Here’s what one reviewer says about BQE’s food: “I frequent BQE a lot & I’ve had to wait for my food, but their food is exceptional! And yes I’ve received the wrong order,, but the waitress immediately corrected my order. My favorite is their Red Velet Chicken & Waffles…I suggest that you try the Fried Catfish! The service is great, but can’t expect the wait staff to be at your beckoning call in a crowded restaurant! The atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect at a restaurant lounge! Remember you get what you give…I get great service because I respect what the wait staff have to do & I tip well for good service! Read the reviews, but decide for yourself!”Chicken+Beer

It is even more awesome that they offer many flights of beer and we took that opportunity to try some local favorites. We tried some local Atlanta brews and each one of them was a treat of its own. Our favorite was sweet water brewery. We loved the chicken and waffles meal and we love just the fried chicken. Everything tasted moist and delicious and the service was impeccable. Our waiter really showed a sense of Southern pride when we were ordering and made sure to ask us where we were traveling to.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Hattie B’s Hot Chicken. “Oh so yummies! I could have just had the waffles and been palatably pleased. I also had the chicken sandwich. Listed as “hot” chicken sandwich, I requested “mild”. Had I not had the forethought, there is no way that I would have been able to eat the sandwich, as I even had to drink the chicken pieces into the blue cheese to eat it. Heat is an understatement. The coleslaw, which comes on the chicken sandwich was a bit too vinegary for my taste but wasn’t completely off putting. I would get the sandwich again, as well as recommend it to others. Just get an extra lemonade to wash it down. Drink sizes are on the smaller scale.

I ordered their chicken sandwich which was AMAZING!!!! My cousin ordered the chicken and waffles. Can, we just take a moment to talk about how good the waffle was?!?!? Their waffle was so yummy with a nice chew that it put all other waffles to shame! I highly recommend trying this place, even if you don’t live near the city it’s worth the drive! I demolished the sandwich without getting the chance to take a pic. But I screen shot my cousins video of his food.”
