    10/10 brunch experience! This is my new favorite brunch spot. Amazing food, music, and customer service. Plus bottomless mimosas!

    I need to go back for the night vibes, but the brunch was ok. Our server was brand new so everything was a bit slow. The Caesar salad was not worth the amount it cost and all the other food was just alright.

    Went on taco Tuesday and Wednesday for live band chicken tacos are the waitress shon was had excellent service remembered our names when we came back Wednesday the whole vibe in there is amazing will definitely go back when In town.

    Chicken quesadillas

    Arrived to, almost, empty place. My friend and I were seated. We were greeted by a young lady, who acted like, she didn't know us, but had serviced us a night or so previous. The atmosphere was blah at best. She took our orders and came back, approximately, 40 minutes later. The pictures tell everything. Yes, my food was burned and his was greasy, sloppy and not tasteful. I think this is our last time at Backstage.

    Backstage is always a vibe. I love it there on Wednesday they have the real good singers karaoke but if you can't sing your day is on Thursday. Food and drinks are always a hit and the staff is nice. If you like to line dance and hookah then this is the place for you. They are good for a nice line dance.

    We went for Sunday brunch to celebrate a birthday. Although they were empty we were embraced a by a friendly security guard, an awesome waitress named I think Brianna and DJ Hood. Our party of six ordered a variety of food off the brunch offerings including chicken and waffles, fish and grits, hash, wings and sliders. I enjoyed the fish and grits although I thought it came with two fish not 1. The chicken and waffles were basic strips, waffles and fruit but the highlights were the sliders and the hash. The sliders were tasty and the hash was delicious. I appreciate the champagne for the birthday girl and the overall service of the staff. Next time I'll make sure to get a pitcher of mimosa to set my brunch off right! As for the DJ loved the mix of old school and new school music. It was also cool to see the music videos stirring up memories of high school and college. I'll be back for Karaoke and Crab Legs.

    The Backstage is a fun neighborhood club that's cool. Not too hood and not too bougie. Everyone is having a good time, DJ is playing so many things 90s, 2000s to present. The food is good, very diverse menu. Only drawback is that the servers are very sweet but way busy. For bottle service or hookah, it can take a long time and same with getting served at the bar or the table. Parking lot is free, but fills up fast. Definitely a fun time.

    BACKSTAGE is a whole entire Vibe Nothing but GROWN, SEXY, SEASONED & MATURE Cat Daddy's & Sugar Momma's. Parking: Free it gets packed so parking gets tight. Some street parking is available, across the street is a lot & located across the street to the right is lot across where some guy charges $20.(i will never pay that) Prices: reasonably price Admission: FREE I went to BACKSTAGE on a Thursday when it was Karaoke night, which was so good. They also played a lot of line dancing music. The food is normally pretty good & the music is great 80's, 90's, 2000's you will definitely get your dance on. Backstage is a staple in College Park city of Atlanta off of Old National. If you are in town looking for something to do, I would recommend Backstage its not your average club. it's more loungey.

    Chicken Nachos amazing

    Good spot of you're looking to hang out with the locals. Large space could fit a lot of people , ample seating. I went on a Tuesday, they have a comedy show. $2 Tuesday night specials including nachos sliders tacos and wings. Drink specials and hookah. They have a lot of staff to accommodate you. Got my drinks fast. Really enjoyed it

    I can't believe it took me so long to eat at Delilah's! I've known of this highly lauded business…read morefor years but never found the right day when I was craving soul food and in the area to order. Until recently. I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

    Well, well, well.... I must say... I don't know if it was a marketing tactic or genuine happening,…read morebut there was a sandwich (seemingly ready for customer pick-up) at the edge of the counter that looked delectable and totally caught the attention of my friend and I walking by. It made us stop and ask, "what is this place and this absolutely delicious-looking sandwich?!" The rest is history. We ordered yummy fried chicken pieces and a bbq chicken sandwich. It cured our souls. We asked the generous, wonderful lady at the counter about the story of Delilah's: was she a real person, who is she, etc. her answers made us fall in love even more... this is a genuine, family-owned and operated enterprise! We love, love, loved our food and I can't wait to go back and soport again!!! You gotta try it.

No ceiling fans, why not? The host (blond headed guy) was super nice and got us seated quicky. Our server Calli was also the bartender. He was very nice and polite, but he was clearly stretched doing double duty as server and bartender. His drinks were on point, but It took forever to get apitizers, and entrees, and it was difficult for him to really check on our table as often as we would have liked. He tried his best. Now the food: The smothered pork chops, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, collards, mac and cheese was great. Those chicken wings were fried to perfection 10/10. The mac and cheese wasn't really as creamy as I like but it was still really good. I wanted to take my out of town guest somewhere they could only experience in Atlanta. And, I wanted them to go back to Chicago and say what a great dining experience they had. In terms of the food, and drinks, location, they were well pleased and said I picked a winner. Now when the sun went down the music got crunk and the younger crowd started to pour in. It was a bit loud for the 45 up foks, but at least it was good R&B so we adapted.

That's usually both a…read morered and green (brown? lol) flag for me, but the space is huge - indoor and outdoor seating - so putting our names down only resulted in a 20 minute wait. Entirely manageable. Started off with the Tropic Like It's Hot mocktail (pineapple, orange juice, coconut water cream). Pretty tasty, crisp, and refreshing. Then came the cornbread muffins with the "liquid gold" spun honey. Unbelievable. Hot, crumbly, and easily the best thing on the table. Whoever is running the pastry program in the back understands pure physics. I could've eaten a dozen of those alone. For the entree, I got the Spiced Maple Chicken & Grits - fried chicken tossed in maple hot sauce, grits, two eggs, benton's bacon, and scallions - along with a side biscuit and jam. Complete hit. The chicken had a great crunch, the heat-to-sweet ratio was locked in, and the grits were smooth. Biscuit was flaky and proper, too. Bottom line: Buttermilk Kitchen executes at a high level even when swamped. Just don't skip the cornbread. I'll definitely be back.

They have a mini lot in the front and two in the back but space is limited. We had the biscuit trio and they were good. They get cold fast though. It comes with 3 jams and butters for you to try. The French toast was good but idk how fresh the bread was bc the crusts were hard- especially after cooking. It was actually kind of disappointing bc I had a much higher expectation for the texture and flavor. There's nothing special about it. My friend loved her grits, eggs and bacon dish. Service was good and timely. Overall, I'd go back and try something different but would definitely get the biscuits again.

The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place.

Their breads and jams are particularly delicious, but my absolute favorite--and the most pleasant surprise--was the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese. They were incredible! For my entrees, I've tried the blue crab quiche and the frittata. Both were decent, though the crab quiche could have used a bit more flavor. My guests really enjoyed their orders, including the Springer Mountain chicken, Nashville bites, and the farm egg hash. Overall, it's a solid spot--clean and modern, with great baked goods and reliable service. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

There is a large sign on the side of building. Entering from the street, there is a ramp down to the counter and seating area. Seating is mostly tables with a few stools at the counter. There is a sign above the counter on the right for takeout orders. The menu is simple. It's fried chicken. There are sides like slaw and baked beans with a few appetizers, but mostly it's chicken. Once our order was placed, it only took about ten minutes to get our food. One thing we noticed while waiting was the cook was checking the internal temperature of each piece of chicken as it came out of the fryer. This was very much appreciated and ensured every piece was cooked to perfection. Constant quality checks like that show they take their product seriously and do not rely only on a timer to tell them when it is done. All the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. While moist, the meat was not dripping with juices that ran down your arm or left a puddle on your plate. All the flavor was locked into the chicken. The baked beans were good, maybe nothing special but certainly a good accompaniment to the chicken. The slaw was also decent. The mac and cheese was good as well. One note of caution. The chicken seasoning is spicy. If you are used to large chain spicy versions, this is more than that. The flavor is great but the spiciness will get your attention. As long as you are aware of that, you will very much enjoy this chicken.
