Great fresh soul food. I enjoyed visiting on Fridays. They have the best fried fish. When visiting Atlanta, I will return.

We tried the Beautiful Restaurant yesterday and absolutely loved it. Just an absolutely delicious home-cooked meal, pure comfort food, good for the soul. The ribs were falling off the bone, so flavorful. The dressing, the mac and cheese, the collards. All absolutely unreal! Everybody was so friendly—the diners, the team, the manager. There was such a sense of community. We will definitely be back.

Neighborhood church-run eatery. Soul food at it's best. Absolutely percent worth the drive out to S.W. Atlanta (they also have an in town location). Line service like a Picadilly. Muslim healthy fare like veggie plate is so filling. Have had that before.. Nonetheless less this time we just had to get the fried catfish. The portions are sizeable and the line servers are so nice and friendly. It's like your Grandma fixin' your plate at the stove. They do have a small outdoor patio too.

I visited on 8-3-2025. This restaurant is a Historic Soul Food Treasure! I looked at the menu on the website before I went here. I've been chilling off the beef for months. I've been eating chicken lately so I needed a change. They had a beef short rib plate for me and I got a oxtail plate for Mom. I got dressing with Mac and cheese and cornbread. I got mom mac and cheese with yams and oxtails and cornbread. The food is delicious! One of the best meals I ever had since I've been in the area. Pull up and support. Just be sure to leave me some food. I might just pull up before to make sure that I'm good. Established in 1979 and still going strong!

if you get there early enough, you can get the hot fish straight out of the fryer. The beautiful restaurant has a large variety of food and it’s very tasteful and the atmosphere is great.
