"After closing in Alpharetta recently, soul food spot Auntie Vee’s Kitchen is on the move as a food truck while owner Navena Moore prepares to reopen the restaurant in Berkeley Park at the Forrest Street Eatery facility. For now, folks can catch the food truck popping up around town at festivals and other locations. Auntie Vee’s is where soul food classics and Caribbean flavors merge in savory dishes like jerk chicken fried rice, a variety of rice bowls, and an oxtail dinner that comes with a choice of sides like peas and rice, grits, fried cabbage, or cornbread. Moore’s delicious takes on baked mac and cheese are worth seeking out. This includes the Kamal’ee tossed with tri-colored peppers and chopped jerk chicken topped with tortilla chips and house jerk sauce and the hot lemon pepper chicken mac and cheese bowl. The sweet potato cream cheese pie is a must for dessert. Halal." - Mike Jordan, Eater Staff

This is THE best food I’ve had in Atlanta!! The ox tail is super tender and tasty, and the jerk chicken is absolutely delicious. The Mac and cheese was super creamy and cheesy, any other Mac and cheese experience I have going forward will be hard to beat this one. I highly highly recommend this place if you’re looking for food that will have you nonstop thinking about it for days!!

They are serving grandma’s house style portions at Auntie Vee’s, they are going to feed you very well. The portion sizes are definitely shareable, the staff as very friendly and professional. I had the oxtails and grits👌🏾🤯🔥🔥, the chimichanga 🤯🔥👌🏾👌🏾 and a slice of the their famous sweet potato and cream cheese dessert. I have to warn you, if you’re going back to an office job be prepared to take a nap lol. Highly recommended 10/10

I went to Auntie Vee’s on Saturday and I got the oxtails and Mac and cheese bowl. I waited 31 minutes to get my food and when I opened up the container I saw that they were burnt. I immediately took them back and they called the mom to the front and she said they are smoked and not burnt. I wasn’t offered a different option or a refund. I ended up getting an oxtail plate from a different restaurant for $22 that was great. Very disappointed in Auntie Vee

The food at this halal soul food restaurant was absolutely amazing—rich in flavor, perfectly seasoned, and served in just the right portions. Every bite was a delight! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. From start to finish, it was a fantastic meal in a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The food was great! You get a large portion. The picture doesn’t do it justice. The plate is packed. I also had the cabbage which wasn’t my favorite but everything else pictured was phenomenal

I just had Auntie Vee’s for the first time today, and wow, it was so good! I went with a rice bowl and salmon, plus a side of mac and cheese. Oh, and I couldn’t resist grabbing a slice of the sweet potato cream cheese pie after sampling it – lawd! The salmon rice bowl was packed with flavor and had just the right amount of spice. The mac and cheese was perfectly creamy, just how I like it. Honestly, I’m so glad I stumbled upon Auntie Vee’s while out running Saturday errands. Definitely going back for more!

Catered some of the Jerk Chicken Mac and cheese for a pot luck at work and when i tell you it was a favorite, literally everyone asked me to send them auntie vee’s info so they can go themselves one day. So frickin good. On top of that, the owner and her family were so sweet and so nice. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back to try more stuff on the menu

Overrated!!! I came and the customer service was nonexistent. The girl at the register didn't utter one word to me AT ALL!! This one lady was literally on the phone and picking her nose 👃 I have video footage. After 22 minutes waiting I asked the rude girl sitting there is my food ready? She said nothing got up and looked and started bagging my ordering. It had been sitting there!!! 😳 I didn't eat until I got home, good is mid asf!!! The pricing listed is not the pricei was charged the sign said $19 and I was charged $23 for jerk chicken mac and cheese. It was not worth it at all maybe $15 but not $23!!! No apology for the inconvenience NOTHING!!! I'll NEVER BE BACK!! FIRST AND LAST TIME.

Here from Dallas and all I can say is this place is soooo good. I'm a major foodie and Auntie Vees hit the spot. I got the oxtail, mac and cheese, peas and rice. 10/10

* Food This place is so good. I had a rice bowl and the mac and cheese bowl. Both were crazy delicious and so much food it made two servings. I still think about that jerk chicken. Food is awesome. Definitely going into my repeats. * Service Well, if you must know, there were enough complaints about "slow service" that I tried to go during an off-peak time. I ended up there when there was only one or two other tables, went to the counter, and put in my order. What I figured out is ... the service is very pleasant. The folks there are patient, helpful, and attentive. What I think people are talking about is how long it takes for food to come out. Here's the thing, Auntie Vee ain't shortcutting. When your mac and cheese comes out, it's been baked and is bubbling at your table. It's worth it. * Ambiance Spacious, comfortable seating... but no actual kind of theme. They had a projector set up with a movie playing when we were there. We passed the time waiting on order, playing one of many types of board/card games -- UNO in our case.

When you arrive you see that there are other food venues that have their pickup. Sometimes parking is limited. Ignore the lockers go to the window or call them from the number online to let them know you are there! They will either bring it to your car or to the window inside! This food here was amazing! Best to order online before coming. This place is popular and a lot of ppl waiting. I got the oxtail bowel with the Mac n cheese! The oxtails was tender juicy and the Mac n cheese was made like someone grandma was cooking it! Cheesy seasoned well and full of flavor from the oxtail gravy! Made fresh and hot form the oven. Also note that they are open late nights!! The price of the bowl was 26 dollars but definitely worth it! Good portion maybe three big pieces oxtails and mac n cheese at the bottom with gravy from the oxtails.

Whenever I see oxtails on a menu, I'm there. Was super excited to see the options at Auntie Vees. I placed an order on a Saturday right when they opened and was surprised when the quoted pick up time was more than an hour later. Parking can be tough at the pick up spot, and you have to call Auntie Vees for them to bring the order down (instead of using the lockers). I ordered the jerk fries, oxtail pizza, and oxtail mac and cheese. The jerk fries were phenomenal, the chicken was nicely seasoned and the fries held up nicely and didn't get mushy on the ride home. The pizza was my favorite. I was a bit disappointed by the Mac and cheese because it was just bone in oxtail on top of Mac and cheese. I was hoping for something more like the pizza where the meat was deboned and combined with onions and peppers. All in all, very good food. I will definitely order from here again.

This place is great! The food is delicious and I can't compliment them enough for the service. Definitely recommend the different Mac&Cheese they offer. The Kamal'ee Mac is so good. I ordered Togo, but had to try it before leaving! Definitely try the in-house slushies!!!

Food - I ordered the fried chicken wings with cabbage and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was well seasoned and the macaroni and cheese was surprisingly good! I'll definitely order these two items again. I did not care for the cabbage it was a little bland. The cornbread was also not to my liking, but not terrible. My husband ordered a rice bowl with jerk chicken and he really enjoyed it and gave it a solid 8/10 Service- They seemed a little short staffed. When we arrived we waited a little while as the cashier was still wrapping up a to go order over at a table. Someone else came from the back and spoke to us but didn't ask to take our order or answer any questions about the menu. Once the to go order left, the cashier was very attentive and helpful! Ambiance- clean establishment, kind staff, chill environment I only took a star away because of the cabbage and cornbread but that's just my preference. We'll definitely be back! Glad we gave this place a try

Food was off the chain. The homemade lemonade was incredible good. The macaroni and cheese was dope, and the oxtails that came with it were very tender and well-seasoned. The vibe was pretty laid back, and the server was very hospitable.

...And the Noodle Award goes to Auntie Vee's Kitchen for their AMAZING Jerk Chicken Mac n Cheese bowl! It has all of the flavors and the comfort of the Caribbean! This dish is my absolute favorite @auntie_vees . Stop by and tell them that Yolithefoodie recommends the Mac n Cheese bowl topped with the delicious jerk chicken.

Happy to see a black business in the area. I've been here twice so far. Ordering can be a bit confusing. The first time, I tried to order something I saw on the ig page, but I guess I didn't see what I thought? Because it wasn't an option...the cashier tried her best to be helpful but I was already so confused. Be prepared to wait. Food is cooked fresh from what I can tell. My first time, there was a party ahead of me and one after. Not busy or crowded and it took about 25 minutes to get my food to go. The second time, it took a little under 15. I was extremely disappointed to find they removed bread pudding and sweet potato cream cheese pie from the menu. The prices gave me sticker shock. Granted, there is enough food for 2 servings, it does seem slightly overpriced. The Mac and cheese is no joke. It's delicious, but $8 for a side?? The staff is friendly, and there is a cute set up. I suggest visiting to get an idea of the menu AND ask questions and then in the future, ordering ahead to reduce time waiting.

Love this place... some of the best Jerk chicken I've ever had. The Jerk Chicken Mac n Cheese is absolutely amazing. Great place.

I stopped in during their soft opening. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. I got the jerk chicken and I would definitely get it again. I also got the mac and cheese which was super rich and cheesy. It looks like they need more staff - the service was a bit slow - but that is not unexpected for a soft opening. I hope they get in a great crowd of customers because the food is delicious and they deserve to be successful.

This place is bomb! We ordered here after seeing reviews on Yelp and noticing the pictures! That was enough for us to drive from Suwanee to get a taste! We got oxtails with Mac/rice and peas/cabbage, the Mac with the jerk chicken, the wings with the spicy garlic sauce, a side of yams, and peach cobbler. First, everything was fresh and hot! The oxtails were good, but have a bit of a kick! The meal was large and the food was flavorful. The yams are amazing!! The cabbage had a great taste as well as the rice and peas! The Mac was tasty, but I wish it was a little creamier- it's definitely cheesy! The mac with jerk chicken was good, but also had a kick! The wings were good, the taste was definitely unique; the breading was just a little crumbly! Now the peach cobbler.... I would go there just for that. Don't change a thing because it's the BEST cobbler I've had yet (and I think I personally made a great cobbler, but I have to admit defeat when it comes to those flavors)! I will definitely visit again and I can't wait to try the sweet potato cream cheese pie and the banana caramel pudding! Btw, the restaurant was clean, and the women running it was as sweet as can be! Give her business lots of love, and you will get fresh, made to order, delicious food from the soul!

Amazing food really impressed by the Halal oxtail and Mac and cheese . The service is great and you can tell they put care into their cooking.

Auntie Vee's food is delicious!!! I've been twice and purchased a jerk chicken dinner with macaroni & cheese, cabbage, and cornbread. It was great every time.

Sufhan M.

Yelp
food was really flavorful and delicious. They were out of the regular jerk chicken sandwich the day we went but I enjoyed the macaroni and cheese and a grilled chicken rice bowl. It is on the pricier side but the quantity and quality is really good - the macaroni plate could be split easily between two people in my opinion.

Siham H.

Yelp
We decided to go here since almost every place was closed Christmas Day and a friend recommended the place. My husband ordered the ox tail and grits and I ordered the sweet garlic wings and Mac and cheese. My expectations were surpassed. The place was clean. The service exceptional. The food was good... I was actually surprised. The spot is fairly new and I definitely see myself not only recommending this spot but also returning many more times.

Food is the bomb.com!! I had the salmon, peas and rice and cabbage. Everything was perfect. Season and prepared well!! Will definitely be going back!

Yelp
I am always blown away with how delicious the food is here. It's always very fresh and exceptionally flavorful. The staff is friendly, and they even remember their repeat customers I only wish that they served breakfast year-round, and not just during Ramadan because those oxtails and grits were probably the best thing that I've eaten in recent times!! I loved the lamb bacon egg and cheese sandwich as well but the oxtail and grit combo did something to me! I will always come back and continue to spread the word about how good this place is!!

Terence L.

Yelp
AMAZING food and super nice proprietors. I had the jerk wings, cabbage, corn & bean salad and mac'n'cheese and, let me tell you, I couldn't stop eating. The mac'n'cheese is AWESOME and the jerk chicken was for REAL jerk...and not the americanized version. I cant wait to try EVERYTHING.

Jerilyn D.

Yelp
The wait is worth it! The chicken is unbelievable very flavorful and delicious. My husband says their spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best he's had, specially with their delicious Cole slaw as a topping. I chose not spicy but it was still flavorful. Their Cool G lemonade made with coconut milk is sooo good. Definitely a 5 star for us, and we are usually really picky.

Donald B.

Yelp
This food is amazing!! They actually grill their jerk chicken!! None of that "baked" jerk chicken nonsense that most "Carribean" restaurants are serving in metro Atlanta. They describe their menu as "Carribean Fusion". Their menu is diverse collection of Carribean inspired dishes paired with a collection of delicious side items. Special shoutout to that Mac & Cheese!!! Not to mention other menu items, including specialty sandwiches and desserts that only a bonified chef would have thought to create. I'm still exploring their menu, but I've not been disappointed by anything that I have tried so far. I have heard tales that the ox tails are to die for, but right now I'm stuck on the Jerk Chicken and butter and garlic rice. Auntie Vee's is worth a visit and is definitely a taste experience!! Highly recommended.

Amazing service. Staff is very personable and friendly. The woman up front remembered my order and I had only been there once! Feels like a family vibe the food is AMAZING!! Taste like someone's grandma is cooking in the kitchen will def be back!

Chicken was AMAZING! Super flavorful, crispy skin and juicy on the inside. The Mac and cheese was yummy too.

Best jerk chicken around. Mac & cheese is awesome. Definitely putting this place in our eat out rotation!

AMAZING! My wife and I enjoyed our meals so much, I am writing this review while still in the restaurant. We've had Caribbean cuisine several times, locally and abroad, and I honestly cannot compare any other experience to Auntie Vee's. I had the jerk chicken, Mac and cheese and cabbage. I'm not a particularly big eater, but I ate until I was stuffed... and still had a nice sized portion to take with me. We will definitely be back again... and again. *I have a hard time seeing how anyone could give this establish one star.

My first time eating here today. The jerk whole wings and the creamy grits. Taste absolutely delicious. I'm from Illinois and they are also. I will definitely be back. The staff was great.

I can't believe I'm actually writing this during the month of Ramadan about Muslim business owners as another Muslim im always super supportive to my black and Islamic communities especially the women and to have had the experience I had today while fasting trying to break my fast me and my family I'm super disappointed. We placed our order at 649 and didn't receive it until 830 and we had to break fast with water and wait an additional hour. We called because the order expired on the app and they two women were extremely rude and condescending telling us we were supposed to call when we got to the lobby she said "well how was I supposed to know you were here?" I'm like maybe based off the time of delivery or when you said the food was ready on the app? Then she says well it's only 825 your time was 820 what's the problem????? Maybe I waited an hour and 30 minutes thus far? Just to meet her in the lobby and her see that I'm Muslim and never said thank you or anything with an attitude on her face. Clearly this establishment thinks we need them and customer service isn't important and it's sad to see. I hoped I was an anomaly but then I saw how nasty they respond to customers on their instagram so unprofessional. All this for mediocre food! Philadelphia Muslims where I'm from would never. I would never spend a dime with them or recommend them to anyone. $70 dollars for 2 platters just to be treated like this? I can only imagine how they act outside of Ramadan. Fear Allah

Well worth coming from chamblee. Seen it on instagram and knew it's was good. The food is REALLY good and I will be coming back.

Firstly let me just say I am quite the critic when it comes to my food. Auntie Vee's exceeded my expectations. It is family owned and operated. The food is cooked with loads of love. I had the Jerk Chicken Dinner with Cool G Lemonade oh and don't start me on the peach cobbler I don't know what they put in that LEMONADE but it is DEFINITELY Worth buying and trying lol. The owner came out and chatted with my husband and I. Her daughters are all GEMS. I love the music that was playing and they are all super kind. As a business owner my service is always important. They will have my business as long as they're open. PLEASE don't let anyone deter you from trying. I wish I would've taken a pic of my food. The way my belly setup it wanted to eat before taking a picture to share. Next time I will post a pic.

Best I've ever had. Jerk was on point and the mac n cheese out of this world. I recommend this place if you love great food.

Forgot to write a review... but was thinking of the peach cobbler tonight! This place is a hidden gem. Super sweet family. The food is sooo good. I don't like oxtails and would have never tried oxtails and grits but these were delicious! We have been back multiple times and will go back tonight!

Aminah A.

Yelp
The food is delicious! I ordered the oxtail meal and it did not disappoint. I also had their sweet heat wings which were very good. I found out they have brunch on the weekends so of course I had to try that out as well. BEST FRENCH TOAST ever. I'm not a big coffee drinker but the iced cookie coffee hit! Oh yeah and the inside is super cute and they have a nice selection of board games and playing cards to keep you and your family entertained while you wait. & the service is good.

LOVED the peach cobbler and Mac and cheese! The cabbage I had was a bit tough but overall I have enjoyed the food multiple times and will keep going back. The cornbread, French toast and fried (lemon pepper dry) wings all get a thumbs up as well. Love having tasty comfort food finally available without a long drive!

I loved everything about Auntie V's Kitchen when I went for lunch. The chicken sandwich was huge I couldn't even eat it all and ate the rest later. The good is made to order so everything is served fresh and hot. Staff is friendly and I met Auntie Vee herself and she was delightful. This place is added to my list of go-tos from here on out. Please support!

Omg the food is amazing! The staff was nice and professional me and daughters really enjoyed our visit. We tried the oxtail and grits bomb grits were creamy, oxtails were the best I've had. I had the Mac and cheese/ jerk chicken bowl omg the flavors were bomb. We also tried the berry stuff French toast with jerk chicken. Let me tell the chicken was so good and tender fell off the bone you can Auntie Bee's take pride in the food and customer service. I'll be back this week I wish I could give them 10 stars.

Veronica W.

Yelp
I was so happy when I came across this restaurant! The food is amazing! I actually went twice in one week. First I tried the oxtails so full of flavor and tender! Today I went back for the jerk chicken, yams, and garlic rice with cornbread. I absolutely love everything I've ordered! The owner is a really nice lady with great energy! Very helpful with going over the menu and making sure your taste buds gets what it's craving! Now I no longer have to drive into the city just to get good southern Caribbean food.

Unfortunately, today was not a good one for this establishment. My first time here and we waited almost 2 hours for our meal (per my receipt, I ordered at 4:17pm, and finally received my food at 6:04pm. I was constantly asked if I wanted a dessert, drink or fries. I would have preferred MY food or even a simple apology, rathet than a simple "I am aware" when I told the server, at the time, that I had been waiting an hour. It would be helpful to manage expectations at the time of order so that customers can decide if they want to wait. I appreciate that Friday is pretty busy, but at least provide upfront notice of wait times. The food was good, however, while I love salty food, this was a bit overly so. Additionally, the oxtails on the pizza were few, and most pieces were fatty. I will not return, mostly because it was unsettling that I was made to feel that I was in the wrong for being upset that I waited 2 hours without warning. Let's do better...

wait is extremely long, very expensive. not worth it at all. terrible service. Will waste your time and money
