    4pc chicken wings with mashed potatoes and gravy and mac and cheese
    Jessye D.

    2nd time visit. Friday morning around noon. Located in a plaza. Valet parking. We paid $5. If you have a handicap sticker you can park at the front yourself- avoiding valet. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, blacken salmon with rice and gravy and brussel sprouts, another blackened salmon with fries and brussel sprouts, fried chicken wings with mashed potatoes and gravy and mac and cheese, and fried shrimp with fries and brissel sprouts. Pros We had a party of 8 but they allowed us to split into two tables next to each other with two different servers. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating and well as the servers. However, I did have to tell a server to get our server at one point. Cons The fried green tomatoes are good but the breading is falling apart. My rice and gravy originally came with a hair in it. They replaced it no questions asked. They do not split checks with parties of 6 or more. Not good for big parties. Would I Recommend: Yes. This is a great spot to visit with your family to get some soul food. No loud music, no vulgar language, no hookah, no inappropriate uniforms, just good food and OG Atlanta vibes.

    Came here when they opened on a Friday. I believe our servers name is Carly, and she was the best! Very attentive and funny as hell too. We all pretty much ordered the 4 piece wing with sides: Brussels (per Carly's recommendation), Mac, and I added a side of yams. The food was really good. I noticed that my wings were significantly smaller than my mom and sisters, but we shared so it's ok. My dad loved his and my brother got the pasta which he liked also. I always love to look around at the photos to see what's new here. I love the quiet music and history.

    Every time I pass through the Atlanta airport, Paschal's is an absolute must-stop for me. The food is consistently outstanding--full of flavor, comforting, and truly satisfying every single time. On this visit, I enjoyed baked chicken, mac and cheese, and greens, all perfectly seasoned and delicious. I even placed a second order to take home--baked chicken with rice, green beans, and a piece of catfish à la carte--because it's just that good! What made the experience even more special was the exceptional service. Tasha went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and her warm, attentive attitude truly stood out. A fantastic experience all around--great food, great service, and a guaranteed stop every time I travel through Atlanta. Happy customer--thanks again, Tasha!

    Airport Location: It's been a minute since I last visited Paschal's at Atlanta Airport, and honestly, my previous experience wasn't my favorite. I'm happy to say they totally redeemed themselves this time! The airport was its usual busy self, but the staff handled it like pros.. friendly, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere is just family, travelers and more. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious.. perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. You can tell they really stepped up their game. Definitely a good comeback from my last visit. If you're passing through ATL and want a solid meal without the airport chaos affecting your experience, Pascal's is worth it.

    Overall, I was really happy with my experience here... I've only been to the one in the airport... But this was really good. We were able to get sat right away. No reservation was needed on the night that I went. I'm not sure if they do reservations typically... Very casual setting full bar and a few few TVs on the wall... I can't remember my server's name, but she was so nice and so sweet and so accommodating and so I felt like the service was really good. It did take a little long for her to greet us, but I think that she was just. Dealing with another table so I won't hold it against her. The only reason why this isn't getting five stars for me is because my friend ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese and his mashed potatoes came out cold. His mac & cheese portion was significantly less than mine and his cornbread muffin was also not the correct portion... Meaning it didn't even feel the cupcake paper wrapper it was so small. It didn't even fill that out and those to me are just small low hanging fruit where the person in the kitchen should've caught that and never served it. my friend was asking why he got less mac & cheese and why his cornbread looked like that... as a person who used to work in the restaurant industry. My first thought was if they're using the same spoon or serving utensil, he should've gotten around the same amount, but it was significantly less in his bowl and the cornbread muffin that he received should've never been served. It should've been thrown out... And he should've gotten a regular size cornbread muffin. I ordered the catfish plate with mac & cheese and yams and I added a side of greens... And my greens also came out cold... So these are the reason I couldn't give it 5 stars... but the taste of the food was amazing... If you've made it this far in my review, trust me when I say the taste of everything was on point so I can't wait to go back and eat there again!

    I don't enjoy leaving reviews for Black-owned businesses that are less than three stars, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. We visited on Sunday to celebrate my 83-year-old aunt's birthday with a group of about 12 people. We understood that we were a large party, but we expected that there might be additional support to accommodate us. Our food took well over an hour closer to an hour and a half to arrive. When it finally did, it was not hot and was not reflective of the quality and consistency that Paschal's is known for. As longtime supporters, this was especially disheartening. While I could see that our server worked very hard, the overall experience was still less than memorable. Paschal's is a staple in the community, and I've had wonderful service there in the past, which is why I know they are capable of doing better. I truly hope this feedback is received in the spirit intended to see them continue to improve and uphold the standard they are known for.

    Saturday afternoon

    Walked in here on a Saturday afternoon. My ride share driver said this place was good so I decided to try it myself. The restaurant is historic. I was warmly greeted by the receptionist and advised that they did not accept cash at that time. The restaurant is huge and has a second floor. It was a little loud for me at that time; some were celebrating birthday on the upper floor. I was surprised because a robot brought one of my orders. It was cool but at the same time, the gumbo had spilled off the bowl and onto the saucer. My server Danielle was nice and also working the bar so I understood that service could be slow. The gumbo came in a small cup and was alright. It was not spicy for me. Got the 2-piece 1947 Paschal's fried chicken that came with two sides. I picked Southern mac & cheese and candied yam. Overall, the food was alright, nothing special. The overall value did not align with the price.

    Stopped by Paschal's in Atlanta and kept it simple. Went with the grilled catfish filet and it was solid well seasoned, grilled just right, and not overdone. Everything tasted like real home Southern cooking. Nothing fancy, just good food done right.

    Hands down the best soul food I've ever had. I'm here every single time I visit Atlanta. The fried chicken, greens, and mac and cheese is literally chefs kiss. Everything on their menu is amazing, but those are my absolute favorite. The peach cobbler is really good too and I don't like it anywhere else. The space is huge with seating available on two levels. The parking lot I believe you have to pay, but there's ample street parking. The service has only ever been phenomenal, they're polite and fast. This place is historic with so much history and they have photos commemorating it along the wall near the entrance if you're interested in learning about their role during the civil rights movement.

    I love the history of the place and location. While not a reflection of our waiter but for the entire team. Our server was also the bartender across the restaurant. So our service was slow and had to flag others around us for our items (water, silverware, taking an order). As a team, the bartender shouldn't be serving tables especially with a dinner rush. The food came out quick and the chicken was well seasoned. The robots delivering the food was new for me to see. And glad they did or who knows how long it would've taken

    Anytime I'm in Atlanta I have to stop here or catch them in Concourse B at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. We'll, this time I did both! I started at the restaurant for lunch with friends and family. Jada was our waitress and had a fun vibrant personality! Right off the bat I felt comfortable. My order was 4 fried chicken wings, greens and mac n cheese. To wash all that goodness down I had a sweet tea that was sweet! It was a Monday afternoon so the vibe was very chill. Not many people inside so our order did not take long to come out. We were all satisfied. Per usual, I needed a container to go; we all did! I did manage to finish my mac n cheese. I knew I would finish the rest of my food on the plane back to CA. I did say I stopped at both locations. Just like the restaurant the airport location is just as delicious. With no more mac n cheese I orders rice and gravy to go with the rest of my food. Couldn't wait to finish it all. Unfortunately, I fell asleep and had to finish it the next day. Heated everything in the air fryer and it was even better. This place is a staple in the Atlanta community. If ever in town you should definitely stop by. The picturea of MLK, Jr and others causes you to pause and think back to when times were harder than they are now. Black men and black women stood together to overcome injustices that were out upon us. I will always visit whenever I'm in Atlanta!

    The restaurant serves classic soul food, including fried chicken, collard greens, candied yams, and peach cobbler. The restaurant became a meeting place for civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King, Jr.

    My husband and I was visiting for 24hrs and wanted to eat somewhere that had black history. I found a list of restaurants on google and this one stood out to me. I'm a huge Martin Luther King fan and this restaurant is where he held Civil Rights Meetings. Anyways let's get into this food. Everything was amazing. Like point period. So much flavor...I want more just typing it right now . The service & music was great. I highly recommend coming here.

    Are reservations required on a Sunday evening or do they also accept walk-ins?

    Reservations aren't required but if you can make a reservation your future self will never regret it because what's the worst that can happen...I'll tell you, not making a reservation and then having to wait hours!!!

    Is there a cost for parking?

    No cost. They do have valet, so a few bucks for the parking attendant would be good.

The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked or rubbery. The grits were smooth. The gravy was well seasoned, but not overly salty or rich. The cornbread and bread or biscuit was good, but not extraordinary. Those were quite dense and heavy paired with the other food. I loved the banana pudding. This meal jumpstarted my banana pudding hyper fixation. Very fragrant and not too thick yet still nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy either. It was a good dessert to round out the meal. I hope to come here again and have an actual sit down experience. Curious to see the ambiance!

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.

It cured our souls. We asked the generous, wonderful lady at the counter about the story of Delilah's: was she a real person, who is she, etc. her answers made us fall in love even more... this is a genuine, family-owned and operated enterprise! We love, love, loved our food and I can't wait to go back and soport again!!! You gotta try it.

Couldn't have been happier with our choice. Reviews I'd seen online mentioned parking is a bit limited and that the restaurant is frequently busy. So we were prepared for that even though we were going on a Thursday mid morning. I think there was an influx of people celebrating graduations because it was in fact very busy. However we got very lucky with parking and happened to come in right as someone was leaving. I was sure we would have a wait for a table, which of course would have been fine, but actually we were seated immediately! Which was super nice and unexpected. The atmosphere is bustling but not in a bad way. The restaurant itself is adorable and has a lot of character. It feels like you're having breakfast at an old friend's house. The service was great and our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. I ordered a specialty coffee, I believe it was the almond joy cold brew, and it was delicious. Strong, which is how I like it and not overly sweet. I ordered the chicken biscuit on the waiter's recommendation and it was absolutely the best fried chicken I've ever had. Juicy and crispy. My husband ordered the pimento cheese omelette and was very happy with it, the bacon was thick cut and smoky and flavorful. The pimento cheese grits that came on the side for me were also a stand out, such great flavor. The biscuits are fantastic and the blueberry basil jam that came with my husband's meal was such a nice touch. We will absolutely make a point to come back to Buttermilk Kitchen next time we visit the Atlanta area.

First things first: the Chicken Biscuit. Buttermilk Kitchen's biscuit is on the crunchy, honey-flavored side. I personally prefer fluffier, more buttery biscuits, so this one wasn't my favorite. That aside, the chicken was crispy and well-seasoned and paired well with the cheese grits. If you ever wanted a dry, crunchy version of Homegrown's Comfy Chicken Biscuit, come give this a shot. I also tried the Hash Bowl, which was a bit underwhelming. It was a *lot* of potatoes compared to the eggs and bacon bits, and there wasn't a lot of seasoning other than the bacon. Would rather recommend one of the other options if you end up visiting. The drinks are good as well, would recommend the matcha latte (not too sweet!) and the French Press coffee.

The chicken was alright, but I wouldn't say it was the best I ever had, let alone consider it the world's best. This joint is located in the lower hub, but I believe there's also an outside street entrance. Upon entering, we were told to sit anywhere. The interior is rather dim, and it wasn't super clean as there were still some crumbs on our table from the last people who dined there. There is also a very casual feel to the place, exemplified by the fact that food is served on styrofoam plates and paper trays. FOOD: 2-Piece Dark (Thigh & Leg) (4/5) - Chicken was nice and crispy, but nothing crazy special to me. I was expecting it to be spicier. Liked it more with the Louisiana hot sauce on the table. The chicken rests on a slab of white bread and is served with average slaw and sweet baked beans. Fried Okra (3.5/5) - First time having fried okra. Not bad, and I guess frying it eliminates the slimy texture associated with okra. SERVICE: I am not usually one to complain about service. The person who served us was sweet when we did interact, but it was so hard to get their attention to order and get the bill. But beyond that, the kitchen was noticeably SLOW. My brother and I literally only ordered one plate/portion to share since we wanted to try more places, but it took over half an hour to receive our food. They do emphasize that food is cooked to order, but I still found the wait to be baffling. TLDR// Come here or don't, but if you do, make sure you are not on a time crunch. Maybe I am just being harsh because I was expecting more from a place claiming to have the world's best.
