“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“The food is soooo good! You can cook for me anytime. I’m yet to be disappointed with eating your cooking for the last 10 years. I’ve tried many others, but nothing compares to your HOME COOKING! GOD has truly BLESSED YOU with an AWESOME gift because everybody can’t cook!“

“They were recommended to me by my Dad. My food tastes great I got the lunch special. It’s from 11AM-2PM. You get protein, rice or mash with one side and a medium drink. Can’t beat that. Thanks again ladies for your hospitality 💕💕💕 will be back😊“

“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.“

“We had a great experience here. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the restaurant offers delicious food at prices that are very reasonable. The mac and cheese was easily one of the best items we tried—creamy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Everything we ordered was fresh and satisfying. If you're looking for good home-style cooking without overspending, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'd happily recommend it to others.“

“I gave Big Back's Cajun Kitchen 5 stars because of the outstanding service provided by the young man who waited on us. He treated every customer as if they were the only person in the restaurant, giving everyone genuine attention, professionalism, and excellent hospitality. He truly made the experience memorable.

The food was excellent! The fried ribs are my favorite, and the red velvet cake was incredibly moist and delicious. I don't get to visit often because I live a good distance away, but this is always my go-to spot whenever I'm headed to the airport.

My only disappointment was that the level of service from the other employees didn't match the standard he set. His work ethic and customer service were exceptional, and I hope the rest of the team follows his example because he represents the restaurant very well.
Big Back's Cajun Kitchen is always worth the stop! The fried ribs are hands down my favorite—they're seasoned perfectly and full of flavor. And don't leave without trying the red velvet cake... it's incredibly moist and one of the best I've had.

I don't get to visit as often as I'd like because I live a good distance away, but every time I'm headed to the airport, this is my go-to spot. Great food, great flavor, and always a satisfying meal. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“it's always on point for me👍🏿👍🏿“

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

“Great place, good vibes and drinks!“

“I had the jerk chicken and vegetable rice food was good but the price is too much“

“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.“
