Wells Cargo Cafe

This place feels very uncomfortable if you're Black so I don't recommend going unless you enjoy feeling like you're about to eat before or after a klan meeting. The staff was nice but I never got around to eating the food. Spiritually I couldn't fade it. I noticed a Black woman walk in with her son and walk right out which is what I should've done. It used to be a funeral parlor in the 1800's, a furniture store in the 70/80s, and then a restaurant. The confederate flag says enough. So, it may be a good restaurant/vibe if you're on the far right. I can't rate the food because I never had it but the 1 star is for the energy of the establishment. It was awful.

THE RUDEST PEOPLE! We have dined here twice, and that's too many times. They don't smile, greet you, or look you in the eyes when they approach your table. They throw one menu on the table for the whole group, and seem to disregard people of color in a way that cannot be ignored. I mean, they have a Confederate Flag as part of their decor, along with cotton plants, so perhaps this should come as no surprise. Food is mediocre. They don't even have a proper sign out front that names their restaurant -- as if they intend to be exclusive and "unwelcoming" before you've even stepped foot inside. Not worth it.

Not a good experience. Being a person of color I was shocked when I looked up from my table and saw a confederate flag decorating the wall. This coupled with the terrible service was enough for me to never go back here.

We were excited to try a local business and Wells Cargo looked so promising upon entering. It is a redone antique store so the decorating and ambiance was beautiful. We sat near the fireplace and it felt very quaint, original, and romantic. The owner was serving and I think her sister was at the bar. They were both lovely and so sweet to chat with. Unfortunately the food was not the best. We tried the salmon and the chicken parmesean. The noodles were undercooked, the sides tasted sort of old like they had been in the fridge for a few days and were nuked. We left feeling like the place has a ton of potential but the food needs improvement. Very cool place though!

Wells Cargo Cafe is nothing short of excellent. The food is fresh and delicious. My friends both tried dishes off their daily special's board. I'm pretty sure they pick up what looks good at the market that day and turn those into specials. SO GOOD. I went for the burger and I am not overselling this when I say it is the best burger I have had in Atlanta - and I am regularly on the hunt for the new best burger. I've been thinking about this burger for WEEKS now. I'd give the burger 10 stars if I could. Sadly, they are closed Sundays which is my splurge day otherwise I would literally eat here every weekend. The setting if cute too. Candle light at every table and a decent beer selection makes for a fun date. If you go on a Friday, round your evening off with some Karaoke at Cafe Jaya down the street.

I have to say, I've wanted to try Wells Cargo Cafe several times and always end up going to Sweet Potato Cafe around the corner... and now I wish we would have stuck with Sweet Potato Cafe. Wells Cargo food was very good, that's why I'm giving a 1 star. The service was horrible, like someone else said "you're treated like a nuisance", but she was friendly to the "regulars" but how did she know we wouldn't be regulars if we liked it and if she was nice we would go back, as we're always looking for cute, quaint local restaurants. But she was rude from the moment we walked in, and no prices on the menu so either you have to guess or assume, or get the eye glare for asking. The beer was warm. My food, the crab cakes, was good, my husbands the chicken parm was mediocre. The worst part of the experience was that we had a scout mob, something she put her restaurant on, and when we went to Pay she said she doesn't take scoutmob anymore because it wasn't beneficial to her....no one returned.... REALLY? That's how we find most of our favorite restaurants- maybe people aren't going back because they don't like being treated like dirt. So her not taking the stupid $10 scoutmob is costing her way more since I will tell all of my friends, that are local, about our horrible experience.And the place was filthy... the antiques around are full of dust! Such a cute place and I had such high hopes.... so sad.

When we came in, we stood in the doorway for a couple of minutes because we didn't know what to do. An older woman waved impatiently at us to come in. I guess we were supposed to know that you seat yourself. The same woman came back and threw menus in the table. We waited 10 minutes, and then I got up and asked the server when we could expect to get water. She made the excuse that she was serving all the tables by herself (all three of them). Both women were more interested in chatting with a table of people than serving the rest of their guests.She finally came to our table and rattled off the prices for 10 entrees on a chalkboard, which I promptly forgot. Who knows what was actually included in each meal.After I heard her badmouthing me to the same table as before, we left.

I love this place. Cozy and divine home cooking. Everything is delish!! Highly recommend and quite reasonable. Love it every time!

As other reviews have said, the food is good and gets 5 stars. But last night I went there just before the free concert (Tunes by the Track) took place across the street. The cafe was packed crowded and very loud. It took 40 minutes for a burger. A larger party behind us ordered after we did and were practically done eating by the time we got our food. No discount was offered. The question to other readers: is it fair to assess a bad rating in this situation? Was it an aberration? Shouldn't a system be in place for such a situation?A neutral 3 stars is a good compromise.

This meal cost $12. No cheese, no toasted sesame bun, no pickle and nothing special. $12 for one sliver of lettuce and one slice of tomato, and a few soggy fries. What a disappointment.
