    Straight forward menu, basic but delicious chicken with a few sides. Love how tender the chicken is and the huge portions they give you. Definitely worth it

    Chicken Finger Sandwich
    Mary Kathryn S.

    This place has not changed a single bit in 15 years. I grew up going to Roasters, but the location by my home was relocated. My boyfriend and I stopped here while apartment hunting and we absolutely loved it. I got the chicken finger platter and he got the chicken finger sandwich and they both hit the spot. The price for the food is unbeatable and we had our meals within 20 minutes of being seated. It is so wholesome remembering something from your childhood and it being the exact same experience. Service, experience, and food quality LOVE!

    Half rack ribs. I cut each rib that's why it looks like that! Ribs were awesome!

    Excellent food! Food was tasty! Service was great and food came out fast. Place was spacious and had a lot of seating. Place was clean as well as the restrooms. Friendly staff.

    Peach cobbler (front)   crisp (back)
    Kevin N.

    Hunting for the best peach cobbler in Atlanta and this place popped up on one of the places to go. The menu has the homemade peach cobbler and it was fair. A little too sweet with the cinnamon but lack the crunch of a crumble or pie. I needed more of that. The crisp was the star for the 2 items. It was quite pleasant. If I was in the area, I'd go back for dessert.

    Quick service. Good food. Old diner ambiance, which I totally love! I'm kicking myself since it took me this long to try this place out. It's your standard old school American food. Nothing over engineered. Rotisserie was juicy and tasty. But between here and kid cashew, I'd say kid cashew's chicken is the winner. Although this rotisserie is more of a 'traditional' variation - meaning, nothing too fancy - a good overall classic. Also, when it comes to side items, this place kicks Kid Cashew's butt haha. I watched a guy at a next table only eat side items (which they have a 'veggie plate'), and I was like - this dude must be vegetarian. NOPE - it's because their side items are good. It's very homey. All in all, it gives me a Grandma Rudine type of food - lol. If you get my drift. But yeah - i can dig it.

    I grew up right around the corner from this strip mall (the parking is an absolute nightmare. Maybe not quite as bad as towards the Roasters end, but the narrow slanty-spots aisle/road nearest the building around the middle/Trader Joe's section is just horrible.) It was a really sunny, fall afternoon and I wanted to eat lunch on a patio, and while the ambiance of Roasters' patio isn't all that great (parking lot view), the food and service all but made up for it. The portions, price, and taste of my lunch was amazing, and the server (can't recall his name) was friendly and prompt. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as some of the local BBQ places that I frequently do carry-out from, but for how much food we got in our entrees and its price, it was pretty stiff competition. I'd gladly go back again, mostly for the bbq pork, chicken, collards and corn bread. (The black eyed peas and the broccoli were severely under-seasoned, but the rest of the things were so good, all I needed was to fork different bites together.)

    Quarter dark meat with mac and fries!
    David G.

    Came here on a Saturday night around 6 pm and although the place was busy we were seated at once. The place is casual and has a family friendly vibe, so seems like the kind of place people would also go to during the week for an easy meal. Our waitress was great, on point checking up on us but also giving us a moment when we needed to look through the menu. We started out with a couple of rolls, trying both the yeast and cornbread, and although both were tasty the cornbread was the hands down winner. For my main course I got the quarter dark with mac and fries. The chicken tasted just like store bought rotisserie chicken, which I guess is the point, but not something I would order again. Mac n cheese was fine but nothing special, so would try another side in the future as they have a ton of options. Really enjoyed the fries with seasoning on.

    Chicken Finger Sandwich and Mac n cheese
    LaVonda A.

    Ordered thru Grubhub and the food is good. Rotisserie chicken was very tender and flavorful. The lemon pepper wings were most lemon and no pepper. Other half enjoy the bbq wings and chicken sandwich.

    Chicken quesadilla with sautéed veggies
    Sandra B.

    They did it again. Our food was delicious and the service was excellent as always. I ordered a chicken quesadilla with veggies (peppers and onions only) that I asked to be sauteed until soft. I omitted the broccoli and corn. Perfectly cooked. Special requests don't bother them. The quesadilla was hot and gooey without the contents falling out. The portion size was enough for two. My daughter had a grilled chicken Caesar salad with their homemade poppyseed dressing. She always gets this so it must be that good. I can never leave without getting a slice of their homemade key lime pie. So creamy and the tart is pleasantly just right! Roasters is ideal for family, group, and solo visits. I'm already craving another quesadilla.

While I know many come for the food, I personally make the 25-minute drive for one thing: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Or at least, I used to. Lately, it seems like something has changed in the process. The cheesecake hasn't been setting properly, and the cream cheese isn't fully blended into the sweet potato, leaving noticeable chunks. The flavor, once rich and decadent, has also diminished, making me question if it's still worth the trip. That said, I've heard the rest of the food is still solid, so if you're craving Southern comfort food, it may still be worth checking out. But for me, unless the cheesecake returns to its former glory, I might have to sit this one out.

    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.

    I was mostly interested because apparently Oprah Winfrey called it the "best Mac and Cheese in the…read morenation". Mine tasted closer to Mac and Egg than it did cheese. Very eggy texture and not much cheese taste. Everything else was nothing to write home about. The fried chicken was good but only like a step above Safeway's fried chicken. I don't even know what to say about the fries and cornbread. Water was like $3. Located in a food court and kinda pricey. Even the parking wasn't free despite having tons of open spots.

Unfortunately, our excitement quickly faded before we were even seated. When I walked into the restaurant, I was completely ignored by a young blonde employee named Claudia who was standing behind the counter in the waiting area. She looked directly at me and continued what she was doing without so much as a greeting or an acknowledgment. A simple, "Good morning, someone will be right with you," would have gone a long way. Since no one else was in the lobby and I noticed a clipboard on the counter, I politely asked if there was a waitlist. Claudia responded with an attitude that she "wasn't the hostess." I calmly asked where the hostess was, and she simply replied that she was clearing tables. There was no offer to help, no explanation of the process, and no attempt to assist me. She continued interacting with other staff members while I stood there feeling like an inconvenience. Thankfully, another employee who appeared to be a waiter noticed me. He immediately picked up the same clipboard that had been sitting on the counter, took my name and phone number with a cheerful attitude, and let me know it would be about a 15-minute wait. His professionalism completely contrasted with the poor customer service I had just experienced. Once seated, our waiter was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was also very good. I ordered the Chicken Sausage Scramble with hash browns, and it was delicious. My friend ordered the Catfish and Grits and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The food and our waiter helped redeem the experience, but first impressions matter. Management should ensure that every employee understands that providing basic courtesy and hospitality is everyone's responsibility, not just the hostess's. Even if greeting guests or managing the waitlist wasn't Claudia's primary role, there was no excuse for being dismissive or rude to someone walking through your front door. Alpharetta has no shortage of excellent brunch spots with both great food and outstanding customer service. Sadly, because of the way I was treated before I was even seated, I won't be returning to The Southern Porch. I also won't feel comfortable recommending it to friends or family. It's disappointing because the kitchen and our waiter did their jobs well, but one employee's attitude overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable brunch.
