Wyatt's Diner

I got the neckbones n rice, collards, and macaroni. Loved all of it...except the collards were a little too mushy. The flavor was good but I can't do mushy collards. The macaroni was EVERYTHING!

Sooooooo good this outside isn't pretty but the food though.....mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm. The service was great and very attentive.

Dear Wyatt's Diner,I defend my favorite local restaurants every day from negative Yelp reviews. This one was personal.The only thing that Eleni P. said about your food that was true was that it's not good. Because your food is exceptional, life changing, and just about every other praise that can be given to food.I ate your ribs about four years ago. On the hood of my car. After finishing up a short stack of pancakes, a ¼ pound of bacon, and three cups of OJ about a mile down the street from you. Even with my stomach stretched to its limits, your ribs were the best meat on a bone I've ever had in my life.Just thought you should know that.All the best in the name of food.- Yelpman

THEY got beef ribs again! They had stopped selling beef ribs for a while because of exorbitant price of beef, but they were still selling pork ribs. I've patronized Wyatt's since they were Sgt Wyatt's on Gordon Rd, near Hightower in SW Atlanta. Yes, it looks like a joint and there is no indoor dining. Its old but clean. But, what it lacks in appearance it more than makes up in the always good food and kind friendly service. I drive across Atlanta to get their beef ribs. Yes, they are expensive; but, do you have farm raiding cows? I didn't think so. Pork ribs or excellent; but, I prefer the beef ribs!

Alright lemme break down Wyatt's for you.Wyatt's has been here longer than me. It's been here long enough to go from "You couldn't pay me to live around here." to "My job doesn't pay me enough to live around here" and that's for a good reason - it's good BBQ. Actually I shouldn't even say good bbq, they've got a little bit of everything soul here and it's all good. The ribs, chicken, and turkey wings are my favorites and they all just work.It's a small hole in the wall shack that hasn't been upgraded since forever, but don't let that drive you away. The food is good here and it's always been good. The mac and cheese is bomb, the yams are sweet, the peach cobbler is banging, the ribs lit - I could go into so many different words but I'll leave it with 'the food is good.'It's a takeout only spot, so don't bring the family with you - bring it to them instead. But outside of that? Just prepare for some good down to earth food.

I once eat food from this place an was sick (FOOD POISONING) for ten days. This place could not feasible pass a food inspection. It is nasty. Why I eat there; I do not know, but browsing restaurants I came over their location and horrible visions came to mind. I just had to tell everyone my experience. At the time I was too sick to complain. STAY AWAY!!!

As we were driving to visit our (grown) kids in EAV area, my hub said "that is the best BBQ in Atlanta. Having grown up near Memphis, I wanted to try it.I have driven past there many times and barely even noticed it. It is a little green "shack" behind Da Corner Cafe at the corner of Memorial and Maynard Terr.So we stopped on the way home and picked up lunch to go: pork ribs, "all white meat" chicken dinner with collard greens and cole slaw.Although Mem area is known for dry rub BBQ, I always preferred the wet sauce - sweet and tangy style. My H told the truth, it is hands down the best southern style BBQ in Atlanta. The sauce is perfect for my taste. The collard greens were so flavorful with collard greens not a lot of other stuff, cooked to southern perfection. The slaw was not for me / too creamy, but it is fresh with a zing in the flavor.The chicken was tender but at all soggy or stringy, also cooked exactly right. It was a fantastic simply delicious meal. The place is teeny tiny. I haven't been I side but H told me the whole place is about the size of our kitchen. It was always a takeout place.Though it says Wyatt's is closed on Sundays in some listings, we were glad that it was open today, though with a limited menu.

Not sure I'd even call this a Diner but what I will call it is some Damn Good Cooking! Looks can be deceiving because driving by this very small joint says nothing about the BIG flavors they're putting down. You can't eat in but that doesn't matter because if you're like me, once you get your food, get in your car, it's a wrap! We never make it home with a plate of Wyatt's!

Food is okay !corn bread is too heavy, not tasty greens need a little love/tenderness. One of the sons needs to adjust his customer service and attitude.

This place ROCKS! Great food and the people are so nice!I was in Atlanta for an interview and searched the internet for the best bbq - it failed miserably. Fortunately, asking locals (generally this provides the best advice) worked and I was told that Wyatt's Country BBQ had THE best pulled pork. I went there immediately and it was amazing - so good in fact that I returned the next day to take some on the plane for my trip home.The pulled pork (sandwich) was perfectly seasoned - no sauce needed. The mac and cheese was old style good; the black-eyed peas and cornbread were like my mom's. The ribs I took home were so tender and had great flavor - none of that fake smoke anywhere near these ribs! Fingers crossed I get the job; will be closer to the best bbq I've had in years.
