    Chicken Waffle
    Derek D.

    So much history and art here. The breakfast was good but I won't rush back to have. The beignets to start with the best part of the meal.

    Short ribs and grits
    Julie R.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Casual, cool vibe in Inman Park, with garage doors and cool art. Lately I've been going for brunch after yoga and getting the short ribs and grits, which is an AMAZING gluten free meal. It has a huge hunk of delicious meat with a tasty au jus sauce, two eggs cooked to your liking, roasted carrots, and grits. It lasts me for three meals. I've been coming here for years and used to add kimchi to the lamb burger. Service is always good. These days, you can valet park or find street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant.

    macaroni bites! yum!
    Lily G.

    Macaroni bites (no bacon) are some of the best I've ever had. They spiced it beautifully. We ordered that, fried green tomatoes, a breakfast sandwich with hash brows, and a side of the cucumber avocado salad because I felt like it was needed a non-fried vegetable. That cucumber avocado side salad was delicious. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and they drizzled this incredible spicy mustard (?) vinaigrette over it that complimented it beautifully. I wish I got more! The fried green tomatoes were phenomenal. I didn't try the breakfast sandwich, but the portion was generous. Service was not super fast, but our sever was very attentive and could answer all of our questions for us easily. Ambience is fantastic. It's like if indie music was a place.

    Side of bacon

    What a fantastic place. I visited Folk Art with my fellow Elite, Ashley B., on a weekday afternoon and we had such a wonderful experience! This Folk Art location is nestled in a row of lovely restaurants that may go unnoticed if you don't know what you're looking for. Despite being smaller than some restaurants, there were still so many seating options available inside and on their covered terrace. There was also tons of free parking outside in an adjoining lot which can be a rarity these days. We were seated and paired up with Cam as our waiter and, wow. What a great guy! He was so patient, super nice and so open to sharing his recommendations. He seemed like he was happy to be at work and was in such a good mood, it rubbed off on me! We started with cappuccinos and the grit balls as we decided on our entrees. My coffee was so delicious, mixed with just the perfect amount of caramel. Such a great pick-me-up. The grit balls were delicious! The peach jam was such a great pairing with the fried grit balls, a great recommendation from Cam. For an entree I went for the 'Foul Play' which is their take on chicken and waffles. I'm not a huge chicken and waffles fan but I went for it. Everything was perfectly cooked but it's still not the raving success for me as it is for others lol. Before we left I grabbed a lavender lemonade and, WOW. It was SO good. The flavor actually stopped me in my tracks, it was infused so well! Overall, a fantastic first experience at Folk Art. Can't wait to visit the other locations!

    Sweet potato pancakes and chicken sausage
    Erica S.

    I didn't expect the best breakfast ever just by the looks of it, but the group wanted to eat here since it was nearby. Turns out, I enjoyed my breakfast the most out of everyone. I had the sweet potato pancakes and chicken sausage which was the best option for me. I tried the fried green tomatoes, which I haven't had since I was a kid when my southern grandmother would cook them. Compared to her's, theirs was okay. The short ribs and grits, chicken and waffles, and the steak and eggs were said to not be anybody's favorite. I knew this before I asked because they all left their plates unfinished and wanted to try my plate - which they liked.

    We stopped by because we were staying in an Airbnb across the street and my husband needed some coffee. I was very happy to see that they had cocktails. Neither of us really eats breakfast but we did try the Randy which was so good we came back to get more the next day! Who doesn't love, pancake, battered bacon? All of the staff were extremely nice on both visits. If we were in the area, we would gladly come back and try some of the other food. We actually tried to come for dinner and realized they close early.

    Burger & Fries
    Adreanna W.

    The decor was nice! The restaurant was absolutely too loud!! The music was extremely loud!! Server couldn't hear! Therefore placing the order was a terribly bad experience! Didn't have a large food selection! Seemed to have some good drink selection! I order burger & fries and pigs in a blanket and only ate a few fries! My food came out with hair on the plate! I wasn't satisfied with the experience of eating here at all!

    Folk Southern Fried dish (perfectly fried chicken breast on house made fluffy biscuits covered with sausage gravy)
    Richard N.

    My better half had a doctor's appointment in downtown ATL off North Druid Hills Road. We left the appointment around 11:15 and looked for nearby restaurants that served breakfast and lunch options. I found Folk Art on Yelp and we decided to give them a try. I am so glad we tried this location as the service and food were excellent! The restaurant had street parking and we parked around the corner from Folk Art. This is a fairly compact location so I am confident that they get very busy on weekends. Upon entry we were quickly greeted by a friendly wait staff person. She told us we could sit wherever we wanted and she delivered menus to our booth. Another member of their wait staff arrived at our table and took our drink orders. My better half wanted lunch so she ordered the steak sandwich with a side of sautéed spinach. I was in the mood for breakfast so I ordered the Folk Southern Fried (a large fried chicken breast on house made fluffy biscuits with two eggs and covered in scrumptious sausage gravy). I ordered my eggs poached and it was a delicious combination of hot fried chicken breast and perfectly cooked poached eggs. My better half enjoyed the steak sandwich which includes grilled mushrooms, onions, and red peppers covered in Provolone cheese. The sandwich has a delicious horseradish sauce piped over the sandwich. The interior of this restaurant is really cool with walls covered in art and beer signs. A very relaxing atmosphere with friendly and outgoing wait staff. If you haven't been to Folk Art Restaurant, you should give them a try as soon as possible!

    My friends and I had brunch here and we had a great experience. I had the short ribs and grits and really enjoyed my meal. Everything was delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Complete Breakfast
    Megan B.

    This is of my favorite spots in Atlanta for breakfast/brunch. There is a good sized parking lot to the left of the buildings. Complimentary (for tips) valet on the weekends. The space isn't that big inside, but they use it very well. It is always clean and the service is excellent. I always appreciate the kindness and efficiency of the staff. I enjoy their brewed coffee and juice selection. Today I opted for the Complete Breakfast which included 3 eggs, a protein, grits or hash browns, and toast. You can get Delia's chicken sausage for a $2 up charge. Yum! I've visited many times and have never been disappointed.

    Food: Really Good Food I ordered the veggie omelet with premium veggies, with hash brown and wheat toast, all very tasty, my guy ordered maple french toast and egg Benedict with salmon. He was not a fan of his food. He said that the egg Benedict was tasteless to the point that we had to add hot sauce. Service: Terrible This was our first visit to this location and we were very disappoint with the service received. It seems like this place has regulars and they were treated as elites. We had two group of people that came in after us, yes, we were seated before them however they were greeted well, given menus and beverages while we waited, then she was on to the second group that came in after us. After coming over to take our order and bringing our drinks out she never returned to our table until she was bringing out the tab, someone else brought out the food and the rest of the visit we were waiving other people down for coffee refills and hot sauce requests. My guy had to go asked for syrup and also swap out hot sauce, at this point he asked me for a tip because he felt like he worked there.-lol Ambiance: The place is adorable, all of the old signs gives the place so much character, the music was really good, it was so much fun watching the kid seated next to us sing most of the R & B songs playing. Had the service been better this place could have easily been placed into our weekend rotation. Will we be back??? Probably not.

    One word. Underwhelming. I ordered coffee, it had grounds in it. I had to ask for another cup. The Fried Grits were decent, it paired pretty well with the jalapeño peach jam. But nothing above average. The biscuit and gravy were a let down unfortunately. Definitely not my favorite.

    Julia H.

    Got here on a Sunday about 12:00 and only waited 5 minutes for a table. My friend and I ordered a Bloody Mary which came with a seasoned rim. It was so good! I ordered the bacon Benedict which eggs weren't as runny as I like them to be and hollandaise sauce was kinda bland so needed salt. Over all it was good and will be back.

The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked or rubbery. The grits were smooth. The gravy was well seasoned, but not overly salty or rich. The cornbread and bread or biscuit was good, but not extraordinary. Those were quite dense and heavy paired with the other food. I loved the banana pudding. This meal jumpstarted my banana pudding hyper fixation. Very fragrant and not too thick yet still nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy either. It was a good dessert to round out the meal. I hope to come here again and have an actual sit down experience. Curious to see the ambiance!

    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.

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.

Couldn't have been happier with our choice. Reviews I'd seen online mentioned parking is a bit limited and that the restaurant is frequently busy. So we were prepared for that even though we were going on a Thursday mid morning. I think there was an influx of people celebrating graduations because it was in fact very busy. However we got very lucky with parking and happened to come in right as someone was leaving. I was sure we would have a wait for a table, which of course would have been fine, but actually we were seated immediately! Which was super nice and unexpected. The atmosphere is bustling but not in a bad way. The restaurant itself is adorable and has a lot of character. It feels like you're having breakfast at an old friend's house. The service was great and our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. I ordered a specialty coffee, I believe it was the almond joy cold brew, and it was delicious. Strong, which is how I like it and not overly sweet. I ordered the chicken biscuit on the waiter's recommendation and it was absolutely the best fried chicken I've ever had. Juicy and crispy. My husband ordered the pimento cheese omelette and was very happy with it, the bacon was thick cut and smoky and flavorful. The pimento cheese grits that came on the side for me were also a stand out, such great flavor. The biscuits are fantastic and the blueberry basil jam that came with my husband's meal was such a nice touch. We will absolutely make a point to come back to Buttermilk Kitchen next time we visit the Atlanta area.

First things first: the Chicken Biscuit. Buttermilk Kitchen's biscuit is on the crunchy, honey-flavored side. I personally prefer fluffier, more buttery biscuits, so this one wasn't my favorite. That aside, the chicken was crispy and well-seasoned and paired well with the cheese grits. If you ever wanted a dry, crunchy version of Homegrown's Comfy Chicken Biscuit, come give this a shot. I also tried the Hash Bowl, which was a bit underwhelming. It was a *lot* of potatoes compared to the eggs and bacon bits, and there wasn't a lot of seasoning other than the bacon. Would rather recommend one of the other options if you end up visiting. The drinks are good as well, would recommend the matcha latte (not too sweet!) and the French Press coffee.

The chicken was alright, but I wouldn't say it was the best I ever had, let alone consider it the world's best. This joint is located in the lower hub, but I believe there's also an outside street entrance. Upon entering, we were told to sit anywhere. The interior is rather dim, and it wasn't super clean as there were still some crumbs on our table from the last people who dined there. There is also a very casual feel to the place, exemplified by the fact that food is served on styrofoam plates and paper trays. FOOD: 2-Piece Dark (Thigh & Leg) (4/5) - Chicken was nice and crispy, but nothing crazy special to me. I was expecting it to be spicier. Liked it more with the Louisiana hot sauce on the table. The chicken rests on a slab of white bread and is served with average slaw and sweet baked beans. Fried Okra (3.5/5) - First time having fried okra. Not bad, and I guess frying it eliminates the slimy texture associated with okra. SERVICE: I am not usually one to complain about service. The person who served us was sweet when we did interact, but it was so hard to get their attention to order and get the bill. But beyond that, the kitchen was noticeably SLOW. My brother and I literally only ordered one plate/portion to share since we wanted to try more places, but it took over half an hour to receive our food. They do emphasize that food is cooked to order, but I still found the wait to be baffling. TLDR// Come here or don't, but if you do, make sure you are not on a time crunch. Maybe I am just being harsh because I was expecting more from a place claiming to have the world's best.
