    I just went Saturday for the first time. I was so disappointed!! Old building… The tomatoes were good without the toppings. My greens were not good at all. I should have cooked some for them. The rib tips were flavorful, but tough. The mash potatoes were soooooo salty!! Like someone made a mistake and poured too much. The tea needed more tea. My drink was good, but didn’t seem to have alcohol, and it was super little for $15. They sat us downstairs in the back… The walls look moldy back there. Got to pay for parking at the restaurant or park somewhere else. They automatically add 18% to your ticket, then the waitress asks for an additional tip. The 18% is split 5 ways. Whew child! Just ghetto, bland food, and over priced. The only good thing was the fried deviled eggs… The owners should be ashamed of themselves, and people will continue to support simply because they’re hoping to run into a celebrity. I will NEVER go back here. $95 wasted…

    Food: We visited this restaurant yesterday for lunch and I ordered Fried Chicken, greens, and mac & cheese. I typically like my chicken well done but there's a little slimy in some areas. When I got to the Chicken breast it was chewy, so I didn't eat rest. The greens had an interesting taste, they were sweet. Some people cook collards in vinegar and some with sugar. (I wasn't a fan of the collards) Mac &Cheese was OK Later that day I started getting sick; I was throwing, my stomach was cramping, and I couldn't get out of the bathroom. I was sweating and the pain was unbearable. I got food poisoning and I'm still going throw it. I'm so disappointed in the quality of the food. The chef needs to make sure that the Chicken is done 100% before going out to avoid the experience I had. To future guests make sure your meat is cooked to your liking and if not send it back immediately.

    Do NOT waste your time and money in this tourist trap. The food is overpriced and awful which is to be expected of a tourist trap but not when it’s privately owned. Not a single one in our party was able to eat their food and when we tried to complain they said they don’t do take backs or exchanges just because you don’t like the food…but it was inedible. Yes I am upset with myself for having higher expectations. Do not waste your money or time.

    Can’t say much other than how disappointing the experience was here. Our initial greeting when we walked into the restaurant was good, the hostess took a bit to get to us but we understood considering how busy it looked. However, when we were seated the waitress took about 15 minutes to even acknowledge us only to tell us she will be right with us. We got our orders in about 20 minutes after being seated. We got some cornbread as snacks and they were poorly baked and not even warm. We had ordered two appetizers and two entrees. The appetizers took about 45 minutes to come out - which is way too long. The crab cake looked unappetizing- no effort into the plating. But it wasn’t terrible in terms of taste. The salmon bites were not the best. Very under seasoned. The sauce provided doesn’t go well with the bites either. Our entrees took another 30min to come out. Salmon was cooked well. French toast was dry. We got a janky looking fork that was unusable and asked the waitress if we could please have a replacement, we asked 3 times. She said, “yes” and never got the replacement. Overall, not good service. Maybe it’s because the gratuity is automatic (18%) so the servers feel they don’t have to put any effort to having good customer service. The food was very underwhelming for the price. I wouldn’t recommend you eat here. Even if you’re a fan of Kandi - this restaurant is a disappointment and honestly feels like a slap in the face that she has no quality checks or holds her employees to a higher standard for her fans. Just save your money and time

    Everything was so so G🤩🤩D!! The green beans, the mashed potatoes and the Mac cheese was delicious. Cornbread was alright!!! But the server was very sweet and pleasant to deal with. The music 🎶 was on point took me back to my time.

  • 3/5 Megan 3 months ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    The host and two other men stood there talking upon entering for a few seconds talking about nothing business related prior to greeting us. Seating was available immediately. My kids and husband complained about the restrooms being disgusting and the time it took for the food to come out. Our waitress was nice and very attentive. The food was good for the most part. Mashed potatoes were luke warm at best. Mac n Cheese was disappointing. Salmon was delicious. Green beans were an overload on garlic and onion powder. We didn't eat our Mac and cheese or green beans. My son loved the fried chicken. Hubby liked the ribs.

    The parking is weird and im not fan of the stairs but once you get in you are greeted and immediately seated. The waitress was very polite, accommodating and patient. Got the grilled lamb and it was amazing. For appetizers got the wings.. it's the sauce and ranch for me. The ambience was a chill at a family gathering or barbecue vibe. Lots of laughter and chattering.

    It was a 45 minute wait but we were asked if we wanted to go to the lounge which was POPPING!!! Dim lighting and sports bar like feel bar style tables and chairs. Love DJ playing the hits and NFL going. When we were seated took 5 minutes to have our server great us. Took our drink orders which took 5 minutes to get after we ordered. Then he took our orders. We ordered all white dinner fried chicken, chicken and waffles and rib tips. Fried chicken came out with all wings and when asked about the breast the waiter told us it was burnt so we had to wait but as soon as it’s ready we would bring it out. Never received the fried chicken breast. The fried chicken lack seasoning and seemed to be missing salt!!! The chicken was good but lack flavor. The rib tips were drenched in oil. The mashed potatoes were dry, drier then Popeyes biscuits. The Mac and cheese was good and flavorful. The cornbread was complementary but we didn’t get til the end of the meal. The atmosphere was good. Happy faces and enjoyment. The waiter just kind of forgot about us. The group behind us left and asked for their money back because of the lack of flavor and the chicken that took 45 minutes to cook. I went to the restroom and it was a mess. Drip on the faucet and dirty like they don’t check every hour. The beginning customer service was great until we got seated to begin our dinner and the whole thing went south.

    Service: Nice waitress, but food service was pretty slow. Although, there were only two tables occupied, we waited at least a 30-45 mins after receiving drinks. Food: Very flavorful. Chicken was crunchy, toast could have been cooked a bit less, fried fish was nicely fried, Mac was cheesy goodness, greens were just okay. Do yourself a favor and get some of that hot sauce! BANGING! Atmosphere: Furnishing need to be updated ASAP. Seating coming apart at the seams, tables stained, bathroom… now come on ya’ll, fix that up. Price: Too expensive for ordinary food options. Overall, if wait times and atmosphere aren’t the utmost importance, you’ll enjoy the food.

    OLG is more than just a restaurant, it's an experience. Expect to wait for a table because everyone seems to know how good this place is and they don't mind waiting for perfection. If you're lucky like we were, you might even bump into one of the "gang" members. But even if you only get to enjoy just the food, you'll love it. I recommend the deep fried deviled eggs and the fried green tomatoes. Everything tasted like our own grandmothers made it ... with love.

    Just had lunch at Old Lady Gang and I’m shocked at some of these reviews. My fried chicken & French toast was phenomenal. Some of the best I’ve had in a while! Their deviled eggs were so good too! Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. And the music was great! I was pretty much singing to every song while eating. I’ll definitely be going back.

    The whole experience felt pricey, with service dragging its feet. Our server wasn't on the ball, and the food took forever – even the drinks. A $15 Mule turned out flat, and getting it off the bill was a hassle. Surprise, the tip was already in the bill. The deviled eggs were a flavor letdown, and those $32 lamb chops? Not worth it. Cornbread, meant to be a side, showed up 20 minutes late. On the upside, my partner enjoyed the fried chicken. So, while the fried chicken was a hit, the tasteless deviled eggs, overpriced lamb chops, and delayed cornbread, coupled with the service and wait time, make it doubtful I'll be back.

    Service was absolutely great; the food was not. We order salmon bites and they tasted like they cooked it the day before and reheated them in the microwave. Greens on point; greenbeans oily. Fried chicken was bland, ribs had good flavor but could have been a bit more tender. Baked chicken was cold. This is not a place I recommend. 😒

    Not as good as I expected. Didn’t have to wait long to get seated but food took forever to come out. The waiter was okay. Rib tips were pretty good but the chicken was bland and unflavored. I probably won’t be coming back again, I think this is a one and done experience. Interior was very nice tho

    I try to stop by when I am in town, but I have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed. It’s seems like instead of getting better every time I come it’s not meeting my expectations. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken wings and my daughter had the burger, but my lamb chops were chard and a bit bitter. The mac n cheese was just ok and the green beans lacked seasoning. The fried deviled eggs were amazing.

    After waiting an hour to be seated and told it would also be an hour wait for food at another restaurant, we decided to try OLG out. We had a party of five and was seated immediately. I wish I could remember our waiter name , he so friendly also very attentive. I got the fried chicken which was freshly cooked and seasoned , Mac n cheese which was also very good , the cabbages were cooked nicely but I was not a fan of the seasoning, I took two bites and gave the rest away. I also had a alcoholic drink ,that was pretty good and left me with a slight buzz. We also had cornbread , I liked the cornbread however I think they should have been left in the oven a tad bit longer. Overall I would definitely return

    ABSOLUTELY 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 THE FOOD WAS SEASONED TO PERFECTION!! Members of the TV cast were actually there. We were greeted, seated and served pretty fast. Our waiter "Julius" was very koo. I'll most definitely go back here again. Thus place have 2 levels. I guess downstairs us where everything is filmed or could be an overflow. But you'll see the cast members and they are Friendly. So shoe up and eat good food.

    My girlfriend, her mother, and I visited from North Carolina for her birthday and it was not the best experience. When we got there, we had a 45min wait in which we were told there was no inside waiting area, so we had to wait outside (in July heat) for a text letting us know our table was ready. When we received the text for our table, we could not sit immediately because the table was not ready. We ordered the wings as an appetizer that did not come out until we were almost done with our main dishes. When we received our food, it was not hot even though we waited for it to come out. The restaurant's atmosphere felt more like a stopping point before hitting the streets. We were excited about visiting the restaurant, but this was a one-time visit.

    The food was fresh, tasty and straight to the point. We enjoyed great service. I enjoyed the atmosphere as we were visiting from out of town. This is definitely one of the spots of ATL. Everything was full of flavor and my drink was full of alcohol, just the way that it should be. I took the advice of many others and getting there before they got super busy and would have to wait in line. We got there before they opened and still had to wait but it was only about 10 minutes. We walked in and was able to be seated just fine. The only downside of this location was the parking but they don’t have control over that. So over all I was a happy customer and would go back.

  • 2/5 LaShaundra S. 1 year ago on Google
    The host was friendly. We sat on the top floor, and wasted food was all over the carpet. Some swept eventually, as we ate. We I bake and fried chicken, cabbage, Mac and cheese, and smashed potatoes. The chicken was OK, warn not hot. The smashed potatoes and mac and cheese too were warm, but ok. The cabbage was hot and very tasty. Cornbread was warm and tasty. The fried devil eggs were good. The strawberry lemonade was good. The service was HORRIBLE!! There were absolutely no people eating or tables on the top floor, other than the bar, u believe people were on the first floor though. It took over 25 minutes for our food to be served, our fried devil eggs appetizer came out 7-10 minutes after our entree. However, this could be because our server was a few doors down shopping at a newly opened boutique, then came back to show off what he bought. Yet, the had the nerve to charge auto gratuity and the server was the worst of the experience. Unfortunately, my husband paid it while I went to the boutique to see why all the employees where there, which I did run into 2 servers.

    This place should be a ZERO! I love to support my people but this experience was utterly ridiculous. Between the food and the service, everything was subpar. Who allows their staff to have verbal altercations on the floor in front of patrons? This establishment right here. Then on top of that the food was absolutely awful. I was served burnt fried chicken (not to mention to chicken wings were so small it looked as if they were from a bat). The greens and other sides were full of sugar. Baaby sugar don't go in everything unless you're trying to mask a nasty flavor. Cornbread was straight up jiffy mix and dry...how the hell u make jiffy dry and charge $7 for 4 pieces? The atmosphere was not appealing. The bathroom was dirty has no toilet tissue. The carpet looked dingy and it was dark colored. Do better is an understatement. Throw it away, start over, and rebrand because this ain't it boo.

    The food was delicious and that's a big compliment coming from me because I cook soul food at home and am not easily impressed with soul food restaurants. I went to this location twice in one day. The staff were outstanding the first time we arrived at 1pm. Everyone was so nice. They gave us parking suggestions and a encouraged us to tour several places on the street. Our server was Ross. He was professional, friendly but overly not overly invasive the way some servers can be. He was respectful and had a great overall spirit. He had the most stunning smile and encouraged us to feel at home when a couple of celebrities came in. He even took our picture with them. We toured the strip for several hours and returned for more appetizers. Our waiter was SO cold and noncommunicative. He acted as if he did not want us there. I observed him to see if he just had a cold disposition but realized he was just a mean spirited person. I observed him making rude comments to his colleagues and it seemed as if they were intimidated to approach him. This could've ruined my impression of the entire restaurant if it hadn't been for such a pleasurable experience just hours earlier.

  • 4/5 Lawrencia L. 1 year ago on Google
    was super excited to try this restaurant knowing the menu was inspired by her family. I entered the restaurant and was immediately greeted by a hostess and seated. After being seated the waiter took about 5 mins to finish up with another customer before I was greeted. I ordered and the food came with not much of a delay. I had baked chicken and it came with two sides and a cornbread muffin. The grilled chicken was well seasoned and good. But my favorite was the Mac and cheese it was the absolute best!!! The corn bread muffin and cabbage were good too. I’m not sure if they have this - but a vegetarian side plate would be a wonderful addition to the menu. The waiter did come check on me while eating to ensure my food was okay. The service was mediocre here but the food was delicious. I’ll come back and sit at a table and see if my experience will be different. Also, gratuity was automatically added.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the food. I read mixed reviews, so I was a little skeptical, but I ended up being pleased with everything we ordered. Our waiter Q was very friendly and charismatic. The fried deviled eggs are amazing, the crab cake was delicious, and the drinks were good and strong. The fried chicken was good and the collard greens and mac & cheese was on point! The restaurant is small and definitely needs a good cleaning. I did not like that dirty dishes were left on a table as soon as you walk in for a very long time. I expected the decor to be better, especially considering the prices are extremely high, too high! I spent $200 on a dinner for 2 that should have been under $100 - and Im from NYC so I’m used to expensive prices. I would definitely recommend.

    I expected so much more. Ordered fried chicken dark with Mac & Cheese and greens. The chicken was fried too hard. My wife ordered fried chicken white with Mac & Cheese and black eyed peas & rice. White meat is a $7 dollar up charge and she received 4 wings (also fried too hard)!! $27 for 4 wings!!! She complained so they gave her a breast. It’s just as hard and dry as the other pieces. No way they should have served this corn bread. It did not rise and was a brick.

    We tried the OLG for the first time on a Friday evening. We sat at the bar and our server Aja was very friendly. There was a pretty long wait on the food but well worth it! I ordered the fried chicken with Mac n cheese and steamed cabbage. It was sooo good! I highly recommend this dish and the corn bread was incredible! It tasted like a dessert, similar to a beignet! Very delicious.

    This was a great place to eat! I had the catfish and the collard greens with macaroni and cheese, and it was well worth it! The food is quite expensive, and there is an 18% fee that they add to the bill, which is alarming, so be prepared. The atmosphere had a pretty good vibe, but I felt like it was missing something; I just couldn’t put my finger on it. The bathroom toilet was broken as well as the trashcan, so there were some minor things that they could do to spruce it up, but the staff was friendly, and our waitress was very kind.

    Old Lady Gang (Atlanta, GA) was wonderful! The food was delicious!!! It took our food forever to come out, however, our server recognized that and brought us an order of fried deviled eggs on the house. It was much appreciated! My drink (LIT) was SO strong! I would definitely go back! The only draw back was the $10 self parking which was in the back of the restaurant in a tiny parking lot.

    Came to support while in ATL. The environment was clean and welcoming. We did not have a long wait time. Our waitress took a while to attend to us but was attentive once we met her. We started with the deviled eggs with shrimp which were AMAZING! So good that we ordered a second serving. Our drinks (Georgia Peach and Atlanta Mule) were strong, a bit too strong for us. I had the Blackened salmon with cabbage and black eyed peas. The salmon was over cooked; the cabbage was amazing; the black eyed peas were too salty. My friend had the Fried chicken with collard greens and Mac and cheese. Her chicken was tasty but cold; her collard greens and Mac and cheese were on point! Would return and recommend.

    There was wait, which we expected. We had a large group, we were in town for a conference. We attempted to eat there the day before but was told despite what the website says that the kitchen closed at 6. So we tried again. Once seated, the service and receiving our food were a little slow, but our waitress was sweet. Most of us ordered the same thing, but the food came out at different times. One person was waiting for what seemed like another 20 minutes for the same dish I ordered. The food was good, it was well seasoned.

    The food was okay. The dark meat chicken plate was too greasy it made my husband sick. And the thighs were so small. I asked the manager if I could get a decent size piece of chicken and she said all the pieces are small it’s the distributor. Then they need to order from somewhere else. My husband said he’s had better chicken from Popeyes. The max and cheese was good. Outside of the food the whole dining experience was horrible. We came in on a Monday, put our name down and they said the wait would be 45 minutes. We come back & the hostess says our table IS ready but she can’t seat us for 45 minutes because the system went down. I said so we have to wait another hour and she said yes. No apology or anything, just yes. We wait around then come back in about half an hour and ask if the system is back up and the woman says yes, (no text to say they’re ready we just happened to come back early) but now she said we have to wait for them to clean off the table. We sit inside and wait about 15 minutes before we were seated. We order finally, & it took about another 15 minutes before they brought out water. The table they sat us at was too small for our party and when I asked to move the hostess gave me a hard time. Our waiter did end up letting us move to a larger table but we had to wait at least 15 minutes. After ordering out food we waited about half and hour then the waiter comes to tell us the food will be out shortly. Another 10 minutes or so later, then the waiter comes back to tell us that they ran out of the sweet potato side. Keep in mind it’s 3pm on a Monday. I asked to get the peach cobbler dessert but he said no, I asked if they could make an exception because the price difference is $3 and we had a number of problems already. He said he wasn’t aware of any other issues and when my mother and I explained the issues he said they had nothing to do with him and that they weren’t his fault. Eventually the manager came out to say the same thing. The manager was rude, they were unapologetic about the wait as well as running out of what we ordered and waited until they started bringing out the rest of the party’s plates to tell my husband and I they ran out of the side we ordered. The whole experience was horrible and my family had got together because my sister was in town, she really wanted to go to Old Lady Gang and my sister apologized about the experience we had more than any of the staff.

    Well..the food was okay. The hostess could have been a bit more friendly and there was a place for us to sit, however we were told there will be a 45 min wait and we had to go sit in our car and they will call us when a table was ready... The corn bread was horrible. My husband was served wings on a chipped plate that should be thrown out due to possible bacteria that could get into the pours of the chipped area. The other dishes Burger, chicken, fish, shrimp n grits were okay. The cabbage was a bit salty and the mac n cheese was okay even though it looked completely different from the menu pictures. The music was extra loud and explicit. I understand that most of your clients love that kind of music but not all of them. The music from downstairs you could feel and hear the base under your feet..extremely anyoning! Also forcing people to tip 18% for a party of 5...when did the rules change!! Someone stayed they were charged for a party of 3!! I know some people can be bad on tippthat would mean your staff need to be top notch to make sure they get tipped. My husband was going to tip what was being forced upon us till he looked closer at the ticket.... The atmosphere for a place based on ones mother and Aunts don't match as well as with meals based on your children. I wouldn't count it out all together but it's not a place I will go again with my family, maybe a girls outing.

    The server Taylor was great!!!! She was very nice, and informative however the food was disgusting! I think they’ve gotten too comfortable in the kitchen! My Mac and cheese taste like shoes. Fried chicken was salty. Fish & grits were runny & it was too “fishy” as if the fish hadn’t been washed. OTHER THAN THAT, I LOVE TAYLOR. Give her a raise. The table beside me didn’t like their food either after waiting hoursssss!! :(

    Spent Christmas in Atlanta and wanted to try Old Lady Gang out. The greeter (with the red eyes) and our waiter were very nice! The greeter made sure we got a picture with Aunt Bertha which I thought was so cool! The food didn't take long to come out. We had the deviled eggs (not pictured) as an advertiser and they are delicious! They are fried with a sweet and spicy taste topped with bacon. I don't even like deviled eggs but they looked so good I had to try them. The chicken was good and crispy. Macaroni and cornbread were good. The only thing that can use some improvement is the mashed potatoes. They looked good and they were fresh but not seasoned at all. But we still ate it all! The price for the food was a little steep, but I would do it all over again because I loved the experience! I'm not criticizing nor complaining because I love Kandi and her family! Just giving an honest review!

    My family and I had a great time at Old Lady Gang Southern Cuisine. If you're looking for a food coma, this is your spot. The season grits were amazing. My barbecue rib tips, man. I want more.... My cousin ordered the salmon. Hands down, we had a great time. We will be returning

    We went in with a party of 18- couldn't sit them all, but the Hostess did the best she could. After a 30 min wait 9 of us were seated with the best most patient waitress Lala!! First time in Atlanta and was looking for good Soul Food. LALA not only looked out for us in regards to the menu, but suggested great places to go. thank you for making our experience memorable!!

    Placed a take out order, if 3 tables were occupied that would be a stretch. Quickly entered and was send to the bar to place take out order. Asked to scan menu code and meantioned i just needed something quick from the Kids menu (my husband and I had gone to eat at No Mas! And my son wanted fries) and asked what meal did they have with fries she said burger or wings I asked for a kids burger, never in my life have I had to pay $21.57 for a kids burger, which took them close to 30min to prepare, while cooks were seeing dancing in the kitchen and when one saw me looking closed the kitchen doors and continued his party... super greasy fries and burgers. Even the pickel was greasy. Can say I' will be returning. What a let down, the reviews is that made me want to try it but can't say I was amazed by food or service.

    It wasn’t bad , but it wasn’t Good ! , they were out of every Entree on the Menu except the Fried Chicken. The chicken was hot and fresh and came with a choice of 2 sides . I had the macaroni and greens . The macaroni was okay I had better . The Greens tasted pretty good .

    Food was very good but for the level of salt and sugar. It is truly southern cuisine in that respect. For those of us that are sensitive to increased levels, you may have to ask for a tasting before ordering. Outside of that, we did enjoy our meal.

    Signed in at 4:45, received our food two hours later after complaining…(Fish dinner/crab patty added Mac and fries) Nothing against Kandi bc I loveee her but this particular restaurant saddens me. I’m writing this two hours after originally singing in, which is 15mins after getting our food. There’s no deviled eggs or grits which grits is apart of most of the meals-the simplest items on the menu. There was only one dessert option available. 1 crab patty is $14… huh and most importantly ppl (lady and her toddler) who came over an hour after us received their food before my party of two. Some ppl left because of this. I was told by our waiter that it’s done bc of two tickets vs 1 which makes no sense bc my party of two (my child) was only one ticket. I waited so long for this experience to be highly disappointed.

    Food tasted good. My wife had French toast and fried chicken. I had kandis blackened salmon. Both were well seasoned and tasted amazing. Oh yeah, I would also recommend Todd’s margarita from the menu. Food and drinks took sometime to come out but it was all worth it.

    Just got back from the ATL and one of my main objectives was to visit Todd and Kandi Burris restaurant Old Lady Gang on Peters St close to the airport. Let me just say I had tried to call all week before to see if they take reservations but no one ever answered the phone. Finally found on their website in small print that they do not. We got off the plane which was 2 hours late and went straight there in hopeing we could get in before closing since I've heard about the lines. Since it was after 5 there was only 4 people outside waiting all in the same group. We went inside too add our names to the list and wait inside since no one else was inside waiting. We were informed that there was no inside waiting. Although their was a long cushion near the windows and it was still quite warm out side. We were advised our wait would be 30 minutes or less. After 45 minutes in the car we walked back to be told if would be 10 more minutes. Finally getting in, I was a little disappointed in the decor and furniture. The pictures were nice but the tables and chairs needed updating. They were rinky dink, old looking like something from a yard sale. The music was so loud I had to step out side to take a call. The waitress was pleasant, but started to get a little annoyed whenever she checked back and we actually needed something such as extra napkins or ketchup. After a while when we asked for another take out container and bags she just never returned so we had to get them ourselves. I ordered rib tips, green beans and smothered cabbage. The rib tips and green beans were great The cabbage was too spicy with pepper. The rest of my party ordered fish, with sweet potato souffle and crab cakes All of the food was great. I did like all of the food was served in different containers since I'm one which do not like my food to touch. I also like that the portions are fairly large. No complaints with the food, but more money needed to be put into the table and chairs. I did enjoy looking at the family pic on the wall.

    We Came To See What The Hype Was About.. OLG Restaurant is very clean, Staff is very nice, and polite with a Smile on their faces. Our Waiter was Named Rocky he was a Sweetheart with a Amazing personality, very knowledgeable of the Menu, and he had fast service inspite of working multiple table's. Food overall was good, and on a scale of 1-10 I'll give it a Stong 7. Love the Vibe, and theme behind concept of the restaurant 👌.

    Where do I begin, upon entry our greeter was upbeat and friendly. The atmosphere and lighting was great, nice music. The Bartender Marlon made our drinks on point. Todd’s Margarita is very good. Now to the Best part. THE FOOD IS EVERYTHING!!!. The Salmon bites is a 10/10 you don’t even need the sauce the flavors are giving everything it’s suppose to give. The fried fish dinner was seasoned well, perfect breading 7/10. The blackened Salmon with the honey glaze OMG DELICIOUS 10/10 🤤. The green beans are fresh not canned or frozen. You can taste how flavorful the food is. The Mac and Cheese is good 7/10

    Staff was great, our server was Rocket. We were traveling from Detroit and wanted to see what the hype was about. I must say we weren’t disappointed. The fried chicken was great. I got mine hot and fresh. My sister did send her chicken back to get it hot and fresh. Shrimp and grits were great. Black eyed peas were great. Fish was cooked a little to hard. The sweet potato soufflé was good. The experience and environment was great. Thank you Rocket for recommending the sweet tea it was a hit.

    Everything was amazing!! Was a great vibe and great food and the service was the best service I received while in the ATL. Coming from Pine Bluff, AR they didn't disappoint. When you go be sure to ask for Kenny because he was amazing and patient. He answered all of our questions (and my crew had A LOT). I will be back

    We had to wait a while for seating. They were missing alot of options Wednesday night. No Mac and cheese, cobbler pudding or cornbread. The fried devil eggs were good. The mash potatoes and sweet potatoes were tasty as well. The ribs tips weren't bad but could be a little more tender. It's kinda cramped in there so def not good for big groups of people in my opinion and the seating isn't that comfortable. Our waiter was nice.

    Definitely worth every penny! I expected to wait awhile but was pleasantly surprised! Service was great, food is exceptional, and the atmosphere is very chill. We ordered from the bar downstairs due to the 2 hour wait time for a table and even though it was a full house on a Friday we were in and out in well under an hour. (I decided to take with and enjoy at the hotel)

    The energy, the food,atmosphere was amazing. From the time we got there it was superb. It's a "must go" when you're in Atlanta.

    We came late night so we got late night service, I suppose - won't get into that. The food was good though. I had the lamb chops with the smashed potatoes & green beans. If you're new to lamb chops, these are a good intro. The balsamic glaze was a nice touch.

    Visited ATL for the weekend and decided to stop by OLG before leaving. Food was good but not as hot as we expected it to be. We paid $10.40 to park in lot behind the building and was told there was an hour to an hour and a half wait when we put our name on the list. We noticed people kept arriving and just going in during our wait so after 45 mins we went in and said something then they sent text that our table was ready...so were we forgotten about?!?! The establishment didn't look like what Bravo ramped it up to look like and was very dated and small in a location that could've been better. There were 3 of us at my table but there was an automatic 18% gratuity added to each of our receipts...why?!?! The highlight of this visit was seeing Don Juan in the back parking lot while we waited coming to drop off some things in his blue Mustang 💙!

    Great drinks, friendly staff, and delicious sides. I wasn't crazy about the fish could have used more seasoning. But overall a great experience
