I can’t say enough about this restaurant and the amazing turkey legs that fall off the bone!! It makes my mouth water thinking about the food. Nick is awesome and a real genuine human being who happens to own a restaurant.

When I tell you Atlanta Turkey Legs is gonna hit everytime and I mean EVERYTIME! I first got to try them last year at Jump-off Juneteenth event, anytime I see them at any event they are my go to food choice. Their turkey legs are always flavorful and juice, Mac & cheese is delicious with collard greens that have a kick to it! If you want the best of their menu please try their big back bowl ( turkey,greens,Mac & cheese,Kandi yams with cornbread) chefs kiss. The staff is always friendly no matter have busy they are at an event or even at their takeout location I. Which they finally moved in the city right in midtown Their takeout location can get really busy as it's a share kitchen space but it's clean and quick once your order is ready.

I tried the freaky fettuccine with shrimp and I must say I was a little disappointed. The turkey leg was a bit overpowering and didn’t really compliment the fettuccine. The flavor was there and portioned well but the price was a little much. However, I would support again because the customer service was excellent just not the freaky fettuccine.

Food was okay. I wouldn't eat here again... & the baked beans taste like your eating cinnamon powder. I wish they didn't put cinnamon in the baked beans omg. The service was good!

As TheRealFoodStalker says "You gotta give these folks a try" Ordered the Big Back Bowl with BBQ Turkey leg and the Lemon Peppa Steppa Turkey Leg. It was extremely delicious and so tender. Loved the Mac n Cheese and candied yams. The cornbread and collards were hitting the spot too.

Really wanted to like this place and drove over 35 min to get some. My wife and I ordered 2 turkey leg meals. Hers came bbq and she ordered garlic parm and both were very dry throughout the leg. The Mac and cheese was ok but not great. We ordered the Raspberry Cheesecake and that was disgusting 1/10. The texture on it was gross. Cornbread was super dry as well. Overall too expensive and quality severally lacking. I'll spend $50+ elsewhere

Okay! ...(pause for emphasis and dramatization lol) this was delicious tasting food!! We ordered the lemon pepper turkey leg with Mac and cheese yams and collards. I don't even eat yams, but i did yesterday I ordered them because the sides list was limited and i didn't want baked beans with the meal i had and i knew if i didn't like them my man would eat them. The collards were good as well; a little spicy but not too spicy I couldn't eat or enjoy them. My nose just ran a little. Now the turkey legs were fall off the bone tender and fell off into this lemon pepper sauce.... Yummy!! The portion size for the sides are okay as well. Oh and o forgot, I also ordered a pan of the cornbread!!! Pause again... I ate one slice before i even ate my meal and then another slice with my meal lol. It gives Jiffy, but with jalapeño's. There's no ambiance to discuss because there is no sit down dining. Also, it's located in somewhat of a creepy place because it's behind a building. We arrived when it was dark and i believe i would've been uncomfortable if i were by myself. I'll add that I'm not familiar with that area. We drove about 29 minutes to get there; no traffic. The service was good. I didn't check the box for curb side pick up but lucked up and got it anyway. The guy was bringing another persons food out and walked to our car and asked our name and said the order was coming up. Not sure if this is standard or if it was only because they arrived at my car before the person whose food they had in the bag.

I ordered the cornbread bowl with turkey. Was totally excited about trying this place out! The only thing good was the greens! The Mac noodles were not done and the yams were hard with no flavor…such a disappointment….

I'm going to give a reserved honest opinion on the food here, with the understanding that this food is made fresh daily, so some days may have gravy salt hands while others have heavy spice hands. Today was a ssssspicy day! I'm from the Caribbean and the spicy collard greens lived up to their name. It was so spicy, my taste buds were deadened and I couldn't really taste anything else. I got the saucy turkey meal with the 24k gold sauce on the side with yams, mac, and a side of collard greens. The turkey was spicy and slightly salty as well, but not nearly as spicy as the greens. That said, I didn't hate it. My next round might just be the pulled turkey, mac, and yams to save myself or the fettuccine if they are offering. My roommate got the big back bowl and she said the same thing about the spice, but the delicious cornbread helped. The cornbread was delicious and not spicy which was expected from something with jalapeno. Her only issue was she would have liked more turkey, but she enjoyed clearing her nose from the spice of the greens.The location wasn't terrible to find, the website gives great instructions so there were no issues there. I travelled about 30 minutes to get to this location after stalking the menu for over a week or so and have not been turned off.Overall, I definitely plan to go back to give it another try!Vegetarian options: Spicy collard greens are vegetarian, I believe
