Ummm... I didn't love the food, but I absolutely loved the ambiance and the staff. Everyone was…read morekind, friendly, and extremely accommodating, which made for a great overall experience. Now, let's talk about the food. Unfortunately, it just wasn't a hit for me. I ordered the fish and grits with a biscuit on the side. The grits were good, though I would have preferred them to be a bit creamier. Overall, I'd give them a 5/10. The fish was fried well and had a nice crispy texture, but it lacked seasoning and flavor. To me, it tasted mostly like cornmeal. As for the biscuit, it was dry and didn't come with butter or anything else to enhance it, so it fell a little flat. That said, the restaurant is in a great location, and the pricing is very reasonable. Maybe some of the other menu options are stronger choices. As a pescatarian, my options were somewhat limited, which may have affected my experience. Overall, I'd return for the atmosphere and excellent customer service.

My Bestfriend was in town and she mentioned she wanted some soul food. As I was thinking of where I…read morecould take her, I knew I had to take her to experience Lady Fannie Mae's Ultimate Fish Fry. Sitting in the Downtown Fairburn area, Lady Fannie Mae's Ultimate Fish Fry is super easy to get to and has convenient parking. I didn't tell her where we were going but I ensured she was in for a treat. Arriving at Lady Fannie Mae's Ultimate Fish Fry, the lunch crowd had gathered so there were a few people ahead of us. The young lady on the cash register was efficient and had a flow going so the line was moving. The restaurant was clean and smelled of Childhood Sunday memories which had my stomach smiling. The smell of good fish, good grease, and good seasonings was all I could smell to the point that I had to have a 2 piece Whiting combo with fries. Once at the register, I ordered my 2pc Whiting with fries fried hard and a sweet tea, got my receipt and took a seat to await my order. The service provided was warm and pleasant and fit perfectly with the southern charm of the decor of the restaurant. Lady Fannie Mae's Ultimate Fish Fry was spot on from visual to service and all things in-between. When they called my number, they delivered my plate to where I was sitting, opened it and my mouth, stomach, and eyes began to water. The food looked and smelled amazinggggggggg. I had no idea what kind of fish fry they use but it has to be homemade as the aroma of it is like nothing I have ever smelled before. I need this in a bag so I can use it at home. Taking my first bite of my fish, it was over. My soul was warmed, happy, and excited. And that was only the first bite. Lady Fannie Mae's Ultimate Fish Fry delivered a mouth pleasing, soul stirring experience that started at the mouth and settled in the stomach. The fish was a 10/10. The fries were a 10/10. The seasoning was spot on. The crispness of my fried hard request was spot on. The hard on the outside didn't compromise the natural tenderness of the whiting and married well. To the owner, cook, and staff of Lady Fannie Mae's Ultimate Fish Fry, Thank you. You are appreciated.

Hopefully they will switch it up and offer more variety of fish. The first time eating the fish is nice because, at least it's not fried. However, after many visits without a change, the thrill goes. Could be my taste buds, but doubtfully. If your favorite desert is vanilla ice cream, after over indulging, anyone may want to try another flavor. Like many people worldwide, fish is the healthiest and best option over pork, chicken or beef. I never eat anythibg other thsn fish but my husband enjoys the fried chicken and other meats. He detests anythung baked. My daughters ordered their fried chicken for my birthday party and it got rave reviews. Of course, no restaurant is perfect. I wish however, that the Green Manor would offer several options of baked or grilled fish. Variety is the spice of life!

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I can definitely see why this place stays busy.

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!

They charged tip automatically and it made me feel like they forced me to pay for service I did not received.

I also ordered 4 friend green tomatoes, they were good but not cooked hard enough.
