"Consider dinner at Eats on Ponce De Leon Avenue, where a large lasagna plate costs just $6.50. It’s a delicious meal."

question----owners are two women? originally from SFO Clemente ST---Remember Late 80s Eats disappeard from the sfo scene , moved to Atl and eats opened on Ponce with I was told owners that came from the Bay Area

Love almost everything about the place! Great food , wonderful price!
try never to miss it when I'm in the neighborhood, my kids and Grandkids like it also.

Sssshhhh.... don't tell but.....
I have to frequent the ATL often during my daily travels at work. I always allotted enough time so that I could sneak into this restaurant at least once or twice a month.


Always a friendly atmosphere. Sometimes you can catch the owner out back catching a breath. Very friendly gent he is. Just don't block his dumpster. Sorry guy... had to throw that in. Located across from the old City Hall East Building in a small block bldg. with simply the word "Eats" on the side. Parking is very tricky around lunch hour so come early or you can park in a nearby lot approx 2 blocks away. Inside you will find a simple arrangement of tables very closely spaced. They offer two lines of menu in which you order at the counter. Service is speedy and uncomplicated. Prices are unbeatable.


One line offers pasta. Any kind of pasta (even spinach) with your choice of sauce. From what I hear it is wonderful. I always choose the other line which offers your choice of very spicy jerk chicken, meatloaf and a few other meats. The choices of veggies are black beans, collards, mac&cheese, sweet potato and a few others. The cornbread has just the right amount of sweetness (not too much/not too little). Lemonade, sweet & unsweet tea and your choice of fountain drink is available. They do have a dessert menu but I can't recall it because I am usually too full to get it.


The menu of my choice that I rushed all four lanes of traffic for is none other than the jerk chicken, black beans and cornbread. And if this isn't enough to please the senses the crowd always is :).
Thank you Don for introducing me to this wonderful place :)

For 7 and change, eat good and get full. Simple menu...pasta/sauce selection on one side meat and veggies the other. The jerk chicken claims to be the best in Atlanta...cant say that, but its pretty good. The sweet potatoes and greens are usually good. And contrary to a previous review, if you know anything about cornbread...the cornbread here is the real deal.

This has been a spot I frequently have gone to for many years. It's been in the East Atlanta - Midtown area for as long as I can remember. The building is located from the old City Hall East building. The parking accommodations can be a bit challenging as it can be a pain to locate a decent space.


My favorite dish is the jerk chicken. I usually include the baked sweet potato and collard greens as my side. The baked sweet potato is average but not terrible and the collards are pretty decent. The jerk chicken is pretty flavorful and the chicken isn't dry or bland. The meat is tender and effortless to ingest. It's not fine dining but it's pretty damn good for what you get.


The pasta section has about 9 different combination's whereby you can mix and match. The portions are generous and you will either leave with a doggy bag or ditching the rest. The pasta can be overcooked at times so beware.


You definitely get the bang for the buck here and won't leave hungry. My personal recommendation would be the jerk chicken. You won't be disappointed. Just stay away from the unimpressive sides of corn bread or macaroni and cheese.
