Jerk chicken and Caribbean Peas 'n Rice
Zeeshan Q.

Absolutely flavorful, finger licking food here in municipal market. There is a decent wait after you order, but I'd say it's totally worth it. The jerk chicken has a nice smokey and spicy flavor, and the chicken itself was so tender and freshly prepared. The Caribbean rice was also very flavorful, seasoned, and paired well with the chicken. I wish i tried their mac, as I've heard it's also really good. Definitely stop by and try this gem!

Oxtail Rice Bowl
Robert F.

Auntie Vee's Kitchen is a true gem! The Oxtail Rice Bowl was phenomenal--fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned, tender oxtails that were full of flavor. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. I'll definitely be back!

So I visited this restaurant on 2-5-2026 for the first time at The Municipal Market. I previously seen this business on IG in reels. This is Caribbean food as far as the entree's. They have two different types of rice for those who want rice. I looked on a video and saw that yams or sweet potatoes are available with oxtails. Any time I can get that with Mac and cheese it's a go. Their Mac and Cheese is award winning. The food is delicious. The price for the meal is up there compared to other places. I was able to eat off of my plate a total of three times. I will say that the food is definitely worth it though not a disappointment. Pull up and check them out.

This place was so great I came back twice on my recent visited to Atlanta. When I'm in Atlanta , I usually go to the same restaurants. I rarely try a new restaurant. However, this one has been on my to-do list for a while. so , I decided to go ahead and check them out. Great customer service 5/5 : smiles and helpful. I ordered online. Didn't have to wait more than 10 mins both visits. once I let them know I was there Make sure you park in the Sweet Auburn Market parking lot and get your parking ticket validated at the machine near the Exit before leaving to save money. Oxtail pizza 4/5 : I'm not really into fusion food like this and it didn't work for me but it was so good. I can see this working for people who are into fusion foods. I probably would just order the oxtails separately if they come that way next time. Macaroni and cheese 4/5 not overly seasoned and cheesey very good almost Al dente how I like it but that's a personal choice. Halal Smoked Grilled Chicken Sandwich 5/5 this was a surprise banger right here. All that flavor tenderness of the chicken. this is a definite must order. This is definitely the place to check out if you like halal soul food or just great food in general. Check them out !!!

Jerk chicken stir fried rice and macaroni and oxtail
Maryam S.

This place definitely lived up to the great reviews! I wasn't even hesitant on trying it. It was devoured in no time at I have wanted to try oxtail and I finally found a halal spot. The macaroni with oxtail was exactly what I expected, meat so tender you could pull it right off the bone and the macaroni was top notch. We also tried the stir fried rice with jerk chicken. Every bite was full of flavors. We took our food to go and it was 30 minutes to order. The location is inside the market and parking gets a little tricky. Being from out of town it was also a little shady around the area.

Caribbean  Rice jerk chicken

Went with 2 friends. We wanted to try out the jerk chicken and oxtail, because we heard good things about them. Unfortunately, they just sold out on the oxtail. We went ahead and ordered Jamacian Rice with jerk chicken, Mac and cheese with jerk chicken, and chimichanga with jerk chicken. And we split the entre, as the portion was generous. Mac & Cheese jerk chicken: 10/10 agreed upon by the entire group Caribbean rice: 9/10 compared to mac and cheese; I'm sure it would have been higher, had we not tried the Mac and cheese Chimichanga: 8.5/10 Service is what you expect from a high quality vendor, very good customer service. Yes it was slow, but that is expected for good food.

Cheesy Eggs with beef bacon and Tater tots (breakfast)
Kern C.

Auntie Vee's serves up some really high quality Caribbean style food in Atlanta. Aunty Vee's would succeed in any part of the country for sure because this sorta quality thrives in any market . I've had both breakfast options and lunch options but I definitely lean more towards the latter . The must haves I'd say are the jerk chicken with either the rice or the mac and cheese and their homemade sweet potato pie that tastes better after letting it sit at room temperature for a day or two . As a side note , the jerk chicken has some smoky under tones and isn't spicy . It's closer to what you'd expect in a smokehouse which was a pleasant surprise . Also, their menu states they have lamb bacon but according to the owner , it is no longer available .

Garlic honey chicken Chimichanga with garlic butter rice
Mina O.

Auntie Vee and her staff have such a welcoming demeanor. I ordered the garlic honey chimichanga and it did not disappoint, I didn't have a scale, but it felt like it weight almost 5 lbs lol so they don't skim on the ingredients. This location is in the Municipal Food Court and there are tables and chairs available for customers to enjoy their wonderful cuisine. And let's not forget about her undeniably delicious sweet potato cheese cake, this dessert alone will have you running through the doors to order a few slices. You can also get your parking validated on the way out of the food court. I will be returning to support this business.

Jerk chicken Mac and cheese bowl
Marcus O.

* Food This place is so good. I had a rice bowl and the mac and cheese bowl. Both were crazy delicious and so much food it made two servings. I still think about that jerk chicken. Food is awesome. Definitely going into my repeats. * Service Well, if you must know, there were enough complaints about "slow service" that I tried to go during an off-peak time. I ended up there when there was only one or two other tables, went to the counter, and put in my order. What I figured out is ... the service is very pleasant. The folks there are patient, helpful, and attentive. What I think people are talking about is how long it takes for food to come out. Here's the thing, Auntie Vee ain't shortcutting. When your mac and cheese comes out, it's been baked and is bubbling at your table. It's worth it. * Ambiance Spacious, comfortable seating... but no actual kind of theme. They had a projector set up with a movie playing when we were there. We passed the time waiting on order, playing one of many types of board/card games -- UNO in our case.

As soon as we entered, we were greeted by Naee who informed us that we can sit anywhere we choose. Soon after we sat, we ordered. Hubby ordered a 2 piece white w baked beans and greens I ordered 2 piece dark w baked beans and fries. 2 fresh brewed sweet teas please !! There was a short wait. Roughly 20 minutes. I didn't mind. I knew the food was cooked to order. I enjoyed watching horse racing on their TV, and people watching. The dining area is spacious, and clean. As soon as our food was up, it was on! The chicken was so fresh, tender, and well seasoned. I love the spiciness level. The baked beans were ok. A lot of flavor, a little sweet. The greens were great! I loved the flavor and consistency. The fries were pretty great too! Fresh and crispy. We enjoyed so much that we were planning our next visit, while sitting there eating during this visit !! Lol The sweet tea was good. I added a little water to it. I would certainly order again. I snatched a slice of fresh baked sweet potato pie to eat later. Later came, it was good straight out the fridge, great heated up. In true saving the best for last spirit, NAEE !! She was amazing from beginning to end. Sweet, personable, and consistent. She answered all of our initial menu questions, checked on us at the perfect times and made sure we didn't want for anything. This place is a must visit! You will not be disappointed.

**Huge Difference Between the Dark and White Meat -- Do Yourself a Favor and Order the DARK MEAT!**…read more What We Ordered: 2 Pieces of Dark Meat: Absolutely amazing! The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You could really taste the subtle spices in every bite. This chicken alone would have earned a 5-star rating! Coleslaw: Delicious, creamy, and the perfect side to complement the chicken. Baked Beans: Highly recommend! These were a standout side and definitely a must-try. 2 Pieces of White Meat: Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The chicken was dry, chewy, and lacked flavor. Honestly, it tasted like a completely different restaurant made it! Mac and Cheese: Nothing special. It was lacking flavor and didn't really stand out. Fried Okra: Surprisingly tasty! This was a nice addition to the plate. **Overall Experience:** The dark meat was SO good that I would have easily given this place 5 stars based on that alone. However, the difference between the dark and white meat was mind-blowing. The dark meat was juicy, flavorful, and seasoned beautifully, while the white meat was dry and disappointing. I would never order the white meat again, but I would absolutely come back for the dark meat! If you're trying to decide which sides to get, definitely go with the *coleslaw and baked beans. Both were delicious and worth ordering! Service: The service wasn't the warmest or most welcoming, but the staff wasn't rude either. Since it was my first time visiting, I would have appreciated a little more guidance and information from the server about the menu and what they recommend. Atmosphere: A small, cozy, homey restaurant attached to the Peachtree Mall. It has a casual, comfortable feel. Final Verdict: ORDER THE DARK MEAT! If they can keep that same flavor and juiciness consistent across the menu, this place would be 5 stars from me all day. Just skip the white meat for now and make sure to get the coleslaw and baked beans on the side!

I sat at the counter cuz I was flying solo and had nice conversations with those next to me. The way the entire building is decorated is completely eye candy and as satisfying as the food. If you like crazy loopy, different kind of stuff. There's a specific coffee shop and small gift shop in the back with social & environmental conscious products. Even have a film development drop off that I guess locals take advantage of cuz where do you go for that anymore other than some kind of chain pharmacy?. I took pictures for my posting but also for myself to consider coming back and shopping another time. Several of the magnets and signs I would love to own. The food is plentiful and flavorful. I had the daily special of Georgia fresh shrimp sauteed on top of homemade sourdough that had a little bit of a French toast crispy to it, topped with roasted tomatoes and spinach and thin crispy onions that were well seasoned. Most the time for lunch you just hope for something that taste good and this was beyond my wildest dreams of what I was going to eat for lunch today. And it was only $10. The burgers, the fried chicken, the fried shrimp, everything was looking so yummy. I totally have to come back. The place is much bigger than it looks from the front because it extends around the corner behind the counter and they greet you when you come in.

If you're trying to get in and out, I recommend coming with smaller groups, like 2-4 people. I think it'd be chaotic to try and deal with a big party in the basement dining area. Recommend any of the fried chicken dishes, biscuits, and fried okra.

Great biscuits. Just great overall. The dishes served are all elevated Southern fare. Just a warning it is so popular that parking is very difficult to find and if you like a quiet place to eat this is not it. FOOD: REALLY excellent. I was so impressed. I need to come back. Just from what they served I had to get extra and bring it with me on the plane. While eating there, I had the pimento omelet which was beautifully balanced and flavorful. The biscuit was a bit hard on the outside but so pillowy on the inside. I also got the fried green tomatoes which was beautiful to eat. I took home the fried chicken sandwich and it was so delicious. I'm sure everyone else on the plane was jealous. SERVICE: Super friendly and the setting was great. I'm sure it is an old, converted house made into a restaurant. Tables everywhere and all of them full. It's a bit noisy so if you like it quiet, you won't find that here. But the service is excellent, the portions are huge, and the setting is homey. COST: Definitely above average but worth every penny. For what you get it's so good. Could you find a cheaper breakfast? Sure. But you get what you pay for and you you get something great.

That's how I got four stars. This time, the service felt very different. Our waitress, Nekale, had a pleasant voice and was a beautiful woman, but she lacked warmth or friendliness. She definitely had the RBF going on. It felt like when someone says "I love you" with a stern face. Maybe something happened that day and she had an attitude, but if that's the case, don't interface with people on the floor. The girl brought lukewarm coffee, and my mom had to ask for fresh coffee. I was a little embarrassed because it was my mom's first time there and the service was blah. My mom said her grits were lukewarm, and so were my potatoes. She did not want to send them back because she was hungry, so she just ate them and did not say anything to me until she was almost done. Everything came out at a great time, and the presentation was amazing. It all looked very delicious. However, when I bit into my chicken biscuit, I got a lot of grease. In addition, I had asked if everything was an even swap, and she said yes, but when I paid, I saw an upcharge for my potatoes. All in all, I was very disappointed that the service was not as great as I experienced the first time. I was also disappointed that my food wasn't amazing. That said, I will still be back at some point.
