17 Outstanding Soul Food Restaurants Around Atlanta

"Regulars to this Sweet Auburn Curb Market soul food stall know what’s up, and have for years. Metro Deli continues to be one of the market’s staple food stalls, serving up breakfast and meat-and-two plates, starting early in the morning. Load up cafeteria style with baked spaghetti and ribs and fried chicken with sides of collards, mac and cheese, and dirty rice. Grab some banana pudding or peach cobbler for dessert. Lunch specials at Metro Deli include one meat, two sides, and cornbread for just under $10. The stall also serves wraps and sandwiches perfect for lunch on the go." - Mike Jordan, Eater Staff
