“Came to ATL from out of town craving some good soul food, this place DELIVERED. I am planning to travel back to ATL just to eat here again. Well done Southern Queenz ??“

“We visited this restaurant at the invitation of one of the customers of SWC Contracting, We were not let down. The food was made with a tasty southern flair and each dish had my taste buds wondering what could be better than the last bite. We arrived about 6:30pm it was a little busy but not crowded and we were seated straight away by our waitress Tabitha, Her personality was bubbly and refreshing. We had our drinks and first dishes out within 7 minutes of our order. I can't say enough about the service, Tabitha if you read this,.. Just WoW!!! The food really is SECOND to NONE. When we want homecoming we usually visit a larger chain but after today this place has won my business for southern cooking and it is cooked at its finest.. I hope you all visit this place and have the experience we had,.. and I would ask for Tabitha if I was you.. P.S. Bring your appetite..“

“I visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening and the restaurant had a brisk clientele. The waitress came to our table immediately and asked for our drink orders and brought them back very quickly. I ordered the above items and in less than 15minutes i had my order and it was hot and seasoned to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a quick wholesome meal, with all taste you remember from growing up.“

“Food and service were 10/10 but I really didn't like the plates. They were these rustic aluminum plates with artistically chipped paint. But I was afraid to let my fork scrape the plate at all lest I chip more paint off. This sounds overly picky but seriously I cannot believe a restaurant would use these plates.“

“The food is amazing!! I have driven very long ways to enjoy this gem for genuine gluten free food! They offer cake and fried chicken and Mac and cheese and the best cornbread all gluten free!!! For a gluten free girl this is a A+ find“

“Good food. Good atmosphere.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere.“

“DELICIOUS!! When you order grits in a restaurant and they come out delicious—needing no salt, butter, or pepper—you know it’s a good place to eat!! All of our food was delicious. And the staff was sooo friendly! I wish I had taken a picture of our food but we scarfed it down! Definitely will eat here again!“

“Service was excellent, food was delicious. This place is not cheap, fyi. It was quite loud but that's because not a single chair was empty. Thank God for having parking otherwise I wouldn't come. I drive a F-150 so most roads in Atlanta are too narrow and street parking a tank is a nightmare. Happy to have valet and adjacent lot! Only disappointment was my $6 banana pudding dessert was enough to fill about a tablespoon! What?! But it sure was yummy!“

“Solid meal for lunch today. Traditional wings: Hot Honey Lemon Pepper. Worth the drive, wherever you’re commuting from. 🤌🏻 Owners kind & generous. Will definitely be back.“

“Lovely open air dining room, tasty and fast food service. Friendly bartenders. Great location.“

“good Down home southern cooking“

“Southern dining at it's best! Incredible cuisine with amazing selection that appeals to all. Service is excellent creating an experience that keeps you coming back.“

“Where to start? What a delightful evening and meal. The waiter, to start with, was amazingly attentive and kept up with us the entire evening. Also the owner came over and filled us in on the recent history. Liquor license is in now but I don't drink so that was not important. Let me segue to the food. OMG, the mushroom and goat cheese fondue with tomato jam was to die for. It was served in a cast iron skillet with plenty of toast. The sauce was so rich and creamy. To keep this under an hour and a half reading let me say my bride's steak was perfect along with the brussel sprouts and kale. Let me tell you about the pork chop. I like my pork chops to be medium rare if possible and it was perfectly pink inside. I try my best to get that look and I always overcome them. The sweet potato puree asking with the brussel sprouts was outstanding. The portions were very generous and couldn't ask anything better for a Monday night meal. OK, then there was the bread pudding. Oh, Lord, when I tasted the whiskey I almost fell in the floor. So, let me say to the people who has a bad time at the restaurant that they are hitting on all cylinders. I can understand a Karen or two that have nothing better to do than be haters, especially after the opening of the restaurants after COVID. I get it. Why not try to come back and give it another chance. They deserve it and you could use a good meal to chill out.“

“Love this place ! Awesome food and drinks!“

“Absolutely loved this place ! First time going and the food , coffee, service was great! Went with a group of four and was seated within 10 mins. I had the chicken and waffles. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Price point was a plus ! Definitely recommend“

“Exceptionally friendly employees, stellar food that doesn’t believe that heat = flavor. Spicy here means you get both. Sides are all pretty great, but the grits are my favorite. We’re addicted to this place. And to top it off, it’s one of the more affordable places you can go in the area.“

“Great food and great people.“

“when i am in town one of my favorite places to eat, tonight was on point great food and service.“

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“I have only eaten breakfast here, but it is always good and inexpensive. This more of a grab your food to go spot. Get the breakfast potatoes and the fried green tomatoes. The country steak is extra crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.“

“Recently spent a few days in Atlanta. (Go Braves!) This was the BEST meal we had the entire time. Scott, you and your staff have my vote --- 5 star, A+ all the way. Marcelo, your service during our meal --- perfect. This will be a "must do" the next time we are in Atlanta. In the meanwhile, when YOU go, get the fried chicken and any of the sides. You will thank me.“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“Wonderful Mother’s Day Brunch and lunch! First Mother’s Day for us and Chief Robert and team had an amazing spread!“

“Super yummy. Food to rave about. So so good. I got the bottomless coffee. I was in the mood for pancakes with fruit and the photos looked good on google. I got the pancakes with bananas and pecans. The syrup was hot and everything just melted in my mouth. I also ordered the shrimp and grits as it is a southern specialty. I wasn't super impressed with the dish in the past at other restaurants, but the photos looked promising. Bluebird's shrimp and grits with cheese was savory, with slightly sweet shrimp, great texture, and I loved the dish. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it all but still wanted the experience and to try it and took the extra to go. The decor was eclectic and whimsical. I loved the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend supporting this business or bring friends here. You can't get food made like this in a chain. Glad I chose to stop here today. There is a 20% tip added to the bill so expect that when you go. I normally tip at least 20% anyway and tipped more this time.“

“The food was great but our waitress Shannon will be the reason I go back! She is wonderful- if you go ask for her, she is a delight!“

“My husband and I had the best experience at this restaurant today. After a long drive and busy morning we enjoyed the best service from Cameron . Our omelettes and pancakes were delicious. It was nice to be in a relaxed atmosphere eating fresh food and having an attentive server with a great personality taking care of us . The mimosa flight was great ! I would recommend this restaurant and this server for a good breakfast or lunch ! Thanks Cameron for a great lunch ! We will be back in town soon to see you ! 5 stars 🤩“

“I've been going here since I was a child. It's always been consistent in taste. It sometimes take a little time to get your food but that's because it's always packed with people. I will continue to eat here for as long as I can. Definitely an Atlanta staple.“

“Ordered delivery through uber eats. The food was amazing. The mac was legit and the oxtails were great paired with it. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Will repeat and dine-in.Edit - Ordered through UE again and was not disappointed. Brisket and lobster was amazing.“

“The bbq shrimp is amazing! There wasn’t anything left on anyone’s plate! Service is always stellar!“

“Great place to to take your family or a date. Fantastic food with a variety of choices. The atmosphere is AWESOME and they have live music and DJ.“

“My husband and I went to this Chicken Salad Chick for Veteran's Day and we each were given a wonderful meal at no charge. The franchise owner, Tiffany, was incredibly gracious. Even when I asked to add a 3rd scoop of chicken salad (to share with grandchildren when I got home), she said I could trade it for the drink if I would like to instead of incur an upcharge. That was really thoughtful. We really enjoy Chicken Salad Chick for a change from the same old fast food options.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Well all I could say is 10 stars the customer service was in point and the food hot and well seasoned I had the pork chop dinner with Mac and cheese and cabbage with warm cornbread. They have praise and workshop on Friday’s from 3-4 this place is amazing please go and support Roberts Soul Food.“

“It was a little noisy outside but my room was extremely clean. There’s a nice bar and a restaurant, where I had breakfast. Most importantly, it was quiet at night and the showers worked well. Extremely accessible to the highway and a better value than some similar hotels.“

“I would prefer having baked chicken on the menu daily. Everything is fried or smothered!“

“Very good atmosphere and the special burrito was excellent.“
