Our friends have been here before and wanted us to try it out since it's been around since 1955 --…read morethat alone made me curious! It's located right in the heart of downtown Tucker, with plenty of parking on the side and a spacious interior, including a private dining room for large parties. We came around 2:30 PM, after the lunch rush, so it wasn't too busy. The setup is cafeteria-style -- you grab a tray, walk down the line, and let the servers know what you'd like. Everything is à la carte, with entrées around $6-$8 and sides about $2.50-$3, so you're looking at roughly $15 per person for a full meal -- not bad at all. Everyday they have a different set menu of what they serve so you get a mixture. We ordered a bit of everything. I'm a big meatloaf fan, so I had to try it -- but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my hopes. It didn't look very appetizing and the texture was overly ground and slightly gritty because it was a bit dry. It comes with your choice of gravy or marinara sauce, but honestly, I would've preferred some classic ketchup on top instead. The fried fish was mostly batter with very thin fillets, so there wasn't much substance there either. The country fried chicken, however, was the highlight -- large portion, well-cooked, and flavorful. Just note that once you add the gravy, it loses that crispy texture and becomes soggy. The sides were decent but nothing memorable, and the bread and hush puppies were pretty dry. Since everything is counter-service, there isn't much staff interaction. You pay upfront, find your own seat, and when you're done, you just leave your tray -- there aren't any trash cans to clear your own table. Overall, the experience was just okay. It's a neat place with history and friendly vibes, but the food didn't quite hit the "soul" level I was hoping for. There are definitely other country-style spots I'd try before coming back.

While visiting from out of state, we were looking for a good place to have brunch. We researched…read morethe area and saw that The Breakfast Boys located in College Park, GA was Black-owned and had very good reviews. What a gem! We made reservations for the 6 of us, and upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff. There was a line of people waiting to be seated, so we were concerned about having to wait since we were heading to the airport. We had a brief waiting period before being seated. Jasmine D, our server was prompt and very personable. The menu was full of delectable choices for brunch or lunch. We ordered the Very Berry French Toast, Chix & Pancakes & bacon, Jerk Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffles, and a Kids Cheese Scramble & bacon and grits. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was attentive and patient with us the entire time we were there. If you're looking for great food, a great welcoming down home ambiance and are in the area, The Breakfast Boys is a great place to go, but make reservations! We can not wait to visit the Atlanta area again and to visit The Breakfast Boys.

Several neon signs greet you at the entrance of this charming old school Southern restaurant. They don't accept reservations so we gave our name and then chose to wait in the seating area by the hostess stand although we could have waited at the bar area. We were called to our table in about 30 minutes. We were seated at a semicircular booth and our server greeted us right away and gave us menu and got our drink orders. The hardest part is figuring out which entree to get for dinner, as there were many to tempt us such as prime rib and roast turkey, but my friend ended up ordering the Chicken Fried Chicken with Tomato Aspic and Baked Potato and I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken with Sautéed Spinach and Whipped Potatoes (each entree comes with a choice of 2 sides and they have many to choose from). It felt like only a few minutes went by and our server was already bringing us each a bread plate with a cornbread muffin and a biscuit, plus my friend's Tomato Aspic. I had already told my friend I wanted to try the aspic but I wanted her to try it first. She said it was great and tasted like cocktail sauce with pieces of celery inside. I took a bit of Mayo on my fork, like she did, and then slide into the aspic to grab a bite. It wasn't bad! In fact, I took a few bites more. It tasted like a cocktail sauce/ketchup combo, in gelatin mold form. Our main dishes also came out really quickly and they were huge! My $24 fried chicken was an entire half chicken with a wing, a drumstick, and a giant thigh and breast. It was really crispy and tasted delicious. The spinach was nice, too, with pieces of garlic and the potatoes were yummy as well. I only finished the breast piece and took the rest home. My friend also took home half her meal and we saw that pretty much everyone was bringing home leftovers. This was a great meal and a great value as well.

RC had approached her with a flier at a gas station, informing her that his restaurant had just opened up. Anyway, I'm ordering my meal, the same meal I always get each time I go. Fried fish (whiting), collards and the baked beans (unmatched). And he goes, "What would you like to drink?".... I'm like, "What do you have?" (Assuming the usual. Sweet tea. Lemonade... I was probably gonna go with sweet tea. ) He lists sweet tea of course, and then hes like, "Kool-Aid, coke, sprite" - IM LIKE WAIT. DID YOU SAID KOOL-AID?......... He's like, "Yeah??..." Im like, "what flavor???.... "Purple?...." I had never heard of that at a restaurant, and quiet frankly, that's all I needed to know. At this point, I literally go nowhere else for soul food. Also, RC is amazing. Really good guy, and his team offer the best service as well. A job well done, always.
