The food was amazing. The catfish was great! There was a lot of food, more than enough to fill us up. The pork chops were tender and juicy. Would recommend 100% read more

Great food. Pork and chicken was great. The sides were amazing also. Can't wait to go back.

The proteins (ribeye and lamb chops) that my husband and I ordered were amazing, they were seasoned and cooked to perfection! But the mountain of potatoes that came with both entrees, particularly my steak skillet was such a huge portion. And unfortunately I only had 6 steak bites among that mountain. Giovanni, our server was great! But the excess amount of potatoes were definitely a problem. We expect to pay for a good meal when we dine, but it's problematic when potatoes or other fillers are used to create the illusion of a large portion of quality food. read more

Southern Classic Foods - These were the left over potatoes. Once again, the eggs and steak were delicious, but the potatoes were in excess. - Southern Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Found this place online and social media. Although the food was good and hot, THE SERVICE SUCKED !!! I'm a stickler about where I spend my money or who I support. The young man that helped us was awful. If this is the face of your establishment I will never come back or recommend. The fact that it is black owned and the face of the establishment lacked a personality, any people skills or could careless about the person in front of him or his job, is very disheartening. You never know who you are serving. read more

Service could be a little friendlier. Good food, but items are hit or miss. Mac and cheese, jerk bbq chicken, yams, cabbage, collards are a ten out of ten. But cornbread muffins are always cold and dry. This is still a place that would get my money. I haven't had anything that would eliminate this business from my go to list. read more

We were skeptical at first but when we went in and ordered our food the aroma was very stimulating. I had fried pork chops, collard greens fried corn fried okra corn bread. The taste was delicious. My plate was so full I'm taking home enough for my next meal. We will be back! YUM! read more

Everything was sooo good I had the salmon with greens and mac & cheese, seasoned perfectly. My son had the chicken tenders, yams, and baked beans with ground beef , and my daughter had the fried chicken and sweet potato pie for dessert . It was all amazing! The guy who took care of us was super nice and the restaurant was really clean . If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Definitely the best soul food in Roswell. We'll be back for sure! read more

Large portions of comfort food. I ordered fried chicken wings with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy and macaroni and cheese. My order was cooked to order and I had a wait of 15ish minutes. The hot chicken was seasoned well and worth the wait... as were the sides. The corn muffin was a thumbs down- it was a dry puck that was a one bite and meh for me. The sides were on the steam table being kept warm just off the to the side of the cashier station. As soon as the chicken came out, my meal was scooped up to be served. There was a trickle of to go orders and other diners. The tables aren't overly comfortable- all high tops and stools- and that may be the key to not having people take up space in your establishment. read more

I had this place TWICE during my recent weekend visit to Atlanta. I stayed with my cousin in Milton, and she suggested this place after I said: Atlanta doesn't know how to cook. Well, well, well, SCF proved me all the way wrong! I had the mac and cheese, fried salmon, fried flounder, cornbread, fried shrimp, greens and string beans. The fact that they cook it to order...baby....(chef's kiss). A must-have. read more

Honestly I was blown away by the quality of the food. I ordered the fried chicken entree which came with three pieces of chicken and two sides. Greens and Mac for me. Let me tell you there was not a crumb left by the time I was done. The chicken was fried to order (be prepared to wait. It's worth it.) so it was juicy inside and crispy outside. Perfect. The Mac was the perfect balance of creamy and cheesy with just enough spice so that it was anything but bland. And the greens might have been the best greens I've ever had at a restaurant (important point of clarification ) If you're reading this just go. Just go. Hit the little directions button below the information and go. You will not be disappointed. Just remember depending on what you order the food is cooked to order so be prepared to wait. So worth it. So so worth it. read more

Omg , 10/10. Their food is soo delicious, seasoned soo well. I can't wait to go back and get me some more. I'm glad they have a soul food restaurant north atlanta, there isn't many around these parts. The space is cool, there's some seating. The food is fresh made to order if you get fried food. The service was also good. read more

Impeccable service--super clean restaurant--really great food. They have perfected the simple staples of Southern food! I am so glad I found them! I was last minute-desperate for the New Year's Day greens, cornbread, black eyed peas and used Yelp to look for them. SCF was less than 4 miles from my home--I had no idea they were there. If you are looking for sit down service--it is not offered here; you order at register and there are some tables --not many. Go here--GO! I'll be back, maybe I'll see you there! read more

I've been here a number of times and the food is delicious. The meals are served as follows: a meat with two sides, cornbread, and a fountain drink. They have recently asked you if you want a fountain drink. So that is now optional. I have always gotten fried fish. They cook your fried fish to order so keep that in mind. If it's really busy, you might be waiting for up to 45 minutes for your fried fish. So because of this, I recommend ordering in advance of arriving. The sides are seasoned well and were delicious. We've tried the black eyed peas, collard greens, candied yams, corn, mac and cheese, and green beans. All of the sides we've tried were delicious. My father-in-law had the fried turkey wings and he said they were delicious. He couldn't eat all of it so he had to rest for lunch the next day. He said that heated up well and was delicious the next day. Highly recommend! read more

The girlfriend and I stopped by to get some food for dinner and another couple we would hang out with a lot (Pre-Covid) told us about this place or heck maybe the girlfriend told them... either way.. it was my first time going and I haven't had any "Soul Food" in a minute so I thought it was a good idea. The staff pretty much greeted us at the door to take our order. We only had a chance to look at the daily specials so we weren't quite ready to order yet. In all honesty, I don't know if they were bored and was happy to see us or if they are that aggressive with taking your order. The place is not that big and it was a little empty so I was like "oh boy!" I asked the girlfriend how she felt with just a few people in the establishment and her stomach answered... "OH WE ARE ORDERING SOME FOOD!" Yes ma'am I replied and we ordered!. She ordered, Pork Chops, Chicken, collards, cabbage and mac n cheese I ordered, the smothered turkey wings, collards and mac n cheese! I was actually surprised.... the chicken and pork chop were actually pretty good... The turkey wings were good but I am not a fan of salt and the gravy had just a little too much salt for me.... please keep in mind that I don't eat salt that much at all so any salt is too much for me. The mac n cheese was my favorite of all the sides.... the collards were good and I just didn't care for the cabbage. Either way... I will certainly go back and try them again. Stop by there and see what you think! Y'all be Easy! Drew read more

The food was really good especially the greens. The customer service was great. The only reason I gave them four and not five is because I had to wait an hour for my food. So if you are in a hurry, this wouldn't be the place but if you've got time to go sit down, and wait for your food, it'll be worth it. Yum. read more

This is my 2nd time visiting Southern Classic. I will admit the first time had a few glitches. But nothing too major. I understand all new restaurants have kinks to work out. So I decided to visit again! This place did not disappoint. My flounder was so good and fried just right! Seasoned well and absolutely delicious My Mac n cheese was cheesy and good! And baby the greens the greens. I love greens so if it's not right I would know. Everything was absolutely delicious. I'm very glad that soul food has make it to Roswell. It is definitely needed in the area. Keep on making right and I will be a forever customer. Congrats on your new restaurant read more

Southern Classic Foods - Flounder fish dinner with Mac and cheese & greens! Yummy - Southern Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Love the food. Helpings are generous and presented well. Mainly use for takeout but love their service

FINALLY got to try this place. But wasn't worth it for me and here is why: I learned about this place from Instagram so I checked the restaurant's IG page, liked what I saw and added it to my ever-growing list of restaurants to try in Atlanta. The menu item I wanted (smothered turkey wings) is only offered on Saturdays and Sundays. The dressing side is only offered on Sundays. So that limits the days I can go to try this restaurant. I learned recently they added flavors for their turkey wings like lemon pepper and honey hot which I believe are not limited to specific days like the smothered turkey option. WHAT I ENJOYED: 1) The smothered turkey wings were good. I liked the gravy and they serve a lot (I had some underneath the wings which I used to cover the dressing side. 2) The sweet potato pie- served in these cute single serving, individually wrapped aluminum foil pie containers. Very good filling and crust. I ate it cold and loved it so imagine it warm after being heated in the oven. 3) Online ordering process- seamless, easy, email confirmation after placing the order and you have the option to pay online or at the store which I appreciated because I added a dessert to my order so instead of two transactions it was altogether. My order was made true to time. 1pm. I called at 1:03pm and was told that my order was ready. I had to make sure because I had tried to go last week Sunday and there was only the cashier who told me they were behind on online orders and if I placed an order at the counter, a 30 minute wait that the owner is in the kitchen by herself since there were no cooks. WHAT I DIDN'T CARE FOR: 1) The menu for drinks I presumed were homemade but everything listed are fountain/soft serve drinks which I was disappointed. I ordered pink lemonade thinking it would be homemade even if it was the Country Time mix just not Hi-C. Yes that is what the pink lemonade and fruit punch are Hi-C served from the fountain drink dispenser. The sweet tea is the Gold Peak brand which is actually good but again I was expecting homemade. Even a little Arnold Palmer action like half sweet tea and half lemonade but I wouldn't dare mix Gold Peak with Hi-C brand. I think I also saw Sprite, Fanta etc. 2) The dressing- looked burnt, it wasn't but it was dry. Using the extra sauce at the bottom of my turkey wings helped somewhat. My server had drizzled a little bit of sauce on the side but not enough. I don't recall if in the online ordering there is a section where you could put a message in notes requesting extra gravy. I didn't care for the taste of this side and I'm a big fan of dressing. Only ate half and threw the rest in the garbage. 3) the collard greens- advertised that it is cooked with turkey meat but maybe my serving scoop missed the turkey . Like another reviewer mentioned the collard greens were bitter. I wouldn't order this again. Only ate two bites. Threw the rest away. Waste of two sides. The only other sides I was considering: the corn & Mac and cheese. The corn (based on pics) didn't look appetizing and I've read mixed reviews on the Mac and cheese which is why I avoided ordering that. 4) Customer service- as a reviewer mentioned it is hit or miss. The serving lady who doubled as my cashier was very nice. I believe she was the one who greeted me (from behind the counter) when I arrived and she also told me to have a nice day when I left and thanked me for my purchase. There was another lady however who saw me standing and at first I thought she was asking if I had been helped. So I responded I have been helped and pointed to the lady who was packaging my order but she was actually asking if I had paid. O_o Wow! I am not about to run off with the food and not pay. Plus the lady packaging my plate already took care of the transaction and I doubt she would give me my plate without accepting payment first. The iPad was still showing my receipt on the display and I chose the option to have the receipt texted to me too. So that whole interaction was offsetting. 5) I believe the food is made to order although it seems it is served cafeteria style so I highly recommend online ordering unless you are a patient person and do not mind waiting. This spot is good for those who live in the Roswell area and want some soul food. But for others who live in the city I wouldn't recommend. It isn't worth the drive to me or dealing with traffic on the way back into the city from the restaurant. Because the two items I liked would be an incomplete meal (sweet potato pie and smothered turkey wings) and no other sides interested me. The drink I ordered, I could buy at the local grocery store. So again it isn't anything where I need to drop what I am doing and head over there. read more

I ordered the plate with fried pork chop, green beans, and Mac and cheese. The food was ready at the expected time per Grub Hub. The portion sizes are large. The young ladies who prepare the food are nice and personable. Everything was hot and delicious. I would've preferred my pork chop fried a little bit harder and crispier and for the price at two pieces of meat would've been expected instead of just one. Parking is ample and free in the shopping center lot. I recommend them. The food is quite good. read more

I'm gonna give her 5 stars. There is no need to front like it's not really good because it is. The prices are rather steep, but for the area it's par for the course. The dining room is super clean and modern enough for any demo. We ordered take-out and the smells ALONE were worth it. The pecan pie was also a pleasant surprise because it's easy to make them overly sweet - these were perfect. This place has a ton of potential and I would love to see how they're doing in 5 years. I likely will be back multiple times between now and then. Very solid. read more

The food was very good. It is Southern Soul food. The Collards and blackeyed peas were very well seasoned. It's a small restaurant, but does have both seating and take out. There are not many Southern food restaurants in North Fulton, so it's great to have a good one in the area. read more

Tried this spot for the second and was hoping for better results , but unfortunately it about the same. Middle of the road at best! I ordered two vegetable plates. Cabbage ( I wanted Collards) but they were a 30 minute wait. I should have ordered anyway as it took more than 30 minutes to get my vegetable plates. I also ordered the fried corn, fried okra , Mac and cheese and dressing. Let's start with the good, the cabbage was very tasty, nicely seasoned and cooked well. The corn was good but not what I would consider as fried corn. It was closer to Mexican style griddle corn (which I've made many times on my black stone ). The Mac and cheese was just ok. Not cheesy and the seasoning was underwhelming. The dressing was horrible! It was gummy with very little flavor. I asked for gravy and that did not help. In fact it may have made it worse. Over all I was not impressed and could not recommend to any real soul food fans. read more

Great gem located in the north Atlanta suburbs. My nephew and I wanted soul food and I didn't feel like cooking. I remember seeing the soul food sign previously and decided to give it a try. We had turkey wings, candy yams, rice and black eye peas. Price: The pricing is reasonable. The turkey wings were $15 for two wings, two sides and a fountain drink. Additionally, they have daily specials with various meats and vegetables. Food Quality: Turkey Wings were cooked to perfection. Very flavorful and meat was falling off the bone. The yams were the perfect texture and melted like butter when consumed. The black eye peas were a little salty and the cabbages were not cooked well enough for my liking. The Service: The young lady at the front was very pleasant. I can't recall her name but I do remember it was very unique. She was very knowledgeable about the menu items and checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed. I will definitely patronage this restaurant again! read more

food was decent.. portions are small. needs to work with the service. young children working the counter that you can't hear over the loud music being played ‍music first thing as you come in the door to the left !!! way too loud and unnecessary! the young lady was ok but shes soft spoken and cant be heard over the music! she put gloves on each time she handled food and i appreciate that. now if you are so "short staffed" maybe you should sell dinners like the ladies back in the day?! or pay more per hr than min wage !! and to ask a customer that is giving you a review if they want to fill out a application is disrespectful and unprofessional! good luck ! read more

Me and my husband are new to GA, and we were looking for a good soul food place to start eating at. The location is inside of a strip mall, a decent area and location. inside, the ambience is inviting, and the decor is really nice. The main dish is cooked in the back kitchen, and the side dishes are out on a steam table. There are fountain and bottle drinks. Now for the food. We actually have visited this here 2x. Service is pretty good, you can order quickly and can sit at the booth like tables while you wait. First time we ordered, a fried chicken dinner with Mac and cheese, and green beans. Also smothered turkey wings with Mac and yams. The chicken was cooked well, could use more seasoning, my husband said the turkey wings were also cooked well but could use more seasoning. We both agreed the Mac was just okay, but better than a fast food chain. The green beans were very salty, and the yams were very mushy, and could have also used more brown sugar. **SECOND TIME WE PRE ORDERED ONLINE Second time we went because we were in the area. Pre ordered online. Fried flounder w/mac and collard greens. Also jerk ribs w/ Mac and fries. Both with a cornbread, and drink. Cornbread and drinks were include. Like the first time I believe the fish could have used more seasoning, Mac was the same and the collards were too salty. The jerk ribs were actually very good, and the fries were also. When I asked about the drinks, which were on my online receipt, I was told the fountain drinks were not included and would cost an additional 6 dollars. If you are in the area, and want some soul food, great place to stop by. However, the website needs to get re-done, so I know exactly what I am ordering. If drinks are not included, the website should say that, or if that's how it was ordered, than the customer should receive what is on the receipt. read more

Delish, excellent, superb and so tasty. This restaurant is the whole thing. I had the catfish and it was seasoned and fried perfectly. Bite into crispy crunchy batter and then, BAM!, you taste the fresh catfish. Service was polite and considerate of the customer.

I used to go across town got silver food now, I have the best in metro Atlanta in my backyard. Goes without saying I'm returning and often. read more

So far I've tried their smothered pork chops and the steak and gravy on separate occasions. Both were fresh and delicious. Seasoned nicely, but not too much. Nice, filling portion sizes and fair prices. This will be my go-to place for some really good, authentic southern cooking. I'm a southern "boy", born and raised in SC and I grew up on it - and know it when I taste it. And I'm so relieved that get that itch, I don't have to drive all the down to the southwest side of Atlanta to get it scratched! Give them a try ya'll! And thank me later! :-) read more

I've only been living in Georgia since December so I'm still exploring places to eat and foods to try. Went through Yelp looking for good reviews for fried chicken. I Came Upon This Place and decided to give it a shot. I'm going to post a picture of the fried corn the mac and cheese the cornbread and the fried chicken. I would have included the coconut pie however; while I was waiting for my food I ate the whole pie! It was great! Now that I'm at home and trying everything - I have to say the food is delicious. The fried chicken is great so are the sides and I'm not a fan of mac and cheese but this mac and cheese is delicious and it's super cheesy. I will definitely be back and next time I will forgo the desert so I have room for my actual meal:-) I just want to add that the portions are huge and I probably could make a couple of meals out of the one read more
