April's Place

Amazing food, friendly and fast service, reasonable prices. The management allowed our nonprofit to use as a drop off location for an annual toy drive. They we helpful and love the community. We decided to have our Christmas party here also. I have been here over 10 times and they never disappoint

I had the oxtail plate with cabbage, rice, yams and a cornbread muffin. The seasoning and flavor were on point. The oxtails gravy was delicious but the oxtails were not fall off the bone tender. The cornbread muffin stood out as real cornbread very butter tasting but not sweet bread aka jiffy. The yams were great sweet but not too sweet. My wife had smothered white meat chicken and she said the meat was dry as if the gravy was just poured over it. But she did say it was seasoned great. Let the gravy soak into the meat. Dinner was delicious but the peach cobbler was horrible. I got two small pieces of peaches and the breading was just a mushy mess.

I was getting my car washed in the plaza and noticed this place. Plenty of parking in the front and on the sides. The younger guy who took my to-go order was really nice. This place was really clean. I had the veggie plate. I wasn’t impressed but would give this place a second try. Mac&cheese: 1000/10 Best I’ve had in life! Collards: Flat with no taste. Could use some vinegar and grease or texture from a piece of meat Yams: Prepare for diabetic shock. WAY to sweet Rice: Not pictured but no gravy only some onions? Or maybe there was a light film or gravy? Consider gravy on the side in a separate container. Lastly, was told I’d get bread. No bread.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I order just the Yams 90% of the Time I come into this spot. The cabbage and mac & cheese are also the 💣💥. Their Veggie Plate is awesome 👍 Thanks April for doing what y'all do

The food and the service were great. I forgot to take a photo of the stuffed catfish, yams, & potato salad before I began eating. The potato salad was ok but I didn't like the peels being left on the potato and it lacked seasoning. The seafood eggrolls were divine! I will most definitely be back.

Our first time dining at April's The Greeting was everything as soon as we walked through the door The drinks were good The food very pleasing to the eye , great portions, our server recommendations were amazing ...We will definitely be back soon

The food here is AMAZING!! If you're looking for authentic Soulfood without all the pork or beef cooked in your veggies, then this is the place for you. I've gone here twice and without disappointment. The food is well seasoned and the portions are very hearty. I don't eat beef or pork but the smothered chicken and the smothered turkey wings...OMG! I highly recommend this place. The price is also comproable for the amount of food that is served. The sweet tea and Arnold Palmer outstanding, just the way a southern drink is to be made.

For this to be my first time it wasn’t as bad as the reviews made it seem. I was a little skeptical, because of the reviews however, I was hungry and wanted something good! Really came in for the catfish and I am picky when it comes to mine! But I can say I was happy, even tried the special stuffed catfish. I’m happy and I tasted it in store before I left. Definitely glad I checked my plate before leaving to make sure I had everything.

I stopped here for lunch and got it to go. The service was fast and very friendly. My order was taken immediately and the server got me a Togo water while I waited. The oxtail was tasty. It had a little too much pepper and the gravy was a little salty but it was still good. The oxtail to rice ratio was on point too. I felt like I got a good amount of meat and a medium amount of rice. Which is a nice change when it comes to oxtail. I got the candied yams and cabbage as my sides. There was a mix up and I ended up with Mac and cheese instead of cabbage though. The dinning area is spotless and well decorated. I was very happy with my visit.

This was certainly a 10/10 experience. I am literally sitting at the bar and had to write a review because this place is so fire. Food: we had the menu items listed in the photos. The catfish was crispy and well seasoned, the gizzards tasted like they were made at churchs chicken . Everything was so well seasoned without being overly salted and well cooked. We were a party of 4 and every single thing we tasted was delightful. Service: we had the pleasure to be assisted by the manager, Kendall. He made sure our drinks never went empty, recommended those delicious gizzards, and took care of us in a way that felt like family. Ambiance: music was old school r&b and when we first got here there were quite a few families. It's a good blend of adult fun and family friendly. Beautiful space.

The restaurant is Beautiful inside and out. Upon entering we were greeted by a very friendly staff. They all seemed happy and had smiles on their faces. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the entire menu, including the drink menu. Our food was very warm, and delicious. This was my first visit, but it won't be my last.

Blackened salmon plate was absolutely delicious. I got it with dirty rice, collard greens and Mac and cheese. It also came with a cornbread muffin. All were absolutely delicious, the sauce had great flavor and complemented the shrimp and salmon just right. The Mac and cheese also had really great texture and flavor. The collard greens were good as we'll have a great go at flavor but not over powering. Over all was a wonderful experience and I will be back several times to try all dishes they have.

I have had three meals here and each one was really good. First meal was onsite, very nice atmosphere, service was great, food was hot and fresh and quite tasty! Two delivered meals were equally good and freshly prepared. Definitely a go to for me when I don't want to cook.

The collard greens gumbo, fried chicken wing, and fried catfish are amazing. The food came out hot. Everything was delicious. The servers were friendly. The place was electric. They had karaoke going on and it was fun. The place is clean.

Food excellent, Service excellent, Atmosphere welcoming. The recipe for success. This is a hidden gem! I have already made one referral and I'm still sitting in the restaurant!

We visited this fried chicken place and honestly we liked it very much. The chicken was very tasty, crispy outside and soft inside, just like how we wanted. Spices were perfect, not too much and not too less. The staff also treated us very nicely, with full respect and smile. Place was neat and comfortable to sit with family. For anyone who loves good fried chicken, this is the place I will surely suggest. Next time definitely we are coming again with more friends

I've been very disappointed with them for the past year but decided to give them 1 last chance. Got the catfish meal delivered. The catfish was ok, string beans were very salty, Mac n cheese and yams were ok. They forgot the corn muffin. Not likely to go back.

Called in order and told 15 min Get there wait an hour and food comes out ice cold Terrible Would have been ok with it if the food had come out hot $50 gone like that

Amazing service by Jalen he was wonderful and very informative. We Had oxtails with sweet potatoes and green beans. Best in town. Ask for Jalen to serve you he is a delight.

Service is friendly, greeted at the door with a smile & preferred seating anywhere. The place wasn't full at all. Lunch folks dining, possibly regulars with a group of older women. It's clean & looks brand new in the plaza. We looked over the menu. Decided on our dishes & awaited maybe 10-15 mins. My food was great, but I'd prefer my fish darker & fried hard. I had to ask for an extra side of Creole sauce. My friends food was great. The side of cabbage was very bland without seasoning. Mac n cheese creamy. Porkchop fried hard & crispy, so good. We'd be back! It's good, but not great. It gave what needed to be given!! Two drinks was sweet tea+lemonade mix. Super sweet. We asked for an extra water & diluted it!!

Randomly picked April's on my way to Douglasville running errands. We checked Yelp and this was highly rated and on the way. Arrived and this shopping center is fairly new. This location has been here since September so it's been a few months. We were greeted and told to take a seat anywhere. There's a sign with the specials, bar had drinks flowing, TVs on and music playing. Great energy and lots of food coming out the kitchen. Note: Takeout is extremely popular here. Our server was the daughter of April and had such a great attitude! She filled us in on the popular drinks and dishes. We ordered that, plus an appetizer and entrees for brunch. To start we had the curry egg rolls. Delicious! Cocktails were yummy and strong. Entrees were salmon croquettes, grits & eggs and fried chicken with greens, rice & gravy. Good portion and served hot. We passed on dessert but the blueberry pound cake and bread pudding we'll be back for. Highly recommend you go visit!

My lash technician recommended this place as it is in her plaza. I ordered take-out--which I was a little skeptical about as I was ordering fish!! Let me tell you!! EVERYTHING was. delicious!!! Packed neatly snd still hot 20 mins later!! Sorry. I forgot to take pictures.... I ordered fried fish and grits, turkey wings with cabbage and yams, and cubed steak with yams and collards. The sides were made from scratch and EVERYTHING was seasoned to perfection!! I did not need to add anything!! The sauce for the grits was amazing and my fish still had a nice crunch to it!! Bottom line, It's GREAT FOOD at GREAT PRICES!!! We will be back. Hopefully to dine in as they have a very spacious dining area.

My first time eating here. Really good food. The macaroni and cheese was outstanding. I also had fried chicken, which was flavorful and not greasy. I'm making plans to come back and try more on the menu.

Stopped in to this local restaurant for lunch for the first time. Service was excellent (Thanks Randall, I believe was his name). Both me and my wife's food was delicious (she had shrimp and grits and I had fried pork chops with mac & cheese and cabbage). Loved the music playing, we kept rocking with it. Would recommend this spot to anyone. Can't wait to try more food there.

Easy on the salt! I might give it one more try. Our food was way too salty so I haven't been back. Hoping that by writing this review it will help them improve.

I've lived in Douglasville for 7 years and just learned of this restaurant via a visiting family member. April's Place will be added to my list of go-to's for good food and vibes.

One things for sure they know how to throw down in the kitchen!! We ended up getting the herb chicken with collard greens and potato salad as well as the creole fish and grits. One word YUM. Collard greens are some of the best I've ever had and grits are super creamy. Portion sizes are big and definitely worth the money. The servers were attentive and had great hospitality. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Definitely will be coming back! 10/10 recommend.

Hands Down, I swear to Jesus Christ this place has the best food I've had since I moved to Georgia in 2014....quality, taste, price, proportions and anything else you can think of, they literally knocking it out of the park. They greet you at the door respectfully and attend to your needs very frequently. I swear to Jesus it don't get no better than here....this place should be here for decades to come....salute to this amazing place to get some amazing food!!

I only go for the karaoke. The food is not that good. It takes forever for the food to come out after you order and then you have to wait even longer to get silverware. If they run out food they don't let you know right away so you can order something else. The bartender doesn't know how to make a good drink. Stick with some ice water. I would not recommend April's.

It was a slow day and the staff was friendly and very helpful. However the food was ok. There was nothing that stood out. I'm on the fence about giving them a second chance.

The service was good. Our food arrived @ our table hot in a reasonable amount of time. There was great music & ambiance. We will be back to patronize this establishment! !!

The whiting was the best I've ever tasted! The cabbage was delicious, the service was prompt and pleasant and the venue was clean. I will definitely make a point to patronize again when I'm back in town.

Completely dissatisfied, I never had tough meatloaf, the only good thing I had was yam, they were by far not the best I've had, but were good

service and food was amazing, dined in for the first time and the music and vibes was exactly what I needed on this nice self care Sunday, will definitely come back soon.

Best soul food in the area. I'm from Charleston SC and we know soul food. The service was friendly and I absolutely enjoyed everything I ordered. The portion sizes were good. I don't understand the lack of ratings but I do suggest stopping by. God Bless

First time trying the place. It was not busy so we decided to dine in. We ordered pineapple Mango lemon drops. They were disgusting. I have a bar so I do know drinks. The young girl admitted she didn't know how to make it. So perhaps she shouldn't be making drinks then. I got there 6:40 pm. I ordered an appetizer of cheesesteak egg rolls. They were really good however I did not get them until 7:18 and there were 3 customers in there. Why did it take 40 minutes for an appetizer? Our entrees were fried wing dinner and cube steak dinner. Needless to say we never got our food. We ordered at 6:40 pm and at 7:49 pm still had never got our food. They kept saying it's coming it never did. Finally we got up cancelled our order. The girl told the kitchen never mind you can cancel that order. So that means you never even placed it.Meanwhile the sign says you close at 8. It was 7:49pm Ppl were in there sweeping up but I never got my food. When we left we got sarcastic bye have a good day by the staff. You wasted an hour and 19 minutes of my time for nothing and horrible service! You charged me $39 for a damn eggroll and 2 trash drinks! Horrible customer service. Owner needs to refund for those horrible drinks made by kids! Will never patronize again.
