Binky's Eatery: Discover Comfort & Soul Food in Atlanta

I don’t even know where to begin.. Firstly, as soon as me and my group walked in we were immediately greeted by the owner Chef Baul and he was one of the nicest people I have ever met in the food service industry. I ordered the spagetthi and collard greens and girlllll.. it was SO good. The collard greens were the best i’ve ever had, and im a southern girl. The spagetthi was perfection my friends and I enjoyed the entire experience from start to finish. Chefs wife, Daniella was an absolute angel and just opened a restaurant next door that we WILL be attending in the morning. Everything was top notch and on top of that, the prices were extremely reasonable for the amount you get. This is true soul food and if you have friends from out of town, BRING THEM HERE to enjoy a little taste of Atlanta. Thank you Chefs for the amazing experience! **UPDATE!** I went back today a couple of months later and tried the salisbury steak and gravy/rice and it was delicious once again. THIS time i remembered to take a picture because your eyes also need to blessed like mine was when i opened the box.. Not to mention it was fresh (i watched him cook my salisbury steak) and my friend got fried fish + 2 sides! He also said it was delicious as usual. This was also so fresh! (she breaded and cooked it while we were there.) I love love Binkys and they never fail to impress me. I Will be trying his lovely wife’s restaurant right next door that is BEAUTIFUL on the inside. GO SUPPORT THESE GUYS!

Let me answer the questions that everyone comes for first: 1) Is the food good? Yes. 2) Would you return? Yes 3) Where is it located? In the alley between the Marta station and City Gear. Now, the review. I think this place is a nice little gem in the area. If you want a quick soul food meal without having to wait in long lines, this is a good spot for you. Be mindful: It’s a small spot with very little space to sit or stand. What I ordered: Oxtails - 8/10 (Good flavor. Slightly more tenderness desired) Mac n Cheese - 8/10 (Noodles just a little overcooked) Yams - 9/10 (Yummy! A little stringy) Yellow Rice - 8/10 (It’s yellow rice lol) Peach Drink - 10/10 (OMG!) $1 Fried chicken - 10/10 (Nothing ever beats an inexpensive piece of greasy fried chicken that reminds you of home) The customer service was impeccable. Greeted properly and kept updated on my order. They were quick to deliver as well. The one drawback I saw was the storage of containers in the front. I know they may be limited in storage space, but it kind of takes away from the atmosphere and connection from employees to customers in my opinion. As they enhance the quality of their products, I believe they’ll go far and stay around a while. In the end, I’m glad to have a soul food spot near my office that I can enjoy. Looking forward to a return visit to try other items.

My name's Frances and my daughter Rachel took my husband Irvin and I to Binky's for a Valentines gift meal. The lady that waited on us Saturday morning had good customer service. It's really clean but not a large seating area but I loved the experience.

Food here is fantastic. Lamb chops recommend, they have great flavor. Also a fan of the oxtails. The SIDES: yams and onion rings are delicious! Greens and mashed potatoes are solid. CHECK OUT video REVIEWS on Instagram and Tik Tok @GHSTLENS

10/10!! I got fried fish, collard greens, yams and mac n cheese. Everything was exceptional. We tried going to Betty Sue’s for brunch but they were closed for a private party. The owner saw me and my friends eating outside Binky’s and let us in to his wife’s spot, Betty Sue’s to eat at a table with A/C. I can taste the love!

I love love love it here I’m just sad I’m just now discovering them !!! And they gave me extra food The food is amazing. The drink is amazing and the staff are very welcoming and professional. I love it. I love the music gives you that atmosphere that matches the taste. I will definitely be back 10 out of 10. I wish I could give them 10 stars instead of five. I got the Salisbury steak, collard greens and canned hams and lemonade, and they throw in some extra fried fish

So I was supposed to have been posted a review. BINKY’S. Another one of Atlanta’s hidden jewels in the Five Points area, . I have not had anything else other than their daily lunch special $5. Pork chop sandwich …but what i will say is that Every-time I go .. it is consistently great. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Oh and they have a young lady at the counter named KENYA.. she is sweet, and always makes sure I'm good before i leave. Definitely has great customer service and a sternness thats needed in that area. So shout to KENYA!!

My husband and I have eaten here a few times and every time the food was impeccable!! Our daughter who is extremely picky devoured her chicken and Mac n Cheese and asked for more! The meat was tender and flavorful on each visit! We also had the red velvet cupcakes (Oreo & Original)and they were moist and delicious! Even with it being a packed house we received our food in 10mins or less. Fresh and Hot!The prices aren’t cheap but are absolutely worth the quality of food we received. You can tell the food was made with passion. We have referred all of our family and friends and they have all had the same experience! Don’t let the negative reviews deter you from going because every single person we have referred has had an amazing experience from start to finish! Recommend 10/10 and will absolutely visit again!
