“We decided to check out Virgil’s on the spur of the moment while we were in Atlanta… from us entering the door, manager Nassier made us feel welcome and thoroughly explained the menu. Once we were seated our waiter Brandon did an exceptional job taking our order and keeping our glasses full… the atmosphere was great and it experience was like none other…I can say this was one of the best if not the best dining experiences…“

“I came to Atlanta to visit my Son this weekend, wanted breakfast, he suggested Yummies Cafe...OMG, they did not disappoint, the staff was friendly, the food delicious. I got 2 pancakes/2 salmon croquettes they were ssssoooo good, my Son got the works (build your own), so much food we had to take home.. When I come back to visit, I definitely will visit again, will try other foods they serve besides breakfast.“

“Ribs, Pork Chops ,Wings,Turkey wings. I've tried everything on the menu. There's nothing I don't like. The peach cobbler cake is a unique treat. .......oh yeah the jalapeño cornbread is the secret gift.“

“This is the best bar on the southside. Manny is the best bartender in my opinion. He always acknowledges you when you come in and makes sure you have a good time. Nick and a few other staff also are good about stepping in to help out it make's your experience great. This bar gives you that home away from home vibe most of us in our 30s look for.“

“I have the stew beef, it wasn’t seasoned well and they left the fat on meat and I don’t like eating slimy texture. Cornbread muffins not good. Greens were ok and rice was fine , potatoes was ok. Food average like a 5/10 . Mango lemonade was pretty good! So many things to choose from hopefully I can go back and taste something better.“

“Food is always good and hot. Customer service is outstanding.“

“Good customer.This restaurant has a wide variety of food to offer. I had the Alabama Chicken Pasta. It was delicious, however the name is misleading. It doesn't come with pasta. It's a melody of peppers, broccoli, onions, and chicken. It is cooked in a white sauce, but not Alfredo. It also came with 2 sides that was included in the price. They also have a steady flow of customers which is a good sign. Overall I had a great experience.“

“good wholesome place! the people are always the best!“

“I have eaten at multiple soul food restaurants, but this one is right up there with Elea’s in Covington, Ga and Paschal’s. You might think you are eating your grandmother’s, put your foot in it, homemade with love meal. The food was so well seasoned and delicious I got angry when my roommate threw out my leftovers. I didn’t want to slap my mama but I did want to slap my roommate (just kidding). I will be ordering again and again.“

“Sarah 'put her foot" in every dish. Fried chicken and pork chops were spectacular. Had black-eyed peas, Collard greens, green beans, candied Yams and fried Okra. No frozen veggies here! All fresh and delicious. Rolls and Cornbread muffins were special, too. ❤️ this place!“

“We came to eat after a USATF Region 4 Junior Olympic Track Meet. We left with our bellies full and food enough to take back to our hotel because of the hefty portion size. Our food was hot and delicious! Ms. Sadie is down to earth! Come check her out!“

“Great food and atmosphere. The fried chicken in town. At the historic Martin Luther King trail, Stockbridge GA. Keith Evans.“

“This might be the best JJs in Atlanta. And the best looking franchise. Just protect your neck when you go. The most professional staff of the JJs (to me). I saw them make a mistake and the way they corrected it the situation promptly and made sure that everybody else was good was top tier. Very impressive.“

Vegetarian options: It's all good

Parking: There is parking

Kid-friendliness: The best energy ever

“I have ordered from her several times. We have tried several things, so here you go: Wings (honey hot are the bomb), beef hot dogs and fries are good. Turkey wings were good but could've been more tender. Cabbage and Mac and cheese (nah, not good) Philly Cheese Steak ( salty as hell) Do Not Try if you have Diabetes. Definitely a waste of money. Cornbread Dressing tasted more like cornbread (says my husband) Her customer service is GREAT!!! She's friendly and understanding. We will definitely order again. We'll just order what we know is good.“

“Great chef“

“Here’s why I am in between a four and a five star. I want to note that I didn’t look at the reviews before I went in. Now that I am writing the review I see all the other reviews and it’s funny to see what people have said, people have a wide range of opinions. The Plaza area is desolate and you wouldn’t see this place riding down the main street so I was glad that my wife stumbled upon more options that we didn’t know we’re in the area. The people are very nice and the small shop is clean. Their prices are extremely affordable, and when I received my food, the portion size was really great. I had enough leftovers to eat the second day without purchasing anything the next day. That’s a win. The food came out fast, which was great. The brisket was a highlight to me as it was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. After eating it a bit I did notice that in some areas it was salty. Another reviewer pointed that out about the brisket, which may mean this is how they season it often. It’s odd because in most areas it isn’t but Certain spots got salty. I didn’t want to take a star off for it because you can easily pull back seasoning. The Brisket was truly of the best brisket I have tasted in South Atl. I would order it again just to confirm it’s goodness. The fries were good and plentiful and the price was right. Fries could have been crispier, but I’ll request that on my next visit. Since prices were so good I ordered a veggie plate also so I could try their side dishes. Collard greens were real collard greens , and so were the Black Eyed Peas. The Black Eyed Peas broth taste more like gravy than the broth I was expecting. the peas were great, but I didn’t know how to feel about the gravy like broth. The potato salad looked wetter than I prefer and when I spooned it, I saw egg yolk, and I don’t prefer egg yolk in my potato salad. However, the potato salad was delicious. No complaints. the yams have flavor in the sauce, but it didn’t push through the yams. I could taste the vanilla extract pronounced in the thin liquid as I feel that a thinner cut would allow flavor to get into the yams and the sauce could have been a bit thicker. Yams are usually packed with sugar so I could appreciate these sweet potato chunks with flavoring probably healthier for me. All things consider with price, quantity, speed, service, menu selection, and flavor. You can now see why I was in between a four and a five star. Because I want them to continue to excel I preferred to give them a five star. if they were in a better location, they would sell more easily For sure. I know every store can’t start on the main road, I get it. I just don’t love this Plaza as I never would have known they were there.

Vegetarian options: Many vegan sides

Parking: Huge parking lot plaza all free“

“The food is great. This is one of my go to spots. The only thing I would take away from this place is that they won't let you substitute something else for the dressing. I don't like the dressing and would prefer rice and gravy instead, but I have to pay extra for that.“

“Great place, good vibes and drinks!“
