I want to post a photo, but unfortunately, it was so good I finished it before I could snap a pic. I got some sort of beef and gravy sauce can't remember exactly what it's called but it was tender juicy flavorful 10 out of 10! My sides were sweet potato mash, and cabbage. Both also 10/10! Service was great! You're going to be missing out if you bypass. read more

Grannys Soul Food - Sad that it's all gone! - Soul Food Near Me - Austell, Georgia

I'm writing to let you know that my family and I will no longer be returning to your restaurant due to repeated issues with service and food quality. During my most recent visit, I requested a simple side of meatballs and was told I could not order it. This was disappointing, especially considering that many of your sides have not been tasting good lately, and the ribs and chicken have been consistently covered in too much BBQ sauce. In addition, the customer service has become increasingly rude, and the portion sizes have gotten smaller while the prices remain high. My family has been loyal customers for a long time, but the experience has declined to the point where we no longer feel valued. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make improvements for future customers. read more

We had a craving for soul food but it was a Monday evening, after 6 PM and our local spot was closed permanently! I did a quick Google and Granny's popped up with great reviews. It's located in a gas station plaza so it's easy to miss - so much that I've passed this place dozens of times. Walking in I could tell this place had legit food by the patrons eating and food in warmers. All fried food is cooked to order and I saw some fish plates coming out. Our dinners included BBQ chicken, Mac & Cheese, collard greens, green beans and a side of black eyed peas with rice. The service from the manager was very sweet and conversational. He was surprised this was our first time in! We also ordered dessert - a peach cobbler, but it went so fast (my son) that I didn't get a pic! He rated it very high! It's a small, casual place but there's a few tables to wait or stay to eat. We took ours to go. Lastly, the prices were what I'd expect. There's no more $10 plates these days but a $14 plate works for me! Try this place out. read more

Real home cooking! In an effort to ditch fast-food I stopped here on a road trip and I was not disappointed. Service was super friendly and the food was incredibly good. I can't wait for my next trip down I-20W to stop in. read more

Grannys Soul Food - Rib tips, Macaroni & Cheese and black eyed peas - Soul Food Near Me - Austell, Georgia

This review is based solely on the food because my husband picked it up for takeout. According to him, the service was excellent, and the staff was warm and welcoming. I ordered Fried Whiting Fish, Macaroni and Cheese, Fried Okra, and a Cornbread Muffin. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but a few small details kept it from being a true standout. The Fried Whiting was seasoned and fried well. I also liked that they removed the skin from the bottom of the fish. However, the fish didn't taste as fresh as it could have. There is a noticeable difference between fresh fish and fish that's past its freshness date. Unfortunately, this fish leaned more towards the latter with an unpleasant "fishy" taste. The fish also had a few bones in it, so if you order whiting, be mindful of this. The Macaroni and Cheese was decent, but it could have used an extra layer of cheese, or an additional kind of cheese to make it pop, but that's my personal preference. The Fried okra was fried well, but it could have used just a pinch more salt to liven it up. The Cornbread muffin was excellent! It had the right texture and flavor. No complaints there at all. All in all, I enjoyed the meal, and I look forward to ordering from here again! read more

If you're looking for veggies the way grandma made them then this is the place. I don't eat meat so can't offer a review; however, my friends seem to enjoy it. read more

This place is a little hole in the wall next door to a gas station and a laundromat. What I like is that almost all of the food is already made when you arrive so you just have to pick what you want. The only exception is the fried foods, which are made to order. I had the oxtail plate and ribs on the side. I added rice and paired it with yams, macaroni, and corn bread. I really enjoyed the food for the most part. The sweetness in the cornbread and the yams is subtle. This place isn't much for ambiance, but they do have some tables and chairs so you can dine in if you like, but overall it's more of a carry out vibe. Customers consistently came in and out which shows that people like the food. My friend ordered the beef tip plate and she felt it was just okay. I would come back again. Though I could do without the styrofoam containers. read more

So I decided to come back and try their most expensive plate, the Oxtail plate. Everything tasted good, no complaints on that, the Oxtails are thin but they gave me like 7-10 pieces so they made up for it. I'll be back to try something different. read more

I bought oxtails w/ greens, broccoli & cheese casserole and a lemon cake. I'll start off saying everything is cooked right. Oxtails was juicy and tender as well the greens. Broccoli & cheese casserole was not gummy and it was cheesy. However, everything lacked flavor, oxtails just taste like bell peppers, greens were bland and the casserole just tastes like cheese. The lemon cake is bought in from a bakery and it was bad, I just preferred it to be a little more moist. read more

Best place for family and friends. Excellant service from Sam at Granny's Soul Food store #2. My husband and I moved from AZ to Clarksville TN close to Christmas time and we knew no one here, then Sam at the #2 store invited us to come in and join the folks at the #1 store, as all other locations would be closed. There might not have been room at the inn but Granny's was another story additionally we were fed marvelous food from breakfast to Dinner. I especially enjoy the meatloaf as it tastes just like my Momma's. Highly recommend Granny's at anytime of the day. Enjoy the Blessing of bountiful, & tasty vittles in a homey place where folks gather. read more

Ambience: Granny's is attached to a gas station and I couldn't tell it was open from the parking lot but then I finally saw the open sign and walked in. Right by the front entrance was a smoker that was cooking and smelled so good. I couldn't wait to see what the were serving. The restaurant is cafeteria style with a few seats to dine in. Food: They have a big selection of ready made food but all the fried food is cooked to order and takes about 10 minutes. I opted for the Salisbury meatballs, green beans, and potato salad. All the sides looked so good I added a veggie plate with Mac and cheese, broccoli rice casserole, squash, and dressing. I finished my order with banana pudding. The Salisbury meatballs were really good, tender, and well seasoned. The banana pudding is good too. The banana to cookie ratio was great, and the bananas were thinly sliced and did not overtake the pudding. Everything else is decent. The food is solid, nothing tasted bad but everything could have used a little more salt and season. It all tasted like Granny is watching her sodium intake. Service: The guy serving me was friendly and patient as I asked a lot of questions and was really unsure of what I wanted. Overall I would give this place a 3.5 star rating and I will definitely go back. Despite the mediocre score, this is the best soul food I've had in the Austell area. read more

I had the ribs with squash and Mac and cheese. Everything was amazing. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and polite. Our serve, Randall offered us samples and put enough food on our plates to make sure we left full. Highly recommen! read more

First time, the gas station strip mall location was a promising sign. It helped that several people were walking out with to go orders as I was walking up. First thing I noticed walking in was the bright, clean space. Then the smiling woman behind the counter and the neat, clean steam trays she was serving from. There's a (at least one) cook in the back making fresh food. There are several tables but guessing they do mostly takeaway. There's a huge array of southern and Soul favorites, all looked good. It's New Years Day, I just had black eyed peas, greens and cornbread - all were delicious. Not a deep dive, but it was very good. read more

I tend to stay away from soul food restaurants due to over seasoning/salting of the food. However, my dad was visiting and ask for some. My 91 yr old dad has HBP, along with other health issues that call for him and most mature adults to be mindful of their salt and sugar intake. When I arrived, I was greeted promptly by a friendly young man. I asked if i could order the cook to order food w/o salt. He said yes, " we are trying to keep our customers, not kill them". That warmed my heart and I knew I made the right choice coming to Granny's. I ordered fried catfish, whiting and pork chop, along with the prepared sides in the warmers. I, my husband and dad loved everything!! The food was gently seasoned to perfection. I wish other soul food restaurants would take a page from Granny's and lighten up on the salt as it contributes to many health related aliments that plague our communities. read more

If I wanted leftovers, I would've just eaten what was in my fridge. I ordered through DD last night. I ordered the BBQ chicken, cornbread stuffing, and yams. The chicken had obviously been in the crockpot for at least 3 days. Black, hard, dry, disgusting. The cornbread stuffing was dry and bland. The yams were greasy. Never ever again. $60 in the trash. The cakes are boxed mixes. Horrible. read more

Some of the reviews had me nervous, because we know good soul food (having grown up in the Chi & the Nap and lived all over the United States) but being in town for just the weekend- Granny's hit the spot! The service was welcoming, friendly, and attentive! Even after our meal, they checked on us! We had just hit up Pascal's yesterday (which was really good), but Granny's fried catfish, fried whiting and mac and cheese were more on point (sorry- just facts)!!! The squash, cabbage, rice and gravy, and green beans were perfect! The only thing that was a little over salted was the fried okra (2 shakes less and it would've been perfect)! We can't comment on the dessert yet because we are too full to eat them now, but we did order the peach cobbler, pound cake, and strawberry cake. Based off of what we've had so far, we will be back! UPDATE (desserts)- my husband couldn't contain himself and had to take a bite of the strawberry cake and he loves it! read more

Great Barbecue and excellent service. I highly recommend this place if you're hungry for barbecue.

I refuse to visit the south and not go to a soul food restaurant. We came across this place because most of the other soul food places we visited were only doing takeout due to Covid- 19 THE SERVICE ------------ The owner met us at the door and seated us. She was very engaging and gave us the history of how she started the restaurant. She made sure our drinks stayed full. THE FOOD ------------ The food was served cafeteria style and was hot and fresh. I ordered baked Turkey wings, collard greens, mashed potatoes and Mac and Cheese. The turkey wings were falling off the bone tender and very flavorful. The greens were seasoned but not overly salty with just the right amount of spice. The Mac and Cheese was cheesy and the pasta was not over or undercooked. The mashed potatoes with gravy were the perfect accompaniment to the Turkey wings. Sweet Tea is a staple in the south and Granny's Tea certainly hit the spot. Overall this was a great dining experience. read more

Took a wrong turn and passed a Service Station, then I spotted the sign Granny's Soul Food. Stopped, could finish getting lost later. I entered and the food was cafeteria style and ordered turkey wing, greens and peas and rice. Dessert peach cobbler. Service was good. Food was Good too as I finished it! They were missing condiments like hot sauce and pepper vinegar. Would recommend. read more

Ayo! Missed the opportunity to check these guys out during Covid but I remembered during my recent visit and they didn't disappoint! Come check out this Ox tail on rice. Black eye peas and these greens is hittin. Top it all off with a sweet tea and some peach cobbler oooweeee! You want that fried food it gets done fresh and takes about 8 mins. Next time is the catfish with some lemon pepper!!! read more

Let me tell y'all how I've been passing by this place for about 4 years. I would have never imagined the food being good. Yeah, it'd a little spot and can easily miss it. It is next to what is now a Chevron gas station at the answer section of 6 flags Parkway and Blair's bridge road. So about 2 weeks ago now I want some vegetables but there was not any place that I could really think of to go. So something said in my brain to go check out this place And I am glad I did!!! My first visit was on Friday 7/24. Squash and something else.. can't rememberw/ cornbread muffin. Dang... my tastebuds were dancing . Next day, Saturday I run ‍ to catch them before closing . I waited too late, most of the veggies were gone. Wait! Are those field peas left? Got to have them. I promised I'll be back Monday. Monday, 7/27 and there I was. Ready. So as you can see one plate squash,cabbage, broccoli cheese casserole and field peas! Yum yum!. I didn't take a picture of my mom's plate, but hers was similar with yams and no brocolli casserole. So now this is in my weekly rotation. Prices are reasonable. I have not had a meat plate yet, but those look good too! Obviously I'm making up for passing by...... so why don't you go ahead and give them a try! read more

Looks can be very deceiving ! Although this plce is called Grannys Soul Food, I do not think granny was nowhere near. I spent $41 dollars at the place just to be disappointed. I bought the fried Pork chop with a Catfish Platter. The catfish smelled fishy, none of my sides had flavor and was very bland. The only thing good was the dressing and lemonade. Dont even waste your money on the desserts. Money down the drain read more

Hey y'all, this is my second time eating here first time was great but this second time was a bit shaky! My sides are delicious but this turkey wing has 0 flavor! It's cooked pretty good just missing the seasoning! Also for the turkey wing to be $16 it could have a lot more seasoning! Even the skin is bland! The customer service is good but I think I just caught them on a bad day ! read more

The location was cool. When I arrived the grill was going and it smelled amazing. The customer service was amazing. The restaurant has a great menu selection. Fried chicken and Fried fish are cooked to order so be prepared to wait 15 mins. Food looked amazing. I got home and tasted the food it was disgusting no seasoning at all. I have never had fried chicken without seasoning, this restaurant has unlocked a new fear for me. Soul food without flavor I didn't even no that was possible. My first visit and last visit. Green were super bland, Mac and cheese tasted like nothing (yuck). The broccoli, cheese and rice tasted like plain white rice. I love supporting local cuisine but this is a NO for me. read more

Grannys Soul Food is connected to a gas station and honestly doesn't look like much when you first walk in. I'm the type of person who believes hole in the walls have the best food so it was not offputting to me. The food was on display . Everything looked fresh and delicious. You were able to choose which main dish and sides. I was a little disappointed I drove here just for the turkey wings however they only had turkey necks. When I wanted the barbecue chicken I was told that they were out of that as well. I ended up getting the cube steak over rice with collard greens and green beans. It was a little pricey, almost $15 with tax however the portion size was large. Pros- I like that the food is on display and readily available. The food was also very tasty. Cons- They have a seating inside however it really wasn't that clean and I didn't feel comfortable eating there.I ate in the car, I was so hungry I couldn't drive 30 minutes home. Overall I did enjoy my meal, and if I was in the area I would definitely comeback. read more

It saddens me that Granny 's has taken turn downward. The vegetables are bland and seasonless. They have lost that Granny's taste and Soulfood touch. Today was my last day. read more

Food was better than average. The ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. All to go Styrofoam and it next to a shady gas station.

Welp, the service was so nice. The people that work there are top tier. But, the food was not good. The food had zero seasoning and the pork chops I ordered had obviously been fried and battered in the same grease and batter as their fish. I was so mad because I've never got pork chops that tasted and smelled exactly like fried catfish. Overall, it was a one and done for me. But try it for yourself. The cornbread was good and the pineapple Fanta read more

1st time through Uber Eats, my daughter treated me to soul food so I tried a new place based on pictures and reviews. The fried chicken was seasoned well and juicy, however, the collard greens I ordered were tasteless, canned green beans and the mac and cheese was a piece of melted cheese amongst the noodles. So disappointed. read more

The food here is great and the workers are even better as soon as you walk in your greeted by very welcoming employees. this restaurant isn't what I expected it's more of like a buffet style and you choose as you go, but I honestly really liked that because it means that there wasn't super long wait times and they did have food that you could have made to order. They also allowed taste testing for certain foods that you might not always try, which I really liked especially just because of the pricing all in all this is a great hole in the wall restaurant and I'm surprised it is it more known and I definitely think that people should get out and give it a try. I will be back for sure! read more
