"This Decatur spot serves brunch and dinner items. But unlike its sister restaurant Apt4B, Ms. Icey's menu narrows the focus on Jamaican foods." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Sim Walker didn’t come to Atlanta from New York City to play games with cuisine from the African diaspora. He’s been on a successful run with Negril Village in Midtown on North Avenue, and APT 4B on Peachtree. But it’s the food prepared at Ms. Icey’s (the Decatur restaurant named for his grandmother) that soothes the creative soul. There’s a recognizable twist of Caribbean flavor in many of the dishes here, from the jerk salmon to the hefty seafood creole with shrimp, crawfish, chicken sausage, and salmon. Expect a little modern-day shenanigans on the menu, too, including the Thai chili “strip club wings”." - Mike Jordan, Eater Staff
"While it’s on the appetizer section of the menu, this sweet, cake-like cornbread is damn-near a dessert. It comes fresh from the oven in a skillet topped with a scoop of butter and a blueberry compote." - jacinta howard, nina reeder, juli horsford
"With so much good food coming out of this Decatur shopping center, it’s hard to split your loyalties. But if you’re hungry for a sceney mood with an excellent meal, Ms. Icey’s is the place. Much like their sister restaurant Apt 4B, a DJ booth near the entrance keeps the joint energized with clubby tunes. Every inch of the space–from the tropical-looking patio to the high-top tables around the bar—fills in with groups thirsty for party vibes with their sorrel mimosas. Unlike 4B, Ms. Icey’s menu narrows the focus on Jamaican foods. The tasty ackee and saltfish gives what it’s supposed to give, though the meager serving leaves you wanting more. Just order a flaky beef patty and the spiced, smoky mac & cheese starters, and you’ll be set." - Nina Reeder
"After closing three months ago to revamp the menu and interiors, the popular Southern-Caribbean restaurant known for its buzzy weekend brunches reopens March 17 on Clairmont Road. Expect new dishes here, including red snapper prepared three ways: escovitch-style; roasted; or steamed; curry goat and chicken; jerk steak and jerk pork chops; and ackee and saltfish. In addition to new dishes on the menu, Ms. Icey’s now offers several martinis and frozen drinks from the bar." - Beth McKibben
