    Huevos Rancheras with cheese grits and Short Rib Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns.
    Rachel J.

    We went on a weekday morning, early, so there was absolutely no wait. Our waiter was quick and attentive, and our food came out quickly. The quality of the food was impressive and fresh. The grits had bit of fresh corn, which I loved, and all of the food was fresh and well-made. We were walking, but I did not see a ton of close parking. However, the resturaunt is funky and comfortable inside.

    I really loved this little place in Decatur. It felt like walking into a local diner that was family owned, but more upscale. Our waiter was really nice and made some great recommendations. I ended up getting their pork chop sandwich which I wouldn't have ever gotten without their recommendation and it was fantastic. My guest also loved her lunch but I was too busy elbows deep in mine to remember what she got. Or take a photo. Just remember to take your statin before you come

    Shrimp & Grits

    This was actually my second time visiting, so I decided to try something different from the menu. On my first visit, I ordered the smoked salmon and poached eggs breakfast entrée. This time around, I went with the shrimp and grits. While the presentation wasn't the best, the dish was extremely flavorful. It truly hit all the taste notes that make a meal memorable. 10/10 -- would absolutely recommend!

    Been wanting to go here for a little while now, I love the location in downtown Decatur however I was a little unimpressed. We sat at the bar in hopes of faster service... that was not the case. We received our food but trying to get someone's attention for silverware took quite a while. The drinks were just ok, although they have quite a few cocktails available. And the food was just okay... nothing super special. However, the restaurant itself is really pretty. Ambiance is chill, definitely a place where you can meet with a friend to catch up so that was nice.

    Stopped in for brunch and got a few items. I got the Reuben with a substitute for turkey. It did not really look like turkey. It look more like corned beef, but it was good. The French toast was just OK. However, the corn beef hash was amazing. The service was great and the ambience is very laid-back. I will try a couple more dishes. The next time I go back overall had a good experience.

    House made food with excellent flavor. My husband NEVER likes grits but these were a hit because they were so hearty and even had pieces of corn. Everyone was friendly and I love that they offer some outdoor seating for days when the weather is nice. Parking not the greatest but there's a garage right across the street. Overall, Highly recommend.

    Pork sandwich with collard greens and onions on rye!  Sooooooo good!
    Robin D.

    OMG what a nice surprise this place. The food is amazing! Our waiter was great, loved that he made suggestions for my side.

    Cobb Salad
    Andrea F.

    Service was outstanding, food was good as well. We went for brunch on Sunday and since we arrived closer to their time to closing, we were able to be seated immediately. Our server was friendly, prompt and provided a few suggestions. We ordered our breakfast and everything was cooked to perfection. Served hot and was fresh. Cobb salad with pork on side was refreshing and the perfect portion size. The breakfast platter was served with a pumpkin pancake, choice of meat and eggs cooked to your liking. No complaints. Parking is available at a reduced rate if you park in the correct parking lot.

    Peanut butter banana pancake
    Carlie M.

    Came in last Sunday for breakfast. Such a cute spot! We got there around 10am and easily got a seat. It started filling up around 11. Our waiter was nice and attentive. I got a sweet potato pancake with peanut butter and banana plus a side of eggs. The pancake was soooo good!! Definitely recommend!

    Grits and whole hog sausage on side, excellent
    Antwynette R.

    Top notch breakfast brunch spot! Can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Excellent food, excellent Bloody Mary, good service. One of the few places where you can get decent grits that actually taste great! One of the few places that sells whole hog sausage, also delicious. Today's meal was short ribs and grits. The corned beef hash is a favorite. Every dish I've eaten here has been very good and very well presented! I took off a star because it can get pricey, particularly with the small, unexpected upcharges.

    Reuben with cobb salad
    Joy C.

    Great breakfast spot right outside the city! Location and Parking Located in downtown Decatur, Folk art validates parking in the garage for 2 hours. Street parking is free on Sunday. Venue and Atmosphere The bright retro feel of Folk Art drew me in immediately! I opted for table seated and enjoyed my table being bathed in natural light while I perused the menu. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages I had the reuben and cobb salad. While the salad was refreshing and delicious (always order extra dressing), the reuben needed more cheese and sauce. Verdict I'll be back!

    I hadn't been here in a long time, so when a friend suggested to reunite here after not seeing each other for way too long, I was of course immediately in! Our brunch date began around 10:45am this morning (Saturday). I parked in the parking garage directly across from the restaurant (viewable from the window). Sadly, I found out that they don't validate! They do however offer discounted parking on a different garage, so be sure to park there instead. My friend walked in as I was parking and immediately got us a table. For a Saturday, this was especially exciting. I had worried about this since I couldn't find online where they took reservations for parties under 10 people, but I didn't need to! While they had other patrons dining already, they weren't completely slammed. I walked in the doors and entered a cute, casual restaurant with artsy flair. Our waitress was stylish and friendly. I ordered the three egg omelette with Gruyère, red peppers, green peppers, and mushrooms. The omelette was a little well-done for my taste, but still yummy. It came with a thick cup of grits that had corn in it, which gave it a nice sweet taste, as well as a choice of toast (I went with an English muffin for an up-charge), along with my request for the peach habanero jam that was calling my name. My friend got the gluten free French toast with hash browns and avocado. It's always nice to go somewhere where allergies are accommodated. I look forward to returning to try more dishes!

    There are real gems out there in Atlanta, often hidden away, far from the lens of influencers and…read moresnobby patrons. Cafe Alsace is one such discovery that belongs on the radar of those in the know. Having been around since 1997 and founded by a French immigrant, Benedicte Cooper, this is one of the more unique establishments focused on specific cuisine of Alsace region. Spectacular liver pate. Incredible Flammekueche flatbread. Ridiculously inexpensive selection of great wines, up charged at 1.5x retail. I mean, where does one find deals like that in today's market? The patio has a couple pleasantly setup tables. Sadly, as with most Atlanta patios, it is next to the relatively busy road, but it is what it is. With all this said, Cafe Alsace is a real winner when it comes to a casual French meal.

    I visited Cafe Alsace recently to enjoy a Valentine's Day dinner with my wife. It had the same…read moreauthentic, small cafe charm that I remembered from a prior visit years ago, but in a nice touch it was also all decked out for the holiday. As many restaurants do for Valentine's Day, they offered a prix fixe menu including a starter (wonderful chestnut soup), main (we chose a savory crepe with sautéed chicken), and dessert (a light raspberry puff pastry). Each course was delicious and accented by additional Valentine's touches (see photos). I'm not an expert on French cuisine but I can say the food is reminiscent of meals I've enjoyed traveling in France. Service was on point and we were well taken care of throughout the night with each course arriving in a timely manner. Note they do not have parking or valet, so if you make a reservation allow time to find a parking spot in downtown Decatur (some of the public garages are quite pricey so a short walk is worthwhile). Cafe Alsace offers a delicious meal in a romantic setting, so give them a try if you want a can't-miss date night.

    Ugh, they are closed for the time being. The building they are in did not renew their lease…read more Stupidity! Tried this place out for the first time a few weeks ago. It's adjacent to a parking deck and small. Very cozy, though! The menu is simple and it was a one-man show that day (other staff had left due to closing). LOVED IT! The coleslaw was really good and the Sammie was probably one of the freshest I've had. We had to wait a bit due to it being just him but worth the wait. I did the hot chick ... yeah, I can get away with saying that ... and it was huge, overflowing, tender and fresh. This is a SOLID spot. I was told they'd be re-opening nearby and I hope that's the case. They were BUSY as well so it's clearly not a customer issue. Check them out when they re-open. Simple and amazing!

    The sweet potato fries ALONE... Makes this 5 stars. Ok... Sweet potato fries AND the comeback…read moresauce. Mmm... And the ATL chick. Ok listen, this spot is in the cut wedged between Bank of America and the back of Cornerstone Bank. It has about 7 booths and 4 tables (mostly 2 tops). Customer service is warm and friendly, it always feels like you've known the guys working for years. Now the food...O.M.G. My favorite is the ATL chick which is juicy fried chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce and... ANNNND... lemon pepper. Cmon. We're in ATL. What other way is there?! Then it has ranch drizzled on top and dressed how you want... lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle. Even the bread is yummy. The sweet potato fries are crispy and airy and go great with the comeback sauce which is whatever smoky heavenly concoction they came up with as a sauce. Listen if you're in downtown Decatur... Do yourself a favor and get here! There is street parking available and you can pay by app or at the meter. It's about $2 for an hour. They also serve salads, other sandwiches, and breakfast. Small collection of beer, wine, and cocktails.
