    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.

    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.

    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.

    If you're looking for a place that is going to serve you food that is nearly identical to Italian…read moresub and pizza (maybe even better) then THIS IS THE PLACE. Mind you, I recently came back from Italy just a few months ago and I absolutely loved my Italian panini. This place is VERY flavorful and has plenty of options that your taste buds will appreciate! They serve also serve pizzas, pastries and gelato which really brings you the full experience of an Italian shop.

The Panini bread with some of the best I've had in a long time... soft, yet crispy-ish on the outside. Everything about the sandwich was fantastic with one exception: there was a slightly fishy taste on some bites. Needless to say, with the only ingredients being fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, prosciutto, and arugula, not sure where the fishy taste came from. The shop is average looking. I did not eat the gelato, but it looked very good. Service was efficient, but not overly friendly or personable. Person at the counter was more of an order taker, but there were no social greetings exchanged. The bread was so good that I would definitely go back if I had a craving for an Italian sandwich.

In my head, I had pegged this place as too expensive for what it is; however, I felt that the prices were quite fair. Sure, paying $13 for this sandwich is expensive when compared to a subway sandwich, but it's all about the quality. I feel like at Star Provisions you can get quality, tasty food for not too bad of a price tag. The sandwich comes with either chips or fruit! Plenty of free parking in the lot.

I learned recently that Henri's is quite an Atlanta institution, and has been around for a loooong time. But I understand why. The service is great, regardless of location. The baristas actually like to talk to you even during the morning hustle. They are well-staffed and you can tell their employees like working there. Sharon is awesome, and the guy who mans the sandwich station is REALLY good at his job. The inside is kept clean, and it's a really calming environment for a coffee shop. Whoever designed their cafes did a great job, as the theme is consistent in their sister locations. I really have no complaints about the food. The meat is fresh. The bread is fresh. They make many of their bakery items at an HQ and locally distribute them to their sister locations. The pastry section is well-appointed and the display makes them very tempting. The Reuben with pastrami is *CHEF'S KISS*. Just make sure you get it on a more durable bread, because the sauce can get a little messy and make the sandwich soggy. I'm sad to report that they do not serve matcha here yet. But the chai latte and standard latte was delicious with a nice, thick layer of foam on top. They even have sugar-free syrup options for people looking to curb the sugar. They do have high-chairs for the babies. Love this place. They just do it right.
