Great food! Pricey and they are shady on your form of payment! It was $19.05 for two small pieces of fried chicken and two sides. They also don't tell you that they charge you more if you use a credit card.
Visited this place for the first time a few days ago. I went to the UPS store in the plaza and saw people eating outside of the restaurant, so I decided to check it out. It looked nice. When I walked in, I was greeted right away. I was the only one inside. The person who took my order was really kind and friendly, and she explained how the menu works and the pricing. I ordered the rib bites, macaroni, yams, and a peach cobbler. I spent about $33, not including tip. I was so disappointed The rib bites were extremely tough, and the macaroni and yams were okay, but definitely not soul food. The juice was good though, I got some type of mango juice. Overall, bad first impression. I only tried it because I was in the area, but maybe if I go back another time and try something else, it'll be better.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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.
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.
IKYFL! I ordered a two piece whiting dinner on uber eats and this is what yall sent! Really!? This hard, stale, thin fish! Wow. Unbelievable
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.
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.

I'm sorry but this is a bait and switch and a pricey one at that. The commercials reel you in...someone's granny talking about food and you just KNOW it's going to be good right? WRONG.... 1st off almost $40 for a 3 piece fried chicken meal with 2 sides, a banana pudding and a 1/2 gallon of weak KoolAid is too much. I opted for the fried chicken because nothing, and I mean NOTHING that they had in Gravy looked appealing. The chicken was ok..just barely seasoned..the Mac n Cheese and greens were decent but just decent? Like you have someone's GRANNY talking big so you expect to be wowed..nope. But isn't that the point...for people who have never come, to come and spend $$...good, bad or mediocre the establishment wins. It may be the only soul food restaurant in Buckhead but the food overall needs some work. I can't see myself going back for mediocre food. read more

So after seeing so many negative reviews I decided to give this place a chance anyway. Plus I happen to drive right by it so why not. The first thing I noticed was the prices ((WHOA!!)) super expensive!! I almost walked out after asking how much a side of green beans were ((A whopping $5.99)) yea you read that right! All extra sides are overpriced! So we ended up ordering the 3 piece chicken dinner which comes with 2 sides and the Fried Catfish dinner with 2 sides; plus two bottled sodas (($2.99 each)). Our total was a little over (($50.00)) so I really didn't know if we were paying for the food or the location! Geesh!! Although the food was pricey, it was actually ok other than my chicken breast being fried a bit too hard and the catfish was a tad bit too salty/spicy for my daughter. Those $5.99 sides were good though!! There was no seating inside but a couple of tables outside. We might visit again when our pockets are deeper! Because everybody ain't able LOL!! read more

Very VERY pleased. I was in town for work, and I asked some of the locals where could I get some good peach cobbler. One woman gave this establishment high praise. So I went there to get a pan of cobbler before I went to the airport. The establishment is extremely clean and welcoming. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. I told them I was from out of town and wanted to take some cobbler home for my mom. (Mom absolutely loved it by the way!) They wasted no time wrapping and boxing up more than I expected. I wish more establishments were this welcoming and professional. If I could give them 10 stars and a thank you I definitely would. Keep up the excellent work read more

I had one slice of meatloaf, butter beans, macaroni and a small peach cobbler. It was really good like Piccadillys... but the price was $29.74! No cornbread or roll. If I had to spend that much again I would have to be able to dine in and receive unlimited tea refills! read more

This place is not good. Let's start with the food being significantly overpriced for a carry out. Definitely wants to be a Buckhead version of This Is It. I was always hesitant to try because $28 oxtails need some kind of guarantee! Unfortunately, they were fatty and chewy with an odd flavor. The sides that are on the menu are not available on the actual line when you get there. The rib tips looks more like pulled meat. Lastly, the brisket that is advertised on website is not what I received it was more like a beef roast. The fried corn is done from frozen not fresh, the collards are very sweet. The only good item on the menu would be the fried pork chops, yams and Mac and cheese. Oh, and the only cobbler available is peach and for it to be the "namesake" it's definitely lacking. See the pictures attached. I would never recommend this spot to any of my neighbors. I've eaten better at an APS cafeteria. read more

We're in the hospital up the street for a while, so a deal on food is always appreciated. I ordered through Uber Eats and picked it up to save on the outrageous "other fees" for delivery - we got the bogo shrimp dinner. Although we didn't get any cocktail or tartar sauce, the food was delicious - yet definitely spicy. They're actual prices aren't the same as in the app. The peach cobbler is in small containers - not worth the bogo price of $11.99 for 1 but 2 comes out to be cheaper than in-store price of $8.99. The cornbread has SUGAR on top - delicious! We'll definitely be trying them again. read more
I decided to try this restaurant after hearing a commercial on the radio, plus it is on my area of town. I would give it a high rating since the food is good, but cannot because of the staff and how chaotic they were behind the counter. It took way too long to order and pay considering there was 4 employees back there plus they are putting it in the to go container in front of me. It seemed like several did not know what they were doing and/or only did certain things. They were nice but the chaos behind the counter caused what should of been a 5 minute stop for takeout to last over 10 minutes! Also, a random man went back there in street clothes and lots of jewelry with no gloves. He just stood there for while but still! The food is good, but pricing for individual sides and desserts are a bit high. The overall food cost was acceptable, but $6 for what they say is an 8oz individual side is too much. Especially when the side was not even near full. I also think the cobbler is good, but not $9 good. I'll think about giving this place another try when they work out the kinks. I am not sure when they opened, but I hope they get things together soon! read more

3 stars why it's Black Owned and I like to support local business. Was looking for soul food on last day in Atlanta. Stood in line over a hour , finally makes it in door. And it was huge menu on the wall lite up with options. But people continued to reach plexiglass undecided. That made the wait even longer . Several people were preparing plates , but it still took forever. I ordered 1 fried pork chop collard greens and dressing . Pork was good , but greens tasted bland no pork or turkey flavor and dressing basic and dry .I ordered peach cobbler but tossed it in trash not sure how it tasted , but it wasn't appealing it looked wet. Disappointed with my meal, but I'm not a local they love this place I guess because the line is out the door for being good or it's not organized to get plates out in a timely manner,but this is not soul food , but can goods warmed up. read more

Disappointed. Incredibly overpriced and mediocre quality. We got fish, Mac and cheese, and blueberry and peach cobblers. Just okay...Mac was runny. Peaches tasted canned. It appears the prices may have increased, as menu pictures from a month ago are different. Also, they charge a fee for using debit/credit cards but do not disclose the info. We will not be back. read more

I've had this place several times and overall it's my go to for soul food. Every time I go inside to order or need to call, the service is great, everyone is polite. Ordering on Uber/DoorDash can be a hit or miss. Smothered turkey wings: 8/10 - really good flavor but one was burnt :( however worth the price because the portion is great! Smothered pork chops: ordered inside 10/10 - fresh! Ordered on Uber 3/10 - soaking in juice (not smothered at all) Whole wing dinner: 10/10 great seasoning, portion is great Sides that were good: Greens, cabbage, Mac & cheese, potato salad Yams: can be really sweet Cornbread: hit or miss.... Mostly dry Peach cobbler: hit or miss... can be really good or burnt read more

I had no idea this place existed until an invitation from a friend. At first, I was skeptical after reading some reviews online about food and services. Curious because of the name, I went with it anyway. I went on a Wednesday around 6:30 and there wasn't too many people inside. The set up is that food is already prepped and the staff fix the plate from behind the counter. Not too bad since everyone was masked up with gloves. I will say that they could work on their customer service a little bit. They have their prices on a huge poster wall as you walk in which was good for me to see how expensive they are. Honestly, if I was paying the tab, I probably would have opted for a different location. Prices are high not to have dine in options. We ordered ribs and turkey wing dinners which comes with 2 sides. We also ordered some of the cobbler. We wanted strawberry but they were out. We opted for the blackberry instead. After placing your order, you pay at the counter. Our meals came to $60. Again, that's super expensive for this type of set up. They were redeemed once I tasted the food. Hands down, this was some of the best southern food I've tasted in a while. Everything was seasoned well without overpowering the food itself. I particularly enjoyed the mac and cheese and collard greens. They also give large portion sizes so that made up for the price as well. I loved the cobbler. They give you a good amount which is great considering it's almost $9. I could possibly come back and try some more cobbler if I'm splitting it with someone. The food is delish but I'm not sure I would pay that price for takeout. read more

Ordered 2 turkey wing dinners with black eye peas on both, collards & cabbage for each last night. Got home 6 minutes later ready to sit in but The food had absolutely NO SEASONING! WTH?! I'm giving it one star because it was a lot of food, but no one wanted to eat it! I'd been here when they first opened & they were good. But last night was my last time. The food is expensive so therefore should be delicious. Called to speak to the manager but naturally she - London- couldn't come to the phone. I guess this is what happens when you try to open too many locations. Just do one right & people will come. read more

This food isn't even edible! The shrimp was so salty that the salt burned your tongue. The ribs were boiled, over cooked and old. The Mac and cheese taste boxed, noddles over cooked and tasteless (my kids wouldn't even eat it) and the greens... this place needs to close and retrain the cooks. Very unfortunate read more

Our first visit was epic! Make sure to call in your order for the catfish! It does take a while-- but it is worth waiting for! The seasoning and batter for both the catfish and wings are something special!! The greens were a bit sweet for my liking but the potato salad, cabbage were both a hit. The banana pudding was delicious! My husband devoured his peach cobbler! Took a star off bc for our second visit we waited way too long for wings. I wish they would've told us about a long wait for some fresh wings. But again, wait was worth it. The cornbread is also delicious!! read more

The Fayetteville location is new and I wanted to support the new business in the area. The food smells so good when you walk in. There was plenty of staff and no customer service issue. Unfortunately, the smell of the food did not result in a good taste- especially for the price I paid. The fish was chewy/rubbery and had no flavor whatsoever. On the other hand the Mac and cheese looked good but was way too salty-I couldn't even eat it. Very disappointed. read more

While the service was immaculate the food was not. I ordered fried chicken all the pieces they had out looked like this.... Barely breaded and barely fried.... All the other pieces looked nice crispy and cooked but not Any of the wings. For $20 would think it would be consistent. This is the new location on shallowford rd. I might give them another try but I doubt it.... I was beyond unhappy with my chicken not being fried all the way. Cabbage was not good either. I literally gave it to my dog. read more

After reading the previous views I'll reserve my comments because I think they've all covered my opinions of the restaurant. I ordered the 3 Whole Wings (a' la carte), and the Peach Cobbler. The total was $28 and some change. The bag the food came in is reusable for taking the food back for a full refund. Oh and thanks for the enormous amount of feathers on the wings. The Wings look as if they'd take flight back to the Fayetteville location at any moment. After tasting the Peach Cobbler, I'm scratching my head wondering why the name of the restaurant is called the same. Why? Not a good experience and I pray that the owner(s) will read the comments and begin making changes to keep the doors open. read more

First time I ate here it was amazing! Easy a 5 star review! But I order late right before closing so I Believe that's why things were more fresh. I ordered a couple days ago and it was terrible. Nothing tasted fresh, it wasn't hot. The food here is too expensive to not taste good every time read more

Peach cobbler cafe was a waste of my time and definitely my money. I clearly paid for the location and not the quality of food. There's absolutely nothing special about this place that sets it apart from any other cafeteria style restaurant. When I first heard about this place I couldn't have been more excited! I thought, a whole cafe dedicated to peach cobbler...count me in! The commercials have you feeling like you're listening to your sweet old granny describe all her amazing, made from scratch down home entrees, sides, and desserts that she made for the family. Just like the ones you'd find on the table at Sunday dinner. It makes you want to try the place out. However, once you get there you see it's nothing more than a scaled down Piccadilly restaurant. You wait in line to order cafeteria style, pre made dishes are plated for you in plastic to go plates after making your selection, then you head to the register to pay. The food was a spread of chicken (baked and fried), fish, pork chops, gravy, vegetable sides, rice, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. None of that was what I came in for so I can't give an opinion on that. I came for the dessert, the peach cobbler to be specific. I placed an order for that as well as a slice of sweet potato pie...2 of my favorite desserts so I know how these should taste! My bill for these 2 items (one scoop of cobbler and a small slice of pie) was about $16 before tip. Now I'm a foodie, I definitely don't mind paying good money for good food but this wasn't the case. The portion sizes are laughable for the price AND the peach cobbler was just so so. As for the pie, I make better sweet potato pie at home. For a restaurant named the Peach Cobbler Cafe I expected so much more. It was worth trying out once but I honestly see no reason for me to come back. read more
