OK's a cool place

by Dogman

I appreciated the quantity and quality of the food. Plenty to take home and at a price that didn't break the bank. $30 for a couple...at their quality is unheard of.

The staff was very pleasant. I enjoyed their attention to detail.

• Pros: Great quality and quantiy, friendly service
• Cons: loud

Mmm, mmm, good southern with a twist

by ladieswholunch

The parking is not good, the wait is not good, the service is not even that good, but the food is tasty! The sweet potato chips are delicious - get two orders and a sweet tea and you're set! The food is southern in nature but slightly off-center to appeal to those looking for something different. OK Cafe is OK by us!

• Pros: The Sweet Potato Chips Rock
• Cons: The service doesn't rock and the wait can be eternal

Great Diggs in Atlanta, OK Cafe

by ABPMonkey

Hey!!! You got to check this place out. I found this is a one of a kind place in Buckhead. Apparently everyone in Atlanta has found it cause it was packed.

Walking in, your greeted with a blast of Souther aroma and an atmosphere where "Everything's OK!" I enjoyed a plate packed with fresh veggies, with NO MEAT, as I am a vegetarian; I'm greatfull for that! My guest however devoured Country Fried Steak accompanied by two veggies. Dessert, one was enough; there are plenty of selections to satisfy every taste....ice cream, banana royal, chocolate, coconut and carrot cake...pies....shakes... The service was gracious and attentive.

Check this place out! It will be worth your while.

• Cons: Loud when busy

BEWARE if you have food allergies

by new91349

I have been to OK Cafe many times but never previously ordered anything fried. I am allergic to shellfish so when I sat down and saw the list of proclamations of quality food which included:

No MSG

Bread baked fresh daily

Organic Meet only

Eggs Prepared Fresh

Only Canola Oil used in frying

Only Olive Oil used in cooking

I was reassured I would have no problem making a simple request that my french fries be cooked in oil not used for shellfish. WRONG...VERY WRONG. I was informed they have one big vat in which anything fried in the restaurant is place - shellfish, french fries, fish, vegetables..everything and they would not be able to grant my request.

I was shocked to be sure. This is not a greasy spoon. Desptie it's down home cooking atmosphere..it is pricey. Yet, they throw everything you ordered fried into the same vat of oil. YUCK. If any of you are vegetarians, I am afraid ordering a vegetable platter isn't going to do you much good if any of the vegetables are fried. And..if you are like me and have an allergy to shellfish WATCH OUT!

Great food

by Molly2323

No matter what time of day you go here there is always a wait, but there is good reason for that. There service and food are excellent. I think the longest we waited is 25 minutes, so it is not too bad. The wait staff is very friendly and the restaurants decor is a mix of country and urban.

For breakfast we love the omelette and the pancakes are huge so be ready. For dinner we like to get the chilli and split a vegetable plate or roast.

The only complaint is whatever you order it seems to take some time to arrive, but it is worth it.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: Long wait

Great Diner atmospher, great, no fabulous food

by alene1

I've been to OK Cafe about 1/2 dozen times. I love every single dish they serve. The food is superb southern fare that is well worth the trip, no matter what part of the city you live in. I've had the country fried steak, meatloaf, pot-roast, chicken pot-pie, roast turkey with gravy, and the rocket burger. Loved every dish. The meatloaf has to be the best meatloaf I've ever eaten bar none. Their sweet potato chips with blue cheese dressing is a must! Just gotta try it. Their shakes are also yummie! I've taken out of town guests I love it so much. The only draw back I can say is that when it's busy, it's kind of noisy. That puts a damper on table conversation, but the food makes it all worth while. Mmm mmm.

• Pros: awesome southern cookin'
• Cons: none, everything there is a pro!

Great food, great service, awesome carryout

by tucker005

Wow what a sleeper. From scratch comfort food and the healthy menu offerings is a bonus. The carry out is fast, easy and really good food. Enough to last several meals. Must be the best Squash Casserole in Atlanta, maybe even anywhere. Servers are cute, retro 50's style and paid attention to every detail. In and out in under an hour. The OK Cafe is a great find and we'll be back.

• Pros: Fantastic service, great healty alternatives, nothin from a can here!
