The Jolly Rancher is just too big. A giant chicken cutlet with avocado half, two eggs, large bacon strips, and a giant heaping of jalapeno ranch. Sauce and toppings went everywhere on my first bite. Smash the sandwich together and cut it into sections. It tastes great though. The loaded fries had cheese, sauce, and real bacon. The loaded fries are a meal themselves.

I was born and raised in Atlanta, but I am a first-generation American señorita. Both sets of my…read moregrandparents, along with my mother and father, came from Cuba in the early days before Castro's catastrophic revolution. I AM CUBANA PURA Y CON ORGULLO. En mi alma llevo tabaco y café con leche. En mis ojos y de los cuentos de mi madre y mis abuelos, puedo imaginar ese mar azul y bello. En mis oídos puedo escuchar aquellos Versos Sencillos, nacidos del corazón de José Martí and later sung so beautifully by Celia Cruz... and again by Willy Chirino. Cubans are passionate, affectionate people by nature, and for us, food has never been just food. Food is family. Food is memory. Food is home. Every summer when I was growing up, we made the long 12-hour drive from Atlanta to Miami to visit my dad's parents, his four older brothers, all of my cousins, and our Cuban family and friends. We usually broke the trip up into two days, staying in some cheap little motel somewhere around Gainesville and, later, Ocala (we had more money by then and felt like royals going from Days Inn to a Hilton.) And as kids, we always knew when we were finally getting close to Miami. We started seeing Cuban restaurants pop up here and there. Then came Calle Ocho. Croquetas. Pastelitos. Empanadas. Medianoche sandwiches. The smells. The sounds. The flavors. That feeling of, we're here. And when it was time to make the long haul back to Atlanta, everybody in our Cuban family who lived in Georgia already had their requests ready. Our car would literally be packed with boxes of pastelitos, especially pastelitos de guayaba y queso, to bring home and share. Because back then, you simply could not find that kind of authentic Cuban food in Atlanta. For years, that was how we brought a little piece of Miami -- and really, a little piece of Cuba -- back home with us. Then one day, my best friend Alicia , una Cubanita TREMENDA, took me to Buena Gente. I remember walking in and immediately thinking: Oh my gosh... I'm in Miami. The smell hit me first. Then the food. Then that familiar feeling I quickly realized I missed so much. Buena Gente didn't just remind me of Cuban food. It reminded me of my grandparents. My cousins. Those long summer drives. Calle Ocho. Boxes of pastelitos stacked in the car for the ride back to Atlanta. It felt familiar in a way that is hard to explain unless you grew up with food tied so deeply to family, culture, and memory. So when I tell you that I take Cuban food seriously, I mean it. And Buena Gente gets it. For this Atlanta-born Cubana, walking through those doors felt a little bit like coming home. AZÚCAR!!!

We entered through a random side door that comes from the market area but the front entrance is at the front of the building. Our server was pleasant and answered any questions we had about the menu. Their prices are a little high for breakfast/brunch food but the flavors and preparation make up for that. We had the blueberry pancakes (excellent!), the pretzel with avocado and egg (the egg is cold, but it was still great together), side of chicken sausage (the only thing I didn't care for but hubby liked), and a side of pork belly (so good! smoky and sweet). We also had a fresh juice (carrot, turmeric, ginger, and other juices I can't remember), and a mocha. It was also family friendly as there were a few families there. They have high chairs! We will be back! Bonus, Anne Quatrano was there keeping an eye on the place. Summerland is a keeper.

Came here on MLK to see if I can fulfill my conch salad craving and just to get a snack. We ordered…read morea conch salad and conch fritters. the conch salad, they dont skimp, and it is good! Very authentic from what I had while visiting bahamas more during cruise season while living in SoFlo (iykyk). There is a lot of conch in every bite. The flavor is refreshing, enough citrus to bring out the sweet essence of the conch, not fishy very fresh, it has a kick to it from the spicy peppers, but that can be adjusted I assume, but I am a firm believer of trying everything the first time as the chef intends it to taste like, it was good, definitely would order again. The conch fritters, I am not usually a fritter fan bc all too often the batter is too dense, but let me tell you, the fritters were bussin! They were airy, fluffy, not try and dense and a lot of conch in it as well! The sauce was really good with it would definitely order again. The young lady at the register was super sweet snd very nice. Will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu. I rate it 5 because of the food and the customer service. It is meant to be more take out style it seems, so dont expect white sleeve service. However if you want a no frills no bs, hole in the wall with great food and nice people taking care of you. Definitely give them a try!

Unfortunately they were out of the Guava duff but I ordered the 6 piece Conch fritters. As seen in the picture there are only 4 conch fritters because I ate two before I remembered to take a picture. This was my first time trying conch fritters and they were really good. It came with a sauce that I didn't try because it tasted great by itself. It reminds me of saltfish fritters that we eat in Jamaica The lady that took my order was really welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be back to order the conch fritters again and try something else.
