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.... �
Eats is Atlanta's best kept secret! Plenty of tasty food, nice urban vibe, customer service impeccable!!!!!! I have five children and always look for inexpensive, cool restaurants in the city as treats to them. We have added Eats to our "favorites" list!
Jenkins chicken, lemon pepper chicken, chicken Alfredo, chicken chilli...DELICIOUS!!!!
I used to live down the street from here 21 years ago. It was so nice to be in town and grab a bite to eat. The place looked pretty much the same and the food is still delicious.
Best food at the best prices. The Turkey Meatloaf is the best in the universe. If you desire tasty treats, do yourself a favor and go to Eats.

Best jerk chicken ever. Sides are on point great place 2 eat at
Fast service, substantial quantities, and the best jerk chicken in the city. Possible to eat healthy here and be full for hours.
Still the best deal in town! Great food, cheap prices, good staff. Doesn't get any better than this.
I've been going to this restaurant for almost a decade. But yesterday I went and got the jerk chicken and it was the best jerk chicken I've had there or pretty much anywhere else. Only wish I didn't live so far away.
You can never go wrong with Eats. The food is always delicious. The prices are the best in Atlanta.
I love the jerk chicken. Best in Atlanta that I have had. The pasta is amazing. Been going here for 20 years. One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta.
Loved it when I was in college in early/mid 90s... still love to go there today when I visit Atlanta.. awesome service.. phenomenal food :)
The Best jerk chicken I've ever had with tasty sides. A definite place to stop when I'm in town.
The fastest service ever!!! The portions were huge and the food was tasty.
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
I wasn’t expecting much from Eats. I’ve always driven by it and have never given it a thought. But because it’s in the passbook, we decided to try it.
It’s a small restaurant that’s cafeteria style. It’s very old school with great comfort food. The meats are $6. I got the Sunday special, BBQ Chicken with Mac and cheese and it was delicious. Sides are $2.80 so your whole meal is less than $9. That’s not a bad deal.
I would definitely come back.
Found out about this place from my haircutter. Good, stick-to-your-ribs fare. Got there shortly before closing but didn't feel rushed. Excellent food at an outstanding price. I had the jerk chicken special. Not the best location but that only adds to the fun.
I miss eating good soul food, my friend only cooked it for me. So after work I saw this place and just walking distance.
I did not expect that the sides are good portions so my plate is like a party plate 😆
I like the jerk chicken (caution it's mildly hot may not be for everyone), the gravy and mashed potatoes are worth visiting, max and cheese is good, I'm kinda bias on this one because my friend cook the best mac and cheese 😁 cornbread is ok. Jamaican ginger beer is good combination with my plate.
Atmosphere is relaxing and food is fast to serve . I'll be back here soon to try their other menu
You can't go wrong here. The quality and quantity of the food make it more than a bargain. They have vegetarian options and daily specials. It is easy to find located in East Atlanta. Parking is a limited, and can be difficult to maneuver, especially when patrons are not considerate of others.
I've been coming here for great food since the early 90s. This was the late night hangout after my band(s) performed. Eats has the same simple and cool aesthetic from the earlier days. Thanks for keeping this one of the dopest eating places!
It was my first time going. The place gives me cozy/ relaxing vibes🧘🏾♂️💤 that’s why imma go again. Food tasted like a home cooked meal. 10/10 they got my business💪🏾💯😆 Shout Out To My Boss For Taking Me There💯 Aka Byrd
My favorite place to eat in Georgia. The Jerk chicken is a half of chicken full of jerk flavor. The mac n cheese is delicious. Love the sweet potato with cinnamon and the greens go really well with it all. The give you a generous portion of food with cornbread.
