On the last day of my road trip to Atlanta, I was looking for somewhere to get Louisiana-style…read moreFrench Creole food near Jackson Airport. I love this type of food, so after searching around and checking out the menu beforehand, I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the gumbo, which was very good, along with the crawfish étouffée. I finished everything off with the bread pudding, and that was amazing. Overall, the food definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant was less than half a mile from the hotel where I was staying, and there was plenty of parking. When you walk in, there's a dining area to the right with a nice outdoor view. As you continue farther inside, there are two larger dining areas with plenty of seating. You can also see into part of the kitchen where they're cooking, and there's a large bar area off to the right. The service was good and quick, and the food was excellent. Everything came out without a long wait, and I really enjoyed the whole meal. If you enjoy Louisiana, Cajun, or Creole-style food and you're in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out. I would definitely come back, especially for that bread pudding!

Edit: Actually, I think you can eat inside, but there's not much room for that. Takeout is the best plan, IMHO.

While you need no condiments on this seafood, we did try the sassy sauce which only enhances the flavor. We both ordered the seafood platter that came with fish, shrimp, oysters served with fries and hush puppies. Worth the drive and the wait. I will be adding this to my list of favorites for a quick casual bite

Spondivits is still Spondivits... and that's exactly why I keep going back…read more It may not have quite the same pop-culture buzz it had years ago when Jeezy was rapping about eating at Spondivits four times a week , but if you actually care about good seafood, this place still deserves its flowers. I've been eating here for years, and what I appreciate most is the consistency. We've watched seafood-boil restaurants pop up everywhere, with seafood tossed into bags and completely buried under oil, butter substitutes, salt and seasoning until you can barely taste what you're eating. Spondivits has never needed to do all of that. The seafood actually tastes like seafood. It's fresh, high-quality, properly cooked and seasoned without being overwhelmed. Even their seafood buckets are served with actual garlic butter, which makes such a difference. The restaurant itself emphasizes fresh seafood simply steamed and served with garlic butter, and that straightforward approach is part of why it has lasted. On this visit, I had a seafood bucket with lobster and crab, and it was exactly what I wanted. Fresh, flavorful and cooked properly without being drowned in seasoning. My girlfriend had the fish of the day, which I believe was branzino, prepared blackened with vegetables. Amazing. Perfectly cooked fish, great seasoning and vegetables that actually complemented the meal instead of feeling like an afterthought. Their menu does offer a catch of the day that can be prepared blackened, grilled, fried or broiled with rice and vegetables. I also have to mention some longtime favorites: The cheese bread. The garlic bread. The gumbo. And I recently learned something I wish I had known years ago. Some ingredients in the gumbo can apparently be removed. I don't eat oysters, and one of the gentlemen helping us let me know that oysters could be left out. That immediately made the gumbo a much better option for me. Another reason I keep Spondivits in the rotation is the location and the hours. Whenever I stay at the Renaissance Concourse near the Atlanta airport, this is an easy go-to. And when almost everything else is closed, Spondivits is still serving a full seafood menu late into the night. Their published hours currently run until 4 a.m., including the kitchen. It also travels surprisingly well. I've enjoyed the food dining in and taking it to go. Is it trendy? Not really. Does it need to be? Absolutely not. Spondivits has been doing seafood since 1979, and sometimes the old-school place that has been doing the same thing for decades is exactly where you need to go. Fresh seafood. Real butter. Great late-night option. Good portions. Consistent quality. And I'll take that over seafood swimming in a plastic bag full of seasoned oil any day. Seafood: Freshness: Late-night availability: Atlanta nostalgia: Cheese bread: ALWAYS YES. Spondivits is still one of my go-to seafood spots in Atlanta.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND UNACCEPTABLE!…read more I am beyond disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. While dining, a ROACH was literally crawling on my sister! As horrifying as that experience was, what made matters worse was the manager's complete lack of concern. We brought this disgusting situation to management's attention, and the manager did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! A customer should NEVER have to experience a cockroach crawling on them while dining at a restaurant. This raises serious concerns about cleanliness, sanitation, and the overall standards of this establishment. The lack of accountability and professionalism from management was just as disturbing as the incident itself. I've attached a photo so others can see exactly what we encountered. Customers deserve a clean, safe dining environment and management that takes serious complaints seriously. I would strongly encourage anyone considering dining here to THINK TWICE! This experience was completely unacceptable, and management's response made it even worse.

The real problem arose when the bill arrived. The fish sandwich, advertised on the menu for $10 (valid Monday through Thursday from 12:00 to 4:00 PM), was charged at $19 when we dined there on Thursday, September 3rd. We were never informed of a price change when ordering. When I brought the discrepancy to our server, she consulted the manager, who only discounted one of the two sandwiches. Because we were on a tight schedule, we paid the remaining balance and left. Automatic gratuity is standard practice at many restaurants these days, but if customers are expected to pay it without exception, the establishment needs to deliver accurate billing and attentive service in return. False advertising on menu pricing paired with reluctancy from management to correct an issue on their end makes it difficult to justify supporting this spot in the future.

So far, I've had food here twice in the month of June and will definitely be back. My first visit I had the 2-piece red snapper dinner with mac n cheese and fried okra $21.87. My second visit I had the 2-piece whiting dinner with mac n cheese and fried okra $17.87. I have also tried their bean pie $4.39. My last visit I added on a side of flounder $4.99 and it came with two small pieces. I didn't really like the red snapper, but it's a personal preference, it's a little too thick for me and I didn't like that they kept the skin at the bottom when they fried, I don't want any skin on my fish when I eat it. The whiting was very good and fried just how I like it. So, make sure you select the correct cooking options when you place your harder, I selected hard and crispy. The flounder was my favorite; it was perfectly fried and seasoned. I'm going to get the flounder dinner next time with coleslaw. Mac n cheese is okay, not great just okay, I add a little jerk seasoning to it when I get home. The okra is very good! I also enjoy their bean pie; it has a nice spice flavor and the perfect serving. I do not like their tartar sauce, it's not thick, it's too watery and doesn't have a taste that I personally care for. The hot sauce is all I need or I add a little siracha to their tartar sauce and it's perfect. I place my order online and it's always ready when I arrive. There is free parking and it's never a problem entering or exiting the lot. When you enter go to the pick up area to the left if you placed your order online. Service was friendly both times. There is sitting inside and outside.

We recently placed a catering order from Ikhlas Seafood & Pastries for a coworker's birthday…read morecelebration, and it worked out really well. We ordered the 100-wing special along with a tray of fries. The wings were $79.99, which I thought was a great value, especially since you're able to choose up to four different flavors. We went with Sweet Sassy, Mild, Teriyaki, and Lemon Pepper Dry, so everyone had a little something to choose from. The fries deserve their own shout-out because the tray is huge. I'd easily say it feeds about 8-10 people, making it a great addition to a group order. The woman at the counter was very kind and also gave me a helpful heads-up that the fries don't come pre-seasoned. She pointed me to the seasoning station so I could add seasoning before taking the order back to work, which I really appreciated. As for the wings, everyone enjoyed them. Even though I'm usually a Lemon Pepper person, the Teriyaki ended up being my favorite of the bunch. It was packed with flavor and definitely stood out to me. Since this visit was strictly for a catering order, I'd love to come back and try a meal from the regular menu. If the catering was any indication, I'm looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer.

After a long wait we received our Catfish nuggets were tasty but very greasy and needed to be fried crisper as well. And blueberry Biscuit bite which reminded us of New Orleans beignets.
