Best chicken I've ever had in my life and the service was spectacular! I didn't have to wait a minute before my meal (the special jerk chicken) was out. It's amazing! The owner is super nice too, very friendly. 11/10 would recommend to anyone. It's not a frilly uptight place, you can eat with your hands, it's really laid back and casual, and you can't beat a good dinner and drink for <$10. Amazing!
This has been my favorite go-to spot for jerk chicken for over 20 years. It still has the original soul and even a lot of the original employees from all those years ago! The food is amazingly consistent and I've never been disappointed. If only I could make collard greens like they do.... �
I haven't been here in years. I brought a small group of folks and wanted to pay for everyone. Even after explaining to the cashier I ended paying per person or groups. There could be a better process.
The food was ok and most were satisfied. I got the turkey meatloaf and wasn't happy. No seasonings and without hooking up a meatloaf? What's the point.
It was still good to see an affordable place still located here.
Can't take anyone seriously who doesn't love Eats. Best pricing for portions I've had in Atlanta. Their catering is also some of the most reasonable in Atlanta. Scratches the itch that Carver's left long ago. Good southern food. The jerk chicken is the best, get it with greens and cornbread. It's an absolute institution and I hope it's here forever. I will always love Eats.
Mac and cheese 4.5/5
Broccoli casserole 5/5
Lemon pepper chicken 4/5
Cornbread 3/5 I like sweet cornbread
Good people good food
We used to go here all the time 10-13 years ago when my wife and I were dating and when we were single before then. The menu has remained the same and consistently good. We like the Pasta bar but we love the meat and veggies bar. Our favourite is Jerk Chicken and the Turkey Meatloaf. Our sides are green beans, black eyed peas, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. All the dishes with their nice corn bread.
The juiciest chicken I've ever had in my 23 years of living!! I ordered the jerk chicken and the food is also a great value!
Faster than fast food!!! Atlanta institution! This restaurant has been around for decades and doesn't disappoint. 90% of the time this food comes out quicker than at McDonald's. The thing I really like about eats menu is its basic and it comes out so fast that I didn't even finish paying before it was plated. It's great for a quick bite or the linger. The jerk chicken is to die for the lasagna is super awesome. It's super clean staff is friendly and courteous. I highly recommend this restaurant. Oh and it's quite reasonable!!
So we tried this place today and my thoughts are as follows.
Lemon pepper chicken
10/10 - well seasoned and cooked perfectly.
Broccoli casserole
8/10 - needed seasoning a little but good
Black eyed peas
2/10 - bland as can be and not cooked well enough
Collard greens
6/10 - needed seasoning also and to be cooked a little more
Cornbread
5/10 - too dense/dry
Rice and gravy
9/10 - that peppery gravy was excellent!
Green beans
6/10 - again needed more cooking time and seasoning.
If you're used to TRUE southern soul food - this may not be for you... as nothing is seasoned heavily the way we season, no pork is used, and nothing is as tender as we prefer it. But in that area - it's understandable. Food was still good and reasonable priced, and all the men working in there have beautiful souls. They alone will be the reason we come back.
Their health score was a whopping 100 when we went also. These guys are doing great work - period.
This food is the bomb. A perfect Meat and 3...well 5 in my case and they were all delicious. The barbecue chicken was fall off the bone deliciousness with a vinegar based sauce. Damn I say! The veggies were so good that I may have been seen lacking the gravy off my wrist because I wasn't wasting it! Go eat at Eats!
I am the hardest to please when it comes to dining out and I love this place everytime I come. It's one of my favorite places in atlanta. They have great prices and employees create a nice friendly environment. Without question worth trying if youre interested enough to be reading reviews of it.
I’ve gone to eats since it first opened and have lived in Midtown for 46 years. It has been an absolute staple that has not changed and has been consistent. I ate there today and was really pleased to see that they have a 100A rating with the health department, which is virtually unheard of especially in the city of Atlanta, kudos to eat you can’t go wrong
