Stopped in at Soul Food & Culture at Krog Street Market after a long walk and WOW... one of the…read morebest meals I've had in a long time. Chicken and waffles were unreal, mac & cheese was rich and perfect, and the red velvet cake was next level. My wife had the fried turkey wings with collard greens and fries -- absolutely incredible. But what really made it special was the woman running the place -- you can feel the pride and love in the food. No shortcuts, just real Southern cooking done right. You can tell it's the real deal because all the locals love her. If you're in Atlanta, don't miss this spot. #AtlantaEats #SoulFood #KrogStreetMarket #SupportLocal #Foodie

This is my 3rd visit and I waited to write a review because I was really hoping my experiences…read morewould get better. I patronized the restaurant because it's Black Owned and conveniently close to work. My 1st visit I ordered a fish sandwich and it was good but my experience ordering wasn't. I get it that you should order a meal how it comes without modifying if the owner thinks it is best served the way it is created but the way the conversation was delivered left a bad taste in my mouth. My 2nd disappointment was last week when I walked over to buy a slice of chocolate cake. I had it before on my 1st visit and it was delicious. The cashier did not respond to my greeting and looked like she didn't want to be there at all. The cake had not been touched yet so all I saw was chocolate frosting. As she lifts the slice off the cake I see it was actually 3 different flavors/colors. That's not what I wanted/ordered so I asked to switch to Red Velvet. She got an attitude and her entire demeanor seemed aggravated but if she had told me that it wasn't an actual chocolate cake when I ordered and paid it would've saved her the time and aggravation. My 3rd visit today I ordered online ahead of time for a 1:15 pickup. I walked over and arrived at 1:10. My order was bagged and ready. I walked back to my office less than 5 mins. The potato wedges were still hot and well seasoned. Def a fave. The chicken sandwich as you can see in the pictures looked old. I took the first bite and almost choked because the chicken was too dry. It had been fried too hard. I even tried a 2nd bite. I'm honestly too tired to go back to request a refund. I just know that it should not have been served and that's coming from 20 years of restaurant experience.

O heard that Wednesday is oxtail day- g Food is overall good. Prices are a little on the higher scale but the portions are generous. The sweet teamonade is good but it's not made with fresh lemonade. It's made out of lemonade that comes out of a bag....(silence) and not so beautiful. It's way too sweet, and as easy as it is to make lemonade with simple syrup. Well, most customers that visited while I dined have ailments that can be cured and healed with proper diet. And that's beautiful! So w are trusting the beautiful can and will make a difference. Not just on this day, but everyday.

As someone stopping in on the way to work, I didn't have time to wait that long. Unfortunately, the experience left such a bad impression that I didn't even eat the food I ordered.

I went to this establishment many years ago when it was called 285 Soulfood. The food was great…read morethen and it is great now. After seeing recent reviews online for the newer place, A1 Soul Food I decided to give it a try when I was in the area during lunch time. The area is a bit sketchy. It shares a lot with an vacant Dollar Tree & a few other businesses. Lock your car & be aware of your surroundings because you never know what you may see. That is honestly the way to be anywhere on MLK drive. When you get inside, the place is set up cafeteria line style with booths for dining in if you choose too. The prices are listed on the wall and they serve breakfast and lunch/dinner food with the prices listed clearly on the wall and daily specials also. You order by standing in line & they place your food into a styrofoam box & you can eat it there or take it home. I opted to take mine to go. I waited in line for about ten minutes which I hear is good for this place. I honestly did not know what I was going to order until I saw the fresh fried pork chops come out (please see my picture). Not only did they look fresh, but they were big, crispy & well seasoned. The meat only option included two and the price was more than right. I will be back for those again the next time I am in the mood for some soul food.

A1 Soul Food is one of those places that has truly stood the test of time for me…read more This is real, down-home cooking--like a Sunday dinner any day of the week. The portions are amazing, the food is always fresh, and you can genuinely taste the consistency and care in every bite. It's the kind of place you go to when you want something filling and comforting. My personal favorites are the fried catfish and the smothered turkey legs--omg, they are so flavorful and always cooked just right. I've grown up eating here, and one thing I can say is the quality has never changed, which is rare and definitely appreciated. The vibe is simple and laid-back, but the food speaks for itself. It's all about good, hearty meals that keep you coming back. Also, if you're in the area, you definitely have to check out Wing Cafe right next door--another solid spot you don't want to miss

The owner was in the building too and she was very kind and willing to engage about the history of her family's influence. I tried the turkey wing plate with the sausage and shrimp red rice along with the Lima beans. My spouse said the items seemed mixed matched but I felt like it was my prerogative to try the item I want so that's what I got. Everything was delicious. The red rice is a tad different than how my family typically makes it in flavor palette but I enjoyed it. Ours has a little less bite from the tomatoes which is probably just a difference in how much sugar is used to balance the savory. I have to also say, that turkey wing was very tender and the gravy was flavorful. How often is it we see a beautiful color to a tough and tasteless turkey wing??? Well done here. I'm interested in trying the steak plate and sides next time. A nice treat was them having Pepsi available. Can't wait to get back around for another try.

I visited because of a ChimeTime review. It's attached to a gas station so parking may be an issue…read morebut there was plenty of parking spaces the day I went. Once you place an order, they will text you once your food is ready, so you can chill in the car if you choose. There isn't a lot of seating in the restaurant. It took a while for my food to come out, so much so that I thought they forgot about me. As soon as walked back into the restaurant to remind them that it had been 30 mins since I ordered, I received a text that my food was ready. I ordered oxtail, Mac and cheese, and greens for myself. Turkey wings, yams, and green beans for someone else. All meals come with red rice. The food was good but they need to tone it down with the salt. It was so good that I ended up eating the other plate as well. The banana pudding was hands down, the best I've had thus far. It is pricey especially if you are feeding a family. I will be back to try other menu items.

I tried out Gocha's newest venture one Saturday when I really wanted something good to eat but I…read moredidn't want to drive far to get it. I remembered I received an email about this place opening (it took the place of the salad bar spot that was here-i didn't even realize that they closed) so decided to drop in. The food at her other restaurants is very good so I figured I couldn't go wrong here. The set up of the restaurant is fast casual cafeteria style, similar to Piccadilly, Big Daddy's, etc. You basically pick your meat and your 2 sides to go with your meal. There is an up charge for certain things. I decided to get the grilled salmon (in an effort to not do too much and kind of stay on the light side) with sweet potato soufflé and collard greens. For certain items you have a small wait for your protein, like i did for my salmon. When I got home I couldn't wait to dig in. I took one bite of my salmon and it was overcooked and dry and also flavorless. The collard greens were okay. The best thing on my plate was the cornbread and the sweet potatoes. Looking at the other reviews I see I am not alone because I thought I would be a one off. I know Gocha is very involved in her restaurants so I hope she makes some major improvements with the offerings here because what I had was not it. The three stars are for the customer service-it was great. But please do something about that food.
