Murrell's Cafe

Good food, but the prices have jumped dramatically for the buffet (from ~$12 to $25 per person). Used to be a no brainer but the price makes you think twice about whether to visit there now or not.

Absolutely AMAZING! Most authentic home cooked comfort food meal I have had in years!!!! I called to ask about Buffet prices since their menu is not posted online and actually received a call back from the owner himself! He was so sweet and courteous he game me directions right to the front door & explained all about his restaurant! The fried chicken is so crispy and the fish is good and fresh! The collard greens are literally off the chain!!! Their sweet tea is absolutely the best I've ever had and the service is friendly and attentive! Very quiet dining experience thankfully!

I went here first and foremost for the historical value and secondly for the food. So, my expectations were tempered in that order. Staff is light but I think they may get busy on the weekend for brunch, because they have a huge main seating area and a cozy sized secondary are too. I tried a little of everything the day I came. The fried chicken is good along with the fried fish (whiting). I tried mashed potatoes & gravy (delicious gravy), mac n' cheese were cheesy, collard greens had a very nice taste and were seasoned well, yams (were cooked perfectly), rice was hard (either undercooked or dried out from heat lamp), the pork backbones are divine (even before hot sauce was added)

What a pleasure it was to stumble across this hidden gem. Yolanda made this a great experience. Southern Hospitality at its finest. I ordered a waffle and omelette before seeing the cooked food. The baked chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Collard greens that I once hated were awesome! The candied yams were point blank delicious. ..... There is more to offer, so visit for yourself! Oh! btw the set up inside will completely shock you.

Amazing food. Stumbled across this place on accident...friendly welcoming staff & tasteful southern cuisine. Will def make this a staple stop in my visits to ATL. No complaints. Also, Yolanda was so warm & welcoming towards us from the minute we walked in. Love love loved it here.
