Fried Chicken Strip Biscuit and Fried Basa Catfish Fillet
Vanessa E.

Nice location but definitely under staffed. We had to wait a long time but the food was great. The pancake was a little crispy.. wasn't expecting that. Bathrooms were kinda gross. Service was friendly when we finally got some.

Fried Fish and Grits with cheese eggs with tomatoes

Quick breakfast after church. I wanted some fish so we went to Thumbs Up in Austell. It sits at the end of a plaza with lots of free parking. We had to wait for about 10 minutes for a table to be seated. It was packed and no seating in the small space. After we were seated, I ordered an Arnold Palmer, fried fish and grits with scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Cant really go wrong with a great breakfast. Just wish the service was a little better but short staff is the new normal. Thanks Thumbs Up. SYOY

French Toast (Two Slices) Fried Fish and Grits

I ordered DoorDash and the food was great!! They forgot my grits but that didn't even matter once I tasted the food! Looking forward to trying the grits next time! Definitely will be back to eat inside the restaurant.

First time visiting. Food is pretty good. It just took a while to come out. Forgot my order of grits but brought it out after a while. Will visit again cause the food is tasty.

Greek omelette (made with egg whites)

This is a 5 out of 5 from the entire family. We've been here many times and will definitely be back. It's definitely a "local" place and the food is more "comfort" and not really frilly. It's a small place and is always busy. The servers are also very nice, friendly, and otherwise do a great job taking care of you. My favorite thing here - the multigrain biscuits. It's not your usual buttermilk biscuit, but oh-so-worth the carb splurge. Even better, it's served with real butter and fresh jam. YUMMM!

Fried Chicken Strips and Waffle
Star B.

I really wish I could say I enjoyed this place or the food. To be honest this was my second time coming but my first time dining in. First time was a to go order that I placed in advance and still waited 15 mins after arriving for. I arrived after the breakfast rush the table were less than 1/2 full so I waited around until a waitress told me to sit anywhere. Then I waited around several minutes till I got a menu, then several more mins to be asked if I wanted a drink. 10 mins after arriving before I could ask for a cup of tea and water. The tea came 5 mins later the water after I was done eating. While they were nice the slowest service. 2 star service. The food it's chicken and waffles I didn't expect anything fancy but the waffle tasted like either the mix was sitting out and separated or it wasn't mixed enough 3 bites in I tasted mix yuck. 1 star waffle. The chicken was mid and the eggs which were scrambled tasted like egg beaters vs eggs. 1 star food. When I finally got my water after eating a square of waffle half a tender and 2 bites of egg I asked the very nice waitress for the check, cut my losses and went to dunkin for a coffee. I see soo many great reviews but I just received slow service and really bad food. 2 stars because they have a nice hot tea selection and the waitress while not very attentive were super friendly when they did come around.

Messed our order up. Food was bland. Cream cheese was expired or just a terrible brand. Do not recommend.

Ok, they redeemed themselves!…read more I've been here a few times since my original review & it's quickly become one of my favorite spots! They're consistently delicious, budget friendly, & the portion sizes are decent too. This is a true take out spot where you order ya food and go. They do have seats to wait for your meal, but that's it. I hope this gem of a spot stays consistent & I love that it's local too!

This place has been on my list for sometime and finally stopped in on a week night. I ordered the…read moreplate for son and sampled his food. Upon entering the store, I was disappointed that you can't see the food. It's not like a cafeteria with the food warming up front. Decided on the baked chicken plate that comes with rice and two sides. Added a drink - the mango lemonade. All for about $18 plus tax. They only have banana pudding for dessert. Was looking forward to peach cobbler or cakes even. Service counter was pleasant and worked quickly as more customers arrived. The restaurant is a takeout but they have a grass wall for photo opportunities on the Gram. The food: The chicken quarter was seasoned well and tasty. The rice was a bit under cooked and tough. The green beans were done with lots of garlic and sautéed. I liked it but I could see how my son didn't. The macaroni and cheese was underwhelming. There was no seasoning or flavor. It tasted smoky and a bit chalky. The mango lemonade was a hit. Overall, I'd try other plates like the salmon and the Soul Roll. Glad to have some other comfort food options in Cobb as well.
