I can't lie. I was extremely disappointed in my visit to Steve's BBQ…read more Now let me start by saying, I am a BBQ snob. I take BBQ seriously. So when I walked in and found out they did not have ribs, I almost needed a moment of silence. WHAT?! Yes, you read that right. A BBQ place with no ribs. According to the cashier, Steve's didn't have ribs that day. I let it slide because, at the time, they had only been open for a couple of weeks. I believe in giving new businesses grace, especially when they are still getting their rhythm together. They did have a nice little crowd seated inside, which was good to see. I wanted to support them. However, while the doors were open, the place did not feel fully ready from an ambiance standpoint. There was junk behind what looked like the soon to be bar area. Boxes and clutter were visible, and honestly, that takes away from the experience. It is hard to focus on the food when your eyes are trying to figure out if you are in a restaurant or the back room at a storage unit. They did have booths available for customers to sit and enjoy their food, so that was a plus. Since there were no ribs, I ordered a steak hoagie sandwich and asked for extra cheese. Well, the young lady forgot to put my order in, so I ended up waiting over 25 minutes for this hoagie. By the time I got it, I was ready to take a picture, sit in my car, and have my little food review moment. But NOPE. That could not happen because the sandwich was absolutely slathered in "special sauce." It was giving sauce with a side of sandwich. And after all that, there was no extra cheese, which was specifically what I asked for. I was disappointed for three main reasons: no ribs, the order was forgotten, and the sandwich was soggy. I did not even get pictures because I refused to touch my phone and risk turning it into a saucy crime scene. I will not order that sandwich again. One day, I may give Steve's another try because I would still like to actually try the ribs. You know, the BBQ item I expected a BBQ restaurant to have. Ok, that is all. Bye!

I noticed people weren't leaving or giving up on the line, they were staying and waiting, and to me that says the food must be good. Now let's get into the food... because this is where they really shine. I've had a lot of soul food around Atlanta, and I can honestly say flavor can be hit or miss depending on the place. But whoever is in that kitchen here, they are doing their thing. Everything tasted very homemade, like real deal, cooked with love type of food. The cornbread gave very much old school, just right. The peach cobbler? Absolutely outstanding. It's actually rare to find a restaurant peach cobbler that truly tastes homemade, and this one definitely did. That alone would make me come back. We ordered the beef meatloaf, mac and cheese, collard greens, lima beans, and dressing. The dressing was especially good, again very homemade and full of flavor. The only small thing I would mention is there wasn't any gravy on the dressing, and I would've loved that. The meatloaf was good, but could've used a bit more sauce since it was just a pinch overcooked. Outside of that, everything was really good. The food was flavorful, the portions were solid, and the prices were very affordable. Overall, I'd definitely rate this place highly. I truly enjoyed it and will be coming back. I'll also be recommending it to my family and friends for sure.

There's plenty of parking, but seating is limited since it's located inside a commercial kitchen building. I would consider this more of a great pickup-and-go spot. The team here was OUTSTANDING. When we walked in, the chef gave us some chicken wings to try, and man, they were GOOD! That immediately had us excited for the rest of our food. We ordered the catfish, fried shrimps and white fish with mac & cheese, green beans, and collard greens. I loved every bite. Everything was well seasoned, fried perfectly, and nicely presented. My only complaint was that the collard greens were a little too salty for my taste. Other than that, everything was delicious. I would personally give the food a 4.5/5, but the overall experience gets 5 stars from me. Great food, amazing hospitality, and the kind of small business you feel good supporting. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and craving some good soul food!
