“I’ve been using Jimpas for my annual fried chicken party since it was Uncle Buds on S Cobb Drive. Tonight was another banner event. Everyone raves about food and I am so happy! Thank you so much!,,“

“One of my favorites! The Fried Chicken is always crisp, hot and tender tasty. The veggies are excellent, salad bar is fresh with a nice selection of items to add to your salad. Enjoy!“

“Great chicken salad!!! Never really liked chicken salad until I had theirs!!! Great selection!!! Fast service inside. Drive-thru is a little slower. Absolutely great customer service!! Very friendly and helpful!!

Parking: The location on 92's lot is smaller and somewhat hard to even get in the parking lot!“

“We bought two pot pies and loved them. We went back and bought five more. We can say the chicken and jambalaya are both delicious. I cannot wait to try the others. They also reheat well!“

“Last week stopped by Big Shanty Smokehouse in Kennesaw, Georgia. I’ve been going here for years and always has been one of my favorite places in Georgia. Paul Holden of Willingham's World Champion BBQ recently took over as the new owner in August and excited to see what he continues to bring. He’s top notch pitmaster in the competition world but also has been in the restaurant business as well. I got the brisket which was amazing and also some of their signature Turkey ribs (Friday Special) and of course some Brunswick stew and Mac & Cheese. Everything was very good and will be back soon. Currently they are open Wed-Thursday 11am-2pm & Friday-Saturday 11am-7pm. (So stop by and see them.)

“Visiting in town and Googled restaurants near me. My friend wanted Soul Food so we decided to try this restaurant; we were well pleased. We ordered a lot to choose from and eat on for two days. We order fried chicken whole wings with rice and gravy and kale greens, turkey wings with mac n cheese and candied yams, and oxtails with cabbage and collards. The candied yams were not too sweet and paired greatly with the mac n cheese. We loved the kale better than the collards, though both were good. Might mix them next time. Fried chicken was seasoned just right. Only suggestions might be to try to limit the grease when pouring the oxtail gravy over the rice and add some green leaves to the cabbage; it was all white. And those little cornbread muffins tasted like home but wish they were bigger or maybe give two.

Overall we were extremely satisfied. Service was great and atmosphere was fine since this is a to-go spot only. We would go back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp.“

“The crust on the catfish is too thick and the pork chops could be breaded lighter maybe without bones. The waitress and the owner are very friendy and food is generally good and tasty. The desert poetions are undersized but I still enjoy the place“

“Thank you Clarence for making us feel welcome! Our first time vist. Staff was also nice and kind. Food was great!! See you again soon!“

“Pricey but worth it… really good steak and the cocktails are very creative and tasty“

“The food is delicious, good sized portions, and the atmosphere is very nice!! Will definitely be back.“

“Being part English, part Caribbean and part Hyderabadi you know I appreciate a damn fine curry, my son found this spot while out and about and took us out for a Monday night curry. The choices were great and I settled on a biriyani with a garlic naan and I wasn't disappointed. The food came out quickly and hot, I had so much I took some away with me. My wife and son had the tikka masala with samosa which they demolished. Thanks Daddy's we will be back - you need some take away menus as the pics on line don't do your food justice.“

“How have I never been here before and it’s so close to home?!? Really great bbq, sauces, Mac n cheese and Brunswick stew! Can’t wait to come back to try more!“

“Go there regularly. Food is always fresh and so tasty! The buffet has lots of options, especially on the salad bar. The staff if friendly and keeps your tea glass full, the tables cleaned, and takes care of any special needs.“

“We go here for every Sunday for our Bible Study Class. We always have big orders and we are always greeted at the drive-thru window by the manager. Our large order always comes out as fast an any other order and the manager always makes sure we have plenty of condiments and napkins for the class. The food is consitently delicious and fresh and it is always a positive experience. I highly reccomend this location. The service is impeccable.“

“Amaazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is great waitress is always so friendly and kind her name EB . The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get great food.“

“Alex and his crew are outstanding. Great food, Great price. Thank you“

“Wonderful experience today! Good food, clean dining area with nice decor, and friendly staff.
We tried two kinds of chicken salad today (Buffalo Barclay and Lauryn's lemon basil) and they were both wonderfully flavored and fresh! We also tried the loaded baked potato soup and brocoli salad. All food was brought to our table quickly and were very tasty! We were very appreciative of how they decorated for Veterans Day and honored veterans with a free meal. We will definitely be returning!

Kid-friendliness: They do offer a kid's menu with items other than chicken salad. Some of the items were: turkey sandwich, Mac and cheese, and uncrustables.“

“Great food and service . Very friendly home like feeling“
