I came in on a Saturday, about an hour before closing and was seated right away. The hostess who sat me brought out water and I gave me a chance to browse the menu; the server wasn't too far behind. I ordered an iced chai latte and the breakfast bowl. The latte was super milky, I had to ask for extra chai. The bowl was good. I would like to return to check out their Sunday jazz.
Whew we called in orders for Sunday due to wanting to relax, advised it was a 25 min wait for the food to be ready, when we got there we had to wait an additinal 20-25 mins. The place was BUSY, I think from 2-4 they have a Jazz band in the establishment on Sundays. Its not super big in the resturant and the parking is limited. I had to park at the Mexican resturant next door. The shrimp & grits always a 10/10. The catfish could have been fried harder, put it back in the air fryer once I got home. The mac and cheese would be 8/10 & the greens 7/10. Go check the out, I'm sure its slower during the week!
I found out about Cenacle Bistro on Instagram and thought my wife and I give it a try. They have plenty of parking so that is a plus. The customer service was great until the end part of our dining experience. I ordered the waffles with grits and hash brown casserole. All of it was delicious! Food came out timely and was very flavorful. The restaurant started getting busy so this is a well known local spot. Our service started to go downhill when our waitress disappeared. Overall it was a great experience and would like to come back to try other food items.
Ordered off Uber eats after hearing rave reviews of this place. The food is delicious. Glad I got a chance to try it.
WOW! What a great breakfast place. From the moment you walk in the team is supper friendly and helpful. Overall it is a cool place, the ambiance is a vibe. They have seating options both inside and outside. I ordered the Hash-brown casserole with the breakfast bowl and the honey chicken biscuit. Both were great! The hash-brown casserole is a must! The flavor was wonderful and the addition of the fried egg, bacon and cheese only elevated it. The biscuit was flakey and the chicken had great flavor...add the egg and cheese and it just took it over the top. I also got a latte, which was nice to have during the wait for the food. It is not fast food, it definitely took a bit to get my food, not a complaint because it was absolutely with the wait, just a heads up if you are in a rush. It may have just been the morning I was there, but they had plenty of staff, so I think they care so it takes some time.
We visited this restaurant because of a review we saw on Tik Tok. This place doesn't take reservations so if you go on a weekend be prepared to wait. We waited 38 minutes to be seated which wasn't too bad but we waited 40 minutes for our food. I ordered French Toast and a breakfast bowl. The French toast was dry and looked burnt. The breakfast bowl had minimal cheese, 1 fried egg and 1 sausage. My husband ordered an omelet and oatmeal. He said the omelet was good but the oatmeal was very plain. I probably won't return.
OMG! I love it when a last minute decision becomes a great choice!! we will be back and probably sooner rather than later. Everything was excellent. Service was fabulous- Tam could not have been better. Black excellence in service and food quality. Best oatmeal hands down and the spinach quiche has a great texture and flavor. Don't sleep on this. Hubby said the beef sausage is good- new experience for him--"Excellent" he said.
We came here after not being seated at another popular brunch spot! We were so glad we came!!! Most of us are from out of town. They welcomed us in, took our orders and served us with a smile and SUPERB customer service. Everything was good and the only good left was from folks who were full! Note, the chicken salad has craisins in it. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Try everything! Salmon Croquettes, shrimp n grits, omelets! All delicious. We have nothing but great things to say about this spot. Great work and many blessings for success!
Easy to find, great parking, there was a rug at the door that the host watched us trip over and didn't apologize or move it. Took a while for the waitress to address us even though there were only 3 other parties in the establishment. When she did come over she was friendly and explained the menu very well. She didn't bring our drinks over, she completely forgot. We only ordered two waters and a coffee. Then I ordered the vegan dish which included vegan sausage which I ordered. My plate came out with vegan bacon instead. I requested my sausage and heard the cook say we don't have it. I've had much better vegan dishes. I took it from two stars to 3 because the other person I was with said her breakfast casserole was delicious! This was a great find but I won't be back.
Food was great and service was even better! Make sure to ask for Tam :) will definitely be back
I had one of the worst food experiences ever here. My party of 9 was immediately sat outside and waited 1 hour before my kids plates came out. I wasn't informed that there was a long wait on the grits and waiting another 45 minutes for food. Eventually the salmon grits entree I ordered came out but it was in a half filled small to-go bowl. After complaining to both the server and the manager, the owners finally came out and took the grits off of my ticket. 2 hours of waiting and I didn't eat. Never again!
In the 5 years we have lived in the area we have been here only twice. Once in year Ike and it was a terrible experience. Took almost 4 hours for brunch for two people. Food was incorrect. We were the only ones when we arrived and people who arrived after us were served and left before we ever even got our food. We decided it was terrible and never planned to come back. Skip to this past weekend we are in the middle of packing up our home and moving and really wanted a breakfast sandwich for a brunch break but didn't want fast food like Dunkin. So we decided to give it a try. We arrived post church hours so it was busy but we were seated outside immediately. Staff was far more friendly this time. Still not very quick but much faster by far (we were there about 2 hours which is reasonable) our services whose name I did not catch could not have been nicer. We ordered a hash bowl (4/10-it was kind of mushy and the plated they served it in kind of made it look like dog food unfortunately) and French toast which was fine. Nothing special (5/10) but the star was the chicken honey biscuit. That was excellent (10/10) I may go back for another this week for much. My husband had major order envy. I do restored asking for it to come with a larger plate Becca's service it on a Saucer and it is messy. I will want to mention that while we were there the tarp that covered the patio tore and that sent what I assume was collected old dirty rain water shooting down. We *all* got lucky and it didn't hit anyone or any tables but it was very close to us. They offered to let us move tables but it was over by the time they noticed and did so so we stayed where we were assuming it would not happen again. Had that hit us it would have ruined our time as it was dirty water...you may want to consider adding a real roof or removing tarp and letting it just be an uncovered pergola to avoid future issues - had it actually hit us I would ahve expected our meal to be comped so we could leave to go shower immediately...thankfully this is not a conversation or experience we had to have but please consider making needed changes in the future.
Cute little bistro with a nice outdoor area. I had a catfish po' boy, and not only was it beautiful to look at, but it was delicious! The servers were very nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend and will be back when I am in the area. I really want to come back and try the breakfast.
Cenacle Bistro is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. I'm so happy we stumbled upon this hidden gem. My friend and I both ordered the shrimp and grits and they were overly good. I've never had shrimp and grits with an Alfredo-style sauce, but now I get it... I don't want it any other way. The service was just as good as the food. Our waitresses were super kind and friendly. We were seated outside on such a beautiful day but they didn't forget us. They stayed attentive and that made the whole experience even better. My only gripe was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte. The flavor was there, but having actual cereal in the drink wasn't my favorite once it got soggy. The texture through the straw was a little off. I think a cinnamon sugar version would've been perfect instead. But honestly, that's minor. I would definitely go back again and again and again. Such a gem! read more
So I wanted to give them a high rating because their food was good. Let me start by saying that. I'd absolutely order them for delivery or to-go. The pancakes were HUGE but so soft & perfectly sweet. The shrimp & grits were flavored well, maybe just a hair too salty, but not to the point where I wouldn't order them again. Their waffles were a hit too. Everything tasted real good & I was satisfied with food. Now the reason they're getting a 3 is because the experience/service was not up to par in the least. We arrived around 2 (they close at 4). They are a smaller restaurant, so while there were minimal tables initially, the crowd was starting to dwindle. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated, then waited about 10 minutes until a server approached our table. Since we'd already been waiting, we decided to just order drinks & food at one time. Our food came fairly quick & that was it. My friend wanted another drink but decided it wasn't worth it after the time waiting to order it. I needed a refill on my water (never got it). The server walked by twice after I asked, but just kept forgetting. She did apologize after the 2nd time & asked if I still wanted it. At that point, it'd been almost an hour & I was finished anyway so I said no thanks. She asked if we at least wanted to-go water. I declined but my friend said yes. She never got the to-go water. The server was very nice & there were even other staff walking by, but getting anything after our food was impossible. It even took forever to request the check. If they were busy or packed, we could have understood-- but being that we came close to closing & could see how many other people were there, the constant waiting made no sense. Like I said before, the food was food so I'd order them to-go, but I probably won't be back to dine in. read more

I had a really nice experience at The Cenacle Bistro! I ordered the catfish and grits and a caramel iced latte. I requested that my catfish be fried crispy, and they definitely delivered! The fish was well-seasoned, crispy, and flavorful, while the grits were creamy and delicious. The caramel iced latte was also really good not too sweet, but just right. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. She took the time to explain the menu and even gave us some helpful recommendations on what to order. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a great experience. I would definitely visit The Cenacle Bistro again! read more

This is one of THE BEST spots for grits I've had in the greater Atlanta area Now the wait for food was longer than expected esp since it wasn't a packed restaurant. But once I had those cheese grits it made up for the wait lol. I will be back for the catfish and cheese grits for sure. The breakfast platter was good and I liked the size of the pancakes but Cracker Barrel still had the best and these came in Top 3 . Definitely loved supporting a black owned establishment and will be returning plus letting others know of this gem. read more

Such a cute coffee shop with a cozy vibe! I had the turkey bacon breakfast bowl so flavorful and filling. I also tried the iced white chocolate coffee, which was a great recommendation from the cook and did not disappoint. There's parking available, which is always a plus, although I did have a little trouble finding the location at first. Definitely worth checking out once you find it! read more

The workers are super friendly. They all greeted me and were full of smiles. My server took my order and even after he placed my order another employee came to check on me to make sure I was being served. That was sweet. My server was very nice too. I went around 1230pm so it was more on the empty side but had a very relaxing environment. This was the best omelette I had in a very long time!! The eggs had such a pretty color. I wondered if it was vegan eggs with how pretty it was. But my oh my. I need to bring more people to eat here. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know. I will definitely be back again. They all told me goodbye when I left too. All around I was very impressed with my experience here. Keep the employees as happy as you do owner. read more
My fiancé, cousin, and I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before going to six flags so we decided to check this place out. It was a cute cafe style restaurant and we were able to get seated right away. Our server was great. I got the honey chicken egg sandwich and my cousin got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and both of our biscuits were tasty but extremely buttery. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito and he liked it but said it was a bit too oily. Overall we did enjoy the meals and if we were in town again, we would go back. read more

Nice little breakfast place for a quick bite. Parking is easy and service was quick. The biscuits for the sandwich was a bit too buttery and the breakfast burrito was pretty oily. The flavor was still great though. Would go again given the chance. read more
