).
