Sweet Georgia's Juke Joint

What an amazing and fun experience! There's a $10 fee per person for entertainment, I'm glad the performers are getting paid well. Highly recommended to make a reservation. The service is a slower pace but good overall with the staff attentive to our table once seated. The jambalaya pasta is very good with a good mix of meats and the sauce is really great! I only wished the portion was a little bigger. This is a great place for some local flavors.

I just happened to stop in here during my weekend in Atlanta. It was absolute fire! I ate at the bar and the service was amazing. Great drinks and the best homestyle cooking I've ever had. Also the bread pudding was amazing. Also the cherry on top was the top notch entertainment. I will stop in here every time I'm in Atlanta from now on!

About a 1-1.5: We checked out Sweet Georgia's Juke Joint as a group for an early dinner; note that nowhere on the site is it mentioned that each member of your party will get charged $5 for the 'live music', automatically, added to your check.Also, you have a limit of 2 hours at your table.Getting seated was prompt, and we had a pretty good view of the stage and the performers without much obstruction.The menu is very limited, but they do 'run out' of items (aka, not prepared on time); we went the first day that they had opened for the week, and they were already out of several entrees...I tried:+the Fried Green Tomatoes - the batter was overfried, and the tomatoes were just not ripened nor were they cooked long enough+Juke Cheeseburger - I actually wanted to try their Braised Short Rib, but they were out; the burger itself was okay, as it came with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, served with a side of fries; the fries were not made-to-order, as they were cold and soggyOur server was inattentive and rarely checked in on us. She also was not detail-oriented and didn't really listen; she carelessly dropped off dessert that no one ordered, and then tried to blame it on us... really?The only decent part of this experience was the live music. In between sets, they played old-school music videos.The place is a bit dark, and definitely could use a deep clean.Definitely not worth a visit.+inattentive service+inaccurate orders+$5 automatic 'cover charge' per person for live music

The best gumbo I've ever had!!! The rice portion wasn't as big as I had seen in the other photos, but that's fine. The amazing taste and flavor of the gumbo was enough to make this experience amazing. There is a $10 charge per person when there is live music and I believe that money goes towards the performers which is awesome. I do wish they had mentioned that on their website though. The hush puppies were great, but the tangy aioli didn't pair well with the sweetness of the hush puppies (although my fiancé disagrees and loved it with them). Service was great and the live music made this a great experience. The place is very clean and has a fun vibe.

Made our way while in Atlanta to this great little place that has it all! Music some amazing R&B soulful music and great food!We started by sitting in the bar area so we can hear each other talk, then added an appetizer the Southern starter. Followed by The Juke Joints Fried chicken and an order of Jambalaya. Mmmmm Service was bar service so it was the bar tender helping the full bar and our high top. We added hush puppies, creamed corn and Mac cheese. Was so good the fried chicken was drizzled with honey, and the jambalaya had a slight kick to it. Music was excellent and if I could have finished it all I might have exploded!

We had an amazing time! We enjoyed our food, the music was great and the live band was awesome! We laughed and talked and really enjoyed ourselves. However, we waited 20 min to be seated and we had a reservation. We'll return I'm sure.

This was our second time coming to Sweet Georgia's Jukebox joint. The food is southern American with creole influences. It's called a "juke joint" because they have live band performances on Friday and Saturday nights (not sure what they have during the week). They open at 5pm and sometimes ask for a $5 entertainment fee (which they add to your bill) because of the band. It's pretty cool as people will get up and dance in the small area near the stage. The music is typically 80s -"and 90s R&B. It's definitely a good place for a date or to bring people who aren't from Atlanta looking to experience some of the culture .

Very nice establishment! I loved the live entertainment. My drink was perfect. The service was good. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy my oxtail entree. There was way too much garlic for my taste. I would go again just for the drinks and entertainment. To be fair, others in my group loved the oxtail dish.

On a small vacation to Atlanta and I came to this place because it was close to my hotel. So glad I made reservations, because they had a wait. My reservations were for 830 and I was seated by 8:35 On a Saturday night. My waiter name was William, and he did an amazing job. He made recommendations, He didn't bother us too much, but tentative when he was in our presence. I ordered the bacon wrap, shrimps, with the homemade macaroni and cheese. And my boyfriend ordered the famous fried chicken, with the collard green. Everything was hot, Seasoned and superb. This place, checked all the boxes, from amazing food, great service, great atmosphere, and the band. The band played everything that moves you. Definitely glad I stopped by

My daughter chose this place for her birthday dinner because she wanted to experience live entertainment. The ATL Connection performed with Londee The Artist, and put on a great show. Londee made my daughter's bday extra special by singing happy birthday to her!The food was pretty good. I had the catfish fingers and Caesar salad. The catfish was cooked and seasoned well. Our server Samuel did a great job of taking care of us. He was attentive and friendly. The only downside was that we made a reservation, but still had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. Other than that, we had a great time.
