16 Great Black-Owned Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"For a restaurant to go from an after-church-lets-out stop in the ’80s to getting shouted out on Goodie Mob’s 1995 classic song “Soul Food,” it must have been great. For that same place to be relevant many decades later, it must be timeless. Cascade’s all-day-dining destination is all of the above. Nary a person—not Cee-Lo Green, not your aunt Jean, nobody—will ever categorize the food here as greasy or salty. (We know they aim for healthier standards, but we’ve always thought the mac and cheese could use a smidge more butter.) But they will say the beef ribs are consistent, the pancakes are divine, and the dining room is always immaculate." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
