“I might have got on the boss nerves today ( (bus driver ) but he a good dude!!!! lol my experience food was good I came back for a second time!!! . I like most about it is that it feels like I walked in my grandma kitchen every time. Real soul food cooking“

“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.“

“I stopped by for a rib sandwich, but they were out of ribs. I ended up getting the rib tips, fries, and a tropical punch instead, and I'm glad I did. Everything was delicious. The rib tips were flavorful, the fries were great, and the tropical punch was the perfect addition to the meal. I'll definitely be back again.“

“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!!!“

“I stopped by South Fork because I was craving authentic southern food. I was visiting the city and staying just 3 minutes away, so my cousins and I decided to check it out. We ordered catfish, mac and cheese, cornbread, and corn. It was by far one of the BEST soul food I've ever had, very authentic. I didn't feel bloated or gross afterward, which is a huge plus. The food tasted way better than the place looked. Super affordable, and out order came out in just 15 minutes.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was absolutely delicious. I had baked white meat chicken, collards, rice and gravy, sweet tea and peach cobbler. Chicken was amazing!! Hot, fresh, seasoned perfect and falling off the bone.
First time but definitely not the last. Highly recommend!“

“Tú best food in Georgia state“

“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.“

“I was told about this location from my Ma and even tho I got to the location during closing time I was still greeted warmly with smiles and excitement. Excellent service and food is top tier… this place is home away from home.. yall slide through.. they close at 7 so get here early cause I guarantee food don’t last long!!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing food. Big portions and extremely flavorful. Best collard greens I've ever had! Rib tips, Mac n chz amd sweet potatoes are out of thos world! And dont forget their delicious sweet tea! Can't wait to go back! Worth the wait!!“

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food, service & prices.“

“6/3/2026… The food was awesome today. I had a 4 veggies plate . The cornbread dressing was goooood. The collards with turkey was greaaat. The yams were awesome. The Mac and cheese had me smacking. All my food was hot and served with a smile thanks…..😃“

“Great service and good food. Highly recommend.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“Based on experience, when a business brag on their food, it usually doesn’t measure up. Happy to say, this was not the case with Screen House. The smoked wings and ribs were flavorful. When you don’t need sauce, it’s truly a sign of well seasoned meat. Although the Mac and cheese and greens were not the freshest, they were still tasty and I’ll attribute it to the time of day. I will absolutely add the restaurant to my rotation and look forward to tasting other delicacies.“

“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…🤓“

“The gravy on the smothered chicken and turkey wings was really good. Both cooked perfectly
My husband liked the collard greens
The only thing we didn’t care for was the rice, it was mushy. We will definitely be back I love a good smothered peace of meat. I gave the food a 5 because the flavor was on point.“

“The Beautiul IS a soul food spot that is having its challenges regarding their staff which affects the quality of the food right at the moment. Usually they'll have several different meat entrees but that day they were lacking. A alot of empty spots in the hot bar. The food is usually pretty decent though.“

“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!“

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

“I live in the area and decided to give this place a try with my sister's. First of all, parking is very limited, as it sits in a small plaza just off the highway. Entering, the restaurant is a bit dirty. The doors, floors, table and the areas against the walls and flooring where quite filthy. And the flies, woo. Since they are a Black Owned establishment, we decided to go ahead and try the food. I really wanted to try the Red Snapper, but they were out of it. Bummer. We ordered, got the food home, and the presentation was good. We got a Smothered Chicken plate with Mac n Cheese and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Another one with Cabbage and Mac n Cheese. A Whiting Fish plate with Yams and Mac n Cheese and a Veggie plate of Cabbage, Yams, Green Beans and Mac n Cheese.
The Mac n Cheese was very disappointing. There was no cheese pull, lacked flavor and the cheese was very orange and tasted artificial. The Smothered Chicken over Rice and the Whiting was good. However, the fish could have used a bit more seasoning. The Veggie plate did not come in a plate. Smh. It came in individual side containers. 🙄 The yams where okay, if you like the taste of Karo syrup. The green beans looked sort of old, although on camera they looked very good, go figure. They were also surprisingly very tasty. And last of all, the Garlic Mashed Potatoes were absolutely delicious. Overall we give the food 4 out of 5 stars. This review was done not to hurt this establishment, but to help them see where improvements are needed to better serve the community that supports their business. We need to support our Black Owned businesses and they need to serve us in a higher standard.“

“I love it love it love it!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
