“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.“

“Listen, this is real old school cooking like food from your mom’s house back in the day. Real seasoning, real love. Mr. James and Mr. Earl feel like those cool uncles who can throw down in the kitchen. It’s hard to find places like this anymore. My family loves it, and the portion sizes are generous.

Much love,
The Boyd Family“

“Ok, honestly the location seemed a little sketchy at first, but boy am I glad we stopped in!!! We ordered the catfish, oxtail, greens, yams, mac & cheese, rice. EVERYTHING was hittin! Its been a while since I've purchased soul food and be impressed by ALL of the food. Give this place a chance so that they stay open, so i can have a close place to get good food!“

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

“The other day I placed an order through DoorDash for some beef tips w/rice, and 2 sides but my order was wrong and DoorDash refused to give me my money back. I called Big Daddy's Soul Food to let them know and Big Daddy himself made sure that I got my food fresh and hot as he had one of his employees deliver it to me. I always order from them when I don't feel like cooking and I am truly grateful for that moment. I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service you provided!! Great customer service!!!“

“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!“

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

“Had the most incredible experience at Red Rice Restaurant here in Atlanta. The food was amazing, but what made it unforgettable was meeting the owner — a fellow New Yorker with the most beautiful spirit. We instantly bonded over our shared roots, entrepreneurship, growth, and wanting more for ourselves.

She shared a bit of her journey with us — how COVID led her into the world of cooking, and how it became her passion. Watching her move through the restaurant laughing with customers, joking with her kids, and genuinely loving what she does was truly inspiring. The whole space feels like love, family, and purpose.

As a pescatarian, I was SO happy with the options — I enjoyed the salmon, fried shrimp, baked mac & cheese, garlic string beans, and of course their signature red rice (comes with every meal and is so good). And that’s just a small piece of the menu!

10/10 recommend. If you’re in the area, go. If you’re visiting Atlanta, make sure you stop by. You will not be disappointed. ❤️✨“

“This my first time with my hubby! The food was amazing! The ribs and rib tips were cooked just right! The collards, yams, and baked beans were seasoned and great! The mac n cheese was good but it was slightly under seasoned! I will be back and highly recommend this place! The beautiful lady at the front was friendly! 5/5!“

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

“First time customer but it certainly wont be my last. I got the beef tips and they were perfection. My only complaint is that I wanted to try everything but they only serve meat by the plates. Please add a meat sample option for greedy people such as myself 😇“

“Tropikal Bird is truly amazing! I've dined there twice now, and each time the food was delicious. Two weekends in a row! I'll definitely be returning and bringing others along next time!“

“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.“

“Tú best food in Georgia state“

“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 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!“

“Best pulled pork in south ga!!“

“Great food, service & prices.“

“So Today was my second time going to this spot today . Both times I order a veggie plate . For food was good but could be better.I didn’t cook so close to home cooking with me doing it lol. My return isn’t just about the food the service and old feeling of southern hospitality . I’m from Atlanta not to many spots like this still around so I try to support black own businesses in my City . Funny how you get in line and people remind you of your upbringing if your from a large family standing in waiting for them to ask you what you having. . Yes yes ma’am, yes sir I will like etc.. then you get ya food Scared to complain being thankful for them who Prepared to serve you. Thanks“

“Delicious Italian Beefs and wonderful customer service.“

“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“

“Without a question of a doubt the BEST SOULF FOOD I’ve EVER HAD 🙌🏽 the wait is long but WELL WITH IT. There is no menu posted outside and I had to decide quickly with the help of the server but the food was SO AMAZING I didn’t have time to take pics. I got the catfish and fried pork chop platters and it came to about $26“

“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 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.“

“I Was Completely Blown Away At This Restaurant. I Was Sat By A Beautiful Host Which Turn Out To Be My Server. Renisha Was Very Knowledgeable About The Ga Craft Beers. She did an amazing job by explaining each item on the menu. I Gave Her The Opportunity Of Ordering My Food and Beer. Oh Boy She Did Not Disappoint. I had the Blackened Catfish with rice and beans and an Orange Still Diva Beer To Drink. It was her two favorite items and I had no complaints! Renisha service was the best service I have had in years. My water cup was never low and if I had more time I would have had another beer. Renisha Was Very Patient With Me Even Though The Restaurant Was Very Busy. She is also a team player and is willing to pick up the slack from others. As A Restaurant Manager Please Give This Server Her Flowers, She Deserves it !“

“Great service and good food. Highly recommend.“

“Ok, so I love rib tips & really only get them from 2 places in Metro Atlanta.. but I did pull up & try the Rib Tips at Screen House.. & they were EXCELLENT! When I walked in, it very clean, the young lady behind the register greeted me right away & was very professional. I'm honestly not big on doing reviews.. but I was so impressed & the Rib Tips were so good.. I had to jump on here & say something.. If you're reading this, you should really go check them out. They come with sauce, but I ate mine without it. Well seasoned & very tender.. not dry & hard like some I've had around the area“

“Decent, seasoned, and home cooked fell. Short ribs were really good and hearty. Chicken was well seasoned. Mac and cheese was good also. Cornbread was a little hard but I mixed it with the greens to soften it. If you are hungry, you will definitely be satisfied eating here.“

“Amazing experience! Don’t know just where to begin. I love the pork chops, black eyed peas over rice, the fish and grits, the meatloaf; just so many great tasting items! Plus Diane, Tony and the children all are rock stars, in the kitchen and running the show. Such a pleasure to enjoy…🤓“

“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!“

“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!“

“I'm so glad I found your place. The food is on point and no complaints but a full belly. I went to another restaurant in Jonesboro for some home cooked meal and was disappointed because they didn't have morning on their menu that was being advertised. But IT'S ABOUT SOUTH came through and I'll be back for sure“

“The smothered chicken and rice was 9/10. Very flavorful, I wanted just a little less salt. It wasn’t overpowering but it was just a little too much. Cabbage and green beans were solid. The fried wings and mac n cheese were decent. Service was good. We were greeted and the food came out quickly. I’d say overall it’s a solid takeout restaurant.“

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

“If you want chicken, fish , fries, slaw, fried okra, or Hush Puppies this is hands down BEST place to get my goodness it was great! I will drive from South Carolina just to eat here! You will not be disappointed. Did I mention if you leave hungry from here it's your own fault! Fresh and awesome100/10 rating from me and my family!“

“Fast, cheap and tasty. A classic meat-and-three southern diner. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Excellent value for the price; you can get a square meal with a protein and lots of veggies for like $10. For maximum ambience, eat your food there and watch some Judge Judy.“

“I love it love it love it!“

“authentic ethnic African dishes, very fulfilling.“

“I've been going here since I was a child. It's always been consistent in taste. It sometimes take a little time to get your food but that's because it's always packed with people. I will continue to eat here for as long as I can. Definitely an Atlanta staple.“
