    Delicious dishes & execellant service. Definitely a favorite amongst breakfast spots in Atlanta. Also, I'm not sure if the black bean soup is a limited menu item, but if its available, it's great.

    One of the friendliest places you'll visit with a great retro-interior, OK Cafe is a Buckhead institution, a well-designed diner with comfort food. great for a crowd. Legendary pimento cheese.

    For me it’s more the experience that outweighs the food- totally novel environment and great service. Open late. One of my dad’s favorite places for late night eats!

    Nostalgia & good Southern food gives a nice mix for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Blue Plate lunch choices offer good “meat & 2” choices. Got the special - trout amandine today with slaw & squash. Good.

    Fantastic and unusual art collection and custom interior (including staff uniforms). Always consistent and high quality. I take all my visitors here (I am Buckhead native). Always perfect.

    Pick any two - you cannot go wrong! The salads, sandwiches, soups, panini's and flat breads are all fresh and delicious. I recently tried the Bananas Foster Pancakes - OMG!

    No matter what you get, you won't be sorry. The food is great. But bring something warm to wear in case they seat you in the cold section.

    For an appetizer, I like pickle chips. No matter what entrée you order, get a kale salad on the side (so good!).

    Homemade food at its finest. Perfect for those who savor something southern and comforting. It is inexpensive which makes it all that more appealing.

    The food was outstanding along with the staff. Wish Virginia Beach had something like this. Don’t pass this up if you do you will regret it.

    When in the Buckhead area and want some excellent Comfort Food, try the OK Cafe. Better than OK, it's Superior!

    Get dropped off at the door to put your name on the list - there can be a wait regardless of time of day - including 8a on a Wednesday!

    Not only are the veggies incredible, but if you go on a Sunday, you can get some of Atlanta's best fried chicken. Perfectly crispy & juicy! Yum.

    Ok Cafe’s menu boasts fresh bread, organic meat, fresh eggs, and quality oils. Their portions are also a good size. Go for the mac & cheese and chicken-pot-pie. Read more

    Hearty mac n cheese here! The squash souffle is also quite similar in taste and texture if looking for a "healthier" alternative..

    Veggie burger was amazing. Very surprised at the bean and veggie and grain blend. Wine selection could be enhanced (only red is merlot).

    Even when there's a long wait there's almost always immediate seating at the counter. As a bonus you get to watch skilled short-order cooks do their thing.
