“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 highly recommend! The server was very friendly and quick. They have wonderful pizza! I only eat pizza on rare occasions because it upsets my stomach so badly. Well, let me tell you, I'm glad I decided to try 404 while my family and I were visiting. It DID NOT make me sick. It is really good and the ingredients are truly fresh. Also, the bread sticks were the best I've ever tasted. I highly, highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We've been eating here for several years. It is always fantastic. Everything on the menu is delicious. You cannot go wrong with anything you order. Service is also always amazing. You have to get a side order of biscuits and gravy for the table because of the fact that that biscuit melts in your mouth. (Photo below)“

“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“

“Great atmosphere. Good people and the food was delicious.“

“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.“

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

“Good food. Good atmosphere.“

“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!“

“It was my first time here. I came with some friends while driving by and looking for something quick to eat in ATL. I was helped by a staff member who recommended the fried chicken sandwich to start with. He was very nice and welcoming. Food was great!! Fries were crispy.“

“I’ve came here with a couple times with some friends and it’s always been amazing, but this last time, my server, Sienna, made the experience that much better!!! She was attentive and made our experience even memorable because of her humor and kindness. I will be back and I will be asking for her again!!!!“

“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!“

“good Down home southern cooking“

“soul food good atmosphere down to earth 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“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!“

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

“fantastic food, great service and faster than "fast food"“

“Came in for a late breakfast and left full, happy, and with a great local rec for a Halloween parade. Folk Art keeps things simple and satisfying, with food that’s rich and filling without trying too hard.

I ordered the chorizo omelette and cheese grits. The omelette was solid—loaded with just the right amount of heat and not greasy. The grits were creamy and held their texture, not runny or bland like you sometimes get with sides.

What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Our server was quick, easy to talk to, and genuinely helpful. When we asked about local events, they casually mentioned the Halloween parade and gave us a heads up on timing and crowd size. That kind of local touch makes a spot feel like part of the neighborhood, not just another brunch stop.

The space has that lived-in charm—busy but not chaotic, and everyone around seemed to be enjoying their food. No long wait, which was a nice surprise on a weekend.

If you’re in the area and want a strong brunch option with real hospitality and comfort food that holds up, Folk Art delivers.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“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.“

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

“Went here today (10/8/23) for post-Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer meal—absolutely delicious & great service! Brisket Breakfast and short-stack pancakes with macerated strawberries and real whipped cream. And great coffee!!! 🤤“

“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.“

“Great vibes ��� Good music Good staff Good manager“
