    One reviewer says: “The staff in this store was fantastic. After TWO terrible issues with the other locations on Virginia, it was refreshing to go into a Waffle House where the staff actually cared.

    The two ladies serving and the guy cooking were very polite and professional.

    This is the ONLY location on Virginia Ave. that I will ever go to again.”

    One Google reviewer says: “This location was recently torn down and rebuilt so everything is shiny new, including the attitudes. Expanded parking, great service, clean and new with all the standard WH favs… what’s not to love?”

    Atlanta Waffle House:  860 Glenwood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316

    One reviewer says: “Very friendly staff and great cooks. Its a newly built waffle house, so it’s seem to cleaner than most. As most Waffle House locations, it can get pretty rachet after 1:30am …when clubs and bars close, they’re extremely busy.”

    Atlanta Waffle House review:  4346 Fulton Industrial Blvd SW, Atlanta, GA 30336

    One reviewer says: “The place was very clean but the waitress messed up or orders and wanted to argue with us about it. The cook came over to apologize for the confusion . He made the experience worth the trip. All in all not the worst but with out that cook I would not venture out to it again. Knowing he works there I might give it another shot some other day. Politeness and accountability go a long way in my book.”

    Atlanta Waffle House: 66 5th St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308

    One reviewer says: “This waffle House serves the waffles which are TO DIE FOR. I went here after my birthday dinner with my friends and their waffles were ALL ANYONE COULD TALK ABOUT! From the variety of DELICIOUS flavors to server’s attentiveness and lovable personalities , there’s no reason not to visit this place for your next event!”

    On TripAdvisor reviewer said this: “I’ve heard of and seen numerous Waffle House’s while travelling. It seems to be primarily a Southeastern US chain; there are none in California. I suppose it is similar to the Denny’s or IHOP brands in California, although this Waffle House I visited was smaller and skankier than any Denny’s or IHOP’s I’ve been to. Still, if famed Southern chef Sean Brock takes Anthony Bourdain to Waffle House on the latter’s eponymous TV show, I figure it’s worth a try.

    “There were 2 Waffle Houses within walking distance to my downtown hotel. This was the closer one. It’s gritty. There are a few tables and booths, plus 2 small counters (one high, one low) facing the open kitchen. All surfaces are hard and hopefully disinfectable. While I was there, the cement-floored kitchen was literally being hosed down with a garden hose (there is a floor drain). The restrooms, which I did not use, seem to be frequented by folks who aren’t eating here and perhaps don’t have a place to call home. If Atlanta had health inspection letter grades posted on restaurant windows (as is customary and required in Los Angeles), this Waffle House grade surely would NOT be an “A”. I opted to order my food to go.”

    One TripAdvisor reviewer says: “I used to travel to Georgia a lot to visit a friend and that is where I was introduced to Waffle House, that staple of the south. My friend indoctrinated me to Waffle House early on. As a New Yorker, its like walking on to an alien space ship…. Hard to imagine eating there. But eat I have. Many times. Other than the harsh lighting, cockroaches on the counter, greasy incredibly-unhealthy food, and the local “atmosphere”…. it’s a cheap meal. That’s the best I can say and I will leave it at that. — So cheap that when we once left a $5 tip, the waitress ran out to the parking lot to thank us as we were leaving. I guess she never got a $5 tip before?

    I’ve brought other New Yorkers in to Waffle Houses in other places and they refused to eat in there. Clearly, expansion in to New York will not be happening any time soon.”

    The food was good and reasonably priced. The pecan waffles were amazing!!!! The service was just ok, we had to ask for drinks and refills several times.

    It’s only about a block from the Georgia Aquarium / World of Coca-Cola.

    Note: Do NOT try to order pancakes at a Waffle House. They do NOT appreciate it. 🙂 I would go there again.”

    One TripAdvisor commenter said this: “This is the best thing you can get… the Fiesta Omelet, add mushrooms, the has browns scattered smothered diced peppered and capped, wheat toast and a large chocolate milk! You won’t be disappointed!”

    Final Word

    There are few places as well known and prominent in Atlanta than Waffle House. As Waffle House reviews go, you won’t find any extravagant praises or over-the-top commendations, after all, it’s Waffle House.

    But what you will find is food made with heart. And that’s what many people desperately desire today. The yellow-trimmed eatery worked its way to popularity by first serving customers in a greasy house-setup in Avondale Estates in Decatur’s shadow.

    Now it is one of the greatest American breakfast institutions ever created. And as much as we think we know and appreciate the place, there are tons of insights we can learn about the House from other people.

  • Buttermilk Biscuit menu review in Atlanta.

    Review: Buttermilk Biscuit in College Park

    3 Min Read

    One of the best places to eat in College Park (technically Atlanta) is Buttermilk Biscuit, which opened a few months ago. I had originally tried it on its second day of operation, and there were only a few customers inside.

    When I came back a month later, the place was pretty much packed. Its hours run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so you’d better get there early if you want a good seat.

    Buttermilk Biscuit exterior building

    How To Find Buttermilk Biscuit

    Buttermilk Biscuit is located at 634 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    What I Ordered

    Ok, so I’ve gone there several times. The first two times I ordered the Cajun Shrimp and Grits, which come with creamy grits, jumbo shrimp, sautéed spinach, peppers and onions, cherry tomatoes, award winning Cajun cream sauce.

    After that, I ordered my go-to: The Early Bird, which is four crispy chicken wings, served with our famous waffles, powdered sugar, and maple butter.

    Buttermilk Biscuit menu in Atlanta.

    You also have the choice of different butters for a 50 cent upcharge: Blueberry Butter, Strawberry Butter, Maple Butter and Peach Butter.

    The waffles, which have just the right crunchiness on the ends, but are soft in the middle, come sprinkled with confection sugar, which I love. The chicken wings are sizeable and are seasoned in the Southern tradition. The meal may look like small to some, but you’ll be full when you finish. At least, I was.

    The customer service was still trying to settle down after opening recently, but the to-go orders are fast and accurate. You have to order on the Toast app to get your food, which is an efficient process.

    Overall, Buttermilk Biscuit Gets an A

    An A Grade, means it’s worth your while and I would say Buttermilk Biscuit makes the grade with ease.

    Final Word

    Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.

    Here Are The Best Fruits And Vegetables To Grow In Atlanta

    5 Min Read

    Spring is in the air in Georgia, and that means it’s an ideal time to cultivate a garden in Atlanta and others parts of the Peach State.

    Not only is it a very sustainable decision, but it’s a great idea when it comes to feeding your family.

    In this article, we’ll tell you the best fruits and vegetables you can grow in Atlanta as well as the best times to grow them and other things about planting.

    What Vegetables Grow In Spring In Georgia?

    In the springtime is the best season for planting and growing crops in northwest Georgia. The weather is mild enough to support substantial growth and the wet season of May makes for ample blossoming to occur.

    Around March is a good time to plant your beans, no matter if they’re of the lima, pole or snap variety. It’s also a great time to plant corn, but be cognizant of where you put it because it could shade over plants as it grows taller and taller.

    You can also plant your peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, okra and squash. Your melons such as canteloupe and watermelon will benefit by an early spring planting as well.

    After the first planting, you should lay out a second round of seeds two to three weeks later.

    What Vegetables Grow In Winter In Georgia?

    In the winter, Georgia farmers can really continue their harvests if they plant turnips, which thrive in the colder months.

    Leafy greens like collards, kale and mustards all take around a month to six weeks to mature, which could take you into March in most cases.

    Also, vegetables with long growth periods under the earth include carrots, broccoli, lettuce, radishes spinach and arugula.

    Here Are All The Fruits & Vegetables You Can Grow In Atlanta

    Growing your own food has long been a Southern tradition, but it has taken on special significance with the coronavirus pandemic.

    A lot of people think Georgia is just known for its peaches (Peach State, I get it), but the fact is that apples, watermelons, peanuts and many other fruits and vegetables are major crops here.

    Let’s look at some of the many fruits and vegetables you can grow in Georgia.

    What Fruits Are Native To Georgia?

    A post shared by Andrea (@migardenergirl) on


    When it comes to fruit, Atlanta is an inhospitable place to grow citrus such as oranges, plums and mangoes. Bananas are possible, but they’ll typically grow on the small side.

    Some fruits have been imported from elsewhere and have literally taken root in Georgia. But there are also some fruits that have always been here.

    Here are some fruits that grow well in Atlanta and other parts of Georgia:

    Georgia’s Grapes (Muscadines)

    How to grow muscadines in Georgia

    Georgia’s grape industry is focused on the muscadine, which is a South America-native fruit with a think purplish skin and musky flavor.

    Muscadines are high in antioxidants and fiber. These grapes are easy to grow in Georgia as well.

    Crab Apples

    How to grow crab apples in Georgia

    Georgia is well known for its crab apples, which grow well in Atlanta. Crab apple trees can be planted in spring, summer and fall as long as they get plenty of sunlight.

    You should water them generously in the first month or so, allowing the roots to spread in the Georgia clay.

    Pears

    Pear trees in Atlanta, Georgia

    The most popular pears to grow in Georgia are the Bartlett and Anjou, which are European varieties. Although you can grow pears in metro Atlanta, a prevalent bacterial fungus makes it difficult to do so commercially, although there are exceptions.

    Pears

    How to grow peach tree in Atlanta, Georgia

    The peach is Georgia’s state fruit, but it hasn’t always been. Georgia experienced a bad cotton crop sometime after 1920 and switched its focus to producing peaches, even adopting the moniker “The Peach State” for marketing purposes.

    It’s true, that peaches grow well in Georgia, but they are only typically available here from  mid-May to early August. After that, peaches are imported from other parts of the world.

    Final Words

    Atlanta and other parts of northwest Georgia has some very fertile soil for growing fruits and vegetables. All it takes is some time and effort on your part.

    If you prefer to buy your own fruits and vegetables, here’s where the local farmer’s markets are in Atlanta.

    Atlantafi.com is bringing you the latest information from the Peach State’s capital city.

    If you’re in the market for a nice plot of land, you’re making a wise decision. Real estate prices in rural areas are going up, but are still affordable. Here’s how to buy land in Georgia.

The chicken was perfectly cooked, not greasy, and the seasoning was delicious. The shrimp and grits were amazing and taste great. The omelette was delicious. The portions were good and prices are reasonable. The owner came out and tuned the TV to a show for the kids. She brought a chair out for the baby in carseat.

    How To Cook Soul Food

    Soul food takes certain ingredients for it to be great. Here is what you need to cook some real soul food:

    Soul food is a Southern tradition. Not every restaurant is worthy of the religion. Only those that adhere to the time-tested and working class code associated with the soulful dishes and recipes can rightfully hold the crown and be befitted with the moniker.

    What Is The Best Soul Food In Atlanta?

    Atlanta has many restaurants that are categorized as “soul food.,  but are they really? A better description for some of these eateries though, would be Southern food, because many restaurants below the Mason-Dixon line feature some of the same dishes.

    When you think of Southern food, though, you’re talking about as many as 11 states and the way different subcultures prepare their food.

    If we add that little distinction, great restaurants such as Mary Mac’s Tea Room on Ponce de Leon Avenue and The Colonnade on Cheshire Bridge Road clearly are two of the best.

    Of course, how those dishes are prepared is what really differentiates one from the other.

    What Celebrities Have Restaurants In Atlanta?

    Atlanta has many celebrities that have opened up restaurants. Rapper and actor Ludacris was the force behind Chicken+Beerat the airport. Love & Hip Hop’s Kirk and Rasheeda Frost gave us Frost Bistro.

    How To Make Tacos Like Your Favorite Atlanta Restaurant

    4 Min Read

    We all love to go out to eat from time to time, but there’s nothing like cooking at home. What’s for dinner? Homemade tacos!

    Have you ever thought about creating tacos yourself? It’s not hard! You can make them just like your favorite Atlanta restaurant that serves Mexican fare. In this article, we’re going to show you how from the best taco recipe we have.

    Before we show you how to create a taco that rocks, let’s get into what makes a perfect taco.

    How To Make A Taco

    A taco consists of a tortilla made of wheat or corn. If you cook it just a bit, you’ll have the right consistency and texture you need to fill the taco with ground beef, chicken or some other meat.

    Speaking of meat, you may be wondering what you can put inside of a taco. Here are just some of the fillings you can use for a taco:

    • Ground beef
    • Pork
    • Chicken
    • Fish (salmon, catfish, halibut, etc.)
    • Cheese
    • Vegetable medley

    There is so much you can do with a taco and so many ways to create one. Because it is a dish that lends itself to so much diversity and variety, the taco is truly a global food.

    Along with the meat filling, you want to add some other things, such as some type of greenery and spices, sauces and other condiments.

    Here Is The Best Taco Recipe

    To make this awesome taco, you’re going to need several ingredients, including cheese and other toppings. We’re going to go over everything, but first, let’s talk about the meat you need to use.

    What kind of beef should you use?

    It’s best to use 100% lean ground beef in your taco, but even 90% will work. You don’t want a lot of grease to be in your tortilla. So, you don’t want your beef to be too fatty.

    I personally use Pace Taco mild seasoning and sprinkle it over my beef.

    As an alternative, you can also use Yoders Canned Taco Seasoned Beef if you want everything already done for you.

    Instructions

    • Turn your stove’s heat up to medium high
    • Add your ground beef in a skillet
    • Add garlic pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder and chili powder
    • Cook the beef while tossing it periodically
    • Once the beef is about done, add tomato sauce
    • Add water if you want to stretch the sauce, but if not, no water
    • Once the sauce is brought to a boil, set oven to low
    How to make tacos - best taco recipe

    Here are just some of the non-meat fillings you can use in a taco:

    • Salsa
    • Shredded cheese
    • guacamole
    • sour cream
    • vegetables
    • lettuce
    • onion
    • tomatoes
    • chiles

    Now let’s get into the measurements of the ingredients you need the best taco recipe to take shape:

    Taco Ingredients

    • Taco shells (hard shells or soft tortillas)
    • 1 lb. 90% to 100% lean ground beef
    • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
    • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
    • 1 white onion cut in 1/2 inch rounds
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
    • 1/4 cup water (optional)
