Serving to-die-for cornbread, greens and choice meats, a new eatery opened in metro Atlanta in 2018 and it’s been kind of a big (and good) deal.
Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant from Sim Walker, the proprietor of Midtown’s Negril Village, opened in a modest shopping center at 1371 Clairemont Road in Decatur, 30333.
It quickly became one of the best black-owned restaurants in Atlanta.
The restaurant has a lively, familial atmosphere. On Ms. Icey’s Instagram page, there are several pictures of close friends, family and associates.
When I visited I had the brown stew chicken and rice, which were exceptional. Most of the dishes come in a black skillet, giving the customer a down-home sort of vibe about the kitchen, as if your Grandma was cooking in the rear.
I also had a margarita, which was a spirited cloudly drink made fresh from the bar. I had another.
The eatery’s Instagram page says, “ms.iceyskitchenThis is Marva, Ms. Chan, and Ms. Karlene on one Carrot Juice! Plus they made Ms. Icey’s recipe. You don’t get this just like that. This is years of tradition and experience going into one Carrot Juice! Trying to tell y’all. This a magic moment and plenty more are coming. @ms.iceyskitchen.
We look forward to going to Ms. Icey’s again and experiencing it once again.
Final Word
Atlanta continues to be a place with plentiful things to do, see and eat! If you like that part of town, don’t sleep on College Park either.
