“My husband and I came here for the first time on New Year’s Eve. Parking was easy and from the moment we walked in we were greeted. We were seated immediately at a nice table and were given time to soak in the atmosphere and look over the menu. I ordered the Rockefeller oysters and a Long Island, both were delicious and did not disappoint! My husband had a jack and coke. For our entree I had the salmon sliders( which were recommended by our waitress) they were filling and oh sooo good! My husband had wings and truffle fries which were nice and crispy. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves 10/10 I recommend.“

“So good! Do not miss this place. What a culinary gem in the heart of Midtown Atlanta! Everything me and my friends ordered was so delicious! I had the Fried Chicken Pimento Crisp Sandwich and the Gouda Mac and Cheese... it was phenomenal. The side of Blackened Brussels was literally one of the best things I have ever eaten and I didn't think I liked Brussels Sprouts! Go figure!

I enjoyed the Beignets for dessert and they were epic! Light, crisp with the perfect amount of powdered sugar and an out of this world Rosemary Hazelnut Praline dipping sauce. Incredible ending to a stellar meal.

Met the chef/owner Jordan and he was amazing and oh so talented. We loved everything he made so much... we ate here twice during our 4 day visit from Dallas!

Located in the charming Peacherie Food Hall with inside and outside seating in a sunny, warm environment.

Easy Parking in the Lot B garage around the corner. Discourse Eatery validated our parking for 2 hours.

Can't wait to come back!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ RC’s is hands down one of the best soul food restaurants around! Every time I visit, the customer service is consistently excellent — the staff always makes you feel welcome and cared for. The food is equally amazing: fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. You can really tell they put love into every dish. If you’re looking for a place that combines great hospitality with delicious, authentic soul food, RC’s is it. I highly recommend it — you won’t be disappointed!“

“I visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening and the restaurant had a brisk clientele. The waitress came to our table immediately and asked for our drink orders and brought them back very quickly. I ordered the above items and in less than 15minutes i had my order and it was hot and seasoned to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a quick wholesome meal, with all taste you remember from growing up.“

“This is our favorite oyster pig out place! Oyster Happy Hour is the best! Mussels are to die for. 😍“

“Absolutely loved this place ! First time going and the food , coffee, service was great! Went with a group of four and was seated within 10 mins. I had the chicken and waffles. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Price point was a plus ! Definitely recommend“

“amazing Chicken Salad,, my favorites are OLIVIA'S OLD SOUTH and JALAPEÑO HOLLY!“

“Where to start? What a delightful evening and meal. The waiter, to start with, was amazingly attentive and kept up with us the entire evening. Also the owner came over and filled us in on the recent history. Liquor license is in now but I don't drink so that was not important. Let me segue to the food. OMG, the mushroom and goat cheese fondue with tomato jam was to die for. It was served in a cast iron skillet with plenty of toast. The sauce was so rich and creamy. To keep this under an hour and a half reading let me say my bride's steak was perfect along with the brussel sprouts and kale. Let me tell you about the pork chop. I like my pork chops to be medium rare if possible and it was perfectly pink inside. I try my best to get that look and I always overcome them. The sweet potato puree asking with the brussel sprouts was outstanding. The portions were very generous and couldn't ask anything better for a Monday night meal. OK, then there was the bread pudding. Oh, Lord, when I tasted the whiskey I almost fell in the floor. So, let me say to the people who has a bad time at the restaurant that they are hitting on all cylinders. I can understand a Karen or two that have nothing better to do than be haters, especially after the opening of the restaurants after COVID. I get it. Why not try to come back and give it another chance. They deserve it and you could use a good meal to chill out.“

“The food reminded me of Sunday lunches at my grandmother's home. And the banana pudding - none of that jello stuff - made from a dessert roux. Delicious!“

“when i am in town one of my favorite places to eat, tonight was on point great food and service.“

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“The food was great but our waitress Shannon will be the reason I go back! She is wonderful- if you go ask for her, she is a delight!“

“Recently spent a few days in Atlanta. (Go Braves!) This was the BEST meal we had the entire time. Scott, you and your staff have my vote --- 5 star, A+ all the way. Marcelo, your service during our meal --- perfect. This will be a "must do" the next time we are in Atlanta. In the meanwhile, when YOU go, get the fried chicken and any of the sides. You will thank me.“

“I just want to give a thank you to Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours for your kindness and generosity toward furloughed government workers during this difficult time. Your complimentary meals were more than just food—they were a reminder that compassion and community still matter. A special shout-out to our amazing host, Corey, for the warm welcome, great conversation, and genuine hospitality. You truly made us feel seen and cared for. May God continue to bless you all—your hearts, your hands, and your business—for pouring love back into the community. #CommunityLove #TwistedSoul“

“The bbq shrimp is amazing! There wasn’t anything left on anyone’s plate! Service is always stellar!“

“Best place to go! I always enjoy coming here while I’m in town visiting family. ❤️❤️“

“It was a little noisy outside but my room was extremely clean. There’s a nice bar and a restaurant, where I had breakfast. Most importantly, it was quiet at night and the showers worked well. Extremely accessible to the highway and a better value than some similar hotels.“

“My husband and I went to this Chicken Salad Chick for Veteran's Day and we each were given a wonderful meal at no charge. The franchise owner, Tiffany, was incredibly gracious. Even when I asked to add a 3rd scoop of chicken salad (to share with grandchildren when I got home), she said I could trade it for the drink if I would like to instead of incur an upcharge. That was really thoughtful. We really enjoy Chicken Salad Chick for a change from the same old fast food options.“

“I ordered turkey wings man when I tell you meat falling off the bone good, tenderism good plus I had 2 sides kale greens with turkey in it and Mac n cheese. In a moving truck heading to Kentucky but this the spot for me when I come through. Last time I passed through I had oxtails and it was just as good“

“I love chicken salad chick. The croissant was really hard & my sandwich was a little dry. I requested for xtra mayo. Could have been packs or anything.
Fancy Nancy is what I ordered.
The potato soup was great as usual.
No one greeted me, it was late evening and I had a online pickup order.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Located in the middle of the Roswell Historic district. Lots of taverns, eateries, and little shops around. Parking is around back. Opens at 11am. I arrived right at 11 and the whole crew was hustling around ready to serve. You order at the counter and you have options for indoor or outdoor seating. I ordered the fried pickles, Reuben with potato salad, and a gate city beer (local brewery, around the corner actually). The fried pickles come with remoulade. I wasn't impressed by the sauce but the pickles?!? OMG! Definitely could taste the freshness! Perfection! The potato salad was on point too! Probably the best I've had in a long time, especially in a restaurant. The Reuben is made with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut but it was a nice refreshing addition. Not complaints at all. The beer paired well with it all. After I finished eating I knew I had to try one of their oatmeal creme pies! Wow! It's hard to stop eating it. Fresh, flavorful, sweet but not too sweet. I rarely ever eat dessert especially during lunch but I'm so glad I splurged! If you ever want a quick bite with a friendly staff, please stop by!“

“I won a gift card on the Bert show for South City kitchen and we had the absolute best restaurant experience ever, the food was amazing, our waiter was great, they treated us so good! We will definitely be back!“

“The Flying Biscuit is one of our favorite breakfast restaurants. We love the menu variety, the food is excellent and the service is constantly friendly and attentive. We especially appreciate Tameka when she has our table. She treats us like family!“

“A great restaurant that is aptly named because it really does have SOUL and is a good citizen of Alpharetta !“

“The food, drinks, and service are consistently good.“

“I ordered fried green tomatoes!! When I tell you these are the best I have ever tasted!!! I have always loved them but this is a whole new love!!!“

“Yummmmmy😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🤨😋😋😋“

“One of the best bbq places for many years! This one better not go away!“

“Timothy was kind enough to make sure we had extra corn muffins to go with my husband’s left over ribs- I had no left overs from the hand held. We have been here 3 times and it is soo yummy!“

“I called ahead to make sure the beef ribs would be making an appearance today. Did not disappoint.“

“We ordered Thanksgiving dinner from Secreto! It was over the top! So well done! Love this restaurant and highly recommend!“

“My dad and I love to grab lunch. We meet halfway between our homes and often try out new restaurants, especially when it’s our birthdays. I love a good farm-to-table restaurant and The Mill Kitchen and Bar delivers! On ALL levels. The food was great (I am a shrimp and grits connoisseur…these were on point!); Olivia was so funny and friendly to greet us when we arrived. David, our server was great. Knowledgeable about the food, kept our glasses filled and treated you like family or like a good neighbor. The patio was delightful (I usually run to the shade in this Atlanta heat) and the location is near Historic Roswell and the Mill district. Come try the Mill Kitchen and Grill for your next destination restaurant. You won’t be disappointed!“
