The two Kims run a terrific establishment I felt like I was around the most welcoming ppl Atlanta has to offer! And did I mention the food?! I had the oxtails and veggies and Mac..the food was perfectly seasoned and prepared. It always was my first time there so I was showered with delicious samples:) Not one thing was short of divine!

I like to support local spots when I’m in area for business. This is a winner, the cabbage is so good, had to go back and order more. I wanted to try the key lime cake, and so did many others who ordered after me. They were sold out. Next time for sure.

I love eating here, the 1st time I ate there, I ordered fried chicken, whiting, and ribs with fries, butter beans and rice. It was so good I went back and got oxtails with rice and yams. If you want a good soul food cooking then this is the place to go. Also the staff is professional, great customer service.

People usually don’t trust Soul Food outside of their homes, but when I say KIM’S KRAVINS is right there with my grandma’s recipes!!!!! I love ALL the sides, the fish is battered to perfection and their hospitality makes you feel right at home, even though it’s conveniently carry out! I love it, and going to make it my staple for when I want good home cooking!

SOOOO GOOD!! taste like my grandma in the kitchen lol. Kim at the front is amazing and very friendly (both Kim’s are great even the one cooking). I went back the next day and got more lol. I love the fried pork chops so good. All sides are good. I’ve been looking for a soul food place in GA and this is the one!!! They give good portions, and they aren’t stingy at all like some restaurants.

This is my go to spot anytime I'm in Ellenwood. The food is amazing, I have yet to try the full menu but I've tried most and everything I've had so far "has been money dude". It's an excellent home cooked meal away from home. I can't say I have any favorites but I love the ribs, fried fish, and smothered pork chops. I can't wait to try the oxtail, they're next on my list. I highly recommend you give Kim's Kravins a try and you'll fall in love too.

The food was so good that I took one bite while driving home and had to stop to finish the rest. Also make sure to try the cake. The key lime cake is my favorite. If I had to recommend one place to eat, I would recommend this one first.
