Baked

We stopped in at the East Cobb location for a late lunch. I had the flank streak with the brussels sprouts and roasted sweet potatoes. Hubby had the tilapia, tomato basil soup, and sautéed green beans and thought it was all very tasty! My steak was cooked perfectly! Food temperature wasn’t as hot as I preferred but that’s a minimal issue. Very reasonably priced for the portion sizes. We will definitely try them again!

Went last night with my husband. It was a Sunday night and was pretty empty. I had the pecan crusted tilapia with Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. My husband had the baked chicken and green beans. My tilapia was not good. It’s rare that I can’t finish a piece of fish, but there was something not right about the taste. Not sure if it was the fish or the coating. The sweet potatoes were good and the Brussels sprouts were a little oily but were tender and fresh. My husband enjoyed his food though thought the beans were pretty greasy. Like others have said, maybe they just need to get some more time under their belt. I also know that next time I won’t order the tilapia. ***note: this was supposed to be for the Atlanta location, not East Cobb***

Brunch at Baked… I had country fried steak, squished garlic taters and green beans. WOW!!! That steak was a thin sliced ribeye seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. The menu has great breakfast choices from omelets to biscuits & gravy to eggs & bacon. And the gravy — let me tell you — was deeeeelish! The white gravy for the steak was as tasty as I’ve had and the brown gravy for the taters was just as good. The green beans were crisp and fresh and cooked just right. We’ll be back!

Delicious and good service. Very unique dishes. Cozy environment. Definitely will go back.

Went here for lunch one day last week, and the food is decent — feels like a home-​cooked meal from Mom. The breading on the fried chicken or steak was tasty but easily fell off in one fell swoop, and the bone-​in fried chicken was on the dry side. Simple typical chicken soup (can’t really do much with this item) but the brussel sprouts tasted boiled unfortunately. I liked the baked beans — not too sweet with a tomato base — and the mac and cheese also had a homemade feel with its mild white, flour-​based cheese sauce. The environment is cute with its assortment of random tables and chairs. I think this place would be good for take out for those nights you don’t feel like making these items yourself but still want a meal that seems home-​cooked.

We picked up fried chicken, some sides and the infamous crack bar! Were very pleased with the portions and the quality of food. I thought the mac n cheese and buffalo rolls were just ok but the crack bar and chicken were deelish.
I would go there again for sure and the prices are very reasonable.

We love this place, been a customer since it opened.

Very disappointed.
After reading all these amazing reviews I thought I’d give it a try as I was around the area, I made the order online and called to make sure they had received it.
After about 15 minutes I went to pick it up and it was ready, as I finally got back to work and unboxed everything I was ready to eat my fried pork. At first it was really hard to cut through, but I didn’t really mind, it tasted a bit weird and chewy but whatever, then after a few struggles to keep cutting it I decided to take a closer look and wow, it was basically raw. You could see the pink, my stomach just sank. I just threw it away asap…
And the cobbler tasted pretty awful too.

I ordered the vegetarian crab cakes, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes. My dinner was decent until I tried to eat those burnt Brussel sprouts. Two servers said this is how it’s served. I guess burnt food is acceptable in east cobb but I’m not falling for that.

Good, hearty fare that didn’t quite knock our socks off. If you think sit-​down meal at a mid-​range property for a conference or off-​site, you’ll be in the ballpark.
Odd sked conflicts finally gave me a reason to stop and seek Baked’s take-​out solution for busy East Cobbers. Two orders of the lemon and garlic bake chicken, with side of mac chez and garlic potatoes ($ 10 each) seemed like they would fill the void, and they did. Bonus was the option to have it packed family style, which is something I didn’t consider, but which made serving it and clean up much simpler.
The chicken was firm and moist, with plenty of herby flavor, while the garlic potatoes were plain evil in their garlicky goodness, although they had turned a little gray from holding. Mac chez was ooey and gooey and rib-​sticking, although maybe not as browned as some would like. In all, a fine haul at a decent price. But also nothing that triggered mad cravings for more.
It is good to know that there is such a safety net close by, and I think that is the niche that serves Baked — and many busy families — the best.

The fried boneless pork chops were crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. The only issue I had was that they were a little too salty for my taste. The brussel sprouts were yummy. The Mac and cheese is lackluster. It tastes like the flour wasn’t cooked enough (which they probably used to thicken the sauce.)
I think I would have enjoyed my meal more had I ordered the green beans instead of the Mac and cheese. (The green beans looked fantastic based on other people’s plates.)

Wow. This place rocks. Haven’t found a dish I didn’t like yet. I am now definitely a regular.

Delicious! I stopped in for lunch after reading the other reviews. I had the baked lemon chicken, sautéed green beans, and Mac n cheese.
It was clearly homemade and everything tastes really good!
This will be a great place to stop in for dinner to go!
I’ll be back soon and tell others!

Believe me I never do this! 5 stars on one visit?! Well maybe 1.5! We sampled at Taste of East Cobb.
This place is delicious!!!
Location is a bit weird. But flavor brings customers!
Staff is amazing! It’s all about you!
I had the all American burger. Didn’t even think to taint it with any condiments! Every bite was a flavor explosion! Garlic Mash with gravy… Crazy good!
Wife had lemon baked chicken with green beans and sweet potato mash. She loved every bite!
Kid had the cheeseburger and he ate it up with fries!
It was tough cause we all wanted to share a bite but couldn’t pull ourselves from our own plate. And it was plenty!
Home cooking in a restaurant!
Hidden gem!

This is my favorite restaurant ever! Everything is so good! I especially love the tilapia! The owner is also the one of the nicest people you will ever meet. You should definitely try BAKED!

After trying Baked two times and being bummed by the pork tacos and the fried chicken, I didn’t think I’d be trying it a third time until Scott, the owner, invited me back. Thanks Scott! If it weren’t for you, I’d be missing out on some finger-​licking good brisket …
ENTREES
Roasted Beef Brisket
I was floored by how good the beef brisket tasted. It literally melts in your mouth. It’s a HUGE piece of brisket slow cooked for 11 hours with a family-​recipe rub. I believe this dish is the star of their menu.
Shrimp and Grits
Another hit. The grits weren’t soaked in broth. There was a good amount of creaminess with simple toppings of shrimp and sausage. I enjoyed the simpleness of the dish.
Featured Baked Salmon
The salmon had a mustard based topping. Although I didn’t like the topping, the salmon itself was cooked perfectly.
SIDES
Mac and cheese: good but not the cheesy, buttery indulgent mac I’m used to. Baked’s mac and cheese is like the guilt-​inducing mac’s healthy sister
zucchini: yumm, I love me some nicely seasoned veggies.
DESSERT
cobbler: good, home-​made peach cobbler. It’ll remind you of the days you spend spoiled by your grandma’s treats when you were younger.
chocolate pie: YUM, my favorite of the two desserts. The chocolate filling was a thicker, fudge-​like consistency.
Baked was the most packed on my third visit. It’s a family-​friendly restaurant with quirky décor of mix-​and-​match dining tables. There’s also kid’s play area. Dining in felt like you’re just eating in your backyard; it was a comfortable and relaxed experience.

I ordered take out from Baked for lunch for the first time a couple of days ago. I have wanted to try Baked for a long time after having seen the reviews here on Unilocal.
I was very impressed with the quality of the food and think this is a really great fast-​casual restaurant with good quality home-​cooked style food.
On a Saturday afternoon for lunch it was not crowded at all with no wait to order at the counter in the store. The staff at the counter were very friendly.
The interior is pretty nice if you want to eat in the store. There are ample seats and tables of different sizes to accommodate different sized parties. It was a larger seating area than I was expecting, and a little nicer area to sit in.
I had their fried chicken with the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts as sides. The fried chicken was moist and tender and there was plenty of meat on the breast and not a whole lot of breading on the outside. This was just perfectly cooked for me. The sides, though, for me were the standout. I am not normally a fan of Brussels sprouts, but they cooked them so well with light charring on the outside that I just couldn’t get enough of them. The same goes for the sweet potatoes. The cooking style was fairly simple, without any complicated sauces or anything, but they were still able to make everything taste really good.
I also ordered as an appetizer the Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls. You get two fairly large egg rolls that have a slight buffalo sauce taste in them — not too overwhelming. They are deep fried and were pretty tasty, but really the main course turned out to be large enough and tasty enough that I didn’t really need to order an appetizer.
I definitely want this on my list of places I’ll go to again. When I don’t want to cook at home, but still want excellent quality home-​style cooking, this is the place I would go.

Delicious! I was expecting it to be a little dumpy southern home-​food type place, but I was so surprised! It’s sort of like formal food in an informal atmosphere.
I had the salmon, sautéed broccoli and fried okra. The fish was prepared in an Asian sauce and cooked to absolute perfection! Although the fried okra was nothing to write home about, every other side I tried from my friends’ plates were as good as any I’ve ever had!
Plus, I could not believe how low the prices were for the amount and quality of food delivered! I definitely plan to try their lunch specials soon.

«Trust me… Get Baked. Everybody is happier and more relaxed.» These words of wisdom adorn the walls at Baked, a large, utilitarian space filled with an assortment of mismatched tables and chairs, good for both large groups or intimate parties of two. This restaurant/​catering business has a welcoming warehouse community vibe, and includes a dedicated play area for kids.
Order at the counter from the large printed menu overhead, then sit back and relax while the staff prepares your food. Basically a «meat and two» place, you can also have soup and salad/​sandwich combos or order from their list of daily specials. Gluten free and vegetarian options are clearly marked.
On a cloudy, chilly day during the holidays, Baked provided a central meeting place to gather friends from all over metro Atlanta. Our party of six ordered liberally from the menu, sampling quite a variety of their delicious offerings. I loved the tomato basil soup, one of the day’s specials, which was nicely seasoned and filled with fresh tomato flavor. Their house salad is also good, topped with Baked’s made-​in-​house roasted garlic vinaigrette.
Other highlights included a special of beef short ribs, fried chicken, okra, and fries, along with a sampling of all their desserts. The hands down dessert favorite was the salted caramel cheesecake, also a daily special. (I see a theme here. Definitely check out the daily special board.)
One interesting menu item was an order of egg rolls, which look and taste (according to my husband and friends, as these are not GF) like upscale Totino’s pizza rolls. If you like those, order and enjoy. If you prefer a more traditional egg roll, don’t.
It’s unlikely I’ll find myself in this area of our fair city in the near future, but if I do, I’ll definitely make a return trip to try their baked lemon and garlic chicken with sides of garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.

Well, huh. Based on the rave reviews, I was excited to try it. I was super disappointed.
I got the fried chicken with Mac & cheese and garlic mashed potatoes sides. My daughter got Mac & cheese and fries. We had apple-​berry cobbler for dessert.
1) the chicken is breast only, which bummed me out cause I prefer dark meat. The breading was a tad over fried and not super flavorful.
2) the Mac & cheese was my favorite part of the meal, and my daughter loved it.
3) the garlic mashed potatoes were yuck. Not garlicy at all and flavorless. Gravy tastes bland and like the kind made from a mix.
4) fries were good
5) cobbler was super BLAH. Not good topping and again just super mediocre. My daughter didn’t even finish her half.
I’m giving it 3 stars, not 2 like I want, because they have GREAT customer service and I really liked the interior. My daughter had a blast in their kids area and they have tons of coloring stuff for kids. The employees kept checking on me and were so nice. Customer service is very important to me, so for that alone, I will be back to try something else. Maybe I’ll like it better.
