    To-go container mac and cheese
    Michelle L.

    Best Mac & Cheese ever. I like to consider myself a mac & cheese connoisseur of sorts. Most mac & cheese is typically gooey and cheesy but not anything truly exemplary. However, this mac & cheese is truly phenomenal. I have had a lot of mac & cheese in my life and genuinely, nothing compares to Ok Cafe's mac & cheese. Incredible cheesy perfection. When dining in I'll usually get their thanksgiving plate with turkey/sweet potato. I like that their turkey isn't dry... I also love how they consider mac & cheese a "vegetable" on their menu. Their cornbread is also good (your classic crumbly cornbread). Grilled cheese is also solid. Honestly, haven't had anything here that I wouldn't mind ordering again. Such a homey spot and always consistent food and good service. I cannot stress how delicious their mac & cheese is. One of my favorite meals ever.

    Mary Mac's Tea Room, Bones, the Varsity, OK Cafe. If you are from Atlanta you know these icons. OK Cafe is one of those Atlanta institutions that, when you hear the name, you know EXACTLY where you are. In the heart of the ritzy West Paces Ferry area of Atlanta/ Buckhead, just off I-75 South. I have been coming here for 39 years since the beginning when visiting my Aunt and Uncle off of West Paces Ferry. This is the quintessential diner/family spot with lots of comfort food options. My go to for dinner is usually pot roast or a burger. But we came for breakfast and they do breakfast RIGHT! Come hungry whenever you come! I had an omelette with potatoes and a biscuit and a short stack of griddle cakes. The griddle cakes were bigger than I've seen in most places. Fluffy and perfect! Our service has always been excellent, quick and efficient. The place is spotless! (Most recent score 100!) Lots of table sizes and great for large parties from what I could see. You will find some beautiful folk art and other pieces all over the walls. My favorite is the one I snapped below. Really cool textured painting of Atlanta showing the most identifiable spots in Atlanta. I cannot express enough how much I enjoy this place every time we come here. The food is always perfect and the service and decor are memorable. You must add this place if you ever visit Atlanta! It IS Atlanta.

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was crowded but we managed to get seated right away. The place remained me of an old school diner. Our waitress was awesome and gave us recommendations and kept our drinks full. From the time we ordered to the time our food showed up was less than ten minutes. The food was great and the portion size was large. Overall it was a good experience but next time I'll order from the takeaway side. The takeaway side has items I like that's not on the menu. For example, fried okra.

    Admittedly I don't get the hype. Old cafe with simple food. Stopped in briefly and tried tenders, fries, jalapeños fried cheese, and more. Lots of unrecognizable sauces etc. Didn't try them but they do serve mimosas at least. Three stars for lovely server and clean bathroom.

    Finally made it to Ok Cafe which was amazing!! We came here after seeing a movie on a Saturday night and it was PACKED. We had to wait about 20-30 minutes for a table for 3. Once seated I got the house made cherry cola and omg it was stunning. You could tell it was homemade with the red tint and it was crisp and refreshing. For my meal I got the fried chicken with Mac and cheese and green beans it was so yummy. Delicious southern cooking in a charming restaurant. My only complaint was I wished the green beans were seasoned more. We split the strawberry shortcake for dessert and it was light and delicious. Yummy!

    My luncheon companion and I went to OK CAFE, a place I havent been to in a long time. It had a massive fire a few years back and had been rebuilt. WOWZA!!! It is now way larger than before but still has ample parking. We entered through the backdoor through their newly added cafeteria style to go room. There in addition to refrigerated cases, they had almost the whole lunch menu laid out. I saw what I ultimately ordered and it all looked fresh and yummy. The wait staff hustled with purpose and efficiency. The restaurant has a new room whose central theme is a huge tree coming up from the floor with money attached to all branches like leaves. They clearly wanted a dramatic focal point and they hit the mark. Their expanded curving lunch bar accommodates a lot of folks comfortably. The prices were mid range and the portions more than ample. Anytime of day oe night, OK is the OK place to get a fix for superb southern style home cooking.

    We had an OK time here! Arrived when there was almost no wait, but the process of putting yourself on their seating list was a little odd, since there were tons of people crowding around the sign in sheet to pay their bill. Once seated, the service was pretty good and the food was nicely prepared and offered in large portions. I would go back!

    This place is always busy!! Great food and service each and every time. I did realize this time that there is a bathroom in the back as well as the front.

    This place has been open for years and the food still delicious. Great place for comfort southern food . I had the meatloaf this time and it was juicy and full of flavor . Highly recommend for comfort southern food!

    OK Cafe is so cute! The interior is in a retro 50's style with cute booths and servers in old timey waitress and waiter clothes. The food is classic southern cooking. I had the country fried steak with Mac and cheese and collard greens. All were very tasty. The cornbread was very moist and delicious too. There is ample space inside and they have in big letters on the wall that you'll never have more than a 10 minute wait to be seated, which I found to be true even though I was there on a weekend. Next time in the Atlanta area, I'll definitely stop by again.

Some things never change, the portions are massive and the service is quick, friendly, and efficient. I ordered a club sandwich, my wife ordered a tomato with chicken salad, and our son ordered an egg sandwich. We ordered an appetizer of onion rings, which of course was a mistake due to the amount of food in our order. The onion rings came out first. Large order with ranch dressing. Crispy and hot. They were very good. Again, I understand that is really doesn't take much to prepare a club sandwich but it was very good and the bacon was crisp and smoky. My wife and son really enjoyed their meals and spoke of how delicious they were. Again, massive portions. Friday morning our son chose the Marietta Diner again and we had breakfast. I ordered the deluxe pancake breakfast with home fries. My wife ordered Eggs Benedict, and our son ordered pancakes and bacon. Unlike many places, these pancakes don't rely upon syrup or toppings for their only taste. they are simply good. Bacon was cooked perfectly for my taste. The home fries were delicious and a massive portion. Again, I could not finish everything. Our son agreed with me on the taste of the pancakes. My wife loved the Eggs Benedict with the only complaint, one egg was cooked perfectly runny and the other overcooked. Service was fast and efficient again. If you are in the area and looking for quality food, good service, and a huge variety to satisfy anyone in your group, this is the place to go.

They're about to hit 70 years this May, and it makes sense the second you walk in. The inside is about as classic diner as it gets. Comfortable booths, old-school feel, and a front counter with snacks, shirts, and little items for sale that just add to the charm. The staff is what really takes it over the top. Nikki has been my server multiple times, and she's amazing. She's usually singing or whistling along to whatever music is playing, and it honestly puts you in a good mood without you even realizing it. Service like that is rare. Food-wise, I've tried several things now, and everything has been great, but here are my top standouts: The catfish is one of my favorites. It comes in strips, fried perfectly, and packed with flavor. Chicken and waffles are excellent. The waffle is crispy on the outside and soft inside instead of fluffy, and it works really well. The chicken itself is seriously flavorful -- not just crispy, but seasoned really well all the way through. But the biggest surprise for me: The country ham with red-eye gravy. I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best ham I've ever had. It's thinly sliced, so you don't have to deal with a thick, chewy cut, and it's full of flavor. The red-eye gravy that the ham is marinated in (which I was told is a family recipe) takes it to another level. They also give you extra on the side to dip. If you mix that ham with over-easy eggs and hash browns, then grab a bite with a biscuit... that's one of the best breakfast bites I've had in a long time. And to top it all off, it just pairs perfectly with a nice, cold Diet Coke. Something about that combo just works. And to be clear, it's not just one or two good items -- everything I've had here has been great. I've also tried the omelet, the chicken biscuit with egg and cheese, and the country fried steak, and they've all been consistently delicious. They have a large breakfast menu, and I still haven't even gotten into lunch yet. Only thing to keep in mind is parking. There is a lot on the side, but it fills up quickly since other businesses share the area. If you come at a busy time, it might take a minute to find a spot. Overall, this is one of those places you keep coming back to. Spots like this are part of the community and deserve the support. Wishing them another 100 years.

Silver Skillet is exactly the opposite of modern brunch and breakfast. Having opened in 1956 and having served as a backdrop for countless films and tv shows, it preserves the most classic diner experience that remains in Atlanta. Not only does it feel like stepping into a movie set, but the experience of being around the people who worked here their whole life and the most classic execution of every detail in preparation is what makes Silver Skillet so special. Let's make sure to love it for what it is and preserve it. If it is not someone's cup of tea, nobody is dragging them back here to eat deep fried pork chops every day.
