    The Best Items From Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu

    4 Min Read

    Believe or not, but relatively few people know about Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu. What do you know about it?

    This article is going to show you some items on Chick-fil-A’s secret menu. If you’re familiar with Dwarf House, the original Chick-fil-A, the secret food menu is something you know all about.

    Chick-fil-A is part and parcel made of red Georgia clay. This is indisputable ever since a small eatery called the Dwarf Grille opened right under Atlanta’s nose in tiny Hapeville, Georgia back in 1946. Since then millions have become loyal fans of the restaurant known for the bad-spelling cows singing how to “Eat More Chiken.”

    What’s On Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu?

    How do you get to see Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu? You generally can’t be the drive-thru — these are dine-in options only. And you’ve got to ask (be nice) one of the workers. That’s how you’ll get to try some of these awesome secret recipes via Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu.

    Spicy Chicken And Egg Biscuit

    The Spicy Chicken and Egg Biscuit is something you’ll never see on the Chick-fil-A menu, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have it.

    How To Order It: Just tell the cashier that you want to add egg to your Chicken Biscuit.

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

    The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is what you get when you ask for hot sauce on your Chicken Sandwich. The way they do it is just great.

    The Double Decker Sandwich

    The Double Decker Sandwich is one that very few Chick-fil-A servers can master. But for those that do, it’s a great treat.

    Chicken Quesadilla

    https://twitter.com/jimwags78/status/373900964563918848

    Chicken Quesadillas aren’t something you’d normally think would be served at Chick-fil-A, but this food item is so good that it should be added officially.

    Spicy Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich

    We all know that chicken is Chick-fil-A’s thing, so this Spicy Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich is a specialty that is right up their alley.

    The Double Double Down

    Special shoutout to the Instagram accounts @nocatsgotluv4me and @pass_the_salt and @hack_themenu for their endeavors in the world of secret menus. Check them all out for more food hacks.

    How Do You Order From Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu?

    Chick-fil-A’s secret menu can be ordered by asking an employee for some of the options available. That means you can substitute turkey for chicken on the chicken sandwich. That means you can add hot sauce to your chicken tenders. You can also get an assortment of sauces applied to your Waffle Fries.

    Final Word

    If you’ve ever been to Chick-fil-A, you may know that those delicious chicken biscuits or waffle fries can be ordered a number of ways. One reason why is because Chick-fil-A has a secret menu.

    There are so many good things to eat at Chick-fil-A. You can also try the restaurant’s Little Blue Menu.

    Grand China is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Atlanta
     
    Here is what one reviewer says about Grand China: “I just ate here for the first time today and the food was delicious. I didn’t deserve it. I couldn’t get the food inside my mouth fast enough. The Green curry chicken dish was amazing. I would definitely recommend!”

    Gu’s Dumplings

    Gu's Dumplings are among the best Chinese restaurants in Atlanta
     
    Here’s what one reviewer says about Gu’s Dumplings inside Krog Street Market. “My second time to Gu’s and I’m still impressed. I wish I had a bigger stomach to try it all. The dumplings are classic and delicious with flavors true to China spice. The crispy beef was slightly underwhelming. The portion size was too small for a shareable plate. Will be returning for the dumps ASAP!”

    Hans Express

    Hans Express is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Atlanta

    Here is what a reviewer says about Hans Express: “Han’s is a simple place situated in southwest Atlanta. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the servings are large. My wife and I can typically get two meals from from both the lunch and dinner sized portions. I’ve certainly had better Chinese food, but Han’s is very good and is one of my favorites in Atlanta. I’m not a big fan of the plain fried rice, but for $1.50 more you can upgrade to pork fried rice. In addition, the wings are small but are very much worth the low price.”

    Fortune Cookie Restaurant is one of the best in Atlanta

    Here is what one reviewer says about Fortune Cookie Restaurant: “Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce tasted fresh and flavorful. Eggrolls tasted a little off to me but my dining partner thought they were fine. The staff was courteous and patient given the large number of people in line (they are only doing take out orders at this time). Located in a shopping plaza so parking was plentiful. Wait time was reasonable – great location so I will definitely go back.”

    Malaya Restaurant

    857 Collier Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 | (404) 609-9991

    Malaya Restaurant has the best Chinese food in Atlanta

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Malaya Restaurant: “Chinese food… very delicious. Don’t fret if it’s busy, it is worth the wait. The staff was very helpful and observant. It has a great interior. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.”

  • Keith Lee Returning To Atlanta As Part of ‘Redemption Tour’

    5 Min Read

    Food critic Keith Lee stopped in Atlanta several months after his original Georgia good tour. While he was supposed to do a food tour proper, he switched things up unexpectedly by making an appearance in the city on Wednesday, April 3, 2024.

    “There’s been a change of plans. Let’s talk about it. The next half of the food tour is not Atlanta,” he said. Explaining that he was going to be giving away free food, the Detroit-based food critic said there were some parties that pulled up with the intent to make a dollar and he wanted it made clear that they weren’t with him.

    Will he come back to Atlanta for a food tour? We’ll see.

    In late March, Lee announced on his Instagram that he and his family will be doing a “Redemption Tour,” for 2024, with Atlanta being the #1 spot on his list.

    He stressed that there will be no do-overs, in other words, he won’t be returning to the same restaurants.

    “This is a redemption tour: it’s not a good tour, meaning we’re not going to the same spots we went to last time,” he said. “This is a completely fresh slate.”

    Things will be a little different though as the Lee family will have security with them this time, he said.

    “We come in peace,” he said, a reference to the ruffled feathers that occurred last time he did a food jaunt through the city.

    So where should Lee go? He mentioned that his focus this time will be mom-and-pop restaurants and food spots voted on by his followers, so here is a potential list.

    What Atlanta Restaurants Should Keith Lee Visit?

    K&K Soul Food

    881 Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

    best black-owned restaurants in Atlanta

    The original Bankhead Restaurant has been cooking home-style meals for the southwest Atlanta community since the 1960s. Now called K&K Soul Food, the eatery, which has been owned for the same family for 40 years, continues to be a standout spot for cafeteria-style soul food. Today the restaurant is run by Kimario Smith, who took over for his mother and grandmother. With its famed Pork Chop plate and Steak plate both priced at $6.99, K&K Soul Food is one of the cheapest — and best — square meals you can find in Atlanta.

    One K & K Soul Food reviewer on Facebook said this: “Good SoulFood. Taste like somebody’s Auntie definitely in the kitchen.”

    Buttermilk Biscuits

    1634 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337

    Buttermilk Biscuit has the best breakfast in Atlanta.

    Tucked inside quaint shopping center Virginia Station off in College Park, Buttermilk Biscuits packs a big breakfast punch. Here’s what one reviewer says about Buttermilk Biscuits.

    “The Belgian waffles were melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. Fried chicken breast was seasoned and cooked to crisp and juicy perfection, and the grits… I am a grits snob. There are literally only 3 or 4 restaurants in Atlanta that I refer others to when asked.”

    Aviva by Kameel Coming To Buckhead

    Rosemary chicken at Avia by Kameel in Atlanta.

    Aviva by Kameel is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Atlanta and expanding to Buckhead.

    The menu consists of hormone-free, butter-free food items, along with halal meat and classic salads and vegetables that have been locally sourced.

    • 156 Forsyth St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303 |  (404) 330-8004
    • 5015 Old National Hwy A, Atlanta, GA 30349 |  (404) 500-2034
    Kelz Kitchen opens in Atlanta, Georgia

    If you’re in the mood for some Coastal Carolina goodness, Kelz Kitchen is the place to check out. The eatery has two Atlanta locations.

    Here’s what one reviewer says of Kelz Kitchen: “Omg when I tell you the lollipop lamb chops were cooked to perfection and the Salmon was grilled so well. The broccoli was fresh and the corn on the cob was sweet. I also enjoyed the pound cake with a Lemonade. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Food is cooked to orders I recommend ordering online. They only accept debit cards just a heads up.”

    Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar

    1371 Clairmont Rd, Decatur, GA 30033

    Ms. Icey's - The Best Soul Food Restaurants In Atlanta

    The newest soul food spot in Decatur comes from owner and restaurateur Sim Walker, whose New York City rearing comes through in the vibe. Ms. Icey’s, named after Walker’s grandmother, is Decatur’s best-kept secret even though it has quickly become a culturally hip gathering place for those in the know. When cornbread comes in an iron skillet, and oxtails do as well, you know you’re in a foodie’s dream. Not only are many of the dishes a nod to Southern and soul food culture, but the drinks are mostly handcrafted, giving the place an organic life. The sweet potato waffles are to d

    Final Word

    No word on when Lee and his family will visit Atlanta again. They should definitely check out some of the best black restaurants in Atlanta, and there are plenty. If you like barbecue, see our list of the Best Atlanta BBQ Restaurants.

    As for eateries below I-20, these Southside Atlanta restaurants have developed quite a following.

    The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s  food and drink scene, which has seen a bar explosion in recent years.
