So we actually went here Tuesday 8/23/16 for my brother in laws birthday and let me tell you that everyone was standing around as if there was no work to do. They had a new item on the menu called chicken and waffles. Well, 2 out of the 3 decided that we were going to try it. Not to mention that our waitress kept telling us that the waffles were made fresh in the kitchen. WELL, when they came out, they were cold, and the chicken (finger like strips) were bland. Definitely needed salt. So I asked for the manager and he said to give him 5-10 mins for some new waffles, by the way were as small as my wallet, and the strips were placed on top of the waffles (NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS). So he brought out the new waffles, which were soggy on one side, so I asked the manager were they fresh made, or came frozen. He said they were frozen. I informed him that the waitress said they had a waffle iron in the kitchen, however, as a chef, I knew that they were frozen and had a quick thaw. Needless to say, that I sent all of them back, and had the bill adjusted. If you are going to advertise something as being new, then be creative and make the waffles from scratch instead of selling frozen, soggy waffles with some seasonless chicken pieces......so not impressed and I sure do miss the old way from over 10 years ago. Used to eat here every week. This was my last visit and I do carry a large social media following. Not to mention that I had to wipe off my own table.

A group of 13 came to eat here for thanksgiving and we were not really greeted when we arrived. We were sat down and after 15 min a waitress came to give us untensials more like throwing them to each person. Then after another 15 min another waitress came to ONLY take our drink orders as she only mentioned that time us 3 times. Then wwe asked about getting the picnic family deal, she went to ask if we can get it. Then when she returned she said we could then I said well then we dont need any drinks since that comes with a gallon of iced tea. She then had to confirm it came with iced tea. Then she left to attend other tables and didnt return. We complained with the so called manager and she claimed she had no idea what happened. As if nobody could see 13 people sitting at a table.

After reading the reviews below I was hesitant to try Folks, but my girlfriend really wanted some "comfort food" and it was getting late. Im definitely glad I came; the food was terrific and our server (Blue) was very attentive. The veggies were fresh, the chicken fried steak was tender, and the mac-n-cheese was out of this world. Im not hyperbolizing when I say it may be the best mac-n-cheese Ive ever had....even better than Mary Macs. Total bill for two people, including drinks, desert, and a 23% tip was 31$. Yes, we will definitely be back.

Food was great! Service was a little slow. We knew Folks was a chain and that kept us from trying it for years. Chain soul food usually is box and can food. We decided to try them after receiving their coupons. We hate we waited this long to try them! We both got the two item combo for $11.99 thinking it would be small portions. Both meats were full portions! There are several other soul food places around Atlanta that you will pay that price for 1 meat. Very satisfied! Will be back often.

I was very shocked for my first visit on 7/25 #Monday evening after 4pm I cant remember my waitress name but she was so good to me and my homegirl. she told us about the discount we would recieve if we download the app. the manager on this shift was very polite we cracked a few jokes with him. but the food was delicious. my smothered chopped steak was perfect. I would have passed up on the peach muffins if my waitress hadnt suggested it. Glad I took her advise. I will be back

The food wasnt good at all. The chicken had a watery taste, almost like it had just been frozen. The taste was simar to frozen box banquet fried chicken, not at all like I expected it to be. I ordered two sides of Mac and cheese to go along with my chicken as well. The Mac and cheese was lack luster and I had to add salt. On the flip side the waitress who served my wife and I was very pleasant and helpful. My wife didnt like her food either.

Its been a few years since Ive been in a folks since they closed the location on my side of town. Something hit me today that wanted that squash casserole. Everything was just as I remembered. It was also nice to meet an employee that had been working for over 20 years that had worked at the locations I used to frequent. Glad I stopped in.... (Tucker). Ill definitely be back soon. Also, the bar was a nice touch. I can do that all day everyday.

Why would you attempt to seat someone and proceed to tell them your establishment closes in 4 minutes??? Is that telling me I need to hurry up and eat, order before the kitchen closes although you offer my family and I a seat......dont worry I was excited to try folks for the first time but I will keep on passing by as I usually do...#nocustomerservice #rude #nosouthernnothing your establishment doesnt even deserve a star..

Sometimes you will get a server that is awesome but a lot of times the service is horrible. The food is very good. I love the chicken, chicken livers, chicken tenders, steak tips, steak sandwich and catfish fillets. I think the service has improved in the past few months. I think they may have new management but since I have worked at Folks before I know the management wont be there long. They never are.

We went in the at almost 7pm, it took about 5-10 minutes to get a table. No one greeted us when we came in. The food was not good, it seemed dried out. I have been to this location before and it has never been this horrible. Too make it worse my husband had taken me there for my birthday because he knew I liked the restraunt. Happy Birthday to me. There wont be a next time. Ill go to Applebees instead.

This use to be a decent folks, but over the last year this place has gone down the drain. Most of the employees are rude and uncouth, and the food has went downhill as well. Last time I went in there and ordered a beer I had to present my ID three times, to three different people, one of which was the manager on duty.... Mind you I am 30, 64ft, heavily tattooed, and also have a full beard.

This place has gone really down hill. Its filthy, takes them forever to get you food, and that is if they arent out of what you want to order. Last time I visited they told me AFTER they took my credit card that the machines were down and they brought me a handwritten form to run the card later. Luckily I had cash. I will not return until they fix the growing list of problems.
