    Liquid from the gumbo, spilled in the bag.
    Toni A.

    I'm giving the Collard Greens Gumbo 2 stars for one main reason: it's excessively salty. If you're seasoning the gumbo and then seasoning the greens separately, it results in an overwhelming amount of salt. Additionally, when ordering gumbo "To Go," it should be served in a sturdy plastic bowl container with a secure lid, not a styrofoam clam shell. Half the juice spilled into the bag during my short 10-minute trip home, leaving me with a much drier dish than intended. I hope these suggestions help improve both the taste and packaging for future customers.

    Pork chops were thin and a little tough but tasted great, they are a large size and they give two Greens tasted fresh, cooked perfectly, and well seasoned Yams were cooked and seasoned well

    I read a raving review about April's Place, so we decided to go Saturday around 2 pm. The restaurant is in a new strip mall and there were plenty of parking spaces. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted with a smile and seated promptly. The decor was average and people were casually dressed. The waiter was polite, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We ordered the seafood egg rolls as an appetizer, they were really good. The shrimp/grits a fish were good but could use a little more seasoning. The mac and cheese was delicious. The collard greens were not my favorite, bland. Overall, my experience was good.

    My girlfriend's mom suggested we try April's place for after church dinner. We arrived around 2pm and I was surprised it wasn't packed. We were immediately seated. After reviewing the menu I decided to order the turkey wings that came with rice with collard greens and macaroni and cheese as sides. The meal was just okay. I can't really say the food was flavorful and my collards were not that warm. Our waitress was attentive and provided decent service. It was just an okay overall experience.

    I want to give them a 4.5 because no one is perfect. We went here as a shot in the dark, looking on Yelp for soul food - on a Sunday - in Douglasville. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted with the food, service and overall experience! The location is on Fairburn in an area that is experiencing lots of redevelopment. There's construction happening in and around the neighborhood but this shopping center is about 100% occupied. The April's team has occupied this space since September 2022. We arrived for an early dinner and went for it. Cocktails, appetizer and entrees. Luckily we skipped dessert! We started with the SW egg rolls that came drizzled with siracha mayo (or similar) and had a wonderful curry flavor. To drink we had the Georgia Peach and the Southern Margarita. Sooo good! He ordered the fried chicken with three sides - collard greens, cabbage & rice with gravy. I ordered the salmon croquettes with grits, eggs & toast. Everything was delicious! Our only complaint was the temperature could have been served hotter. Gravy on the rice was mediocre. The ambiance is chill - they have R&B music playing, big screen TVs and active diners either at the bar or to-go orders. The take out volume was high so that's a sign the food is good! Prices are on the higher side but I was fine for good food and great portions. Overall we will be back. The TVs weren't all working for some odd reason and people had their own devices to watch. Small things to correct but overall a worthwhile experience.

    Of course I come here because it's a Location film in Stranger Things…read more But man, let me just say besides the show don't judge a books by its cover the food here was amazing and the staff here was so nice I had a burger and it's probably the best burger I've had in a very long time Our experience here was so amazing specially, being able to sit in the same table and the same seats in the same location as number 11 did. Besides it being a Stranger Things filming location from season one I'd do recommend you stopping here and trying their food. It was definitely worth it.

BF looked it up and saw that it was the diner from Stranger Things, so we had high hopes. Well. Here's the good: Everything was made to order. The chicken fried steak was AMAZING and our waitress couldn't have been any sweeter. The bad: My god this place is run down. Talking ripped booth seats, chipped plates, etc. We waited an hour for our food because yes the food is made to order, but it's only one guy doing it all. At the half hour mark we decided we were already committed, so we just stayed. The mid: The sides were just meh. Mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, crumbly dry cornbread. Honestly the fried okra was pretty good but it's hard to mess that up. Overall, it was ok, it was cheap, but I wouldn't come back.

    Party of 17 for a Mother's Day weekend brunch at Gritz Brunch Bar…read more Upon arrival, the young gentleman at the front stated he was unaware of our large party reservation. He did work to prepare tables for us, although he seemed hesitant to combine all of the tables together for the group. Unfortunately, the floors were noticeably dirty, and the staff appeared to make a last-minute attempt to clean the area as we were being seated. Our server was kind and pleasant, but the service lacked attentiveness in several areas. A few members of our party were initially overlooked when orders were being taken, and some drinks never arrived without gentle reminders. On the positive side, everyone eventually received their meals. Now, the food itself? Absolutely amazing overall. The flavor, temperature, portion sizes, and quality were impressive. Most of our group thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The only consistent complaint came from a few people who ordered the French toast -- they felt it lacked flavor and thought the issue may have been more about the bread selection than the preparation itself. Despite the service and cleanliness concerns, this is still a spot worth trying. The staff would greatly benefit from additional customer service training -- smiling, checking on guests regularly, and maintaining engagement with customers goes a long way, especially when the restaurant is nearly empty. Our group was practically the only large party dining there for close to two hours. The cleanliness also needs immediate improvement. First impressions matter, and honestly, a food critic or health professional might have walked out based solely on the condition of the floors upon entry. That said, we're genuinely glad we chose Gritz as our 2026 Mother's Day Saturday brunch destination. The food made the experience worthwhile, and we absolutely plan to return. Hopefully management receives this feedback in the spirit it's intended -- constructive, honest, and hopeful for improvement.

    I was impressed to say the least!…read more Before I arrived, I hadn't ever heard of this restaurant. Yet as I entered and sat down, I was quickly entertained by the smooth sounds from the DJ and immediately the vibe was set. Our waitress, Nyla had a very was calming presence, she greeted us and began taking g out order. The restaurant energy was upbeat and calm for a Sunday. While the Dj played some hits, smooth enough to vibe out but not too much to make people get up and dance. Energy was very subtle. We ordered drinks and food. Everyone decided to stick w/ the lemonade. Oooouuuuu wee, that drink was good and refreshing! MY MEAL- I ordered the All Around Omelette, w/ the peach cobbler French toast!! Now let's get into this French toast.... When I tell you this entree was DELICIOUS - believe me! The bread was soft, and the cobbler was seasoned to perfection! It gave a nice bold mouth full of flavor, that was devoured! I was initially nervous b/c I assumed the bread would be thick and hard, considering it was actually French bread. Instead, this was an absolute 10/10! My omelette was good as well just a bit over cooked for my preference. However the toppings/ filling balanced the eggs dryness. Nonetheless, I enjoyed everything on my plate, except the biscuits. They were okay but those seemingly homemade biscuits need butter in our opinion. The food was soft good I ordered my man a Jerk chicken and waffle plate to share!

The first visit on Jan 24th was great as she had Never been there before. The experience was so nice she begged me to take her again on Jan 28th. That second visit was a horror story. First our 2 cups of coffee arrived with dried up lipstick on both cups and coffee stains. Yuck! (See picture) I had to get up and find the waitress and request new cups. Then, when our food arrived, the silverware was even MORE disgusting that the cups of coffee (see picture) I then had to get up from my table and go to the kitchen area to alert the waitress for more silverware. As we sat there for what seemed like forever waiting for silverware... by the time she came with it., the food was cold, pancakes tastes like rubber and I had to get up a third time to request a redo of the food. Three times I had to get up from the table and seek out the waitress. When the manager came, all he did was say "I'm sorry!" I could tell he was totally inexperienced and had no clue how to exact customer service. His apologies fell on deaf ears and we were relegated to just leaving without being able to eat or enjoy the food. A Total waste of money! Dirty Coffee Cups Filthy Silverware Cold eggs Rubber pancakes And a "Gee,, I'm Sorry!" Manager What has happened to this restaurant I wanna go back, but I won't give it a try again if Mr. I JUST GOT HIRED YESTERDAY is running the place!
