    Customer service really sold the experience for me during a recent visit to Chef G. Garvin's Low Country airport location. I had previously dined at this location do not recall it being a memorable experience. Last week during my airport travels, I decided to give it a second chance. The food appeared to be fresh and all my questions were answered by the attentive staff. I shared that I would come back and when I did, I was greeted warmly. I selected the jumbo shrimp with 2 sides. Sides selected were mac & cheese and black-eyed peas. Shrimp gravy added to mac & cheese at my request. Thoroughly impressed by the seasoning that were prominent throughout, and the adequate portions. The black eyed peas looked equally inviting and I really do enjoy them year-round. As I was selecting my beverage, another worker approached and gave me cutlery wrapped in a napkin. That act was a nice addition to the great service I had already received, and additional confirmation of my correct choice. Meal pricing was comparable to the amount and quality of food I would expect from other restaurants outside of the airport. Shrimp and salmon meals were priced at $21 and included choice of sides. Other options were available for meals, salads and sides. Everything was delicious, and the containers use kept the food nice and warm. I enjoyed my meal at my gate, and was able to finish prior to boarding. Low country is located in Concourse A, near the center in the food court. Definitely returning and happy to add this G. Garvin as my Concourse A go to destination.

    No complaints. On a layover at ATL, needed food. After scoping out a few spots. I decided to try the shrimp and grits platter. Friendly service, quickly. Yes, it was pricey but its airport prices. I think I paid $25 total for a platter and a drink. There could be a larger serving of eggs. But everything was good. I'd totally go back in the future.

    So I am in the Atlanta airport for a 2 hour layover and right at 10:30 am and I see one of my favorite chefs G. Garvin has this low country restaurant. I decided to try them out. First had cafeteria lady aka Madea behind the counter. She was quick to tell me what they ain't got and they about to switch over to lunch. Okay I wanted shrimp and grits, biscuit, and bottled drink $30 which I was okay with since I was at the airport. Grits bland no seasonings shrimp good flavor but swimming in grease and biscuit damn near choked the crap out of me. I was truly disappointed and I don't recommend them at all. Unless they get friendlier staff and fresher flavorful food.

    Fried chicken, green beans, sweet carrots, and the Mac and cheese !!!

    Service was amazing ! The lady at the register helped me quickly and respectfully. She didn't make me feel rushed and she even offered me samples. Once I tasted the Mac and cheese I knew I had to order a plate. It was beyond great. 10/10 ! Find me here again (maybe, soon) :)

    Executive Chef G. Garvin's LowCountry Restaurant in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Terminal A, next to Boar's Head Cafe. Food court setting shared with other restaurants. The food was fast-food style and kept warm via heat lamps or warming table. I asked the cashier which chicken was most popular? She recommended the Rosemary Baked Chicken. Done. I got that along with two sides: cheese grits and mac and cheese. The chicken (thigh and breast) was very flavorful, savory, tender, and juicy. It's a bit salty at times for my taste, but overall, it's pretty good. The mac and cheese was good, but nothing spectacular. The cheese grits with bacon were good, granted I don't have much experience eating it, but cheesy grits were pretty good! Overall 3.5 stars. If ever in Atlanta for an extended stay, I would try his restaurant. But, if you can't like me, I am glad I tried it and would be back. FYI, just recently (like 2 days ago actually), I saw an old episode of DDD, and Guy Fieri was sampling places with Chef Garvin.

    I can't believe it took me so long to eat at Delilah's! I've known of this highly lauded business…read morefor years but never found the right day when I was craving soul food and in the area to order. Until recently. I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

    I was mostly interested because apparently Oprah Winfrey called it the "best Mac and Cheese in the…read morenation". Mine tasted closer to Mac and Egg than it did cheese. Very eggy texture and not much cheese taste. Everything else was nothing to write home about. The fried chicken was good but only like a step above Safeway's fried chicken. I don't even know what to say about the fries and cornbread. Water was like $3. Located in a food court and kinda pricey. Even the parking wasn't free despite having tons of open spots.

While I know many come for the food, I personally make the 25-minute drive for one thing: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Or at least, I used to. Lately, it seems like something has changed in the process. The cheesecake hasn't been setting properly, and the cream cheese isn't fully blended into the sweet potato, leaving noticeable chunks. The flavor, once rich and decadent, has also diminished, making me question if it's still worth the trip. That said, I've heard the rest of the food is still solid, so if you're craving Southern comfort food, it may still be worth checking out.

    Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q…read more Fox Bros. has that hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint feel, but with plenty of space to hang out. There's a bar along with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the overall atmosphere is casual and laid-back. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and gave us some great recommendations, which definitely added to the experience. We went with the three-meat sampler and chose the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, with tots and the Fox-a-Roni for our sides. The Fox-a-Roni--a combination of their Brunswick stew and mac & cheese--was absolutely delicious and easily one of the most memorable sides I've had at a BBQ restaurant. The brisket was honestly some of the best brisket I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and easily my favorite of the three meats. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was also really good, and while the ribs tasted great, ours were pretty small and didn't have a ton of meat on them. My only real complaint was the portioning of the sampler. We were told that as you choose a larger variety of meats, you essentially receive smaller portions of each. I understand the idea of a sampler, but we literally received one slice of brisket and two-three fairly small ribs, so the portion-to-variety concept didn't make a ton of sense to me. I would've preferred slightly more substantial portions, especially considering how good the brisket was! I also ordered a cocktail, but unfortunately it wasn't really for me. It came across very sweet and mostly juice, although I think that may have been more about the particular drink I chose than the bar itself. Overall, the food absolutely delivered. Between the incredible brisket, Fox-a-Roni, friendly service, and laid-back BBQ atmosphere, Fox Bros. was definitely worth the stop. I'd happily come back--I'd just skip the 3 meat sampler next time and order more of that brisket!

Our experience at Virgil's Gullah Kitchen was completely unacceptable from beginning to end. Our waiter disappeared for over 15 minutes after taking our credit card to the register. When he finally returned, he claimed that he had somehow lost our credit card between our table and the register. Let that sink in -- our credit card was in the restaurant's possession, and somehow it disappeared while being handled by our server. To make matters even worse, our check was incorrect, adding another layer of frustration to an already completely unacceptable situation. And then, instead of taking responsibility and resolving the situation appropriately, the waiter had the audacity to give us his personal phone number and tell us to call him to see if he found our credit card. Absolutely not. That is not an appropriate way to handle a customer's financial information or a potentially lost credit card. At that point, the issue was no longer simply poor service, it became a matter of trust, accountability, and basic professionalism. I expect a restaurant to provide good food and service, but above all, I expect my personal property and financial information to be handled responsibly. This experience left me extremely uncomfortable and disappointed. Virgil's Gullah Kitchen needs to seriously address how situations like this are handled and, more importantly, how customer credit cards are being handled by staff! One star is honestly generous. I would not recommend this establishment based on this experience.

I'll keep it simple the food was good, don't get me wrong. But for the price, it just didn't match up. This is one of those places that works if you're trying to impress clients or enjoy the atmosphere. Strip away the location, and the food-to-price ratio probably lands much lower. Just my take. Overall: 4/5 great setting, just comes at a premium.

What made this situation even worse was the way the manager handled it. Instead of showing concern, taking responsibility, or making a genuine effort to help resolve the issue, he was dismissive, spoke to me in an unprofessional manner in front of other customers, and ultimately walked away while I was still trying to discuss what had happened. I understand that mistakes can happen, but losing an item that had already been found and acknowledged by staff is a serious issue. More importantly, the lack of accountability, empathy, and professionalism shown by management was unacceptable. No customer should be treated with disrespect, especially when trying to recover a valuable personal item. I hope the company reviews its lost-and-found procedures and provides better customer service training to its management team. My experience left me feeling frustrated, embarrassed, and completely unsupported.
