My mothers and I visited Platez last night for a nice dinner out before a show. We didn't have a…read morereservation, but was seated immediately. There was some confusion on where to enter the building due to lack of signage, but we figured it out. Upon entering, I immediately was overwhelmed by how loud the music was. I have sensory issues and asked if we could be seated outside, but was told that there was a party outside. We were seated inside and no one in my group could hear each other speak the whole time we ate due to how loud the music was. We couldn't hear the server either. Our server immediately gave us menus, silverware, and waters. He didn't introduce himself or really say much of anything. We were left to look at the menus for 5-10 minutes. Upon looking at the menus, we were extremely disappointed to see that much of what we came for was not available due to it being a brunch item. This was not communicated ANYWHERE on the website and we would not have chosen to dine here had we known. We chose to stay and eat due to already paying $10 for parking across the street. Once we came to terms with the fact that we would not be eating french toast or waffles, we began looking at the menu to decide what to order. It was then that I noticed how expensive everything was. The food is even more expensive than the menu on the website, and the item that I decided upon - the catfish and grits - was $30. This is unreasonably expensive for what it was and I would have priced it at about $18 to be generous. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes for our food and eventually my catfish and grits and my mother's shrimp and grits were served. The sauce around the grits was cold, and the grits themselves weren't super hot. It was obvious that they had been sitting while the fish and shrimp was being cooked. The portion itself was too much to eat in one sitting and grits are not something that would reheat well so we left them instead of trying to take them home. When our grits were served, the waiter told us my step-mother's smothered pork chop would be right out. It did not come for another 10 minutes. One of her sides was a salad, but not even that was brought out. While my mother and I's grits were phenomenal in flavor, my step-mother's pork chop was barely edible. She said that it was tough, especially when she was not provided anything more than a butter knife to cut with, and the gravy on top was so salty that I gagged upon tasting it. It tasted like gravy mix from a packet that was combined with the drippings from a meat that had already been seasoned. My step-mother prefers things to be more salty, but even she had to peel the breading off to be able to eat the pork chop. Keep in mind, this was also about $30. Our service was poor. The waiter didn't introduce himself, as I said, and he did not ask if we wanted anything more than water to drink. He was barely able to be heard over the loud music, but he also didn't say much. He did not check up on us during our meal or say anything while we waited 40+ minutes for our food. And when we went up to the cash register to pay our bill, we were left standing there for about 5 minutes while various servers and workers walked by and went behind the register without even acknowledging our presence. This was very off-putting and a terrible way to end a lackluster dinning experience. Upon paying our bill, we were forced to pay a mandatory 15% tip and a 7% service fee. And then they had the audacity to ask for an additional tip despite their poor service. We all left Platez feeling very disappointed, despite how delicious my mother and I's grits were. We all had the sentiment that we would have had a better time eating at Waffle House because we went for brunch food in the first place. Platez is (in my opinion) horribly overpriced and the service was terrible. I try to be positive, but I would never come here again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I visited Platez Southern Kitchen with a large party for brunch. Even though we booked our…read morereservation weeks in advance, the restaurant wasn't prepared. It took well over an hour and a half after ordering for our food to arrive. I ordered the chicken & waffles, cornbread bites, and a strawberry peach margarita. The cornbread bites with honey drizzle were a nice start, and the margarita was balanced and refreshing. Unfortunately, the chicken--though cooked properly--wasn't seasoned, and the waffle was overcooked. On top of that, the service left much to be desired. I had to ask multiple times for condiments and waited over 20 minutes just to receive them. Customer service is very important to me, and this really hurt the experience. What made it worse was the bill. A large party tip, an extra "service fee," and then a regular tip option added up to an outrageous total -- especially considering the lack of preparation, slow service, and disappointing food. Overall, while the drinks were good, the combination of unseasoned food, long waits, and excessive charges makes it hard for me to recommend this place or want to return.

The prices alone should've made me walk out the door…read more Everybody and they mama makes wings in Atlanta and no one charges almost $10 for just the wings! Combos start at $10! I came here because Wings 101 was closing and I wasn't going to make it. Saw this place and decided to stop by. None of the main entrees come with fries and a drink, but cost that of a meal. There's an older lady that works the counter and she really needs to let the younger lady do it. Although the staff had mask, they didn't require other ppl to have them, nor did ppl social distance. The onion rings and shrimp I got were okay. The wings were NOT! I ordered Garlic Parmesan and I got some super hard fried wings, with a couple of shakes of Parmesan on it. Not a taste of Garlic in sight! I ate about four, or picked at, before I just threw it in the trash! Skip this place!

We placed our order and it didn't take too long thankfully but being honest, there was nothing overly special about it. Standard sweet and sour chicken and ok rice, ok butterfly shrimp. Not horrible nut not great. I don't hate the place, but I would not go out of my way to come here. Prices are ok but they do offer other options as well such as wings and burgers.

We also ordered the buttermilk pancakes, fried chicken wings, and the lobster and shrimp omelette that were also really delicious! Since I like to try multiple things, I really appreciated the fact that their menu allowed à la carte options so I was able to get a side of shrimp and grits instead of a full sized entree. The chef came out multiple times to ensure customers were satisfied with the meals so the service was excellent. The only call out to note is that it's an outdoor restaurant so in the middle of the summer it can be hot. However, it was a covered patio and enough fans to keep the air circulating so it didn't bother us much. This won't be our last visit to say the least.

Open Wednesday - Sunday. We welcomed the calm, family-friendly vibe and free parking. Even with the rain, we were dry and toasty. Other than breathing fresh air, you wouldn't know you're outside. Seat yourself and scan a QR code with your phone to order and prepay. Being old school I think you get better tips by greeting the table and giving recommendations. But there was only one server, she was friendly and hustling. I love the grown up music - neo soul and pop (Selena, Ed Sheeran), with enough volume to hear each other, clean restrooms and comfy seating. Food came out quick, hot and fresh. The amiable owner greeted us after to inquire about our meals. We had a party of 7 (4 adults, 2 teens, 1 kid). I loved my pancake breakfast! The filling, not too sweet hot cakes were promptly drenched in warmed Mrs. Butterworths. Applewood smoked bacon? Blissful. Scrambled eggs with cheese? Dreamy. I devoured it all and left full and content. My Dad said the Blueberry Pancakes were the best breakfast he ever had!

On a scale of 1-5, Mr. Cream Cheese French Toast and Grits Bowl ranked it 10! "Grits were magical, better than Milk and Honey."

This quaint, low-key family owned business with amazing food gets our vote every time.

SERVICE Service was fast and friendly for a Friday evening…read morerush...seating is up to your choosing -- indoor or outdoor. The staff was efficient despite having been swept up understaffed with a late night 20+ party. They got the order in quickly, and food came out faster than expected. No issues with accuracy! Our waters were refilled quickly despite the rush and everything arrived together and hot. Great for a quick, casual stop when you don't want to wait long. FOOD We stopped in for a quick Friday dinner and ordered the burger, brisket dip with waffle fries, and a tendies basket. The burger was juicy and cooked to order (medium rare as asked!) with a nice toasted bun. The brisket dip was tender and flavorful, and the sweet waffle fries came out hot and crispy too. The tendies basket was solid: well-seasoned, not greasy, and a good portion for sharing. Overall, the hits were the brisket dip and waffle fries; the burger and tendies were reliable. Craving a greasy comfort food spot for the day, and this was pretty darn solid for the price and friendly fast service! AMBIANCE The vibe is relaxed and neighborhood-friendly with an outdoor area with standing room and the TV. The music can be a bit loud for overall taste, but hey it's a lively spot for a Friday night....a buzz is definitely obvious and great for drinks or low-key hangout...and the space feels busy without being chaotic. If you're looking for a quick, comfortable place to grab a bite (have a solid no frills burger) and unwind, it fits the bill!

This was perfect timing, we were able to park directly in front of the restaurant for free. Upon entering, there is a security guard doing full body searches and checking all bags. I've never encountered this at a restaurant. I felt a mix of worry about previous incidents but also safe knowing no one inside has a weapon. There was no wait at this time so we were seated immediately. Now to the food, everything was surprisingly good. We had lamb chops, chicken and waffles, frosted french toast, and peach cobbler french toast. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It was a bit pricey but that was to be expected. Our server was good and I enjoyed the playlist. I would return.
