We were looking for some lunch and stopped here today. We had good/fast service and the restaurant was very clean/a good atmosphere. We had turkey/dressing, meatloaf, and the fried chicken for our main dishes. Our entries all included two sides as well. The kale salad, collards, and mashed potatoes were my sides - yummy! My kids loved their meals as well. They had corn, green beans, and mac/cheese for their sides. And we all got yummy cornbread muffins too. Lots of food- so come hungry. I ended up buying a pecan pie from their take out/to go room to bring home. We have not eaten it yet but we heard that the desserts are really delicious. Would love to go back again if I am in the area!

Love this restaurant. Fresh, delicious southern comfort food. Collard greens & real corn muffins today were the best I have ever tasted! Squash casserole was just perfect and flavorful. Green beans were amazingly delicious. Southern Fried chicken was full of flavor & tender with crisp batter. The servers are quick & friendly. Price range is on target. Worth the wait.

Nostalgia & good Southern food makes a nice mix for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Servers wear throwback diner uniforms & there’s some kitschy decor to enjoy as well. Go early for lunch or dinner as it gets crowded. Blue Plate lunch choices offer good “meat & 2” choices. I’ve had the turkey & also the pot pie before. Got the special - trout amandine today with slaw, squash & a delicious-but-crumbly corn muffin. Good. The sweet potato fries as an appetizer were very good too. Check out the “OK Takeaway” section for to-go ordering.

We went here for lunch after our half day at Kennesaw Mountain. It was OK. maybe that's why they call it the OK Cafe. Food was delicious, service was acceptable prices a little steep for the food served although the portions were large. I got the chicken pot pie and left fully satisfied. Restrooms were clean but aged.

OK Cafe is still outstanding. Eat in with table service not a problem. Order to go customers are asked to order online. The only way around that is to sit at the counter and place your order. The waitress will bring you a large paper bag and large plastic to go trays. You've got to move the food from the plates to the trays. Time from placing your order to walking out is less than ten minutes. Moving the food is a pain but only takes a few minutes. Awesome meal at home. Quality food. Large portions. Pay at the counter when you leave. Tip your waitress when you pay. I highly recommend you visit OK Cafe when you want to eat a great Atlanta home cooked meal. The meal comes with everything you need. Thank you

Second time eating here. Short wait , signed in upon arrival.waitress seemed rush which was fine I’m sure they are short staff like everywhere else. Food came out & the presentation was awful. And a little bland. I ordered salmon croquettes and my husband ordered the crispy chicken , both dishes were $15+ and looked like they should not have been more than $10. The food on the Togo side looked visually more appealing. I probably won’t be returning anytime soon.

Good food. Not a long wait which was a very pleasant surprise. I had pot roast , tender and tasty, excellent collards and a melt in your mouth baked sweet potato. Husband had turkey and dressing which he pronounced delicious plus yummy fries and green beans. Wait staf worked EXTREMELY hard to get people seated and served.

We were in the north part of Atlanta at lunch time. Someone recommended the Ok Cafe. It was great and a great experience. The place larger than it looks from the outside and was full of people when we stopped in. We took a seat at the counter and that turned out to be a fun spot. We could watch much of the food being prepared and our order came in a few minutes. I had the country fried steak with mac&cheese, slaw and a large cornbread muffin. It was all great. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are hungry!

The locals swear by it and we were in the area for a graduation and there weren’t many other options close by except for fast food so why not I thought. An order of greasy, soggy fried chicken with grey overcooked vegetables gave me the answer why not. The service was good but the food was barely edible at best.
This is a must dining spot for anyone in the ATL area. The breakfast food has portions larger than the plates and the staff is the most hospitable in the city. The home fries go with anything and the fresh fruit was a hit! The eggs and bacon and biscuits were a big hit, Came back for lunch the next day and again portions were huge and pie for dessert. What a great place to visit for any meal! Best sweet tea in town!

I have eaten here many times. The ambience is great - dinner with a money tree in the back room. They also offer a take away shop. This restaurant has been here for years. You never know who you will run in to. They scored 100% on a recent inspection. I went for lunch - they were not busy. Nice to see the Management involved here in the daily operations. I was greeted upon arrival - was seated in the back room - they are practicing safe practices here. The server was Naomi - she anticipated my needs - very in tune with the customer. They always have daily specials - entree, vegetable and dessert. They have recently raised their prices. You must have the service to back up a price increase - and they do. I ordered a sweet tea with the four vegetables. It also comes with a corn muffin. I had the corn, mac and cheese, squash casserole and the dressing with no gravy. It is just enough food for lunch. Used their take out shop during the time the dining room was closed during Covid - 19. All in all a great meal - will be back. They usually stay very busy here. Continued Success !!!

The Blue Plate Specials are what this restaurant is famous for! I love their large hamburgers with a fried onion ring loaf! Just the best! Great for families and couples! All orders are made fresh and worth the wait. A bit pricey, but this place is spectacular!!

I'm a s***** for seafood so I ordered the daily special crab cakes. Kind of disappointed with the chopped green pepper which was like eating raw pepper in the crab cake .. I wish they would have sautéed it first ... also the crisp coating detracted from the whole thing , they would have been great without any coating. Collards and mac n cheese always good
