    I see why the reviews for this place are so low. For one, the demographic of people I saw patronizing this place was not making sense to me, with the marketing in my head. Now having tasted the food, the very vanilla customers make total sense now. This is not giving soul food. Yes, they have greens and macaroni and smothered turkey legs, but it's all bland and tasteless. I don't think I've ever been anywhere and had fries made fresh that literally taste like nothing. I've never had fries that taste like nothing. I've had salty fries. I've had soggy fries. I've had burnt fries, but I've never had fries that literally had zero taste. They have meal options and that's all you can do. I tried to order fried chicken wings separate from the smothered turkey leg lunch meal with fries. Just for the wings, no sides, $15?! Same price as a meal basically so you're better off getting a meal even if you don't want any of their sides just so you can have the protein. They would not sell me wings alone, like everywhere else, which is weird. I'm extremely disappointed that I even tried this place out for lunch and wasted money. Ordered the turkey leg lunch special. It's $13.98 which is really $14. After tax came up to 15+. When I actually got the turkey leg back to my desk to eat, there was literally no turkey on the leg. It was all bone and skin. I'm extremely upset. I guess all of the meat fell off into the dish, but you can't tell with all the sauce that there's no turkey on the turkey leg. I'm upset about this. Essentially, I ate no lunch because the fries were not good and there was no turkey on the turkey leg and the turkey itself extremely bland. This gives more of a Cracker Barrel, if you know what I mean, than This is It, which I also don't like, but essentially this is what they're going for. This is It 2.0. The two men working in the front seem to turn up the customer service when their manager was around, and it was really annoying. It's ok, you don't have to be overly nice now. The manager offered me a chance to taste the peach cobbler. I told her it no thanks. She insisted. I tried it. It was awful. I could be biased because I do not like or eat peach cobbler but I'm pretty sure if it was good, it would have just been good. Something about the texture was off. All in all, I would say skip this one. Save your money. Countless of other places on Peachtree you could eat.

    Rosemary Chicken and sides
    Daniel G.

    I enjoyed my meal at Peach Cobbler Cafe. I got the 1/4 rosemary chicken and got the mac and cheese and collard greens for my sides. You order at the counter and get your food which was nice and both workers were friendly. It was around $17 which is a little expensive, but not too crazy given the portion. My main critique was really just the chicken being a lot of bone and the food being lukewarm. It all tasted good, but just wish there was more chicken given what was paid. As a whole, it is worth checking out and trying at least once.

    I would recommend you find another location to eat. Ambiance- Nice location. Nice decor, little area to sit and WAIT for your food not to eat. Seating is on the outside. In Ga 100 degree weather I don't Recommened. Service- I want to give the young man at the register a shoutout because he was the ONLY polite person in that restaurant. We waited over 30 min in line behind a total of 7 people. The men who were fixing the food showed you every frustration they had while fixing your food. They kept making plates and pilling them up to the point food got mixed up. Food was everywhere on the line, no cornbread was available in which you suppose to have it with your order. Food- the lemonade was TOO sweet, when I opened the bottle my hands were instantly sticky. (Add water) the rice was under cooked and the macaroni and cheese tasteless. The cornbread crumbled instantly. The peach cobbler was so upsetting and expensive. It was just mush. IF YOU LIKE CRUST IN YOUR COBBLER DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. The turkey leg was actually my favorite. It was very tender and fell off the bone and the mushroom gravy on top added enough salt.

    This is supposed to be the cornbread!

    The first gentleman who helped me was great although he hardly put any gravy over my turkey wing and rice. The turkey wing did not have any flavor. When he proceeded to check me out another guy said... I got it. I had to stand waiting for 3-4 minutes for him because he went to prepare someone else food...walked away from me... but the first person was ready to check me out. I asked the second guy if they have cornbread which is supposed to come with the meal, he preceded to say let me check. He grabbed a piece of cornbread (cardboard) and TOSSED it in my bag. I see why. The cornbread was thin as a piece of cardboard. I drove over an hour. I now know this restaurant food is a hit or miss.

    Holy moley! This little hole in the wall is NO JOKE!!!! In short, it slappps!!! This is located right in the same plaza as my waxing place so I was like, "Hey, i've seen this place here for 2+ years.. let me just see what the fuss is about" BEST decision ever! Walking in, you'll need to get in line, think.. Chipotle style. No seating and there are some "ready" food items, like ribs, ox tail and the "to order" items like fried fish. I order the "ready" items but seems like the "to order" items did not take long as well. SERVICE:: there was a very nice man taking our order by the front of the line, super nice staff, cashier was super nice too. just be sure to check your bag prior to leaving so you can make sure you get all your items because they are so busy in there FOOD:: Ox Tail - massive portion, over a bed of rice, which they didnt mention on the menu! flavor was so rich and decedant. Must order!! Ribs - not the most tender i've ever had however the bbq sauce flavor is so finger licking good and was priced fairly. Broc. Chedder Side- so cheesy, so yummy. Doesnt taste fake or processed!! Mac & Cheese - YUMMY!! good quality i loved it! Corn bread- dusted with sugar, super tasty Overall, SOUL Food is so comforting and im obsessed!!!!!!

    Fried Chicken with collards and cabbage
    Nikki N.

    After living in Buckhead, thought I'd give this neighborhood restaurant a try. It was rated #7 for top 10 best souls food places to try so here we are on a Monday afternoon. It's not a sit down kind of place but they do have a couple of tables outside. You order and then wait for your meal to be packaged up in containers. It is super pricey for soul food but I will say they do overfill the containers with a lot of food. So I ordered three meals. One oxtail and brown gravy served over rice and had Mac and cheese and green beans. Then two fried chicken meals with Mac and cheese and sweet corn on one order and collard greens and cabbage on the other. The collard greens were SUPER salty that I could not eat more than a couple of bites but the cabbage and Mac and cheese were pretty good. You could definitely taste the butter in the veggies. I was a little confused between the fried chicken meal and the full 3 piece wing meal. I felt like we got the wings rather than actual fried chicken (breasts, drums and thighs). I was hoping to get some decent juicy fried chicken but the one thigh was greasy and and the wings were flavorless and dry. I did like that the chicken did not have a ton of breading on it. We ordered a lemonade jug and it was good and very sweet. I had to dilute it but it was good as a cocktail later that evening. The corn bread was okay and had sugar on it. I won't be giving this place another try. They had a decent crowd, lots of pick up orders. It was either super salty or not flavorful. I know everyone's palate is different but for me, I didn't have that "wow, this was really a yummy meal" satisfaction unfortunately. It was a lot of food for the money and we threw more than half of it away. These three meals plus a half gallon of lemonade was $90 and was not worth the price. I could have split a nice steak meal for this price and it would have been delicious and I would have felt like I got my moneys worth but not here.

    To Go Box
    Sally S.

    I was looking forward to some good southern home cooking and I was a little disappointed. I was first shocked to find out that you can't really dine in. They do have a few outside tables but I haven't used them. To the food. Not bad but not great either. They use some strange flavoring in all of their food. So you can't escape the taste in their sides and main dishes. I had the oxtails which was a good portion but very expensive. One smothered turkey wing, two sides and corn bread is $22.09. Oxtail dinner, two sides and cornbread is $37.69. Three veggie plate with cornbread is $15.59. More sides are al la carte $7.79 each. A slice of sweet potato pie is $10.39 and I think very average to puny in size. You can purchase a whole sweet potato pie for $37. 69. The interior is bright and the line looks clean enough. Even though there was a head chef on site, the two pork chops in the pan looked burnt, dried out, and IMHO should have been taken off the line. I'll take Piccadilly anytime for a place to sit down, enjoy some southern goodies and have dessert for a fraction of the cost. Save your money, go to Mary Macs or any other place advertising southern vittles. No reason to go back.

    Rib tips were too tough
    Christina E.

    I'm disappointed in the food that i ordered online and picked up. I got the fried fish plate and regular rib tips. The rib tips were tough, like they were old or had been sitting in heat all day. I asked for Mac and cheese but got dressing and I don't eat dressing. The fish wasn't good either. They gave no bread and no Tarter sauce as requested. The Mac and cheese was too wet, soupy like...as if maybe they took it out the oven too early. If this was a dine in restaurant, this food would have been going back! I won't be back.

    View the pictures. They speak more words than I could ever. I typically come for the Peach Cobbler, my favorite dessert, but do get the dinners at times.

    Smothered Turkey Wing Dinner Mac N Cheese Yams Green Beans N Potatoes
    Ambe C.

    You've heard the radio commercials and probably driven by and saw the line through the shopping center. Well, I FINALLY tried @peachcobblercafe today. I was craving some yams....soul food style. And well, @peachcobblercafe is the only soul food restaurant in my area so... perfect time to try them out. I got there about 5 mins before a rush came in. The employees were very pleasant and seemed to have a decent process of getting orders. The prices are double what you'll probably pay in a different neighborhood but, that didn't deter me from ordering a few items. I went with the smothered turkey wing. That was served over rice and for my sides I ordered yams, Mac and cheese and, green beans. The entree came with a cornbread muffin but y'all KNOW I had to try the peach cobbler. I'll say this...it was worth EVERY penny! @peachcobblercafe is legit!! Y'all, they gave MY beloved smothered turkey wings some competition! Everything was delicious. Most of all, the the crust, peach ratio was perfect!!!! I'll DEFINITELY be back!!! Next time Im trying the oxtails or catfish

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!

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.

Also, RC is amazing. Really good guy, and his team offer the best service as well. A job well done, always.

    I tried RC's today with my parents. We spoke to the owners, a lovely family. Some of the food is…read moreserved buffet style and the rest comes from the back kitchen. I tried so many things. My recommendation would be the baked chicken, cabbage, yams, and sweet potato pie. The ice tea is a must have. Kool aid and coke products are also available. The parking lot is large. So parking won't be a problem. But the inside is small so you will probably want to take the food to go. The menu changes from the week to the weekend with Sunday being soul food day. I will be back to try jerk turkey and meatloaf. Maybe next Sunday.

    A friend recommended I checked this place out. The ambiance…read morewas welcoming and fun. And we all enjoyed the food and the regional selections. They even had a band playing which was fun and unexpected. We also loved our moonshine drinks and the specialty margarita. The service was outstanding and the bathrooms were clean, which is always important. Would love to visit this place again!

    Pro tip: Sort the reviews by newest. There's a pattern... and it exists for a reason…read more I was really jonesing for some Southern food, and this was the only place close to my downtown hotel that was still open at 9pm. I sat down at the bar at 9:04pm, and placed my order for the seafood gumbo, highly recommended by the hostess (who had the personality of a bumper sticker). I looked around the place. The live band was decent. Not terrible, but definitely not good enough for me to watch. Then I waited. And waited. Thankfully, I was able to doom scroll TikTok, because my food didn't arrive till 9:52pm- the place closes at 10pm! There were 4 customers at the bar (which seats 10), and one of the other patrons sitting near me clearly was annoyed that his take-out order was taking just as long. Do yourself a favor. Do NOT come here. The food itself tasted like microwaved leftovers, and was less than luke warm..... like my son's diaper 12 minutes after he pee'd in it. The bartender was nice, but even she apologized for the long wait. Yeah.... don't do it. Stay in your hotel with Lunchables and root beer.

    It's been a minute since I been to this location. I came here first awhile back and then I been to…read morethe Duluth or Lawrenceville location that is in a strip of stores. The food was delicious at that location also. The cashier customer service here at this location is wonderful. Very thorough taking care of the customer order. I was asked did I want the gravy definitely on the dressing and the turkey wings.. The turkey wings come on a bed of rice with the choice of 2 sides dressing and Mac and cheese also the cashier asked did I want the cranberry sauce of course. I I also got the lemonade mixed with the peach punch.. Delicious food from a great place easy to get in and out the parking lot. I went here on 5/20/2025

I stopped nearby for something else, got a recommendation from a local, and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The building has great curb appeal--fresh paint, clean signage, and a tidy appearance that pulls you in. Inside, it's a casual, counter-service setup with a clean, open dining room and a few booths around the edge. The vibe is informal and welcoming. The food is served cafeteria-style: you pick your meat and sides, and they plate it for you. While the default seems to be takeout, you're welcome to sit and eat there. I went with the baked chicken, which comes with rice and gravy and includes two sides. I picked cabbage and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was exactly what you'd hope for--cheesy, creamy, smooth, and flavorful with satisfying cheese pulls in every bite. The cabbage was cooked just right--tender but not mushy--with great seasoning. The rice and gravy had deep, balanced flavor without being too salty or heavy. In fact, nothing was oversalted, which is a rare and welcome surprise in a small spot like this. The meal also came with a small cornbread muffin that hit the spot. Dessert options included hot cobblers like apple and peach, along with a tempting variety of cake slices--all of which looked fantastic.
