Q’s Restaurant

This restaurant with all the wonderful atmosphere serves terrible, bland and boring food. I have no idea who these family members are of theirs that are posting the great reviews

Regular old meat + 2. Good food, good service, not a whole lot else to say here, except that you should go ahead and get the ban a pudding.

The wait was terrible! If you are wanting to stop and grab something for breakfast on your way to work you can forget about being on time! I waited 30 minutes for a chicken egg and cheese biscuit and I’m still waiting as we speak! I really want to ask for a refund!

My mother wanted some food from here I got ox tails for here and rice. I asked about the baked chicken and I asked for Breast & Leg the lady said it Breast & wing & Leg quarter Got home & noticed that it was just a small dry piece of breast with no flavor I called and she stated that She told me Breast only. I listen great had she said that she told me breast only. She did not say that I will never go there again. I try to support urban business but this happens so I will purchase food for my mother anywhere else but this place.

Came back to update my review. Went here with a friend for breakfast. Had Fish, Grits, Eggs and Toast. I darn near inhaled that food it was so good. The place was full so apparently breakfast here is the business. My only complaint is it took so long for them to cook it but they were also trying to get the lunch food out as well. All in all it was on point.

My favorite for Soul Food in Atlanta. Sometimes I get a craving that compels me to drive from wherever I am to East Point, usually for their slow cooked buttery tasting cabbage, but sometimes butter beans; sometimes rutabagas. I always get the dressing. Sometimes ribs or turkey wings or chicken fried steak, but the taste once it crosses my mind I drives miles to recapture is vegetables cooked with soul. I don’t think It’s ever occurred to tourist promoter types to point out that just 2 stops on MARTA from the airport is probably the visitor’s quickest, cheapest best taste of authentic Atlanta.

Good southern cooking, first time here for lunch. Reasonable price, not the most personable staff, but could be an off day…

Went there for lunch. Neighborhood seems a little rough. It took awhile for Q to warm up to us, but she eventually did. I tried as much as I could since this was my one shot at soul food. The sweet potatoes and rib tips were great. The baked turkey was also good. The ox tail was okay. The fried chicken didn’t have any flavor and the chicken fried steak was bad. The sweet tea was too sweet. The carrot cake was good also.

I soooo wish New York breakfast spots served chicken fried steak! But then again maybe my waistline is grateful that we don’t see it often in NY. My friend & her husband picked me up at the airport & we drove straight to this spot. Yes I ate 2 breakfasts in 2 hours, don’t judge me! I’m on vacation. Nice cozy spot that had all the southern favorites. Staff was friendly & the food was hot & good. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs & cheese on toast. What an awesome combo! The steak had a nice crust & was flavorful & tender. The eggs were scrambled with soft fluffy curds, just how I like them, with an ample piece of American cheese that was melted perfectly. A couple of splats of hot sauce & I was in heaven. The toast was crisp with butter, yet soft on the inside. And don’t let me forget the fried green tomatoes I got on the side. They needed a little salt but everything else about them was delicious. I could eat here every day for breakfast. Hats off to my friends husband for bringing us here. Great choice.

Rest should food place. Serves all your favorites daily and has a rotating menu. From oxtail a to Turkey wings. The breakfast is also very good. Combination platters include grits and eggs and toast or biscuits. The staff is friendly and the food is always good.

Lovely little shop in downtown east point. Served cafeteria style. Staff seems nice enough.
BUT Piccadilly and S&S taste far better. So unless you like diabetic and hypertension friendly bland food, go there for a quick lunch.
The greens are sans flavor, the Mac and cheese tastes odd like fake than blue box Kraft cheese, the cornbread has no salt, sugar or butter in the mix. Only the dressing was passable on my veggie plate and it even required gravy.
BUT my dad loves this place, so if you’re over 70 (or not southern and don’t know any better), do go!

Great food. Great service. First time to Atl. The food did justice. I ordered the fried whiting, candied yams, collard greens, Mac n cheese. It was excellent. Cleared my plate

Let’s get something out of the way first: I was born and raised in the deep South on my great-grandmother’s decades old family recipes handed down. I KNOW soul food! This restaurant has no soul and I hardly think what they serve should be called «food». Is it edible? yes. Is it worth your money? maybe.
Let me also add that I grew up in East Point so this is not my first visit to Q’s. It has been in the community for awhile, but the food has not gotten better. The meat entrees are not too bad. Such as, the turkey wings or baked chicken; but it doesn’t take a five star chef to throw meat in an oven and bake it. I think the delight in a soul food restaurant comes from its’ side dishes and desserts; which represent the creativity of the recipes that African slaves would churn out with the vegetable crops and little table scraps that plantation owners gave them.
IMO, the vegetables taste like dressed up canned versions of something served in a prison cafeteria. I think the best side dish they serve is the dressing; which does happily remind me of food cooked for the holidays. (It’s very moist and flavorful.) The corn muffins melt like butter in your mouth and one of these stars belong to them alone. It’s very difficult to find a restaurant that serves fresh rutabagas cooked southern-​style: Q’s serves them but they taste oddly seasoned or overly-​ripened. A constant disappointment in my life. Almost like a bad ex-​boyfriend that you keep taking back because you hope that one day it will get better… but it doesn’t.
The macaroni and cheese is oily and lackluster. It even looks suspect when it is being served to you because while it is presented in the traditional baked casserole style dish, there’s no substance under the melted layer of cheese. Where’s the oomph?! There is none. Just overly boiled noodles stuck together by what may seem to be butter or… I don’t even know. It’s a mystery. Stouffer’s frozen tastes much better. Q’s is my choice when I do not want a drive-​thru bag of oil from a fast food joint and it’s very convenient because it’s a stone’s throw from the East Point train station, but it’s not anything to write home about.
The interior is set-​up like a tiny café version of Picadilly’s. You go through an entry point into a line where you see a cafeteria style buffet of hot-​water serving pans filled with food and serving spoons hanging off the side. You pick your items, and move to the end of the line where you meet the cash register.
Oh, I almost forgot! I have tried a few of the dessert cakes there and they aren’t too bad. They have a very dense, cornbread-​like consistency. They aren’t light, fluffy or rich like classic homemade versions. However, they are worth giving a try on a good day.
The owner is usually the one checking you out at the cash register: a beige colored Black woman, about mid-​late 40’s with short hair. She pretends to be friendly but it doesn’t feel genuine..

Have only had lunch here. Food was ok but portions were small. Haven’t had the urge to go back

The people are nice here but the food is certainly overrated. Hopefully the breakfast is more flavorful than the lunch here. I showed up at 10:20am and was told that lunch started at 10:30am. Ten minutes isn’t bad so I waited. By the time I got my food I couldn’t wait to dig in, but I didn’t get that home cooked flavor that I expect from soul food. The food was bland and the Mac and cheese was watery as if they skipped out on the eggs and real cheese.
It was certainly Southern «Styled»
But looks are deceiving.
They are not a Soul Food establishment.
Almost 10 bucks for pretend soul food isn’t bad but why even waste ten bucks when you have to use almost an entire bottle of hot sauce to add flavor to everything.
…I should have waited and cooked for myself.
And WHY do they advertise that they have peach cobbler but it is NEVER out?!
Anytime and everytime I show up it’s never ready! If they took Red velvet cake off the menu they may as well take off the peach cobbler too.
Save your money and skip out on this place.

Turkey wings were excellent. They were crispy on the outside, well seasoned and perfectly juicy on the inside. Really delicious. The Oxtail was also outstanding. The preparation was bit spicy maybe for some but right on for me. The mac and cheese was good but not the best I’ve had and the cornbread was tasty. The greens did not wow me. Overall the items that I really wanted to be excellent, really were. I may be taking another trip back there before I leave town. I’ll probably go for the turkey wings and some desert, think. Enjoy!

Eh… just okay. A bit overpriced for my portion.

Typical soul food. Nothing on the menu was truly spectacular or unique. I’ve been to many soul food eateries and if you would have blind folded me and taken me to Q’s I can say it tasted just like any other I’ve been to. I’ll go back. I ordered a vegetable plate.

Last week, I was trying to find a place for lunch that I hadn’t been before. I checked my Scoutmob app and saw Q’s and thought it sounded good. I looked on Unilocal and saw that it got pretty good reviews, so I decided to check it out.
A friend and I met up at Q’s and the first thing I noticed was it has a pretty bad parking situation. There are a few spots out front, but they fill up pretty quickly at lunch. There’s a bank across the street with a large lot, but they have signs advising that you’ll be towed. So after driving around the block a few times, I saw a car with it’s reverse lights and I quickly pulled in. My friend found a spot just around the corner and walked over.
We get inside and everything looked pretty good. Some people called it a «hole in the wall» on Unilocal,but I disagree. Yes, it seems kind of small when you first walk in, but it opens up into a second room and everything seems clean. They have a nice spread of food and I couldn’t decide what I wanted. I ultimately decided on the turkey wings, mac ‘n cheese, dressing, and a lemonade. My boy got fish, greens, mac ‘n cheese, and a soda. It was a LOT of food! The total came to only $ 17.30 after tax, and with my Scoutmob discount it was only $ 8.30 TOTAL for both meals!!! With that great of a deal, I just hoped it was halfway decent and it would have been worth it. It was actually all very good. The wings were smokey, the mac ‘n cheese was seasoned and cheesy, and the dressing was great.
This is a place that I’ll definitely return. If they fixed the parking issue, they’d get 5 stars from me!

Decent soul food spot in East Point. My partner and I never heard of this place until they were featured on the Scoutmob app for 50% off, so we decided on a whim to try this place out on a weekday night.
Q’s is a cafeteria style restaurant, my partner and I were the only people in line when we arrived so we were able to ask about their different food selections and they recommended the fried turkey wings, which is what my partner ordered and I opted for the fried chicken breast. For our 2 sides, my partner chose the sweet white corn and turnip greens and I chose the mac and cheese and cornbread dressing. Both meals came with a cornbread muffin.
We had to wait about ten minutes for our food because they fry the chicken fresh. The restaurant has a decent sized seating area and a couple LCD televisions on the walls.
We decided to have our meal to-​go and they showed us our food before leaving the restaurant. I like when restaurants do that, it shows that they care about their customer’s satisfaction.
I enjoyed all of the food, it was very delicious and fresh. My partner was not quite impressed with it though for some reason.
I would definitely return here and would recommend this place to others who may find themselves in or around East Point, GA and with the Scoutmob app deal you can’t beat the price. Less than $ 8 for two good portion sized dinners.
