“Let's just say they asked us to give them a 5 star rating and if we do we get 5 percent off... But the food was warm, the food was over priced, the server tried to charge us for items we didn't receive and my daughter got potatoes with her order . My daughter told the server she wanted onions and pepper . She brings out the potatoes with no opinions or pepper.Then she proceeded to lie in my daughter's face and say they're in there. She said where??? Then she leaves and goes back and says we're out of them. But you just lied and said they're in my daughter's potatoes when clearly there wasn't any on them.. I can go on and on with the issues me and my daughter had there. And the manager didn't come over and say anything.... Mannn I be trying to support my black own business but mannnn have to be and do better ....“

“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.“

“Visited this past weekend and everything was delicious. I had the creamy cat grilled. The grits were so creamy! Made with love ❤️ the fish was nicely seasoned and not overly so. We also had fried green tomatoes and fried donuts that reminded you of beignets. I’ll definitely be back! The bartender was on his job too! My Bellini did everything it was meant to do!“

“*Photos coming soon* This was the best breakfast experience I have had in years! Let me be clear, i live for breakfast food and will seek it out at any meal of the day if the fancy strikes me. It was very busy being a Sunday in the late morning but our wait was short and ended up with seats at the bar. This turned out to be fantastic because the staff behind the counter/bar were great. To top it off the food was exceptional!

The food was fresh made to order and I have nothing but praise for it. The timeliness coming from the kitchen was on point. And to their credit, we ordered a lot of food for just two people. We made this an event and it was worth it. Bacon, pork belly, pancakes, stuffed French toast, eggs benedict, and some excellent beverages made for a great meal and tons of leftovers. Nothing was basic and each item had a unique and exceptionally complimenting twist to your basic idea of these staple breakfast dishes.

Service with a smile. The staff all had great attitudes even when the place was packed and nearing midday.

It seemed like the perfect balance of chaos and coordination inside. The only thing that looked remotely out of place was the congestion at the door where groups were waiting for tables to become available. I will note that people unwilling to sit at the counter as spots became available did wait for quite a while. We were leaving when a couple that was waiting before we even arrived was just being seated. Like I said, busy.

To wrap this place up, 10/10 highly recommend. If its a short drive for you then make it a point to try this place if you haven't. If it hours away? Plan accordingly to beat the rush. I promise you will not be dissapointed.“

“Breakfast is AMAZING in this restaurant. The restaurant serves delicious shrimp and grits, salmon croquettes, and grits. LARGE fried lobster tails in a martini glass. They also highlight the generous portions, unmatched flavors, and relaxing atmosphere with good music.

I am calling people to take me out just to go back.

Only draw back was the 18% gratuity automatically charged to you, then tax and then requested a tip for the servers. Then if you use a credit card you are also charged a fee.

Worth the money“

“Muy buena comida y buen servicio. Buen lugar para comprar regalitos bonitos❤️🤩.“

“We love Unity. Been coming here since I was 8 years old. I am now 48 years old. It has not always been the same everytime, but its still amazing. I love coming here no matter and I am not Christian, but I love the prayer and the energy. Thank you Unity for still serving ATL southern breakfast the way our family used to do.“

“The food was delicious and well over serving size! We will be back!“

“Their rolls and donuts are always top quality!!! Next is a bacon sandwich! Last time I went in, someone was waiting for their bacon sandwich and it smelled amazing!!!!“

“The atmosphere was great, food was delicious, great vibe, positive vibe.“

“I be wanting to take pictures but it be so good but I can show the bag. First I want to say I just knew it was someone grandma cooking lol! Then I realized it was men who probably learned how to cook from either their mom or grandma. These guys a so nice, humble and kind. I work across the street and on Saturday morning before I go home I have to stop in. I had two grit bowls and two eggs biscuits one with bacon before. But the tea! Omg! They will know who I am now lol! The tea is so good. But I just want to say Thank you guys for being so nice and cooking comfort food that’s just really good! Thank you for the biscuits. I can’t wait to enjoy them with the strawberries and cream.“

“When I first enter the Hostess was super friendly and I love her blue hair. She kicked off the tone for my dinning experience. My food was great! My service was phenomenal! My server was Sarah, she was awesome. 20 out of 10 Highly recommended!!!“

“The food is very good. However it is never really hot. The Grits are delicious but not hot enough even the coffee. But the food is absolutely great. Please make your food hot“

“The food was hot and fresh and by the time I got there everything was ready. Service was fast and quick. Food was delicious 😋“

“I was here because so many of the local waffle houses have started pick up food at the window. This was a old-fashioned waffle House where you sat down and your food and enjoyed your breakfast. It was 5:00 a.m. and I was just getting off Uber. I wanted to have some breakfast before going home. I was very happy to find this place. I intend to boycott any waffle House that doesn't allow you to come in 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That's the waffle House I know.“

“Fried fish was the bomb. The loaded omelette that came with shrimp, chicken, bacon and sausage was delicious. Operationally there could be some improvements. I don’t think the kitchen has the right kitchen fan to circumvent the smoke. The door was open to let some of the smoke out and it was cold that day. The server was sweet and attentive but she we had to get our order corrected twice. My grits were cold and my fish was room temp but it was still good. The beignets were so good but only came with 3 in one order. Overall I will be back, the food was good, service good and the prices were amazing.“

“I had just the perfect time during my lunch break. The service staff was courteous, the food was great, and the ambiance was naturally pleasant. Soul food in Forest Park...

Parking: Parking can be challenging depending on the time and day...“

“My family and I stopped by this location to have breakfast and everything was good. The staff was friendly, the food was good and hot and the vibe was hospitable. I would recommend this location if you are looking for a good breakfast spot.“

“Dusky able to visit this quaint establishment. The menu was a nice selection of breakfast fare, mainly biscuits/ bread with various items. We got the Bhaskar Special and it was pretty good. Needed a little salt but they offered vegan sausage which was a plus.“

“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.“

“This was my first time trying First Watch and it was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon (to be expected). We were advised the wait would be around 30 to 40 minutes, but sat down inside and only waited about 5 to 10 minutes before we were called to be seated.

Pictured below is the Bacado omelette with cheese grits and the Tri-fecta with cinnamon chip pancake and scrambled eggs.

We were not expecting for the pancake to be so big, but everything was delicious.

Highly worth a try if you've never been.“

“Ms. D is a godsend in the Atlanta community, specifically the Historic West End. Follow them on IG and fb for updates on live music. They cater, and rent their dining room for special events. They're also an in-restaurant full service dining room. Ate there today for brunch at about 11am, and my friend had the burrito with vegan sausage and vegan cheese replacement and devoured it. The fresh fruit bowl she got with it was so ripe and perfect! I ordered shrimp quesadillas, which were remarkable, with a yummy, very fresh and crisp green salad. They had ginger tea, caffeinated and decaf coffee. Service was excellent. They've partnered with the city of Atlanta to hire teen waitstaff throughout the summer for fair pay. Nothing is more wholesome, mom and pop, and worthy of support and celebration than a true community based business! I will always support this eatery!“

“Visited Waffle House at 109 forest parkway tonight. The restaurant was extremely clean, organized. Employee uniforms were clean. My order was simple but professional. Unlike any other Waffle House that I have visited. Hailey and Tonya took great care of me.“

“We were seated quickly and our food was brought out quickly, even though it was a Saturday (around 11am). The food was wonderful! I got the Big Steak Burrito with blueberry pancakes as my side and every part of my meal was perfect! Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time!“

“Their food is good when it's not rushed. 3am is a great time to go there“

“Food was great and the cooks were 👍 great but the young waiter seemed very distracted and I had to flag him down 2 times about water and my bill. But he was nice ,just needs to work on his awareness, I still tipped him ,but not as much as I wanted too.“

“Great food and cheap. Good recommendation“
