Donnie’s Country Cookin’ right there off Clairmont between 85 and Buford Hwy in the Skye Hill shopping plaza. Definitely one of the top 3 restaurants in that corridor. You can get meat n three for under $6 which includes a drink! Now how ya gonna beat that!?!?

AJC – You guys seriously need to do a “Best of Atlanta” and a “Best of the Suburbs”. Require all submissions for Atlanta to be ITP. In no way do Covington, Alpharetta or Norcross qualify as Atlanta.

Matthews in Tucker. Lots of places come and go, but they’ve been at it since the 1950s. Oh and my Granny use to make their breakfast biscuits – so there…

Curt’s Cafeteria – Oakwood, great tasting food, especially love stopping by for a Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit in the morning.

Melissa, you are so wrong. The entire metro Atlanta area is considered to be Atlanta.

Little House Cafe on Marietta or Mary Mac’s, but there really isn’t any really good country cookin inside the perimeter that I’ve found. You gotta go out in the sticks to get the good stuff.
You people that like Carver’s grocery must be used to eating food out of a can.

There is a Conoco gas station on Cherokee Street (off wade green) that serves meat and three and breakfast too, the place has a line out the door every single mornign and lunchtime. The food is amazing. The place is clean, the people are nice and no one has to place an order and everyne is called by name. Its incredible

PSA: If you travel to Florida for spring break, take exit 18 in Valdosta and go to “Old Time”. You will truly experience southern cooking. There’s one in Macon, but it doesn’t compare to the one in Valdosta.
I’ve been to Matthews, Donnie, Our way Cafe, no comparison.

I’ve been to Carver’s twice. I’m sorry, but I really wonder where the lover’s of Carver’s grew up? Has to be New England or waaaaay out west. Busy Bee and Mary Mac’s make Carver’s look like a frozen meal. I’m sorry. Nice folks over there, but they can’t hold a candle to either of those two. Honorable mention to Colannade…if for nothing more than the atmosphere.

Little This Little That in Jonesboro, Georgia. SUPERB soul food and the prices are very affordable. The finest restaurant in this part of the city.
Mmm mmm good

Mary Mac’s food is great, but the new owner has priced way too many people out. But my favorite is the Colonnade. Been going there for 30 years.

I agree A Little This A Little that hands down. Lewis Wilkins, the owner, knows all the customers by name. He serves up nice sized portions, and uses fresh vegetables, and real CHEESE for his mac and cheese. His cornbread recipe is a family secret (it’s simply delicious). The coolest thing is that he also caters so you can serve his food for weddings, family reunions, or office parties. The only thing he does not serve is banana puddin’! Little this A Little That is: ALL THAT!

Matthew’s Cafeteria in Tucker…nobody else is even close. Colonnade is pretty good, and closer in town.

It’s no longer around, alas…but I’m going to mention “Deacon Burton’s” just for old times’ sake.

Matthews Cafeteria in Tucker hands down.
Bet deal? Wednesday Fried Chicken day at Donnie’s Country Cooking on Beaver Ruin Road in Lilburn. $6.50 with tax…unbeatable.
Rexall Grill in Duluth is awesome but has become way overpriced.

Good call, whoever mentioned Deacon Burton’s…that place was wonderful. Sad the way they let it run down after he died. Had some family squabbles, I think.
