The green beans were cooked like my great grandmother used to cook them seasoned with meat and wonderfully tender - fried okra was good also - I had questions and the chef herself came to the table and explained things - my companion got the African Palm butter - chicken, goat, crab, crayfish served with rice - it was a little spicy but he said it was much more flavorful than spicy - we didn't get a picture We also had a jerk chicken plantain boat appetizer that was full of flavor and a nice size to share! Ebony was our server - prompt, polite and friendly- we wanted for nothing! A lovely young lady! Black linens and sparkling glassware - a beautiful place to dine! If you're in the area, check it out! We will be back!

I decided to try this restaurant. I got the pork chops smothered and I thought the gravy was going…read moreto be thick like I saw pictured on someone else's review. I don't like watery gravy. The fish tasted too fresh and I couldn't eat it. The macaroni and cheese tasted like velveeta shells & cheese & the black eyed peas were too salty. The mixed green salad was supposed to be a caesar salad.Needless to say I didn't like anything I ordered and this wasn't cheap. I've heard great things about this restaurant but that wasn't my experience. I may give them another try in the future. The customer service was good.

So I ordered from here through Uber eats. After you order from Uber eats they always ask you how…read moreyour food was they ask you to rate the food. I've stopped rating on uber eats because the food from so many places is just standard it's normal it's nothing special it's not even worth taking the time to write about it!!! But then I found this place. I was in a mood for some spicy wasn't feeling well and needed some spices to get my Blood flowing lol I wanted some real jerk chicken not some punk jerk chicken there's so many restaurants that serve mediocre jerk chicken because they have to bring down the seasonings to appease people who can't handle the spices and the heat. Oh no not this place!!! This jerk chicken was spicy very spicy but it was very good it was very flavorful. It had a good taste like it had been grilled or smoked not just cooked in the oven. I got the small side and that was about three pieces of chicken it was more than enough. It came with a standard side of peas and rice and cabbage. I opted for no cabbage and more rice. I love love plantains but they have to be right these were the most beautiful plantains I've seen in years. They were sweet juicy and ripe. The other side I got was mac & cheese. When I order macaroni and cheese from restaurants I don't expect it to be good not to pat myself on the back but most people don't make macaroni and cheese the way I do I make it very cheesy and it probably cost them too much money to make it the way I want it so I wasn't expecting a lot from this macaroni and cheese. But I was pleasantly surprised and it didn't have a lot of cheese in it but it had flavor and this was the first time I've had spicy macaroni and cheese I guess this is this restaurant's signature way they make their macaroni and cheese , which I can appreciate. they didn't just throw something together they made it the way they want it to make it. I will definitely be ordering from this place again.

Went here for lunch on our way out of Atlanta. Seems it was a hidden hot spot.

They treated us like family and it felt more like a restaurant or eating at a friends home more then eating out. We were offered more food since they ran out of oxtail, which's was AMAZING mind you. Definitely going back early when I can to get some for myself. I got the salmon and it was really good. We also got brown stew chicken and another chicken dish. They have mostly high too seating and one booth.

However Minas kitchen is a close second. They offer smoked turkey as a meat option for those who don't eat pork or beef. The flavors are amazing and the food is always fresh.

A Must‑Try Atlanta Gem…read more Our sister/cousin monthly meet‑up brought us to Kingston Grill ATL, and we're so glad it did. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, friendly, and professional, and the restaurant itself was spotless and inviting. We ordered a spread that truly showed off the kitchen's talent: Braised Oxtails & Beans, Jamaican Pepper Shrimp, Jerk Chicken Spring Rolls, Divine Brown Stew Chicken, Whole Red Snapper Escovitch, the Yardman Vegan Plate with curry shrimp, and Honey Glazed Salmon. Every entrée came with cabbage, plantain, plain rice or rice and peas, and every single dish was seasoned beautifully, cooked perfectly, and absolutely delicious. The food was so good we asked to speak directly to the chefs. Chef Ryan was incredibly humble and didn't want a big fuss, but we insisted, the meal deserved recognition. The drinks were great, the service was excellent, and the entire experience left us already planning our return. Do yourself a favor and try Kingston Grill ATL. We're officially adding this wonderful spot back into our rotation.
