It was loaded with crawfish and instead of the typical spinach dip, it was made with collard greens which was a nice touch. The only thing I complained about was not having more! For drinks, we ordered the lychee martinis which were not lacking in flavor or alcohol. Loved. For the mains, we ordered the curry goat and rice entree (8/10), the mango hot honey shrimp (9/10), and oxtail rigatoni (8/10). Each dish had really strong flavor profiles which we really enjoyed. Overall it was a great visit and the staff were very professional and friendly.

We ended the night at The Gallery, Rock Steady's lounge/night club where the music was on point and our section for 20 was well taken care of! All in all a great time from start to finish! Great food. Great Vibes. Great Music. We'll stay regulars!

After surviving an absolute dumpster fire of an establishment that shall reman nameless , we…read morestumbled in here still vibrating with rage and wishing we'd just come here first. We grabbed seats at the bar and were immediately rescued by Summer, our bartender and guardian angel, who was stellar from the second we walked in until we rolled out. The vibe is impeccably clean and looks like it actually costs money to maintain. I ordered a lemon drop that was so close to perfection I suspect dark magic was involved. My husband got the Long Bay Beach, which he claimed was equally flawless. I went with the lamb chops, sweet mashed potatoes, and cabbage.......a 10/10 masterpiece I would legally marry if the state allowed it. My husband inhaled the oxtails with rice, peas, and cabbage, declaring them properly finger-licking good. We escaped with a bill of around $135, automatic 18% tip included because Summer deserved every penny. This place is officially reigning supreme the next time the Caribbean craving hits.

Since they renovated, it seems like they're trying to turn it into a club/lounge instead of a family friendly restaurant. Even by the attire of the servers in this strange bustier corsets... They only have one high chair available for the whole place. Also, 21+ in the evenings???? Hookah???? This place unfortunately caught the Atlanta bug. If you're trying to go get lit for a date night or girls night go for it, but if you're someone just wanting a chill meal this is no longer it

The banana chocolate cake was also delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and decorations are unique. The service was excellent and the staff was very professional and catered to our needs.

As someone who is known for seeking out and truly testing vegetarian options at Caribbean…read morerestaurants, I have to say--Miss Conduck is easily the best Caribbean flavor restaurant in Atlanta. And coming from a Jamaican background, let me be clear: the usual Trinidad vs. Jamaica debate does not apply here. This place stands on its own. From the moment the food hit the table, one thing was consistent across everything we ordered: it was hot, fresh, and made with real intention and flavor. We started with the fried cauliflower bites. The batter was light, crispy, and well done--definitely a solid starter. I wasn't a big fan of the tartar sauce it came with, but it didn't take away from the quality of the cauliflower itself. My friend ordered the jerk chicken rolls, and I have to give credit where it's due--the sauce that came with those rolls was incredible. Easily one of the standout sauces of the night. Next, I had the doubles, and because I like my food with a kick, I asked for pepper sauce. Now, I'll admit--I made my first one obnoxiously hot. But what I discovered was the real winning combination: adding the callaloo on top of the doubles. That was the perfect match. The callaloo itself is blended with so many elements into a rich, flavorful purée, and when paired with the doubles, it created this burst of layered, authentic Caribbean flavor that was just on point. I also ordered a veggie plate with rice and peas, cabbage, and chickpeas, and they did not disappoint. The portion size was generous, and every single item was clearly made with flavor in mind--not just thrown together as an afterthought for vegetarians. I also tried the macaroni pie--it's a smaller portion, but it's true Caribbean mac and cheese, rich and satisfying. The fried plantains were done perfectly--hot, fresh, and with that ideal balance of sweetness and texture. Then came the rasta pasta. My first couple of bites, I thought it needed a little more kick--but by the third bite, everything came together perfectly. You can taste the layers of vegetables building flavor, and there's a subtle heat that isn't overpowering but adds depth. The noodles were cooked exactly how they should be--perfect texture, not overdone, not undercooked. One thing I always pay attention to is this: Is a vegetarian-friendly restaurant also approved by meat eaters? And in this case, the answer is absolutely yes. My friend had the jerk chicken, and she said it was spectacular. She actually lives nearby and already plans to come back regularly. Honestly, I was surprised the place wasn't packed wall to wall. The atmosphere is incredible--it has its own unique style that really makes you feel like you've stepped into the Caribbean. The music, the vibe, everything is intentional. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. We even watched them handle a large party, and they went above and beyond to make sure that group was fully taken care of. All in all, this place exceeded expectations on every level. Five stars without hesitation. If you're in Atlanta and want real Caribbean flavor--whether you eat meat or not--Miss Conduck is a must-visit. I highly recommend making a reservation and experiencing it for yourself.

You can tell there's real creativity behind the menu, and everything feels thoughtfully put together. The overall vibe, from the design to the food, makes it a place I genuinely enjoy returning to. Definitely one of my go-to spots.

When I got home and tasted that food, it was worth the wait! Those oxtails slide right off the bone with a hint of sweet and spicy, just how I like them! The greens OMG some of the best I've ever tasted, the jerk chicken if you don't like spice they may not be for you. The heat hits afterwards but I love spicy foods so it was yes for me! The Mac and cheese was cheesing, I know my leftovers gonna hit different today! My only complaint was I needed a little more sauce on my yams but they were still bussing!

For food we tried a few things; the strawberry pancakes, the jerk chicken sandwich, and a side of jerk chicken. Everything was really flavorful and tasty. I'm not normally a pancake person but I loved the strawberry compote on the pancakes. I'm looking forward to making this my go-to brunch spot or bringing out of town visitors here to impress.
