“ Wow, this restaurant is amazing. All of the food is like eating at grand ma's kitchen. Get there early, people line up to get this food. Great place ”
“ We came by for dinner and we totally loved it. Between the two of us we ordered turkey and dressing, broccoli casserole, sweet potato soufflé, deviled eggs, a fried pork chop, mac and cheese, and scalloped potatoes. Neither of us could finish all of our food and we took it home. Everything was delicious and well seasoned, no condiments needed. We eyed the desserts and they looked incredible. The portions were gigantic and the pricing was reasonable. We are absolutely looking forward to coming back when we want some country cooking. ”
“ I used to eat here when I lived in the ATL and always enjoyed the southern cooking that beats any other cafeteria my parents took me to (aka - Morrisons). Went with an old high school buddy that never ate there before, even though both of us worked together right across 285. Got the fried chicken, greens (of course) and fried okra. Got there before the rush (always a downside) and enjoyed our dinner with someone celebrating their 80th birthday. This is down-home cooking, though prices have really been raised since I ate there 20+ years ago! ”
“ Matthews is the real deal. Southern/soul food cooking at its best. Matthews has been around for years for good reason. I don't think the recipes have changed over the decades and that's a great thing, because they are clearly quintessential southern cooking at its best. So many of the customers are regulars that you feel as though you've walked into a family reunion! This is a must visit for anyone who wants to experience down home southern cooking in Atlanta! ”
