“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…“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that feels like home with food that tastes like heaven, Yummies Cafe in Riverdale, GA, is it! My family and I recently visited for breakfast, and we were blown away by the quality and care that went into every bite. The pancakes were the perfect mix of fluffy and crispy, with golden edges that added the ideal crunch. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the bacon? It was everything bacon should be… crispy, smoky, and satisfying. The fried chicken was a standout, perfectly seasoned and fried to a golden, juicy crisp. But the real star of the meal? The cinnamon honey biscuits!!! These were hands down the best biscuits we’ve ever had… soft, buttery, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth heavenly! The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Yummies Cafe is a hidden gem that truly lives up to its name. If you’re in Riverdale, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This the BEST soul food in ATLANTA everything is seasoned very well and fresh ! Anything that needs to be fried he cooks it on the spot ! The chitterlings are my favorite with the dirty rice and green beans !!! If I could put more then five stars I would !!!!!“

“The food is excellent. I have yet to have something that isn't good. Thanks for bringing your establishment to Gresham Road.“

“Barrio ATL is an entire VIBEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I ended up here on a Thursday. I was in the Cascade area and in the mood for tacos. After a search on Yelp Barrio ATL popped up and was where we headed for the night. As a heads up, Barrio ATL sits in the corner of the strip plaza. As such, the parking can be a bit tight so be sure to choose a space accordingly. Upon walking in, the ambiance puts you in the mindset of a trendy hookah lounge. Wall seating, chairs, and tables are to the left, and a VIP area style is to the right. The DJ is directly to the left of the VIP area and the bar area is to the left of the DJ. The building is medium-sized and build rectangular so there is ample length as compared to the width. There was no one at the Hostess booth when I walked in, however, the young lady got up from one of the tables in the back, greeted me, and quickly took us to our table. Once seated, the waitress assigned to our table came over and was super nice and welcoming. She introduced herself as Shay and went over the specials for the night. As the ambiance is more than just a casual bar, Shay’s service was superior. Her personality shined and she enhanced the overall experience of the night. Thank you, Shay! Based on the specials for the night I decided to go with the 3 Chicken Birriia Tacos for $9 (this was a great deal as they are usually $20) and a side of fries. As they didn’t have Sweet Tea on the menu I ordered a bottle of water. Shout out to Barrio ATL for serving Fiji. Ha. Babeeeeeeeeee… Here me when I tell you… I don’t know what kind of potatoes these fries were made with but they were the BOMBBBBBBBB. They were thick, perfectly fried, golden to perfection, and well seasoned. For the record, I would go back for the fries alone. LoL! The birria tacos were good as well. As this was my first time having them I don’t have anything to compare them to, however, I enjoyed the experience. The crunchiness of the taco shell with the well-seasoned chicken. The birria consomé was well seasoned and definitely enhanced the flavor of the taco, as such, for my first birria experience I enjoyed it. Furthermore, if the chicken was this good, I can’t wait to try the beef. Overall Barrio ATL is def one to add to the checklist when you are looking for a vibe. The DJ was on point, the ambiance was hittin like it needed to be, and the overall flow of the environment was ideal for a kick it/unwind/grab a drink type of vibe.“

“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.“

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

“The place is a little small to cause a long line. But I think of somebody came outside and took orders from the people outside the plates could be ready. But the food is good no lie. Hope they find a system to move there line faster. I love banana pudding but $10 was too much for me to pay for a small portion so I can't tell you how it taste. But I'm sure it is good

Parking: Ox tails was good“

“Mr. Lewis has a powerful and blessed attitude. His soul food is simply fantastic!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a Excellent place to eat, with great food and customer service. Guarantee to love the experience with family or just a individual outing.“

“I'm not a big fan of soul food, only because what people consider as soul food now looks like sloop & it's not good at all..... BUT baby, when I say this food was amazing, it was AMAZING. I got the vegetarian plate, I chose the Mac & Cheese, lima beans, greens, yams & for dessert peach cobbler. It was not over seasoned. Everything blended so well in my palate. I was more than satisfied. After several hrs, I was still full..lol“

“Tú best food in Georgia state“

“Down home southern cooking served up quickly and with a smile. The banana puddin' was to die for and their turkey & dressing dinner was better than some big brand restaurant that I've had. Prices are reasonable“

“I ordered catfish nuggets, grits, and biscuits for breakfast which was very tasty! I also tried the fried chicken and collard greens on my next visit which was good too! Family friendly atmosphere with great customer service! Truly enjoyed it!“

“Great service and good food. Highly recommend.“

“Flavors catered my Dad's 75th Birthday Celebration about a couple of weeks ago (January 25, 2025). The food was GREAT/ EXCEPTIONAL! And, the staff was very warm, kind, and hospitable. Kudos and Blessings to them. Frederick“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I was a little disappointed because I came specifically for jollof rice and they didn't have any. So I bought oxtails and rice and fried plaintains and it was delicious. The cashier was very friendly and informative. I will definitely go back“

“Really, it's a good place to eat. You get a lot of food for your money. Mr. & Mrs. Brown have amazing energy. I love this spot

Vegetarian options: It's all good

Dietary restrictions: Just let Mrs. Brown know

Parking: There is parking

Kid-friendliness: The best energy ever

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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.“

“Been looking for good BBQ on this side of town, and wow i finally found it ❤️ THE RIBS WAS SO GOOD WITHOUT THE SAUCE AND of course I tried the sauce and it has a nice flavor as well. Greens, Baked Beans and Potatoe Salad was excellent. I snuck one of my son’s Lemon Pepper wings ? yum Yum YUM !!! I’m surely going back and soon. O the prices are wonderful !! Much Love ❤️“

“JJ's NEVER disappoints! Love every single thing from this restaurant. My food is always so good I eat it before I remember to snap a picture! 😂 Today we had wings, gizzards, fried mushrooms and zucchini with German Chocolate cake and banana pudding. It was gone in 15 minute. That's how good JJ's is. Matter of fact we'll probably be back two more times this week, at least. Best home cooked meal, without being a home cooked meal. 💯“

“Great chef“

“BEST SOUL FOOD IN SOUTH ATLANTA SHE COOKS LIKE MY GRANDMA!!“

“Awesome Soul food Seasoned to perfection. Large variety of Meats & sides. Very clean and cozy atmosphere“

“I visit today Sunday 8/4/24. I am very familiar with this establishment. The food is good but today I was met with attitude from the little short female meat server. The vegetable server and cashier was good with customer service. I suppose they all are not Christians or maybe christian without christian attitude. Sometimes you are the only Bible people read. The counting of how many Candi yams you give is crazy for the price you pay for a dinner. I think I might go somewhere else for Sunday dinner.“
