“Stick with the old sweet potato souflee. Baked chicken pieces were to small this week. Need large piexces of chicken.“

“Cris and Larry are very personable and the food was excellent. They arrived well ahead of the scheduled time for our Vacation Bible School. Our theme was “Food Truck Party”. They added the special touch we needed to finalize the week. What a blessing and a privilege to work with them.“

“Came to ATL from out of town craving some good soul food, this place DELIVERED. I am planning to travel back to ATL just to eat here again. Well done Southern Queenz ??“

“Great food and good service. Great new local place on Holcomb“

“Tried this restaurant on a lark. Outstanding! We had the lamb chops green beans and broccoli. Excellent. And the red velvet cake topped off a great meal. It is definitely on my "new favorites " list and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great meal.“

“Dorothy Mae's is top tier ! I am from NC, so I KNOW good soul food. When I tell you they know what they are doing back in that kitchen, THEY DO ‼️ The customer service was amazing as well. The staff brought a container of fresh outta the grease catfish for us to sample as we waited for our food. It was delicious ! We ordered some of everything on the menu and it was all amazing, cooked to order, and so flavorful. I brought a piece of sweet potato pie back to the hotel for dessert and can't wait to try it. On their web page, it appears they are moving from Boxete to their own spot in Tucker, GA in a few weeks. This gem is terrific and they offer a catering menu as well. The prices are great, too.“

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

“LISTEN TO ME!!! The people did not like lie, this food is sooo good!! I read the reviews and decided to go see myself. I ordered the catfish, collard greens, Mac and cheese and sweet yams. My stomach is so thankful!! My intentions were to take the food home to eat but once I took a look in the plate I decide to just take a lil taste...oh baby baby, wrong move! My behind sat my purse down and went to town on this plate and I am not one to usually sit and eat in order to go places. If you got an itch for some real soul food, you won't be disappointed at all!!! Blessings to this establishment I pray you all continued success..by the way they don't use any pork in the collard green.Go check them out y'all!!“

“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. ❤️✨“

“Beware..employee made unauthorized charges on my credit card.“

“Nah. This might be the BEST Soul Food I had in ATL. The Mac and Cheese was what it was supposed to be! Amaze! And the Collards, I don’t know what they put in it but baby! When I tell you I always add hot sauce to my greens no matter what and almost went back in to ask for some… then I tasted it and it was so full of flavor (not spice) that I didn’t even need the hot or want to mess up what it was already givin’!

I only had three sides but I’m coming back to try a full on meal! Inshallah

🔥“

“I tried this place for lunch and I am glad I made the trip. Their service was friendly and answered my questions about possible options to get. I went with the jerk ribs rice & peas cabbage and a side of plantains. The only thing that was left were the bones. Sure enough some of that sauce was on my shirt. If you pick up the ribs with your hands just be ready to catch them with your plate. They fall off the bone type of ribs. There was some bbq sauce but blended well with the season. The cabbage was seasoned and tasted freshly cooked. Let's talk about the plantains. Perfectly cut and cooked. I can't even get that can of plantain quality in a Spanish restaurant. Best I have had. They do have a lunch special and plenty of side options. My only regret is not trying their juice. Next time I am trying the jerk chicken and stew.“

“So I ordered the lasagna, the taste was very good but I must say the portion was very disappointing. It came in a little square container that you would put a side dish in. I’ve never ordered a lasagna that was that tiny so yea consider offering at least two slices and surround those slices with marinara to make an appropriate serving size. The lemon cake was pretty good it was moist and the lemon flavor was not overpowering.“

“great flavorful food with great portions the Jamaican me crazy was my first meal tonight and I'm going back for more I'm big on texture and everything was great thank you for helping me transition to healthier eating“

“Yu Kitchen is AMAZING!!! So is the sausage/burger place that I forgot the name of... it's in the space where they also have Caribbean/Pho“

“The food was excellent the staff was professional an overall great experience that everyone should try“

“First time here food was Amazing!! Like sitting at home eating my Mother’s Sunday dinner! I will be back when I’m in ATL….“

“They put the ‘Del’ in Del-licious! 😋😋😋“

“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.“

“I hardly know where to begin with this review because this visit for a quick lunch became a whole experience. The customer service is exceptional and on point from the time you enter the building. The building itself is designed to let you really enjoy your food with multiple TVs and a massive projector screen. While my daughter and I waited for our food we were straight catered to. You can select your own show or movie or watch YouTube at a smaller bar or relax in reclining chairs. There are multiple sections to sit in so you can really enjoy the company you bring in your own private section. The food was hot, the wings were crispy, and even the ranch is the good one. I got the BLT and my daughter got garlic Parmesan wings. The fries are actually cooked well until golden and seasoned like they should be. Everything was delicious and the comfort is unmatched. You won't find better food or better service at better prices. Definitely check it out.“

“every single dish I chose (smothered pork chops, collards, mac and cheese, cabbage, pecan pie) was spot on. reminded me of my childhood.“

“I am so glad I found this gem!! I just moved to Atlanta from Boston (where there’s Haitian food everywhere) so I was little bummed out that there aren’t really Haitian spots out here. But my girlfriend found this place on IG and sent it my way. I ordered online and got the griot plate which comes with the diri kole (rice and beans) and the banan peze (fried plantains) with a side of salad and pikliz. Also ordered a side of the j*** chicken pasta which came with some delicious bread, my order also came with a lemonade and it was one of the best lemonade I ever had. EVERYTHING was delicious the griot was cooked very well still nice and tender people tend to overcook griot but this here was perfect! Portion is great! It’s a 10/10 for me and will not mind making that 30+ minute drive in Atlanta traffic to get it.My only suggestion would be to give the sauce on the side as opposed to putting it on the rice and having Dressing for the salad.Thank you Ted for a great meal, you definitely have a frequent customer now.“

“Tolex African grill is quite cute in terms of good service delivery vis a viz customer care, healthy meals, decent environment and blessed with very proactive members of staff and chefs. A visit to TOLEX AFRICAN GRILL will definitely convince you more.“

“We catered my sister’s wedding day brunch for 2 locations - bachelorette group and bachelor group. DN tailored the menu for both groups and delivered to both locations. The food paring was great and catfish/grits were delicious! Definitely a keeper for future events!!!“

“Wanted to update since my last review. I was at Wyatt's on Friday. Got rib tips and a half slab. Man oh man they were on point. This place is amazing. Thank you for staying in the community. Keep cooking.“

“I have only eaten breakfast here, but it is always good and inexpensive. This more of a grab your food to go spot. Get the breakfast potatoes and the fried green tomatoes. The country steak is extra crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.“

“Good taste, probably the best vegan version of soul food“

“after my million question I definitely enjoyed the jerk, spicy how I like! beef patty not so.“

“The empanadas are very good and the default sauce is pretty good. They used to be overpriced, but prices have adjusted down some which is good to see. Combos do not come with drinks. We only got two sauces with 3 3 piece empanada trios which I'm assuming was just overlooked, but I do know they want to charge if you ask for extra sauces. The chicken itself is expensive for what it is and I probably won't give it a chance. I just can't justify paying the price to try it when good chicken is available all over the place nearby. Service was slow we waited outside for at least 20 minutes for our food.“

“I am so glad my job, @T-Mobile hired this awesome catering business. The food was delightful! Full of flavor and truly enjoyable. Thank you ladies for serving excellent food with a smile. We loved everything you served :) I had the garlic roasted chicken ( falls off the bone) pasta salad, Mac & Cheese, Veggie medley and a delicious lemon pound cake for dessert! Can't wait to taste your other foods. Thanks again :)“

“very nice people there and a clean place to eat and the food is very very good,I love Mina's.“

“Been going here for years now! Even though the owner hve change but the food is the same and I mean great!! No complaints at all here. For less than $10.00 you will be full and be able to take some home. Try this spot, they hve some great food there, I wouldn't lie to you.“

“Omg the best wings in town you not gone find any wings like there’s in town trust. I had the charbroiled Cajun wings and banana pudding taste amazing. Recommending everyone to this spot.“

“THIS MY FIRST TIME ORDERING FROM HERE ND I GOTTA SAID ONE THING THIS WAS SO DELICIOUS FOOD WAS HOT WHEN IT ARRIVES I ORDER THRU DOOR DASH I LOVE ME SOME SOUL FOOD AND I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IT'S WORTH YOUR MONEY TRUST ME ❤️“

“I visited this cozy little restaurant and really enjoyed the warm atmosphere. The assorted pepper soup and beans with fried plantain were both delicious and well-prepared. However, the service was a bit clumsy, as only one person was serving all the customers, which made things a bit slow and disorganized. The owner came out to assist at some point, and she was very pleasant and welcoming. That said, they definitely need more hands on deck to improve efficiency and service flow. With better staffing, this place could really shine.“

“Get over there and get you some delicious food. I had a catfish plate with greens, Mac n cheese, cabbage & dressing and babyyyy it was amazing!!!!!!!!“

“Owner was very nice and personable. The food was GOOD AS HELL. First time I stopped in I had wings, broccoli and mashed potatoes and it was delicious. Food was seasoned very well, I ordered again 2 days later and discovered a hookah bar next to it owned by the same owner. I had to stop in and support.“

“Food and price where great...love be the bake beans“

“I come to this place to eat a lot because my boyfriend it’s from Guatemala and I give a 5 star to this place when I come to this restaurant I always get the tamales and taco I drink the mango juice the food its delicious and the restaurant it’s very pretty and clean if nobody want taco or tamales I recommend to come here“

“I'm going to give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the place does have good food BUT the service of some employees is not good. Giving this place a 4 star out of 5 because although it has great food the customer service needs to better.“

“1st time here and the atmosphere was kinda scary looking, wouldn’t want to be alone at night But the food didn’t disappoint, everything was delicious, nice size portions, No waiting, and the guy behind the counter was very welcoming .. I really appreciate Good food and good service these days. Thanks 😊“
