Sweet Potato Donut holes
Shanté R.

This a very nice spot. Loved the decor and the music that was played throughout my meal. We started with an order of sweet potato donut holes, which I was very skeptical about actually, but they were pretty tasty, I just wasn't a big fan of the breading. We then had a bit of a wait for our food because it was very packed for the 4th, and we enjoyed some mimosas in the mean time. Those mimosas definitely had champagne and SPLASH of juice! Lol but I liked it! My husband had the steak(medium) and eggs and I the French toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and hashbrowns. The French toast was very thick again I enjoyed the breading but not so much the crust. The eggs were great nice and fluffy as well as the has browns. Our server Chris was very attentive and I definitely enjoyed my time here! I would recommend for others to try this place as well!

Monty Cristo with fruit

Pleasantly surprised by the food. I did enjoy the Fried chicken sandwich, but the chicken was more of a cutlet than a breast (you can see how thin it is in the picture). We did get a glass of water where the cup smelled unclean. The server exchanged it, no problem. It was noon on a Thursday and it seemed they were understaffed. The server we did have was kind.

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.

Cup of pork, chili and grit fritters. The chili was a bit spicy. Nice with the fritters.
Sonya B.

What an incredible experience! I was visiting from LA and wanted some authentic southern food. (I'm from Georgia) Everything we tried was exceptional. I started with the fried green tomatoes and then had grit fritters with a cup of the pork chili. Delicious, all of it. My mom loved the chicken and waffles and my son loved the burger. I had a boozy cappuccino thing that was also delightful.

Short Rib Grits
Joshua P.

This is such a cute neighborhood restaurant. We ordered the fried green tomatoes (they were okay). They could have been seasoned more. I ordered the BLT and breakfast potatoes (the breakfast potatoes stole the show ) the BLT was good as well. The Short Rib and grits were amazing. My goodness. It was delicious. I ordered the rum punch and it will get you were ever you trying to go . I felt amazing when I left here. My friend ordered the Mimosa flight and she felt amazing. Our server was extremely nice ( Im so upset I can't remember his name) but he was the best. They closed at like 2pm but they don't rush you out if you are there ahead of time. I highly recommend this place. It was a wonderful experience.

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
Erica E.

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.

Menu
Christian E.

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.

I visited the Delilah's location in South Downtown Atlanta and was blown away by THE best fried…read morechicken that I've ever had. I love fried chicken (who doesn't?) but typically find other breading to be bland and oily and I usually pull it off to get to the juicy meat...but not at Delilah's. It was the perfect combination of crunchy and flavorful and I was sure to gobble up any small bit that fell on my plate. The collard greens are also incredible. Not too salty not too saturated. Just perfect. I think I'm going to order a take home portion for holiday dinners at home because I can't make them better than this! The service and personal experience was off the charts and exactly what southern hospitality is all about. My husband and I chatted with Jason, the owner, during our entire meal and learned so many cool things about their family and Delilah's story. I will be going back again and again and again. Definitely plan to take out of towners that are eager to find good authentic soul food.

The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately, that was the highlight of our visit. The food was…read moreoverpriced for the quality, and everything we ordered was fried excessively hard. The biggest disappointment was the service. Our hostess seemed completely disorganized, repeatedly forgot parts of our order, and somehow ended up charging me for both my meal and someone else's. The lack of attention and organization was frustrating, especially considering the prices. This restaurant has potential, but management really needs to take a closer look at staffing, training, and overall customer service. With better leadership and more attentive employees, I believe the experience could improve significantly. I might consider giving it another chance, but based on this visit, I can't say it was worth the money. I expected much better.

Buttermilk Kitchen is exactly what you would imagine a restaurant would be like if your Southern…read moregrandmother knew how to operate a restaurant. SO good. Great grits. Great omelettes. 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.

I came earlier this year for the first time and had the warmest waitress, Lindsey. She was so…read morepleasant and friendly. She even told me that I couldn't leave without trying a biscuit and brought one complimentary. I would give that experience a 5 and I would give my last experience a 3 but let's just do an average. 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.

WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ???…read more It was a HIT I have been dying to try this place out for years and I figured I planned a lunch with a friend so we could spend the afternoon chitchatting and this was the perfect spot. So we were warmly greeted and then taken to a quiet table in the corner that had the whitest tablecloths. It looked rather chic Then we had the best server. She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. 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. They have valet parking that is only $2. Great place to visit. Until next time.

The food definitely tastes homemade, and everything arrives hot and fresh. I've visited twice now,…read moreand the quality has been consistent both times. 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.

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.
