    Made to order sign. And yes they do!.....3/5/2019
    Kesht R.

    I finally made it here on 3/5/2019. Someone told me about Stem's over a year ago. Can't believe I've driven by here a hundred times or more and didn't know it existed. It's a tiny whole in wall next to the Florist. Easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Well I wasn't sure what to get. So for nostalgia I ordered red link split with everything (mustard, ketchup, chili, and onions). The hot dog buns was lightly grilled (toasted). Hand cut fries were great. The special comes with that and a can soda for $5.75 +tax. I also ordered a side of grits. No flavor--but that was fine because I was able to fix it up the way I like when I ate it later. The staff was nice. I will definitely be back. I wish they had longer hours but oh well... I'll get it in when I can.

    I'd travel for great food! Thumbs up to "Stem's Cafe!" I walked into such a pleasant and homely atmosphere. Ms. D was so welcoming, felt like I was home. The aroma was like my grandmothers kitchen! I ordered: salmon patty, I say "croquettes," cheese grits, scrambled eggs and toast!!! If you're in metro Atlanta or surrounding area and you want some good southern home cooking, just "branch" out to Stem's! No disappointment here!!!

    Everything is cooked to order. This place was booming . Uber Eats orders coming in back to back . I waited 20 mins for our food to be cook . Everything was fresh and delicious . I will be back to try their salmon breakfast patties and other items on the menu . It's very easy to miss the location . It's next door to a floral place . They accept cards and cash . If you do not have time to wait for your food please do not order . It's back owned

    I love this little restaurant. It's one of my favorite breakfast spots on the southside. The parking is tight, tight, tight and they cook their food as ordered so call ahead to get a jump on it. One thing I really like is that the employees are always friendly...never a bad attitude or an employee that wishes they were somewhere else. Food is excellent. There were a few hiccups when I ordered cheese in my grits or eggs and never got it. This happened when ordering through Uber Eats. I kindly asked for that to be refunded and they obliged. I've tried different things on their menu...my favorite being their Omelets and Salmon Patties.

    To each their own. You know how you can tell how good a resturant will be by how many customers? There was a steady stream of customers. The inside of the resturant is small and was packed continuously. However, this spot is not for me or my family. We waited over 40-45 mins, when we were told only 20-25 minutes. We ordered three meals for breakfast. Each meal came with the 3 pancakes and a meat, everything else we wanted had to be ordered on the side. So, we ordered 3 side scrambled eggs with cheese, two sides of homestyle potatoes and one side of grits. I wish my husband could get his money back. My husband rarely complains, especially about food. The pancakes tasted greasy and were VERY thick, like hard to swallow without taking a sip of a drink thick. The potatoes are difficult to describe..they were bland and two minutes from becoming mashed potatoes if they cooked any longer. You see the small helping in the picture? The potatoes were $4.00, the eggs, another small helping cost $2.50 and were also bland. My husband also said the grits were bland. The food look good in the picture doesn't it ? Well, save your time and definitely save your money. Our food went right in the trash. Maybe some of the other menu items are delicious. However, I am not going to be the one to try and find out if they are. Needless to say, this was our first time and last time dining at this resturant. If I could give zero stars I would.

    Club croissant so delicious! Comes with fries canned soda of your choice. Sandwich has lettuce, tomato, ham, turkey, cheese, and bacon.

    Small place, to go orders mostly. Small lunch counter on the side with 3 stainless steel stools. The food is good. Breakfast and Lunch Staple on Campbellton Rd. I would try this place again.

    Arrived here the day after World Cup match. On the way back home used yelp to find a vegan spot…read moremyself and the hubs could eat at. Arrived and there was no one at the counter , but there was a bell there to request for help. Once it was rang , a few minutes after a male came to assist us. The menu is filled with of mostly soy based products. Hubs choose the beyond burger and myself Quinoa burrito. Sorry no pics of the food as we were hungryyyyyyyyy! The portion was big enough to share honestly . The fries were freshly cooked but had more so an oil flavor on them - which we didn't enjoy. My quinoa burrito was actually really tasty and I removed the wrap and ate it as a salad since it was basically falling apart on me. I would definitely have no problem eating it again! On the other hand my hubs burger wasn't too tasty..wasn't bad but there was nothing remarkable about it. The fresh juice they had was great for me- I had a ginger mint blend mix that I truly enjoyed! The hubs however thought all the fresh juices were a bit too sweet and he had to dilute it with water. We didn't enjoy end up taking some of the food to go as we had a long drive back home which I must say my burrito stayed warm for the 6 hour drive! Back to the store- we noticed the utensils and napkins were on the side near the juices along with to go containers. That area wasn't stocked so I had to ring the bell once again (numerous times) in order to get someone's attention for a minor request. They definitely need to rethink staffing as it was an unnecessary issue- observed other people walking in and waiting as well.

The other servers had smiles and were working to help anyway, they could. I think I will be coming back to this location. The food is always delicious, of course. The vibe is good and clean as well.

    Take a seat, grab a snack, a beverage and get comfy. This will take a minute…read more It's best to start with entering the establishment. BACK STORY: 3 women of color dressed in very similar color could mean, high school classmates, church group, political group, etc. . My point is we were dressed in similar identifying colors and emblems. We may appear to be women of a certain age of maybe 65 years but not certain. ........We are actually, retired Military Women of Color, had just left an event which included a meet and greet lunch. So now we're meeting, ATTENTION!!! ANYONE WANTING A NICE TIP; Scan/learn your clients: "None of the 3 of us had ever gone to a restaurant where you scanned your menu." Grab another more seasoned and probably patient server because the radar of attention should be sounding, red lights flashing, and a banner sign saying "LORD, please send Patience because I think these old ladies are going to be a handful." Grade System Start: A++ 1. The hostess Zarjana, promptly guided us to our seats. 2. Once seated, Zarjana, began by welcoming us to a 5 Star experience. For me, that was "WOW" prepare to be amazed. I've been blessed to have traveled the country for 22 years while serving in the U.S. Army, and have experienced a variety of different cultures of foods and hospitalizes. Now, I'm meeting new friends, about to experience my first 5 star dining and the setting was wonderful. 3. After three failed attempts to take the orders of 3 senior women of color dressed similarly, all wearing glasses on their noses, trying to read a scanned menu on phones that work randomly, you as a server should be calling Tyrone's Auntie "Patience." But, bless her heart, she continued and began to, emphasized several times and I mean SEVERAL times to my friend who was eying the Lollipop Lamb chops, "Portion Size", which for me meant, "Ok, once you get your "Lollipop Lamb chops don't say I didn't warn you ahead of time when you can't find your spoonful of mashed potatoes. Also, other customers have probably commented about the portion sizes as well. Good looking out Zarjana, message received and appreciated. 4. Beverages arrive (me water with lemon plz). Cute plastic glasses filled to the rim spilling to the floor and the table. My sister took the napkins above the silverware holder to wipe the spilled water from the table, and I took the other napkin to wipe the water I spilled moving my glass to my side of the table. My sister grabbed napkins from the table next to us to continue the cleanup of spilled water. NOTE: OK, NO MORE NAPKNS, AND THE SILVERWARE SETUP INNTHE HOLDER IS: 1 napkin and two forks. GRADE SYSTEM SCALE SHAKING B+ 5. Meal arrives; Zarjana is asked to please provide a knife for the meat, a spoon for the grits and napkins. I spent 20 years teaching Equal Opportunity on active duty so, I studied "Body Language, " and her body language turned to Total Frustration. The Grading scale is now at a C. We explained, we cleaned the water that spilled in the overflowing glasses and because, there wasn't another setup, and we didn't want to call her back to clean Her mess as a server, so we took napkins from the table next to us. I mean again, we were still the only customers. She pranced away, grabbed napkins, a spoon and knife. NOTE; Yes, we explained ourselves and no, I don't know why. But anyway because the establishment was empty, we watched her and her peers rearrange the light fixtures over the bar, mingle with one another and never once did she come check in see if we needed anything. So, now we're searching for the 5 stars, but only see the reflection of passing stars. Oops, sorry that was the reflection of passing cars. WHAT DOES FIVE STAR FOOD LOOK LIKE : Hidden potatoes as warned so no surprise. You just need the proper utensils for your meal. You would think a better selection of cutting utensils for lamb chops might be a steak knife, paring knife or butcher knife. Not a Butter knife. The order was shrimp and grits. Now when your grits are leaving a trail from the kitchen to your table, send a spoon. you need a spoon. I don't return food. Either it not eaten or I eat what I can tolerate. So, my calamari was an appetizer of puffed something crunchy mixed with air. I realized it was batter once I dipped it in the sauce. Maybe three pieces of actual calamari was consumed. Thankfully, the green tomatoes were pretty good. My sister unfortunately was struggling with her lamb chop because she was given a shiny dull butter knife. And no napkins in reach. We asked another server to please have our server come to our table. A new server came out and we asked for a steak knife, spoon and napkins. Ok, enough. It doesn't get better. MY MESSAGE: Zarjana, was asked by me, Are you alri After several attempts to take our order, (Prior to arriving, the 3 of us met at a, "Meet & Greet" so we were now getting to know one another and had no idea we

Again,it's small venue: you really shouldn't come here with a slew of people if you can help it. They have some outdoor seating as well, but not a lot, so you don't want to count on that, but it's kind of intimate. The bar fits maybe six to eight seats at most, and the general seating probably no more than 20 people. It's in a shopping center area, so it's free parking when you go, and there's a number of other things there. You could easily start with this spot and then go to a show and then end up in a cigar lounge, so at least that's a little bit of flexibility. I had the House malbac which was pretty good. I'm looking around, though, and I noticed that the food looks amazing. It made me feel bad for not eating, LOL. Everybody says that it is good, but I just can't speak on it. It looks amazing, so I wanted to make sure I say that. I sat at the bar, and the bartenders kind of were in and out. There were maybe four people at the bar aside from myself. The bartenders kept disappearing, so I wasn't sure about the whole service component with this place. Once you get their attention, you're good, but it just seemed like there were a lot of disappearing acts. I gotta give them grace because it looked like the bartender was dropping off food as well, so I can't wholly take off for that because it looks like they had him doing double duty. If you're into seafood and you want some crab cakes or some salmon, you should probably at least take a look at the menu. It's a good stop-off point, so I would definitely suggest giving it a shot if you're in the area.
