I'd give them 4.5 if I could but since they were pretty good I'll go ahead and give them a 5. Being intentional on Juneteenth to patronize Black owned businesses (except our stop for a quick drink at Paper Planes) we chose to eat here than at the food trucks at the Hapeville Juneteenth celebration, which was really good. We parked behind the building and a woman who worked there had the door open. She had on a shirt that read Legalize being Black. My husband had on a Black Lives Matter shirt, & I had on a Juneteenth shirt. She smiled and raised her fist at us as we asked to enter through the door and we responded in kind. I love us! She toke U.S. to grab a menu as we walked in to the right of the bar. We found a high top and found what we wanted and went to the counter to order. The prices are reasonable until you get to adding the sides. I overheard another worker tell a couple who ordered after us to order the veggie plate if they were getting 4 sides as it was cheaper. I wish the person who took our order had told use that. The entrees are à la carte and priced reasonably. The sides are $5 each with a few exceptions, a hoecake is $2 and mac & cheese and a couple other sides are $6. Keep that in mind when you come. Our total for our inside dining with a can of ginger ale, fountain Diet Coke, & tip was like $70+ & the to go order for our son's meal w/o a drink was ~$30. It's definitely a good value if you only need an entree and have sides already. The food is good and has large pieces of meat & decent portions so there you go... I ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter, smoked beef brisket with the barbecue sauce on the side, smoked turkey cabbage, dressing, & the lemon pound cake. Ironically, the fried green tomatoes came out last. They were piping hot though. They could've used a dash of salt but that cornmeal batter was perfection on the tomatoes. You get 3 and 1 was cut a little too thick and it was slightly mushy maybe cause it had to cook longer? But it was still good. The beef brisket was good. It's sliced thin and had that good smoke flavor and was seasoned well. The thicker slices could've been a bit more tender but overall it could rival some barbecue joints. The dressing was good and so was the cabbage, though it was almost tad bit saltier than I'd like. I'd order everything I had again. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed my food. You know not everyone who claims to cook southern food can do so. Oh the pound cake was good and moist. It reminds me of Sammy Chhesecake pound cake. My husband ordered the 3 pieces of fried chicken, collard greens & they do have a lil kick as the menu suggests, green beans, & yellow rice. He was pleasantly surprised with how big the pieces of chicken were. Nowadays people give you what looks like pigeon parts ‍. He said it was a tad salty. He said he also enjoyed his meal otherwise. I forgot to get pictures of the food for our son's takeout order of fried pork chops, collard greens, mac & cheese, & a hoecake. He liked his food as well but also said his pork chops, which were nice size center cut, were well seasoned, but a little too much. He enjoyed the meal and his 1st hoecake. They also do catering and seemed to have a large catering order being prepared to go out. The restaurant & woman's restroom was clean. The staff were friendly and quickly acknowledged us. The music was good but it would've been good to hear a mix of old school with the hip hop since it was Juneteenth. They have a full bar. The only thing I didn't like was Fox News & another conservative news channel on; at least not on JuneteenthZ a generic movie or TV show would've been better for me anyway. They had a steady stream of to go orders and in person dining. I guess we're just late to know about read more

The staff here today were so kind, but the owner was extremely off putting. His rudeness almost made me leave, but the young ladies at the register were super nice, I decided to stay. Inside was very clean, prices are very good and portion sizes are even better. I did see that on the receipt I was charged a "packaging fee" and I do think that's greedy. Ordered the chicken tender basket and it was really good! read more

This place was such a great find! There's free parking behind the building, which made things super convenient. The staff was genuinely some of the friendliest we've experienced anywhere. Very welcoming and attentive from the moment we walked in. The soul food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the fried okra, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, sweet potatoes, and greens, and every single thing was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The sweet potatoes and greens tasted like pure comfort food on a plate. The music was a little on the louder side, but it also gave the restaurant a fun, lively atmosphere. Overall, definitely a spot worth visiting if you want flavorful soul food and great hospitality. read more

We just arrived in Atlanta and we were looking for some good food to start the visit. I found this place in Yelp. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly and advised how to order. I ordered fried catfish, greens and Mac. They were playing good music and the place was clean. For dessert, I ordered peach cobbler with ice cream. Everything was good. I didn't order the ribs but my husband did and they were good! read more

Love supporting this business, but have learned a few things after several visits. Everyone is pretty welcoming and kind. The bar is always jumping, with what seems to be regulars enjoying a vibe! Dining in, the wait can be excruciatingly painful(cooked to order, and it seems carry out gets priority), especially if you are hongree'! LOL The fried chicken can be incredibly delicious or disappointingly mid. The sides are solid! Sometimes the greens are a lil sweeter than preferred, but the black eye peas(when they have them) hit, the dressing and gravy are a nice lil 1..2, and the hoe cakes and honey butter are the show stealers! Honorable mention, the burger and wings always satisfy. I wish the turkey wing portion was more generous, because it's a nice option. read more

Lickety Split Southern Kitchen & Bar - Glazed Ribs - Southern Near Me - Hapeville, Georgia

I had a great time at this restaurant. I was able to try a lot of the dishes, and see what I liked. Greens: they had a nice flavor, and had a kick of spice. I do wish that they had smoked turkey in them, but it's a nice option if you don't eat meat. Mac and cheese: it was pretty good, and complimented a lot of the dishes. Yams: not a fan. They weren't sweet at all. Dressing: the dressing was so good, but it was a little too moist for me. The shrimp was ok, but it could've had more flavor. I'd definitely come back here again as the service was great. read more

Was sent on a fish sandwich mission and was about to give up and settle for McDonald's. While waiting in the drive thru, I spotted lickety split across the street and look them up. I am so glad I did! Service was prompt, the menu is straight forward, and the restaurant decor is homey and cute! I even got to meet the owners! They have a full bar as well as desserts . Note meals are built meaning they have the main proteins and sides a la carte. I got the 2pc catfish entree to meet the fish sandwich need and the beef brisket for myself, with a side of greens. When I say delicious!! Everything was fresh and good! It is now on my short list for soul food. Free parking is available in the back lot. read more

I would visit this place everytime I go to Atlanta,GA. I went there on July 25, 2026 and for the first time I didn't like my food. The chicken tasted like it was old, not fresh at all. I just got off the plane and I thought I was going to have a great meal. I don't know if it's new management or not . Please do better.. It ruin my day because I was pushing for time to go to a special event. ​ read more

From the time I walked in until I left, the staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was nice. It's very clean and the food was superb!

I will definitely visit Lickety Split again. read more

In town for a weekend visit and was craving glazed salmon. Specifically glazed. Opened Yelp and lickety split popped up. The price, pictures on yelp and location is what heightened my interest. Placed a pick up order over doordash and it was ready on pickup. Location is near the airport. Restaurant has 2 entrances, main entrance is behind building in parking lot.

The food was delicious and service was great. We came from New Jersey and were hoping to find spots for good soul food and Lickety Splits did not miss. Those hoe cakes with the butter, I wish I could pack on the plane back. All the food was great and the interior is clean, well decorated, and just an overall good vibe. I will definitely be back! read more

I had their food via Uber Eats and it didn't disappoint! The smothered pork chops were super flavorful, the mashed potatoes were buttery, and the greens were not overcooked. I also sampled the BBQ beans, the cabbage, Mac n cheese and cornbread dressing. I could have eaten them all. Excellent value for the price--which is low. read more

The location by the airport is very convenient. Staff was very cheerful and more than engaging. We had several dishes including ribs, burgers appetizers. All the Food came out quickly but at the same time. Everything was delicious x 2. We have already gone back for the ribs and will continue. read more

Holy sodium. There's enough salt on these pork chops to put the Dead Sea to shame. The turkey wing is better, but only because it's not preserving me from the inside out. Chops 1/10 - almost inedible Collards 6/10 Mac and cheese 6/10. Kinda dry. Avoid if you like it saucy. Turkey wing 7/10 Now for 2 gallons of water. read more

First off the food is delicious! Parking in the back is super convenient. However, as a first timer, it was a bit confusing. I couldn't tell what the system of service was. Was it a sit down? Do I order and wait for my name or number to be called? People were kind but when I asked if I could sit anywhere, I was told yes and handed a menu. After sitting for a good five minutes with no one coming over to me, I got up and asked the bartender how to order. She took my order and told me she'd bring it to me. While I waited I observed an actual system which would have been nice for someone to explain it to me or have signs with directions. I also didn't appreciate the packaging charge added to my bill. There are no signs informing customers of this. When I questioned it, I was told that since Covid they only use disposable plates and utensils. Covid has been over for years now. The packaging should be a part of doing business and not an additional 10% to the bill. read more

Just tried Lickety Split in Hapeville and overall it was a really good experience. We started with the chicken wings as an appetizer -- they were okay, nothing spectacular, but a solid start. For the main course, my girlfriend had the turkey wing with rice, and she really enjoyed it. She said the seasoning was on point and full of flavor. I ordered the fried shrimp with collard greens and candied yams. The candied yams were definitely a highlight -- sweet, flavorful, and cooked just right. The collard greens, though, didn't taste as fresh as I would've liked -- almost like they may have been canned. The iced tea was really good, and my friend enjoyed her glass of wine. One thing to note: everything is served in styrofoam containers with plastic flatware instead of traditional plates and silverware. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. They do offer a military discount, but it only applies to the individual with the military ID -- not the entire table if you're dining with family or on a date. I appreciate that they acknowledge service members, but it would be nice if the discount extended to the whole party. Overall, it was a great experience with very good service, and I'd probably go back again. If you're in the Hapeville area and craving some soul food, it's worth checking out. read more

We ordered take out, the food is amazingly delicious. The ambiance was on point very laid back and the music set the tone for the vibe which was also amazing. My sister was visiting from Hawaii and she wanted some fresh soul food, and this place came to mind, I'm glad we stopped here, the lady bartender, was so nice. We ordered the Salmon, brisket, baked chicken, and a whole lot of side dish. This place is a go to for fresh soul food. read more

Visited town and decided to give this place a try and very glad we did. Cute but smaller spot with a few tables on one side for regular dining and a full bar and high top tables on the other side. We came in on a Friday evening around 6 and it was busy. You order at the counter and then they call you for your food. Food was delicious. My husband and I tried the fried, smothered pork chops which were super tender and flavorful. Honey lemon pepper wings which were the best wings I've had in a long time. The candied yams and potato salad were also delicious. The bread basket of hoe cakes were yummy and unique. To top it all off, the red velvet cake was out of this world. Definitely tasted like someone's grandmother made it. Highly recommend if in the area. read more

However y'all cooking your salmon...STOP IT!! There is no reason why my grilled salmon should've been harder than my fried Catfish... The sides were good per usual as well as the catfish but that Salmon..fix that ! See you again soon read more

I ordered the ribs with a glaze bbq sauce and an order of fries and my fiance had the Caesar Salad with 2 pieces of fried catfish and I gotta say it was absolutely phenomenal. The service was a friendly humorous atmosphere, the music was a bit distracting only because it was a bit too loud, a little overpowering just because I like to have a conversation with the woman I Love. read more

My husband and I were coming back from the airport and stayed at the Staybridge Suites. The gentleman at the front desk recommended Lickety Split and he knew what he was talking about.

I had so much expectation for this place. It was just okay to me. I got there maybe 30 mins after they were open during the week. I ended up stopping here because it's not that far from the airport. Plenty of parking on the side of the building. I wanted to try the turkey but that was not ready. I ended up trying the smoked salmon and the beef brisket. The smoked salmon was tasty. The beef brisket was tough! The Mac and cheese and dressing were tasty. I waited about 30 mins for my food. That's a long time to me. It was only about 5 other customers there and 4 of them already were eating. So the wait time to get your food is not great especially when your not busy. They also add additional fees to your receipt when you order it to go. The prices are high. I don't mind spending money on good food but I want to at least satisfied after I eat. This was not the case here. I shared it with my husband he did not care for it either. I won't return. read more
