“If you’re looking for some of the best chicken in Atlanta, Rickettes is the spot! Hands down, the chicken is top-tier—crispy, flavorful, and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The owner was there when we stopped by (we’re new to town), and he went above and beyond, letting us sample the turkey wings, ribs, and turnip greens. Everything was delicious, but that chicken stole the show. The green beans were tasty, the catfish was solid, and the turnip greens were surprisingly good. Great food, great hospitality—definitely worth a visit!“

“I don’t get up this way often but when I do I always eat here. Great meat and three, great cornbread and biscuits, friendly service and the price is right. Can’t beat it. I know why they have been here so long.“

“Everything was good, I have been looking for good food. Freddy Mac's is the boom. Lemonade off the chain.“

“I had the beef brisket with Mac and cheese, collard greens and corn bread. This was probably one of the top 5 best Mac and cheese I had. The collard greens were a bit salty but I liked them. The corn bread was good but a bit dry. The bbq sauce was great I got hot and it wasn’t too spicy it was just right. I would definitely go here again. The prices are a bit pricey but it definitely was a good meal I can’t complain. I had a couple of shots at the bar while I waited for my food. They had a DJ in there it was really nice atmosphere.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Five Star Experience That You Must Try“

“Hands-down THE BEST American Deli location. I’ve been to locations across the south and I’ve had no other with service or food like this one. Plus, I haven’t seen another with honey garlic pepper. They make their Philly Chickens with heart too.“

“I come here at LEAST 3x a week. The wings are ALWAYS FRESH & FIRE ? ALWAYS!! I will say that I personally never order anything besides the wings only. I may someday try the fried rice. The reason for the 4stars is because my very very very 1st x coming here I tried a gyro ? & wings. The gyro was DISGUSTING & COLD!! However, the wings were GOODT. Which is why i continued to come back for the wings. Now, every time i go i get wings only & they are literally ALWAYS fresh & fire !!! I can’t recommend variety from them at the time but i DO recommend the wings & i recommend u give them a try ??“

“I love the business the food is tasty and delicious. Professional atmosphere and the customer service is always so nice. The owner and her cooks put their tender loving care in all the meals“

“Decided to try this place since having new management and I must say that it is so much better than before. The food is freshly prepared, and the portion size is great for the price point. They have specials throughout the week and offer a variety of menu items. The tacos 🌮 have become my favorite! The wings are a good size and prepared just how I ask them to be cooked. Overall, I would highly recommend that you give them a try. Take advantage of the specials while they last! $1.50 tacos 🌮 😋 on Tuesdays.“

“Let me start by saying, I have one word and that is SUPERB!!!!!! After a day of errands, Shauni and I were ready to eat. After executing a search on Yelp, I came across GQ BBQ and we decided to pull up. Y’all know I love me some BBQ. Upon arrival, the location was super to find as it sits on the main road. When pulling into the parking lot there is parking on both sides as well as parking in the back. The outside was clean and vibrant. We knew we were in for a treat as we were able to smell the bbq before even getting to the restaurant. Yes, the power of a good aroma to captivate the sense of smell. 😜 Heading inside, the location kept with the vibrant color on the walls as to draw your eyes to the menu. There are ample seating options as well so if you desire to eat in as we did, there is indoor and outdoor seating. Taking some time to review the menu, I decided on the Rib Dinner with Baked Beans, Collards, and I ordered two orders of cornbread as well and decided to not get the white bread that comes with the meal. To note, the cornbread is an extra charge. Once our order was placed, we took a seat and enjoyed the games that were playing on the televisions. As we were engrossed in conversation, before we knew it, our food was ready. I retrieved my plate and headed to my seat. The moment I opened that plate, my entire life smiled. After being enticed by the aromas, I was now overtaken by the visual presentation of this meal. As I opted for the sauce on the side, I was able to see the ribs in their naked state and capture the full fragrance of seasoned pork without the coverings of sauce. Babeeeeeeeeeee, GQ BBQ showed off with this meal. Let’s talk the food: Ribs: well seasoned, tender, meaty, minimal gristle, the right amount of fat for a nice chew, great portion size as the dish comes with ribs and rib tips. The sauce was an added layer of joy. I opted to mix their Gresham blend with the Sweet and my mouth had a full mouthgasm of robust flavors, joy, and excitement. These ribs were the absolute bomb with or without the sauce. Baked Beans: perfectly cooked, well seasoned, fresh. Collards: well doctored, tender,perfect pairing for the ribs. Cornbread: absolute gold status, perfectly sweet, cakey with a light crumble, buttery, golden baked, worth the extra cost. The cornbread is slightly small, so I would suggest getting three. LoL. Overall, GQ BBQ was an amazing experience. The ribs dominate the meal as they should, however, the sides compliment the ribs very well. The entire meal is a 10/10 and I will be back very soon for another order. Though I live nowhere near GQ BBQ, I will make sure to make my am way back a few times a year to have my soul fed and taste buds tantalized.“

“Great BBQ. The baked beans were really good 😋“

“You Must eat here!!! The brisket is meat candy - melts in your mouth!!! The chicken is moist and the bbq flavor is tops!!! We tried sweet potato souffle and the mac n cheese - both were delicious! Great for a quick dine in or an easy meal for the road.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Everything I had was a 10+ with a large portion. I recommend this food truck for any event. You won’t be disappointed.“

“We decided to go to a different terminal than ours to eat and Longhorn didn’t disappoint..It started great when our waitress Heather showed up at our table and stayed great when we got our steaks..It was a great experience from start to finish Thanks for making our 3 hour layover much better“

“I’ve live in this area 8 years! And Tookes is a never miss ! My fave is the pulled pork sandwich! I’m funny about baked beans but these never miss!!! And mister in the back is fine ? sooo good food, great southern hospitality and manners… and eyecandy! I’ll take it !!“

“I had rib tips dinner. It was definitely good and I forgot to say no sauce so I could really tell. And it was still good. I don't eat cheese but the Mac and cheese look so good I had to taste it and it was good. The stomach ache (cheese) I ever had.“

“Lunch was great!! Loved the location, service was awesome and the food was fresh and hot!! I will definitely return without any hesitation.“

“I get takeout from This Is It at least twice a week. The food selections are varied & outstanding but we especially love the collards. The waitstaff is exceptional; always greeting me with a smile and even remembering what I usually order. I highly recommend This is It if one desires food that tastes like home cooked and service that is beyond compare.“

“Good tasting food! 🥘 will try again.“
