The OK Cafe opened its doors July 8, 1987 and so great was the longing for a true southern restaurant that by the end of the first week it had become an Atlanta phenomenon with crowds standing in line to get in. Today it serves more customers than any other full service restaurant in Georgia. People come to the OK Cafe for the quality of the food and the sort of menu your grandmother would make for Sunday dinner, if you had a grandma who could cook that is. Mix in an uncle who was a short order cook at the best grill in town, and you’ve got the family recipes that make the OK Cafe so popular.
Old-fashioned diner with a Southern slant, complete with milkshakes, meatloaf & a jukebox.

If you’re looking for southern food in Atlanta, this is a great place to go. It’s a very very busy restaurant. It is a little bit loud and very lively. There’s a lot of artwork that’s very cool and the service was excellent. The food was good, but I’m not a huge fan of southern food… Having grown up in the south. But overall, it was a nice lunch with my family.

Visited the ok cafe on Wednesday the 26/11/2025 – this was my first experience southern food and I was impressed! No lie. I ordered the crispy fried chicken with coleslaw and black eyed pees, the chicken was crispy absolute delight for the taste buds. My grandfather ole John got a turkey sandwich and my dad lil Jonny got the chilli con carne, they both very pleased by their choices. Uncle Dave got the burger. Overall I highly rate this establishment and it’s a southern food experience I won’t live to forget. 10/10

We stopped by OK Café before a doctor’s appointment thinking we had time for a quick bite, but the visit ended up taking almost an hour from start to finish. Even though we had to rush at the end, the food definitely made it worth it.
The Turkey Avocado Sprouts BLT and Roasted Chicken Salad Sandwich were fresh, flavorful, and really well made. We finished with a walnut cake that tasted like something straight from a home kitchen. Despite the crowd, the staff stayed calm, welcoming, and attentive.
Fantastic food and genuinely good service—just make sure you’re not in a hurry.

The first time I visited this café was 40 years ago… I returned a couple times since but it’s been at least 20 years since the last time. I ordered the country fried steak with white gravy, homemade mashed potatoes and of course, fried green tomatoes! It was a ton of food enough to bring home and feed my wife for dinner with the leftovers. It’s crazy how things have changed, I dropped $40 on lunch Including the tip. 40 years ago it would’ve fed the entire table.
Food quality was excellent! Atmosphere and service top-notch! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants authentic food, comfort, food, southern comfort, food… And a great experience. It’s probably why they’ve been here for many many decades..

What a cute place! Family brought us when we were in town and we ended up going back several times. The food is amazing. We had chicken pot pie, and chicken and then for breakfast we had the biscuits and gravy. The gravy is some of the best we’ve ever had. And the price is right too!

This restaurant is our preferred destination for Southern comfort food. Whenever we host guests visiting Atlanta for the first time, we invariably take them to OK Cafe. Although this restaurant may not be the best place for Southern cuisine, everything here is spectacularly special. Right at the moment we enter the restaurant, we’re filled with cozy retro vibes. We love it the most.
Typically, we prefer to sit at the kitchen counter to observe the chefs while they cook. Alternatively, we sit at a table with our guests, each of which features its own sitting booth, a semi-private area.
We have sampled most of the dishes on their menu over the years. Everything is delicious. If you are a big eater, consider trying one of their signature blue plates.
By the way, Southerners refer Coca-Cola as Coke. And if you want an iced tea mixed with lemonade, order an Arnold Palmer; they’ll treat you like “the King”.

What a fantastic spot!
The atmosphere at OK Cafe is simply amazing. They’ve done an incredible job with the theme, and every detail from the decor to the classic staff uniforms is perfectly executed. We were seated right away, which was a great start.
The food is the real star of the show. You can tell they pride themselves on fresh ingredients with no preservatives, and it shines through in the taste. I had the meatloaf and it was absolutely delicious—true comfort food. We also started with the fried pickles, and they were a huge hit with the whole table!
Our service was okay, but it didn’t quite match the high standards of the food and atmosphere. It wasn’t bad, just not particularly attentive.
Overall, we had a wonderful meal and a great experience. We will definitely be back for more of that amazing food and hope the service is a little more on point next time!

Such a fun place with a retro touch. Great food sourced locally and without chemicals are additives, real food, cooked healthy and made to order. Service can sometimes be slow and that is only dependent on which server you get.
Be sure to explore the restaurant as each section is a little different and the takeaway area is also fun.
They have daily specials that bring in some fun flavors and keep things fresh.
The fried pickles, meatloaf and chocolate fudge cake are some of my family’s faves. The cake is moist and crumbly just like grandma used to make!
