Zeke's Kitchen & Bar

The short review is: The food is amazing. Don’t think twice, just go visit, and be glad you did.

Now for a longer review:
3+ years ago on a long family road trip, fate and a search for good food brought us to Zeke’s as we passed through the Atlanta area. The food was amazing then, and it’s amazing now.

Fast forward to the week of Thanksgiving 2025, where Gus (restaurant manager) and his crew treated us to another feast when we returned to Atlanta area for a visit!

We were attended to by several people, all of whom greeted us with a smile. We had the plantain nachos twice, Djon Dijon rice with jerk chicken, the shrimp salad, and sweet plantains. Any one of these dishes are enough to merit a return visit on its own.

The music mix and vibe reminded me of being back in NYC. My wife was so taken with the music that Gus took time to share the entire playlist with her.

Zeke’s staff goes above in beyond, in both their cooking and hospitality. 

I live 8 hours away, but I’m already thinking about our next trip to Atlanta so we can take in more of this amazing city. Our first stop will be Zeke’s.

Thank you to Gus and everyone at Zeke’s!

I have been calling for 2 days trying to place a order over the phone. They are deliberately taking the phone off of the hook so the phone don't ring. I called today and someone picked up the phone then put it down. So all you could hear is the noise in the background, loud music, and them bagging orders. I could hear the employees saying they are tired of answering the phone and taking orders. They need to be put out of business doing this and of they don't want new customers then they should shut down the restaurant ASAP!

This unique Haitian spot was worth discovering for my bff bday dinner!

I loved the vibe of the decor, music and people. Our server Page was amazing and had great food recommendations. I haven’t ate so good in a long time and it’s only January! 2025 kicking off right! Every bite of food had such a great taste that I couldn’t stop eating. Drinks were also on point. I can’t wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow! I will for sure to be back!

Best restaurant in the area. Everything is delicious, service is flawless, and Saint always has a smile and a kind word for everyone. Recommend the salmon, Rasta pasta, and the blackened sandwiches. All the servers have been great and Shayna today was so attentive and welcoming.

This was my 3rd time coming to Zeke's and once again the food and service was incredible! Kevin went above and beyond to provide an extremely high level of service while explaining the menu to my 3 other guests for their first time visit. This is my new go to spot for Haitian food!

An absolute gem in the area....my short list of best restaurants in Smyrna now includes Zeke's. The food was superb, some of the best I've had in awhile. Poached salmon dip had heaps of dip on each toast point- the tacos had just the right amount of spice- and the Rasta pasta- some of the most flavorful chicken chunks I've had and rivals the chicken flavor at Cotton Calf in Braselton. The yucca fries could have used a little bit more salt, but that's what table salt is for. Only live a couple of miles away, and this will now be a regular restaurant spot for me.

During our recent holiday visit to Gulfshore, we had the pleasure of dining at Zeke's Restaurant, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Although we encountered a minor hiccup due to an early closing and some miscommunication regarding our reservation, the staff at Zeke's truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.

We were graciously offered a gift card to return the next day, which exemplified their commitment to customer satisfaction. Our server, Greg, was nothing short of phenomenal—his attentiveness and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home, even as visitors from out of state.

The warm hospitality we received from the entire team at Zeke's, combined with delicious food and an inviting atmosphere, created a memorable dining experience that we will cherish forever. If you find yourself in Gulfshore, don't miss the chance to dine here—you won't regret it!
