Well folks I found another gem for ya: Folk Art, a cool artsy cafe near ATL airport. Great vibes, with a properly accepting attitude about life and love, as well as great food. I'm a bit of a huevos rancheros aficionado and this place offers a solid version. While I prefer a more authentic salsa verse, theirs is great and the end result is a beautiful, light dish with flavor and class. Check it out, you won't regret it! read more

Nestled in the Inman Park neighborhood, this location offers nearby street parking or valet parking (pay what you want). We visited on a Saturday after a trip to the nearby Farmers Market at The Carter Center and were immediately seated. The red sangria was nice and strong. I ordered the complete breakfast with grits, eggs with cheese, sausage, and wheat toast. Unfortunately, the grits were bland, and the other items were pretty basic. The service was great, and the restaurant reminds me of a neighborhood hangout. In my opinion, it was dusty and could use a deep cleaning. Overall, I prefer the Hapeville location over this one. read more

A neighborhood staple for a reason! Love that their menu has just as many lunch options as it does breakfast/lunch. Gives a bit of something for everyone. Ask for Margaret, she's really sweet and can tell she enjoys what she does. That makes a difference! read more

This a very nice spot. Loved the decor and the music that was played throughout my meal. We started with an order of sweet potato donut holes, which I was very skeptical about actually, but they were pretty tasty, I just wasn't a big fan of the breading. We then had a bit of a wait for our food because it was very packed for the 4th, and we enjoyed some mimosas in the mean time. Those mimosas definitely had champagne and SPLASH of juice! Lol but I liked it! My husband had the steak(medium) and eggs and I the French toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and hashbrowns. The French toast was very thick again I enjoyed the breading but not so much the crust. The eggs were great nice and fluffy as well as the has browns. Our server Chris was very attentive and I definitely enjoyed my time here! I would recommend for others to try this place as well! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food. I did enjoy the Fried chicken sandwich, but the chicken was more of a cutlet than a breast (you can see how thin it is in the picture). We did get a glass of water where the cup smelled unclean. The server exchanged it, no problem. It was noon on a Thursday and it seemed they were understaffed. The server we did have was kind. read more

What an incredible experience! I was visiting from LA and wanted some authentic southern food. (I'm from Georgia) Everything we tried was exceptional. I started with the fried green tomatoes and then had grit fritters with a cup of the pork chili. Delicious, all of it. My mom loved the chicken and waffles and my son loved the burger. I had a boozy cappuccino thing that was also delightful. read more

This is such a cute neighborhood restaurant. We ordered the fried green tomatoes (they were okay). They could have been seasoned more. I ordered the BLT and breakfast potatoes (the breakfast potatoes stole the show ) the BLT was good as well. The Short Rib and grits were amazing. My goodness. It was delicious. I ordered the rum punch and it will get you were ever you trying to go . I felt amazing when I left here. My friend ordered the Mimosa flight and she felt amazing. Our server was extremely nice ( Im so upset I can't remember his name) but he was the best. They closed at like 2pm but they don't rush you out if you are there ahead of time. I highly recommend this place. It was a wonderful experience. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Casual, cool vibe in Inman Park, with garage doors and cool art. Lately I've been going for brunch after yoga and getting the short ribs and grits, which is an AMAZING gluten free meal. It has a huge hunk of delicious meat with a tasty au jus sauce, two eggs cooked to your liking, roasted carrots, and grits. It lasts me for three meals. I've been coming here for years and used to add kimchi to the lamb burger. Service is always good. These days, you can valet park or find street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. read more

Macaroni bites (no bacon) are some of the best I've ever had. They spiced it beautifully. We ordered that, fried green tomatoes, a breakfast sandwich with hash brows, and a side of the cucumber avocado salad because I felt like it was needed a non-fried vegetable. That cucumber avocado side salad was delicious. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and they drizzled this incredible spicy mustard (?) vinaigrette over it that complimented it beautifully. I wish I got more! The fried green tomatoes were phenomenal. I didn't try the breakfast sandwich, but the portion was generous. Service was not super fast, but our sever was very attentive and could answer all of our questions for us easily. Ambience is fantastic. It's like if indie music was a place. read more

What a fantastic place. I visited Folk Art with my fellow Elite, Ashley B., on a weekday afternoon and we had such a wonderful experience! This Folk Art location is nestled in a row of lovely restaurants that may go unnoticed if you don't know what you're looking for. Despite being smaller than some restaurants, there were still so many seating options available inside and on their covered terrace. There was also tons of free parking outside in an adjoining lot which can be a rarity these days. We were seated and paired up with Cam as our waiter and, wow. What a great guy! He was so patient, super nice and so open to sharing his recommendations. He seemed like he was happy to be at work and was in such a good mood, it rubbed off on me! We started with cappuccinos and the grit balls as we decided on our entrees. My coffee was so delicious, mixed with just the perfect amount of caramel. Such a great pick-me-up. The grit balls were delicious! The peach jam was such a great pairing with the fried grit balls, a great recommendation from Cam. For an entree I went for the 'Foul Play' which is their take on chicken and waffles. I'm not a huge chicken and waffles fan but I went for it. Everything was perfectly cooked but it's still not the raving success for me as it is for others lol. Before we left I grabbed a lavender lemonade and, WOW. It was SO good. The flavor actually stopped me in my tracks, it was infused so well! Overall, a fantastic first experience at Folk Art. Can't wait to visit the other locations! read more

I didn't expect the best breakfast ever just by the looks of it, but the group wanted to eat here since it was nearby. Turns out, I enjoyed my breakfast the most out of everyone. I had the sweet potato pancakes and chicken sausage which was the best option for me. I tried the fried green tomatoes, which I haven't had since I was a kid when my southern grandmother would cook them. Compared to her's, theirs was okay. The short ribs and grits, chicken and waffles, and the steak and eggs were said to not be anybody's favorite. I knew this before I asked because they all left their plates unfinished and wanted to try my plate - which they liked. read more

We stopped by because we were staying in an Airbnb across the street and my husband needed some coffee. I was very happy to see that they had cocktails. Neither of us really eats breakfast but we did try the Randy which was so good we came back to get more the next day! Who doesn't love, pancake, battered bacon? All of the staff were extremely nice on both visits. If we were in the area, we would gladly come back and try some of the other food. We actually tried to come for dinner and realized they close early. read more

I wasn't satisfied with the experience of eating here at all! read more

My better half had a doctor's appointment in downtown ATL off North Druid Hills Road. We left the appointment around 11:15 and looked for nearby restaurants that served breakfast and lunch options. I found Folk Art on Yelp and we decided to give them a try. I am so glad we tried this location as the service and food were excellent! The restaurant had street parking and we parked around the corner from Folk Art. This is a fairly compact location so I am confident that they get very busy on weekends. Upon entry we were quickly greeted by a friendly wait staff person. She told us we could sit wherever we wanted and she delivered menus to our booth. Another member of their wait staff arrived at our table and took our drink orders. My better half wanted lunch so she ordered the steak sandwich with a side of sautéed spinach. I was in the mood for breakfast so I ordered the Folk Southern Fried (a large fried chicken breast on house made fluffy biscuits with two eggs and covered in scrumptious sausage gravy). I ordered my eggs poached and it was a delicious combination of hot fried chicken breast and perfectly cooked poached eggs. My better half enjoyed the steak sandwich which includes grilled mushrooms, onions, and red peppers covered in Provolone cheese. The sandwich has a delicious horseradish sauce piped over the sandwich. The interior of this restaurant is really cool with walls covered in art and beer signs. A very relaxing atmosphere with friendly and outgoing wait staff. If you haven't been to Folk Art Restaurant, you should give them a try as soon as possible! read more

We stopped by Inman Park Folk for brunch on a Saturday. The place was busy but we got a table quick. Ordered the breakfast sandwich with pulled pork eggs and hash browns. Everything came hot and fresh. Pork was tender and smoky. Eggs were cooked perfect. Bread was toasted just right. Hash browns had good crunch. Coffee was strong. Service was friendly and fast. Portions were big enough to fill us up. Price felt fair for the quality. Loved the vibe. Will come back next time we are in the area. read more

Deserves 2.5 Stars but unable to give that. Food: we had a fish sandwich, shrimp po boy, burger, and kids nuggets. The kids nuggets were AWESOME! The other food that we ordered was awful. No flavor. Bland. The dressings we had brought to the table were great and helped it out a bit. Service: ok service. A tad confusing. The waiter seemed off that day. He forgot a lot of our order specifics. We were not charged. Ambiance: super cute inside. The art on the walls is cool. read more

Walked out because we were ignored by staff for thirty minutes - THIRTY MINUTES! - despite the restaurant being only half full. Our party was treated like we were invisible. read more

This is of my favorite spots in Atlanta for breakfast/brunch. There is a good sized parking lot to the left of the buildings. Complimentary (for tips) valet on the weekends. The space isn't that big inside, but they use it very well. It is always clean and the service is excellent. I always appreciate the kindness and efficiency of the staff. I enjoy their brewed coffee and juice selection. Today I opted for the Complete Breakfast which included 3 eggs, a protein, grits or hash browns, and toast. You can get Delia's chicken sausage for a $2 up charge. Yum! I've visited many times and have never been disappointed. read more

Came for a work lunch and was seated promptly. We all ordered different things, but for the table we ordered the fried Mac and cheese and yes please! Super good! A hint of sweetness in it with the caramelized mushrooms. A great starter for the group. I ordered the lobster roll which I had my mind set on but I was given a lengthy preface before getting it. I guess some people aren't too much of a fan of it? It's served cold, not warm which I wasn't too picky about. I mean, $20 for two lobster rolls is a great deal considering beetlecat just up the road charges $40 for one. I'm glad I got it because it was good! Wasn't too heavy and almost light if you don't pair it with french fries like I did. Great restaurant and looking forward to coming back! read more

We had a great brunch here on a busy Sunday morning. We were able to get a table in under ten minuets with ample room for our stroller. The highlights were the bloody mary's, deep fried bacon, and the biscuits. Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcome and not rushed at all. read more

Food: Really Good Food I ordered the veggie omelet with premium veggies, with hash brown and wheat toast, all very tasty, my guy ordered maple french toast and egg Benedict with salmon. He was not a fan of his food. He said that the egg Benedict was tasteless to the point that we had to add hot sauce. Service: Terrible This was our first visit to this location and we were very disappoint with the service received. It seems like this place has regulars and they were treated as elites. We had two group of people that came in after us, yes, we were seated before them however they were greeted well, given menus and beverages while we waited, then she was on to the second group that came in after us. After coming over to take our order and bringing our drinks out she never returned to our table until she was bringing out the tab, someone else brought out the food and the rest of the visit we were waiving other people down for coffee refills and hot sauce requests. My guy had to go asked for syrup and also swap out hot sauce, at this point he asked me for a tip because he felt like he worked there.-lol Ambiance: The place is adorable, all of the old signs gives the place so much character, the music was really good, it was so much fun watching the kid seated next to us sing most of the R & B songs playing. Had the service been better this place could have easily been placed into our weekend rotation. Will we be back??? Probably not. read more

One word. Underwhelming. I ordered coffee, it had grounds in it. I had to ask for another cup. The Fried Grits were decent, it paired pretty well with the jalapeño peach jam. But nothing above average. The biscuit and gravy were a let down unfortunately. Definitely not my favorite. read more

Got here on a Sunday about 12:00 and only waited 5 minutes for a table. My friend and I ordered a Bloody Mary which came with a seasoned rim. It was so good!

Hadn't been in years but met a colleague for a business lunch. I'd forgotten how much they have on the menu, even though a bit pricey if it's coming out of your own wallet! Still, I went basic, ordering the burger. It and the fries were very good, though will say I'm glad I ordered it well done because it still came a bit pink. I ate anyway & all was fine but be sure to consider that if you're sensitive to needing hamburger fully cooked. Service was friendly & adequate and the place has quaint decor befitting its name. I hope to go again soon to try some of the other items. read more

This was one of the most delicious lobster Benedict I've ever had- perfectly cooked on top of crispy English muffin. The braised beef short rib was also delicious, and I'll have to order a serving of those cheese grits for myself next time I'm here. The kids had waffles with the chocolate s'mores topping and cleaned their plates. Service was great, it was busy so a bit slow but everyone was really nice. Very artsy ambience, loved everything about it! read more

Staff was kind, food was tasty, but it took an hour for our food to be delivered. We sat there for 40 minutes before our waiter acknowledged the wait time. It would have been a nice gesture to have had some of our bill comped or even a free app given the extra long wait. But other than that, it was a nice spot. read more

I love Folk Art! The restaurant has a funky California vibe with great food, music and the best tomato soup that I've ever had.

This was very underwhelming. We showed up 15 minutes after they opened on a Monday so service was good we were the only people in there. It's a cute place, I like the art inside. There was nothing about it that was bad, but disappointed I spent $50 on a breakfast here. The sweet potato pancakes are good, eggs are fine, grits are subpar, and bacon is a little bit slimy. My boyfriend got chicken with eggs, biscuits and gravy. I actually have no idea what he thought of it, which further proves my point that it wasn't good it wasn't bad. My stomach did hurt pretty bad almost immediately. read more

Being in the ATL for the weekend, friends took me here saying it was their favorite brunch spot. The place is nestled in a historic part of town with parking that could be a tad difficult as it appeared to be street only. It's a bit cozy, but it definitely has a nice prideful Georgia theme going on in the interior. I started off with the sweet potato beignets before ordering the fowl play and washing it all down with a special cocktail. I forget if it was strawberry or watermelon. The sweet potato beignets were a wonderful start to the meal. I'm not a fan of regular beignets because they're just crispy pieces of air drenched in powdered sugar. These had way more substance to them, and I'd recommend sharing them if you ordered a real entree. Speaking of entrees, I had the foil play. It's chicken and waffles, complete with syrup and an amazing peach compote. The compote gave the sweet and savory fried food a slight kick and it all tasted great as an experience. I wouldn't say the chicken and waffle were all that great though, which is a little disappointing for a southern spot. The cocktail I had was very refreshing and definitely a highlight. Service was also solid. If you're looking for a solid brunch place, Folk Art is it, but it takes considerable effort to get here if you're in the city. read more

Folk Art is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in the Atlanta area! It's typically very busy on the weekends, but they manage the waiting list effectively, ensuring everyone is seated promptly. What I adore about this particular location in the Inman Park is its decor and ambiance. Every time I bring someone here, we have a fantastic experience. The establishment exudes such a warm and inviting atmosphere, which likely contributes to why it stays busy. The menu offers a ton of food options that can leave you feeling indecisive, especially as you watch all the tasty dishes pass by. However, during my last visit, I opted for the "Complete Breakfast." This meal came with cheese eggs, bacon, hash browns , grits, chicken sausage and toast and let me tell, everything I ordered was delicious. This restaurant fills your plate up to the brim so you will be satisfied and full when you leave. My nephew chose the Shrimp Po Boy, and he raved about it! I sampled one of his shrimp and was impressed by the crispy batter, the freshness of the shrimp, and its delightful seasoning. Additionally, the generous serving of shrimp on the sandwich ensures that each bite is a flavorful experience. The Po Boy comes with any side of your choosing but nothing beats ordering some fries to compliment the dish. If you're in Inman Park, I highly recommend you stop by and give this place a try for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Either way, you won't be disappointed! Highlights: Valet Parking No online reservations read more

We just went to a restaurant in Hapeville part of Atlanta and it actually was such a good experience!!! The service was very attentive, profesional but personal! I'm such a big fan of clean but fun restaurants! The Lord definitely gave us the gift of restaurants so we could understand what service means!! The ambiance was beautiful! It was such a fun restaurant and gave a cool vibe. Food was plated well and on good plates for proportions and types of food. Very deep and flavorful profiles of each food I tried! For the fact we had a party of 30 peeps they gave us all our food within an hour!!! LOVED THIS RESTAURANT def 9.5/10 for sure!! I had the Cobb salad with rosemary vinaigrette!!! So good! But the chicken and waffles, breakfast burger, and fried flounder sandwich were all good!! read more

I've been craving the fried chicken sandwich since I last came here to eat. And it was just as delicious as the first time. Definitely hit the spot and a MUST try. The mac and cheese was an added bonus. It was so good. One thing that I didn't notice last time was the amazing art by R Land for sale on the wall. He's a local artist- bought one of his prints while I was eating. Dont pass this place up. The food is so good read more

I came here with my parents for brunch. The ambiance of the restaurant is really unique and artsy. I ordered the hot chocolate which wasn't very good and tasted watery and the quesadilla with a side of cheese grits. The quesadilla was pretty good and the cheese grits were also really good. My dad ordered blood Mary which was pretty strong and a grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup which he said was also good. My mom ordered the sweet potato beignets which did not taste at all like beignets but more like donut holes but none the less they tasted good. Our server was very nice but not the most attentive we did have to ask her for things multiple times before we got something but overall she was okay. read more

Such a cute spot, with plenty of parking in the rear. It's well decorated, clean and has plenty of seating for a "smaller" establishment. We were greeted right away, brought water right away, without having to ask for it, which was so nice since it's 90 degrees outside. The food was served so quickly, and it's all so fresh, well plated with generous portions. Lobster rolls were to die for. Great flavors. Definitely recommend. read more

I decided to check this place out on a whim. The food looked good on their website and Instagram. Honestly I wasn't a fan of the food. I started with the grit fritters which were okay, I think the jam is what made me not like it. I next got the turkey sausage, tomato and spinach Benedict. I liked it but would probably would've been better without the spinach. I also decided to try the Mac and cheese which was different. I can't put my finger on it but it was okay. I also got the sausage gravy which paired well with the grit fritters. I ordered a cocktail but forgot the name - it had ginger in it which added a spiciness to it. If you like ginger then you'd like it. I ended up getting a margarita but it wasn't sweet so I didn't enjoy it. It did take a while for me to be served initially but once my waiter took my order, everything came out swiftly. The restaurant itself is a nice vibe. The food just didn't meet my expectations. There are a lot of good reviews on the restaurant so you may need to try it for yourself. read more

Overall this was really great experience. I was looking for a place to eat and randomly stumbled upon Folk Art Restaurant. I went on a Sunday around 2 o'clock, so expect her to be somewhat of a brunch rush. Even though they were pretty busy, I was able to be seated pretty fast and my server was really responsive. I had the beef short ribs and grits and all I will say is the gravy on it was amazing and the meat was tender. The baby carrots were a nice touch as well. Very nice artwork and decor as well which is always a plus. On top of that they offer free valet parking with tips encouraged on the weekend which is rare for Atlanta. Definitely look forward to going back to try some other things on the menu. read more
