    4 Veggie Plate: Collard Greens, Blackeye Peas, Mac n Cheese, Fried Okra. Comes with a cornbread muffin.
    La H.

    This review is solely based on the food, as I've never actually stepped foot inside the restaurant. First good point: they were open on Easter! We had a long day and just wanted to eat at home, so we decided to place a takeout order. After browsing the website, we settled on the Salisbury steak meal, a veggie plate, lemon pepper wings with fries, a chicken tender meal, and a slice of strawberry cake. Second good point: the website was user-friendly. However, when I tried to place the order, the payment wouldn't go through. My husband called the restaurant, and we were told they were having some technical difficulties with their system--but we could place the order over the phone instead. Third good point: the person we spoke to was friendly and helpful. The food was hot and fresh when my husband brought it home. Overall, everything was good--there were a few minor issues, but nothing that was a deal breaker: The mac and cheese was a bit dry, and the cheese wasn't fully melted. The collard greens were a little too salty, and the chicken tenders were pretty bland. The icing on the strawberry cake was also a bit too sweet for my taste--but that might just be personal preference. Other than that, everything was delicious. I'm looking forward to actually going inside next time, whether to dine in or get takeout.

    This supposed to be a BLT

    Service here was very slow. The cook and server both struggled with the idea that I wanted a BLT. The image is what they sent ...after it was remade because they put egg & cheese on it. The server & staff were kind. Just not the best experience trying to order a BLT. The restaurant smelled like old tortilla chips and a little like wet, old towels. Not the greatest experience, maybe I can at the wrong time.

    This is such a hidden gem in the heart of Austell. On my 2nd visit it's still the good, homemade taste that doesn't miss. I met with a friend & business associate for an early dinner. She had the fried chicken livers, mash potatoes and collard greens. I enjoyed the Buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. They were both served hot and fresh, tasted great and arrived quickly. Service is top tier with the host, servers, bartender and the entire crew checking in. The venue was decorated for Halloween (it was Nov 1st) but the space is pretty large to support private parties and regular diners. There's also a fully stocked bar for cocktails or a bite without taking a table. There's two areas in the back facing Austell Rd for private parties or groups. I could see book club, luncheons or a birthday party being celebrated here. Don't sleep on the South Cobb Diner - breakfast is served all day and leave room for dessert.

    CHOICE OF FOUR Green beans, Mac and cheese, broccoli casserole, fried squash

    Food was absolutely delicious. The waitress was very friendly. The food came out very quickly. The restaurant was very neat and clean. They had Christmas decorations up already! We were visiting from out of town. Wish we had this restaurant in Fl. I want the recipes!!!

    Food: Awesome see for yourself Service: I wasn't too sure if I should try this place as I normally go to a place around the corner however, I pushed myself to at least come look at the inside and menu to see if I was a good fit for my tastebuds. I can tell you everyone of the employees that passed by my table...were so polite and nice. I have been missed out on more than just good food but, also real southern hospitality. Ambiance: Clean, dark kind of intimate new-school cafe. It was better than I expected & next time I'm getting my car serviced...I will be back! Thanks SCD & keep up the awesomeness!

    Philly cheese steak omelette with potatoes
    Peggy M.

    This place never disappoints. I stopped in this morning for breakfast and had the Philly cheesesteak omelette with potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic and of course the ambience was very family oriented. Will definitely recommend this place.

    Side salad
    Jaden B.

    Overall, the food was good. The fried chicken was moist and tender, the mac was cheesy and flavorful, cornbread on point. I can't recall exactly what my brother got, but he raved about his food and said this was his favorite stop all weekend (it was our first visit to Atlanta). I personally didn't enjoy the coleslaw- it's chopped up so fine I'd almost call it minced, so it lacked the body/crunch I enjoy in a slaw; and I didn't love the jalapeño in it. The side salad was fresh and a good size! Loved that it still had croutons, egg etc even though it was a side. The cayenne ranch dressing is *hella* spicy- seriously, I like buffalo wings and typically enjoy a bit of spice on my food, but this had me tapping out and asking for a different dressing- I couldn't eat it. Our waitress was brisk, and seemed almost as if we were bothering her whenever she came to take our order/check on us. Service was my least favorite part of our dining experience here, but no idea if that's typical, specific to our waitress, or just an off night. Atmosphere was meh- decor and seating were boring and it had no real diner vibes (or any particular kind of vibes, really).

    Jumbo Fried Shrimp and Cheddar Cheese Grits
    Lu L.

    won't be disappointed. Had the shrimp and grits and was amazed how much flavor was in the grits. Waffles were hitting too. Will be definitely stopping by when I'm in the area to try other items on the menu!!!!

    Having an ice cold Coke while taking a look at the menu options!

    I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! I read reviews prior to making the decision to check this…read morespot out. For the most part, people seemed to enjoy it so I was convinced I should check it out. The restaurant is located inside of the Hilton airport Hotel. There is a secure parking lot that requires you to pull a ticket when you enter. The restaurant will validate the parking ticket for you ! When I walked in I was greeted by a staff member and seated immediately. Shortly after I was seated my wait staff came over and introduced herself. She took my drink order and said she would allow me time to look over the menu. I asked my wait staff her thoughts on the Mac and cheese. I am picky about eating Mac and cheese from places. Most don't know how to make real Mac & cheese ( if you know what I mean)! She told me it was pretty solid. - As such I ordered the following: Crab bisque Smoked chicken wing plate served with two sides: Mac & cheeses and asparagus were my picks! The crab bisque did take a long time to come out. It was so delayed that my main course came out shortly after the soup. It was not ideal, but I made it work! The crab bisque was solid. I would order it again. The wing plate also exceeded my expectations! I was impressed with the mac and cheese. The asparagus were large, which was concerning to me! Like how did they get so big? Steroids? Nonetheless, they were cooked to perfection! I did get the banana pudding to go- this was the only item I would not order again! It was basic and I only took a few bites and ended up trashing it . Overall I would reconned this spot! Service was spot on- and for a hotel restaurant the food is pretty good!

You're welcome! Also, Antonio is such a sweetheart and does a phenomenal job! There was a night when he had so many tables and handled the load with so much grace. I've been here for both family outings and girls' nights, and it works perfectly for either. Street parking is super easy to find, which is always a bonus. Last thing. Check out their event calendar! They've got some pretty fun stuff happening.
