Pat's Kitchen

OK OK so for $20 this is what I got. Honestly, just a total rip off. Old frozen meat, macaroni without the cheese. And bland greens. I mean this place should be ashamed of themselves for selling a plate of ribs for $20 and you get four little pieces I mean like that is crazy.

Ribs are cooked fresh in the smoker everything tastes so fresh and delicious. Definitely check it out, hidden gem.

The food was below par. The turkey wing was dried out, the cabbage didnt have any taste to it and mac cheese was watery. This is my 2nd time trying them and I am done.

I have been entertaining a mad craving for a battered, fried pork chop for the last 3 months - so much so that I created a Nextdoor post about it. One of my neighbors responded and raved about this place so I decided to give it a try. Interior / ExteriorThey're located in an older strip mall on Powder Springs Rd - private parking lot - right across the street from Dollar Tree as you head towards the square. If you hit Kastaways, you come too far. The interior of the restaurant is sparse, but clean. Customer ServiceThe hit it out of the park on this one! Upon entering the establishment, I was enthusiastically greeted by a cute, tiny little lady - Miss Taneka (Miss Pat's daughter). She took my order and told me a little about their history. Miss Pat always loved cooking for family and friends ... and dreamed of having her own restaurant - and after she retired - they decided to make her dream come true! They've been at their location for 3 years (as of Feb 2022). After my second visit, I felt like we were old friends. Lol. We bonded over our love of Southern food and small fluffy dugs (I'm a 'Pom Mom' and she's a Yorky Lady) and fear of bats (don't ask - see my other reviews). I didn't get to meet Miss Pat (one of the Chefs / cooks AND the restaurant's namesake) until today and let me just say, "The apple did not fall very far from the tree!" Miss Pat was super sweet as well. We had a bit of mishap with the ribs from our previous visit. I wasn't able to reach them before closing Sat, so I messaged them. They close early on Sunday and are closed all day Monday, but they told me to come back in - satisfaction guaranteed! I went back today - Miss Pat and Miss Taneka could not have been more sweet, accommodating and gracious. Kay (Miss Pat's son, also one of the cooks and the Grillmaster) was a little brusque, but most chefs are like that. Lol. Price / AffordabilityI think the prices are very affordable - especially during the pandemic. If I'd realized that my pork chop meal came with one pork chop, I would have asked whether I could add another on, but I'm greedy when it comes to meat. Lol. Most dinners are $12 - $15, ribs cost more. They also have some $6.99 lunch specials. Food They have chicken, pork chops, BBQ, turkey wings, chitterlings (aka chitlins), oxtails and seafood (catfish, tilapia, whiting, shrimp). They also have a dizzying array of vegetables to choose from. In deference to many people's dietary restrictions , they don't heavily season the vegetables or use pork for flavoring. I love sautéd or 'fried' cabbage (I could eat it every day) and green beans, but they gotta have a little dash of bacon fat or chicken bouillon to jazz 'em up. On my initial visit, I ordered a pork chop meal (1 fried pork chop, french fries, mac & cheese, omitted the bread). I also ordered a slab of ribs. My macaroni & cheese was good, but it was a bit odd in that it was a single layer of mac & cheese. My french fries were dropped before grease was hot enough, so they were oily and limp - but that was fine - I didn't eat them so it saved me additional fat and calories. When I went back, I got pork chops, green beans, rice, gravy and corn muffins. The pork chops were outstanding both times. Seasoned perfectly, crispy coating outside, tender inside! I don't eat rice, gravy or cornbread (unless it's the deep South pancake style), so I'll let you know what J thinks later tonight. OverallI like this spot. There's a lot of variety on the menu and the customer service alone will keep me coming back!

Stop here today as I was visiting Marietta and I must say the food was great, cooked to order, hot and fresh. Their customer service and atmosphere was also top tier which made my first experience worth the shop . I definitely plan on returning!

The people who work here are very nice and the place looks clean. The food is very well prepared and good as well.

I would definitely recommend Pat's kitchen... Sunday turkey wing and dressing is GOOD!!

So I know its hard finding good soul food and you can't trust everyones cooking but this place was ok. I got pig feet with collard greens and potato salad. Now the pig feet had no flavor so you if you didn't have any hot sauce you couldn't eat it. The collard greens were sour so I didn't eat those and the potato salad was decent. The price point was good not expensive and the customer service was great. I would go back to give the food another try.

The food and the restaurant is fabulous!!!!! Everything was hot and fresh. Seasoned right and more. Then my plate was a pretty big plate for what I paid for. Thank you Pats Kitchen!!! I will be back for more.

I ordered smothered chicken and it was delivered to me raw. Very disappointing for it being my first time ordering from here.
