"The GOAT Black City" The Official: ATL Discussion Thread

[MajesticLion]

I rock with The Beautiful Restaurant on Cascade. That's my shyt for real.

Damn you went back into the mists of time on this one

Hattie Mae's is legit.

If you mean Hattie Marie's, then yes.it.is.

Still though...it makes zero sense as to why a city that markets itself as "the Black Mecca" has any sort of lack of quality soul food. Like why doesn't ATL have a style of breaded fried chicken to enjoy ANYWHERE. Gus's is Memphis and Hatties B's is Nashville. I'm so sick off seeing these damn buffalo wing and fish spots (ALL FOREIGN OWNED) in every fukking shopping center where Black predominate. It's the same damn menu everywhere. This shyt is a fukking joke. It makes absolutely no sense why smaller cities like Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, etc etc run circles around ATL in terms of soul food and food in general. There is something not to trust about this situation. Food is a cultural staple, and we see African American food in Atlanta (again the "Black Mecca") being utterly discarded.

ATL food is mid as hell. But ATL historically was a boule city/city of the educated. The cities with the best soul food are always more rural in roots.

I fukk with Hattie Marie’s too. I like the vibe and shyt they got going on in College Park. But that shyt a bytch to get to from where I live. They built a new one in Decatur so that’s the one I go to now.

They finally opened it? Nice! I'm at the point where if I have to go searching to find parking I don't bother and just go somewhere else. Downtown Decatur has developed tons of options recently, I'll have to take the train a do a walking foodie tour or something.

Wild Crab nearby isn't spectacular but kinda okay. Actually I think it was someone in this thread who suggested that one.

Used to love The Beautiful. Was literally a couple blocks from my house when I lived over there. I had an unspeakably bad eating experience there and will never return

 

[Wink Beaufield]

probably some white folk or scary black folk who didn’t realize they’d be surrounded by nikkas down here

homelessness & the spike in crime probably played a reason into those negative reviews as well

I figured that. Them reviews were complaining about the smell of weed throughout the hotel.

 

[staticshock]

Look at the crowd for that game


Giving me old school Doug-Mays at Lakewood or Southwest DeKalb-Stephenson games at Memorial

 

[Atlrocafella]

Any of y’all had the Peach Cobbler Cafe?

I keep hearing the radio promos and Grandma talkin spicy asf about the cooking but is the food actually good?

Im tempted to get a plate but I’ve never heard of a legit soul food place in Atlanta in Buckhead.

They are opening up on right next to me, but based on this thread, I might not even fool with it.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Ol' girl who got kidnapped and killed by lakewood lived on the next street over from me. Terrible.
