To-go container mac and cheese
Michelle L.

Best Mac & Cheese ever. I like to consider myself a mac & cheese connoisseur of sorts. Most mac & cheese is typically gooey and cheesy but not anything truly exemplary. However, this mac & cheese is truly phenomenal. I have had a lot of mac & cheese in my life and genuinely, nothing compares to Ok Cafe's mac & cheese. Incredible cheesy perfection. When dining in I'll usually get their thanksgiving plate with turkey/sweet potato. I like that their turkey isn't dry... I also love how they consider mac & cheese a "vegetable" on their menu. Their cornbread is also good (your classic crumbly cornbread). Grilled cheese is also solid. Honestly, haven't had anything here that I wouldn't mind ordering again. Such a homey spot and always consistent food and good service. I cannot stress how delicious their mac & cheese is. One of my favorite meals ever.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was crowded but we managed to get seated right away. The place remained me of an old school diner. Our waitress was awesome and gave us recommendations and kept our drinks full. From the time we ordered to the time our food showed up was less than ten minutes. The food was great and the portion size was large. Overall it was a good experience but next time I'll order from the takeaway side. The takeaway side has items I like that's not on the menu. For example, fried okra.

Mary Mac's Tea Room, Bones, the Varsity, OK Cafe. If you are from Atlanta you know these icons. OK Cafe is one of those Atlanta institutions that, when you hear the name, you know EXACTLY where you are. In the heart of the ritzy West Paces Ferry area of Atlanta/ Buckhead, just off I-75 South. I have been coming here for 39 years since the beginning when visiting my Aunt and Uncle off of West Paces Ferry. This is the quintessential diner/family spot with lots of comfort food options. My go to for dinner is usually pot roast or a burger. But we came for breakfast and they do breakfast RIGHT! Come hungry whenever you come! I had an omelette with potatoes and a biscuit and a short stack of griddle cakes. The griddle cakes were bigger than I've seen in most places. Fluffy and perfect! Our service has always been excellent, quick and efficient. The place is spotless! (Most recent score 100!) Lots of table sizes and great for large parties from what I could see. You will find some beautiful folk art and other pieces all over the walls. My favorite is the one I snapped below. Really cool textured painting of Atlanta showing the most identifiable spots in Atlanta. I cannot express enough how much I enjoy this place every time we come here. The food is always perfect and the service and decor are memorable. You must add this place if you ever visit Atlanta! It IS Atlanta.

Admittedly I don't get the hype. Old cafe with simple food. Stopped in briefly and tried tenders, fries, jalapeños fried cheese, and more. Lots of unrecognizable sauces etc. Didn't try them but they do serve mimosas at least. Three stars for lovely server and clean bathroom.

Strawberry shortcake

Finally made it to Ok Cafe which was amazing!! We came here after seeing a movie on a Saturday night and it was PACKED. We had to wait about 20-30 minutes for a table for 3. Once seated I got the house made cherry cola and omg it was stunning. You could tell it was homemade with the red tint and it was crisp and refreshing. For my meal I got the fried chicken with Mac and cheese and green beans it was so yummy. Delicious southern cooking in a charming restaurant. My only complaint was I wished the green beans were seasoned more. We split the strawberry shortcake for dessert and it was light and delicious. Yummy!

My luncheon companion and I went to OK CAFE, a place I havent been to in a long time. It had a massive fire a few years back and had been rebuilt. WOWZA!!! It is now way larger than before but still has ample parking. We entered through the backdoor through their newly added cafeteria style to go room. There in addition to refrigerated cases, they had almost the whole lunch menu laid out. I saw what I ultimately ordered and it all looked fresh and yummy. The wait staff hustled with purpose and efficiency. The restaurant has a new room whose central theme is a huge tree coming up from the floor with money attached to all branches like leaves. They clearly wanted a dramatic focal point and they hit the mark. Their expanded curving lunch bar accommodates a lot of folks comfortably. The prices were mid range and the portions more than ample. Anytime of day oe night, OK is the OK place to get a fix for superb southern style home cooking.

We had an OK time here! Arrived when there was almost no wait, but the process of putting yourself on their seating list was a little odd, since there were tons of people crowding around the sign in sheet to pay their bill. Once seated, the service was pretty good and the food was nicely prepared and offered in large portions. I would go back!

This place is always busy!! Great food and service each and every time. I did realize this time that there is a bathroom in the back as well as the front.

This place has been open for years and the food still delicious. Great place for comfort southern food . I had the meatloaf this time and it was juicy and full of flavor . Highly recommend for comfort southern food!

Country Fried Steak. Triple Cheese Macaroni. Collard Greens.
Charlotte G.

OK Cafe is so cute! The interior is in a retro 50's style with cute booths and servers in old timey waitress and waiter clothes. The food is classic southern cooking. I had the country fried steak with Mac and cheese and collard greens. All were very tasty. The cornbread was very moist and delicious too. There is ample space inside and they have in big letters on the wall that you'll never have more than a 10 minute wait to be seated, which I found to be true even though I was there on a weekend. Next time in the Atlanta area, I'll definitely stop by again.

Great food, great service, and cool 80s ambiance. I'd call it an Atlante Diner institution. Will definitely come back and recommend it.

We had a wonderful experience at Poach Social! I had to change plans last minute for a loved one's…read morebirthday celebration, and when I called two days before I needed a reservation, the staff was so kind and accommodating! We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

They remade it in record time, but unfortunately, without a balance of spinach and no onions. Egg portion of the omelette was light and fluffy.

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here. Only comment is that the tables are pub or cafe style and best for small groups or just takeover a section like we did. Enjoy!
