Blackbird Atlanta

This place was amazing!!! The chicken and waffles were perfect in seasoning and texture as well as the drinks, tasty and not to expensive. Over all an amazing breakfast place to hit up right before the aquarium!!!!!

We had an excellent brunch! Great food and equally as good and friendly service. We had the french toast and grits with sausage—both were excellent.

I went to Black Bird ATLANTA for the first time tonight for a spoken word poetry open mic event hosted by Queen Sheba. I made my special table reservation on their website after calling in and feeling welcomed by the hostess on the phone. Parking across the street was free and plenty. When I walked in, I was greeted as if I were a family I was seated at a special table that matched my requests. Chef came out and greeted me Chef ‍Matthew asked what I wanted to eat I said I was vegan and he told me he’d like to make me something special I loved the idea! He asked me which vegetables I loved and went away. When he came back, he had a plate of delicious, made in house, vegan pasta loaded with my favorite veggies AND GARLIC, which I loooove! When Queen Sheba arrived to host the event, she looked at my food and ordered the same thing it was so good! I think everyone must come here to simply experience Chef Matthew’s cooking and his unique friendly personality. He’s very humble. Now, let’s talk about the open mic poetry itself, which was why I was there. Disclosure: I was very scared. Really! Sharing my spoken word at an open mic night is a new thing and I’m shy. But I was welcomed and felt at home right away! People from Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Toronto, and Russia shared their spoken word poetry and I now feel encouraged to come back! I shared FOUR POEMS tonight It’s an awesome place! Is it next Sunday yet? Sunday nights are for spoken word poetry open mic here at Black Bird Atl!

I had the best brunch at Blackbird. We shared several entrees and all of the food was delicious and large portions. We had the smoked salmon, chicken florentine, soufflé, and the cheesecake waffles. The staff was attentive and the restaurant was busy. The restaurant is great! I plan to return soon.

All I can say about this place is wow! We would have never gone into this location if it wasn't for their server Jared. We came into town Friday and happen to walk by the restaurant while Jared was outside handing out menus. We promised we would be back Saturday to eat dinner. Thinking they opened at 4 for dinner we showed up and even though they didn't open till 5, they went ahead and served us. We had the pork belly, as well as scallops 3 ways for starters, it was amazing. For the entree I ordered the rabbit, wife ordered the pollo saporito and my son ordered the trout. My son took one bite of my rabbit dish and had to have it instead of his trout. First time he had ever tried it. I was able to try the rabbit and it was tender and flavorful. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned. For dessert, we had the apple caramel cheesecake which was like an apple pie and cheesecake in one. My wife had the banana poke cake. Both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, Chef Matthew sat down with us where he shared his culinary background. An amazing story and a lot of vision from such a young chef. He is going to go Far and will definitely be a great influence in downtown Atlanta. We will be back tomorrow for brunch and dinner. The staff from his line chef and servers were the best I had ever had. Can't wait to be back tomorrow.
