“This place is truly the jewel of Tucker, Georgia! Absolutely everything was outstanding! On our first visit to the area, my husband and I saw a YouTube video review and decided to give them a try. Well the first impression is a lasting impression...We were greeted by Sharee who was so genuinely friendly and kind. She welcomed us and explained the menu. The place was emaculate...clean and crisp! The food bar was so neat and clean. All of the food items were hot, fresh and smelled soo good. I had the fish and shrimp. I later found out that the fish was catfish... I don't even like catfish but I guess I like theirs because I ate every crumb of it. The shrimp were jumbo and sweet... cooked perfectly. There were too many choices for sides and everything was exceptionally seasoned and perfectly balanced. The portions were big too. Yummy desserts!! OMG the tea was AHHHHHHHHMAZING! I Drank 2 glasses. The table staff were very nice too. They were very attentive and kind. We were truly impressed at the overall attentive to the fine details. All of the tables were clean.. not a stray crumb to be found the floors were clean and dry too. We had a 5 star dining experience at a very decent and fair price. We told Sharee at check out that everything was great! She genuinely cared about our experience and invited us back when we are back in the area. We certainly will. They alone were worth the 4 hour drive to Tucker. We will definitely be back! I strongly recommend them without hesitation. You won't be disappointed.?“

“I like to support local spots when I’m in area for business. This is a winner, the cabbage is so good, had to go back and order more. I wanted to try the key lime cake, and so did many others who ordered after me. They were sold out. Next time for sure.“

“I’ve stumbled upon this place on my lunch break and am happy I came here. The food and service was great the first day and has been the same my 2 visit afterwards. My two coworkers were with me each time and we enjoy talking about their food in the office. Hopefully, everyone gets a chance to stop pass here. Everyone’s energy was great regarding service but my direct engagement was with April. She is awesome. ❤️“

“We eat here about once a month for many reasons. It's quieter than most restaurants. I bring two hard of hearing senior adults and we can actually have a conversation while we are there! The waitresses are always very quick, friendly and attentive. And the food is fabulous! This time I had field peas, broccoli casserole, cabbage casserole and green beans. All was very tasty, serving size good, and it comes out so quick! I love having this sit down restaurant in our area!Parking: Much more parking in the back!Wheelchair accessibility: I bring two people in with walkers, no problem.“

“Eating at Huskers has never disappointed. Fun place to take the kids and visitors for breakfast-all-day menu. Meals come out of the kitchen relatively quickly even when the dining room is busy. Their chicken and waffles situation never disappoints and the wait staff is kind.Kid-friendliness: Side of scrambled eggs and a highchair - Huskers was happy to oblige my baby boy!“

“Visited on a nice spring evening and sat outside and enjoyed our meal. They have a wonderful bbq menu with a mix of Tex Mex. After ordering drinks we ordered nacho appetizer and the plantains. The nachos were great and all five of us cleared the platter. The plantains were very good. The table ordered pulled pork, ribs, pork sandwich, and fantastic sides. Our waiter said his favorite is the Brunswick stew and a couple of us ordered and were very happy we took his advice. The service was great and our waiter couldn't have been better. Great meal!“

“The food was awesome. James accommodating me on my first order for my team. Our boss treated us to lunch and we chose Soul Food. It was excellent. We ordered ribs, meatloaf, catfish and oxtails with a variety of sides. Thank you James for help Top Notch Assistance!“

“Coaxum's Low Country Cuisine offers an unforgettable dining experience, and their Blackened Salmon with the bourbon sauce is a true standout. Paired with flavorful red beans rice and perfectly cooked string beans, mushrooms, and onions side, every bite is a delight. The drinks, described as good and strong, complement the meal beautifully. I've heard rave reviews about the curry shrimp, and I can't wait to try it myself, especially alongside the tantalizing sweet plantains. The attentive waiter, offering great recommendations and expertly crafted drinks, enhanced the overall dining experience. With delicious food and excellent customer service, Coaxum's is definitely worth a visit.“

“As one of the only restaurants on property, this place has to hold a heavy burden. That burden is well carried here! The onion rings are spectacular, and when I asked "How is the coleslaw?" Grace responded, "Honey, there ain't nothing to that stuff, get the onion rings." She was right! Those Onion rings were TOP NOTCH! I personally had the Commons Double-Stack Turkey, (great, the meat was delicious and the bacon cooked perfectly, with texas-toast and fresh lettuce and tomatoes.) and I had the salmon BLT, the fish was delicious and paired well with the Garlic Aioli. The setting is beautiful and overlooking the lake at Stone Mountain cannot be beat! The staff is kind and the service is impeccible. I'm just sad that this park is falling into obscurity, more people used to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding area, and now it seems like most of the traffic is just for golf.“

“The food, service and atmosphere is on 10000% I Love ordering here!!!! Want some hearty soul food? This is the spot! Staff is amazing, I ordered catering 15lb brisket for my workplace and it was gone before closing. They loved it like I knew ;) hope everyone gets a chance to try it! My first time I was nervous so I asked what’s the best thing on the menu, Chef said everything! I didn’t believe it til I tried it. He wasn’t lying every single thing they make is amazing cus I’ve tried every item here“

“This place always has excellent breakfast offerings, and the servers on the buffet line are always pleasant and courteous. The biscuits are made from scratch; you see the bacon and sausage being cooked on the flattop griddle behind the serving line. They have a wide variety of options for breakfast, and you can get your food to go or dine in. I'm always grabbing a couple of biscuits to go. The prices are fair for home cooking from scratch. This place doesn't taste exactly like my grandmother's, but it does put me in the mind of a morning country breakfast.“

“Well, even though this last time I was there, the food was good. However, I missed Breakfast/Brunch my "The Hair of My ChinChinChin"?. I miss the Old Hickory House, on Piedmont Road, in the Atl., near Monroe Drive. Oh, and my waitress was EXCELLENT, very attentative.Wheelchair accessibility: Plus lots Handicap parking too.“

“Okay I wanted my mom to try a different fried Chicken other than KFC. I found this place on Yelp because it was on my way home. The reviews were good when it came to the chicken the sides not so much. So the first thing I noticed is that no one spoke to me when I walked in for an uncomfortable amount of time. The place is very small but there are about five people and an L-shape kitchen area. The cashier was new so I understood her reluctance because she was putting together an order behind the counter. A customer actually had to say, "Hey there's somebody here who wants to order." I ordered the 5 piece all dark, just chicken special $6.99. I added a side of green beans which was okay, nothing special. The premium order of collard greens was so spicy that I couldn't even close my mouth. It was ridiculous. People should be allowed to add their own spiciness level to their collard greens. I didn't finish them I didn't want them and I threw them away. So all in all, I will be back because 20 minutes later after I got home my chicken was still crispy and boy was it yummy!.“

“Ms. Pat's Southern Bistro in Stone Mountain offers an unforgettable soul food experience. From the moment we stepped in, the warm hospitality set the tone. The menu boasts classic Southern dishes cooked with love and authenticity. The fried chicken was a crispy delight, the collard greens rich and flavorful, and the cornbread had that perfect homemade touch.“

“First time visiting 3/14/2024. I went and got something to eat. I passed here on Sunday leaving Northern Tools. I saw that Chick-fil-A was closed on one side and the parking lot was full on the other side. I was at the light to turn. I got a plate of food fried chicken and fried okra and fried green tomatoes with mashed potatoes and yams bread was a biscuit a roll and a over cooked corn muffin. Food is made fresh hot and warm delicious.“

“Not sure why this place has less stars. My guess is that it's not a pretty little instagrammable spot. The food and service here is solid. I've never had a bad dish here. They serve lunch, breakfast and dinner and everything tastes great. Would definitely recommend to everyone I know.“

“David was extremely patient and professional while under pressure by customers and a server yelled at him and called him a “boy” and “stupid” in front of everyone she was screaming across the restaurant for no apparent reason without actually minding her own business that’s so disappointed and embarrassed of her to act like this in front of regulars. I hope management fires her immediately a poor poor reflection of Piccadilly and the brand itself.“

“This restaurant is one of my favorites. I usually order the half chicken dinner with baked beans, macaroni and cheese with the cheddar biscuits. The smoked chicken is great, moist and tender, seasoned just right. So far I haven’t had a dinner that I didn’t enjoy. The new jalapeño & cheese sausage links are really good as well.“

“I live in Augusta Ga but I only will buy food from Shane's Rib Shack in CONYERS GEORGIA. Shane's in Conyers has the best fresh food , best staff with the best customer service. My husband and I enjoy the Shane's Rewards program on our Shane's Rib Shack App. Conyers store is a 20 the store in my area is a 5.“

“Man this food is good af. The only issue I had was the the cube steak was thin and wasn't like advertised. But the apple and peach pie omg pork chops bussin. And the people cool af that work there too. Oh greens be hit or miss.. other than that this the spot!!!“

“I'm shocked by some of the reviews. Of course I completely agree their hrs should be updated on Google as it is a total inconvenience to come to a place that says they are open only to find out they are closed. This has happened to me a few times with them however this is a family-owned business with elders who may not be that tech savvy to even update Google. Idk I guess I believe in giving grace the same way God gives us as we are not perfect by any means, not one of us.Now be advised I stick to the basics (Collard greens, mac & cheese, baked chicken or smothered porkchops) and they neverrrrr miss on their food for me. The prices are VERY reasonable especially that lunch plate and as a God fearing woman I LOVE how they always have gospel music playing to set the atmosphere. I recently stopped eating meat and even their veggie plate is a reasonable price with a handy portion of their veggies.Now every now and then I get a little jealous because when I come in with my man he be requesting stuff and the lady gives it to him but when I come in by myself and request the same thing she say she can't do it? I still love yall though?“
