I had the salmon, greens, mac & cheese, and yams — and everything was amazing! The flavors were on point, and you can really taste the love in the cooking. I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

First off, the food is good. Real good. Slap yo auntie that you don’t like cause she be talking bout yo momma good! The owner is down to earth. The professionalism is 5stars alone. It’s not a place that builds you up to let you down, quality people and food! In 2025 that’s a Win!

It’s so rare that you find food in Atlanta that is consistently good everytime you buy it so that it feels worth the money. But when I tell you this food hits EVERYTIME!!!! Anytime anybody asks where they should go I’m only going to tell them places I got to consistently with great food and this is it! They are located inside of a ghost kitchen so you don’t go in and sit down but place your order before you go and you can be in and out. Try them out you will not be disappointed!

I’m obsessed with the Big Back Cornbread Bowl from Atlanta Turkey Legs! It’s the perfect southern comfort food combo that’s so delicious and fulfilling. You have the option to select the protein and sauces of your choice. My go-to is the shrimp and I always stick with the BBQ sauce. This dish serves up my favorites all together, Macaroni and cheese, yams, and collard greens over cornbread!!!

This was the best turkey leg I’ve ever tasted and I mean that without exaggeration. The turkey was so tender and the flavor was exceptional. I ordered a lemon pepper turkey leg. I definitely have to come back and order additional items next time! I was highly impressed. Keep up the great work and keep making amazing food! :)

My 2nd time visiting a ghost kitchen business. First thing first, always order ahead for your own convenience (thank me later). Was excited to see that my wait for the food ran about 12 min over from the original promised time. Not bad at all! The last business I patronized wait time was unacceptable and I will not be going back there (same location). After we arrived home from a 26 minute drive the food was still hot. Impressed for sure. Everything was good! Wow yall. My favorite sides were the Mac & cheese and yams. When I tell you this may be the best mac & cheese I’ve had from a business in a LONG time. But again the turkey (bbq and garlic Parmesan) collard greens, cornbread, salmon pasta ALL were phenomenal. 3 meals purchased and we all could eat on the meals twice. My suggestion is that if you get the big back like me please share! Well you may not want to share all of the food on top but you will not eat all of the cornbread by yourself. Lol Anyway this was great and we really enjoyed our meal. 10 out of 10. I forgot to mention the food health score is 100 for those that care (I checked before I left the building). We will be back to support in the future and try more menu items. Thank you for cooking with love.

I absolutely LOVED my food! Greens 1000/10, Mac 1000/10, turkey leg with the Parmesan sauce 1000/10! Everything was hot and fresh! Didn’t take long to receive my food and the flavor was immaculate. Definitely worth the price! HIGHLY recommend!
