Folk Art

My friends and I came here on a Saturday around 9:45 am to find them already almost full. We opted to sit at the bar since there was a wait for actual tables plus I enjoy watching the cooks in action anyways. We got their mimosas and champagne punch which we delicious. For food we tried their french toast with a side of sausage, turkey melt with a side of hash browns, and braised short rib eggs Benedict. The french toast was thick and served with real maple syrup. My turkey melt was made with a well toasted hearty wheat bread, filled with caramelized onions, cheese and turkey. Hash browns were crisp and salty. Then the short rib was beyond tender and so flavorful.We were all so happy with our choices and I already can't wait to come back to this comfortable, diner experience. Highly recommend others to try this gem out! biggest let down is that there is no private parking so you'll have to fend for yourself on that front.

Service was good. Food menu was extensive. Cooked well but lacked seasoning on almost all dishes. We tried the green tomatoes - no seasoning, but deep fried well.Grits- we had to add salt and pepper for flavor French toast - delicious Apple sausage- delicious Catfish- no seasoning- had to return it after 1 bit

I am visiting from out of town and am very disappointed with this place. It was recommended by a friend so we went for brunch. There were six of us and they sat us at a table that could fit use instantly water was dropping from the vent. I told the person that sat us and asked if we could move she said there was no where else to move us and the table behind us had the same issue. She said we could sit outside but would have to wait as had already waited about 20 minutes. The water kept dropping and I asked the server if there was a manager. He said the woman that sat us was the manager. They also ended up seating another large party at the table behind us and they were complaining of the same issue. The main problem I have is the manager knew there was a problem with water dripping but she said nothing to us about it prior to seating us she could have said there is an issue with water dripping do you still want to sit here. That would have been the appropriate response. She also told us they knew there was an issue and the repair man was coming this week. This is not acceptable and as a manager it's unbelievable that they seat patrons at these tables and say nothing about the issue. So I cannot recommend this service and the manager for her handling of it. Would not return.

I came here for my friend's 25th birthday brunch. It was decent. We had to wait for about 15 minutes due to the fact that they don't take any reservations. This was fine because we were able to take photos with the nice murals around the place. Once we got seated, they sat us in the back near the kitchen and restrooms. It was okay at first, but started to annoyed me because they kept slamming down these plates above my head. Yet they apologized and it was kosher onwards, especially because the food came! They have a large selection of food that it kind of overwhelmed me. However, I played it safe and got mac n cheese, grilled cheese, fruits and tomato soup. I wasn't sure about the price as I didn't pay, but the food quality was delicious. Would definitely go back.

Folk art has been a staple in my brunch rotation for years. Their consistent customer service and quality of food is unmatched! We went for a post church brunch and it did not disappoint. Even at their busiest, the wait was no more than 20 minutes. There is a variety of seating options with outdoor, indoor and bar seating. The ambiance of the Decatur location fits perfectly with the area: family friendly yet young and lively with a hint of rustic charm. We got the Foul Play and Shrimp Po Boy and it did not disappoint. There's also free parking on Sundays which is a major plus.

We dropped in to have a great breakfast meeting up with several friends. Overall, great service and decent menu with lots to choose from. We tried the crab cakes, the eggs benedict were fantastic, the omelet, and grits were delicious. We'll be back!

MUST VISIT BRUNCH SPOT - Folk Art has always been one of my go-to brunch spots in Atlanta - I was excited to see them open a second location in Decatur (slightly closer to me than their first location). When we arrived, we had the pup in tow, but there was some limited outdoor seating. It was a bit chilly outside but we had prepared for the elements and they did have some heaters. I'm an iced coffee girl but it was way too cold while sitting outside - so two hot coffees were necessary. We started with sweet potato beignets because those were my favorites from the original location. They weren't as pretty as the ones I remembered but still tasted delicious. We went with the Short Rib & Grits and the Folk Southern Fried and found both dishes to be delicious, albeit a bit on the heavy side of the brunch spectrum. The outdoor seating is a bit sparse so definitely don't recommend it unless you're ok with braving the elements! We also had some extremely slow service due partially to the power outage that occurred during the meal, as well as the server having to run out from the busy restaurant inside. But I suppose that's weekend brunch for ya!

Liked/ Liked / Liked / Liked / Liked / Liked / Liked / Liked / The food was ok. I liked that they were able to add things to my eggs Benedict, like fried green tomato, caramelized onion... it was nice but I gave 3 because it all lacked some flavor. I would try again maybe something else... perhaps a sandwich or something. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The prices were GREAT! Disliked - Disliked - Disliked -Disliked -Disliked -Disliked -Disliked -The kitchen was soooooooo loud. [it's an open kitchen btw]It was a slow day so I guess they felt like it didn't matter but it was like they were speaking loudly to each other, and watching soccer so loud... the sound "goooooooooooooooaaaaaaallll" was severely competing with the low music. It started with them playing some game on their on their phone loudly at first and graduated into a full soccer game viewing party, yelling at the match and all. It felt obnoxious and annoying to be honest. I'm not tripping about them being on their phone during a slow day ... I mean they were working so who cares but at least turn it down a bit... don't make me feel like I'm in your living room. Maybe it was their sign that they were closing in an hour?

Very pricey aesthetic brunch spot in Decatur. There are parking garages near by but you have to pay. Ate here for the first time and was shocked with how scant the servings were. For example, I got a Crab Cake Benedict for $21-22 after taxes and it did not come with any sides not even like toast, hash browns, fruit, salad, or potatoes. There is a bar counter service where you can sit and eat too. Otherwise, the short Mexican server guy was great and deserves a raise!

I really enjoyed my time here! A group of four of us came here for brunch on a Saturday. There are two locations and this was the one in Decatur. We chose it because it has a little bit more space and we are very happy with our decision. Please don't come here. If you have any issues waiting, even though the weight wasn't long, it is good to note that they do not take reservations, so just be prepared to wait for 20 minutes or so for a table to clear up, we ordered a bunch of things but I got the breakfast burger which is a double patty with cheese and hashbrowns and eggs. There is no bacon even though it is advertised on the menu with bacon you do have to add that. It was a pretty solid burger in my opinion, and I'm excited to come back here and try something else on the menu! The staff was lovely, and the restaurant was nice and decorated for the holidays!
