I ordered the Chamblee hot chicken, which I enjoyed and my companions both had the burger with fries. As I mentioned earlier, the day was warm and beautiful, so the vibe on the patio really made the dining experience enjoyable (the tasty food also helped). I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The Jolly Rancher is just too big. A giant chicken cutlet with avocado half, two eggs, large bacon strips, and a giant heaping of jalapeno ranch. Sauce and toppings went everywhere on my first bite. Smash the sandwich together and cut it into sections. It tastes great though. The loaded fries had cheese, sauce, and real bacon. The loaded fries are a meal themselves.

Great flavor, traveled well, super crispy, and huge portions! I would definitely want to try some more of the drinks. I also love that the chicken cutlet is gluten free! The bun is not, so we put it on our own rolls at home. I can't speak to ambiance because the hubs picked up, but he said it was a cute space with just a few tables for seating, and easy parking.

If facing the shopping center from Buford Hwy it is to the back all the way to the right. It has a small electric sign.

Ambiance: none at all but this is a buhi (buford highway) establishment so I couldn't care less about ambiance or service; just give me the good food. They really should swap out the fluorescent/LED lights and I'm not sure if it's an authentic addition but there's a gambling room too connected to the dining room lol. lol Service: table service, however we paid at the register at the end of our meal. Sort of like Waffle House lol. At the time of our visit, it was one woman who was both the cashier and server but we also visited at like 10am in a Friday morning LOL. We know it's an odd time. I will say the food took longer than expected but then again we got like 6 homemade tortillas soOo... I won't complain bc I can't make my own tortillas any faster than they can Food: We wanted to do a breakfast that was quite unique and we definitely got it here at this authentic Guatemalan restaurant. I got the desayunos rancheros ($14) with "medium well eggs" and my bf basically got the same thing but with a side of sausage ($2) instead of steak. Both proteins were absolutely delicious and eggs were deliciously cooked. The table received some homemade tortillas (LITERALLY THE REASON TO GET BREAKFAST HERE) and we made little breakfast tacos with our eggs, meat, beans, salsa, and cheese. The yolks made a perfect dipping vehicle for our tacos. I cannot get over how perfect the tortillas were; warm and soft. Coffee also wasn't bad but their creamer is a powder (also not sure if this is just a Guatemalan thing or not lol but I drink my coffee black so it didn't matter to me)

Service is always great, parking is easy, and the ambiance is fast casual with indoor and outdoor seating. With multiple locations around the city, the Chamblee location has become my go-to since the Decatur spot closed! I almost always order the 3-piece OG chicken (or 4-piece if I'm extra hungry) with rice, a salad with ranch, or fries, both the regular and sweet potato fries are so good! The chicken is always hot, crispy, flavorful, and consistent. I've also stopped by for brunch before and really enjoyed it, so I'm definitely planning to come back soon to check out happy hour and some of their daily specials. Ponko never disappoints!

At least those won't be cold. Our last experience at Ponko, the person behind the counter was so high out of her damn mind that we had to remind her that we already ordered food multiple times, and she just never told the cooks. Once that was settled, half of what we ordered was missing at the tenders we did get was a soggy mess of sadness. But that part was more on par with a Ponkos experience, someone overly moist soggy tenders that cost $15 for 5 of them. When they were new in town and care, they were good. But they stopped giving af awhile ago and this place is awful now. If you're in the area and want chicken tenders just call me or something, don't go here.

This is supposed to be famous chicken. Famous for what? The beans were canned beans and the coleslaw was ok, nothing fantastic or different. I paid $22 on a friday during lunch hour (so it should be fresh because of the turn over) for 3 dried out chicken strips, beans, coleslaw and a fountain drink. It came with mustard dip. No zip to the mustard dip. $22? For lunch? Is Gus still around? Does he know his chicken is becoming famous for being mediocre and expensive? I also have to mention the Dollar Tree decorations in the bathroom. Really? Why even have decor if you are going to do that? I do not recommend this chicken spot. I love to support local! I will continue to support local. Just not supporting this chicken.

If additional allergy concerns were shared, the chef was consulted to ensure accuracy. I enjoyed my wing combination of lemon pepper and jerk sauce. Made fresh to order and was delicious. The accompanying French Fries were perfect complement too. My partner enjoyed his veggie wrap which included a mixture of vegetables in a large tortilla wrap.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. They're known for hearty subs, and the Philly cheesesteak, juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a generous roll that soaked up all the flavor beautifully. Portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. I also tried the Pastalaya with chicken, which were flavorful with great seasoning and cooked perfectly. The variety on the menu is excellent too, everything from Italian hoagies and pasta classics to salads and soups, so there's something for everyone. Service was very friendly and efficient, and prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Would definitely recommend stopping in for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner. Ample free parking available in front and around the restaurant.

We have tried their Pastalaya made of Diavolo and alfredo sauce blended with grilled chicken, shrimp, Italian sausage, onions and green peppers. I was worried because it is their take on Jambalaya, but it was a wonderful burst of flavor. Garlic bread was a complimentary with our dish. Steven was our server for the day. Plenty of free parking in and around the restaurant. The Mad Italian first opened in Atlanta way back in 1973 and they have been going strong in Chamblee, GA ever since 1981. Their original location in Chamblee closed within the past ten years or so and they have a pretty much brand new spot literally about two doors down on Savoy Drive. Fantastic, modern restaurant facility. Unbeatable location. Top notch service. Friendly ambience that feels like home. Excellent service. And the best food you can get for the price.
