“JenChan’s is a friendly neighborhood hangout with an amazing menu, friendly waiters, and a wide selection of games. The food is always fantastic and the drinks are always strong & cold. I would recommend the ginger margarita slushies, the fried mushrooms, and any of the pizzas!!!“

“I visited 404 a few weeks ago with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was an absolute 10/10! Everything we ordered was delicious.

The only downside was the service. It wasn’t a busy night, yet the service was extremely slow. Over the course of two and a half hours, our server only checked on us twice. I’m not sure if it was a staffing issue, but it definitely dragged out our visit longer than expected.

Despite that, I’m still giving 5 stars and would visit again for the food and ambiance alone.“

“The food here truly feeds the soul! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—warm, welcoming, and attentive. Every dish we tried was seasoned to perfection, delivering that classic Southern home-cooked flavor that’s hard to find. It felt like a comforting meal straight from grandma’s kitchen. I absolutely loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Five stars all the way!“

“the best! we ordered the chicken salad sandwich and the standard breakfast. all very amazing.. and the mimosas are excellent.“

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Vegetarian options: Majority of the vegetarian options are sides, the appetizers, and desserts. The Vegetable platter consists of a variety of the sides that they offer. While the platter was filling and did taste delicious, I would not recommend if majority of the party is vegetarian or vegan as they do not have a separate vegetarian/vegan menu (that I am aware of or saw). So if you are vegetarian, your only option will be the platter.

Parking: Complimentary, but mandatory Valet parking where you can “pay what you want”. There is no fixed price for the parking. We offered to park our own car, but was told that was not an option in their parking lot.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I visited the Moreland location, ordered the Mild wings and grits. The grits are very taasty! Not as thick as I would like it but it was good! The chicken was very juicy the perfect crunch but certainly with a spicy kick didnt expect it lol, but the manager and staff was very accommodating🫶🏾 Will definitely come back but will order the flavor under the mild☺️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place ! Awesome food and drinks!“

“Great food and great people.“

“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.“

“Our server was excellent! The atmosphere was great. The food was decent. I was tempted to try the shrimp and grits but the bbq sauce turned me off. I opted for a traditional breakfast that consisted of grits, toast, bacon, and eggs. It’s a quaint little place with a variety of dishes. It was my first time here but it will not my last.“

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

“good Down home southern cooking“

“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.“

“Good food. Good atmosphere.“

“I’ve been going to Chicken Salad Chick for a while now and have never had any complaints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistent, and the place is clean and welcoming every single time.

But what truly sets this location apart is Fernando. Whether he’s at the cashier or working in the back, he’s always there with a smile and an incredibly polite attitude. He genuinely goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. Need something? Fernando’s already on it. It’s rare to come across someone who consistently brings that kind of energy and care to their job, and it really makes a difference.

Massive props to him and the whole team. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area!“

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

“You can have a event there, also have food and alcohol all in the same place, very convenient“

“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!“

“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.“

“Only eaten here once It was outstanding the food was Great and the Service was Great Will be back❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“My family and I had a wonderful time here for Mother's Day Brunch!! Our server, Sunshine, was so fun and energetic which made our experience. The ambience was also amazing, and the food was delish! It was also super easy to get a reservation kind of last minute for a busy day, and they were very understanding and nice when I called to alert them we would be 15 minutes late. It was quiet when we first arrived (11:15) and around 12:30 the dj music started and more people arrived so it definitely got louder and livelier, but nothing crazy.“

“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.“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“I try to visit this place every time I am in Atlanta. We love the atmosphere, service, and food. Their apple butter for their biscuits is delicious. Try it! You won't be disappointed.

Parking: No problem finding a spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy too although we did not have any that day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Noticed the sidewalks were marked and establishment is on street level.“

“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!“
