    Read Reviews

    529 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 (map)

    "The food and the fact that it's Gladys Knight's restaurant is the attraction. The best soul food in Atlanta. But the chicken and waffles are the point of it all. That's the reason that people go."

    "If you want to get a lot of shopping done, this is the place to go. It's the stores you don't see in smaller malls, everything from an indie store to a Louis Vuitton store, which has really cute shoes. It's kind of an upper-class mall, really chill. But I don't really get the food there. I'm not a mall eater."

    "I'm not really a concert person, unless my friends are in it. My friends were in the Scream Tour, like Yung Joc and Fanny [Fantasia from "American Idol]" so that's the reason I went there. ... "

    "Wal-Mart and Target are way better than the mall. ... In Atlanta, all the Atlanta stars, like T.I. and so on and so forth [go there]. All the rappers. ... There's nothing wrong with Wal-Mart. You can find everything you need to be glamorous and fabulous, a lot cheaper. I go to Wal-Mart for everything. It's a time saver. ... "

    They have all kinds of pizza. Dessert pizza, hamburger pizza, taco pizza, and it's all you can eat. My favorite is the dessert pizza, which is apple-cinammon."
