Georgia's Restaurant

I tried the Long Beach location because I’ve always had good food from the Anaheim restaurant. The food at this place is nowhere near as tasty as the food from the Anaheim location. I had the fried chicken (bland), greens (bland), mac and cheese (just sad), and yams (starchy). The same meal I order every time. Even a ton of hot sauce couldn’t save this meal. Soul food/southern food should have flavor! It’s telling when you don’t smell anything cooking when you walk in. It’s a shame because I really want to support Georgia’s. After reading other reviews, this seems on par for this location. I’ll stick to the Anaheim location.

I have been looking forward to eating here for a long time. I ordered the fried chicken with a side of mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and added coleslaw for a total of $28.00. The chicken was extremely dry, the crust was overdone and lacked in flavor. I have never had mashed potatoes that won’t break apart because they were so dry and overcooked. The Mac n cheese, although dry, was delish. The coleslaw could’ve been great, but it was also very dry. On the upside with no notes: The customer service was outstanding. Overall disappointing, truthfully the only thing I ate was the mac & cheese, everything else got tossed.

George's soul food type place with great food. Free cornbread for all that walk through the door. The kids like to eat the chicken tenders Shrimp Box. I would recommend the Shrimp Po Boy gumbo and red beans and rice a nice way to end the meal is to eat the beignets. This place has New Orleans type vibes

My trip tip was tasty although I asked for medium and it was cooked all the way the muffins were good but my sides: the Cabbage and Yams were horrible. Im conflicted about the man n cheese. The yams tasted like they came out of a can and the cabbage seemed to only have some type of chili flavoring. Not tasty at all. The Mac n cheese noodles had perfect firmness but something was lacking. My daughter said her Blackened Catfish was good as well her red beans/rice and collars.

The catfish (non-greasy) and yams were excellent The red beans and rice were good and had a kick. Great option for food. Will return.

I’m giving this place three stars because I didn’t try everything, I guess’s I will leave more room to revisit again for a fair review. The first time that I went there, I tried the fried fish thinking it would be the actual fried fish Cajun Louisiana style. Well, it tasted different, tasted like store bought brand and the restaurant took it out from the freezer and fried it. I was not impressed at all. Maybe it is just the fish, not everything else. The fish tasted…hmmm…fake meat. I can’t put my finger on it.

10.18.24 I love how I can go anywhere and if I google restaurants, the mighty powerful Google search engine will show me what's available in the area. I decided on Georgia's Restaurant as I have not had soul food in ages. This is one of those restaurants where one orders from the board and is given a number, then food gets delivered/served at the table. The menu is clearly written, spacing of menu items is well done, and each of the menu options provides what's included or what sides to choose from. Customer service: I was behind two gentlemen, with the older one using the pay system. Kudos to the older gentleman as he did not give up finishing his transaction. The younger gentleman did not appear to help, possibly because he is very patient in waiting, even though I waited, and waited.... I decided to be patient, too. The receptionist who took the order was just as patient I thought. Thankfully there was just me behind waiting... Customer service is pretty good, especially the one who took my order and checked in on me at the table - great smile adds to overall experience. Atmosphere: Welcoming environment, pretty open inside and out, and clean tables. Menu: Yes, soul food definitely. I decided on the blacked catfish and I opted for grits and collard greens. I also ordered strawberry lemonade. A corn muffin with honey butter was served pretty quickly. It was pretty good. I probably should have asked for a lighter seasoning on the blackened catfish as it ended up to be a little strong for me but I ate it all - had to for the price. Pretty good if one likes really blackened catfish. I loved the grits. I could have had two servings of that. The collard greens were exactly how I remembered collard greens - a little bitter but it was good. I'm not certain about the overall price as it seems to be a bit pricey. The rent and location, prices nowadays, kitchen and customer service staff are probably justified.

We got the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, chicken tenders, Gretchen jambalaya Cajun fries, sweet potato fries, lemon Seabass, collard greens and Cajun rice. The servings were plentiful. It was all excellent so juicy and tender full of flavor. The sauces were bangin. It was all good. It was all delicious. We ate so much!!!
