Bantam + Biddy

Hadn’t been in years until today and it was just as delicious as I remember. The food was hot, fresh and amazing. The service was perfectly timed and very friendly. Overall a lovely experience ♥️

Several folks told me about this restaurant so figured I'd go try it for myself. They're open from morning to night but I decided to dine in for brunch. They're in a strip mall so there is plenty of free parking in a huge lot. The interior is decent, tons of decorations and a TV or 2 for watching. Plenty of seating inside and outside so unless they're super packed, wait time should be fairly minimal. Drinks this visit were the Apple Zing and Blue Corn Antioxidant Tea. 1st is a fresh juice consisting primarily of apple juice, carrot juice, and ginger. Tea tasted like the base was apple cider with some additions, including fresh cut apples and pineapples added in. Very delicious beverages! For the food, we got an order of 3 buttermilk pancakes. They're nice and fluffy but not so much so that it can't be held together on a fork. This is how I prefer my pancakes mostly. The only thing you can do better is put that crisp on the outer ring but most restaurants are not pulling that off. The 2nd order of pancakes were gluten free and are actually a part of their Southern Deluxe dish and had berries cooked in. The dish itself comes with grits, eggs cooked to your preference, bacon, fried okra, and cornbread. All of it was on point. The only thing some may be put off on is how you like your cornbread. It only has a subtle sweet taste but not overpowering so try it if that's your vibe. Last dish was the breakfast tacos with pork sausage and extra spice requested. Besides the sausage, it comes with eggs, pico de gallo, cheese, green salsa on the side, and some red dust (probably a pepper grinded to dust but I'm not entirely sure) if you request spicy. The dust, whatever it is, adds spice and only spice. It did not taste like a seasoning at all and didn't add to the flavor but did accomplish the spice I requested. All in all, this place has great breakfast/brunch and is very reasonably priced for what you get. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu at some point. Stop by and give them a try if any of this is up your alley!

The eggs are AMAZING! The staff told me they work with a local black owned farm called Local Lands that even has a store in Ellenwood. Love that they are so connected with the community and their farmers. It shows in the food. The staff is super kind and not overbearing. Love this place for an evening time breakfast food fix 😂

Was visiting in Georgia and decided that I wanted to treat myself to a Gluten Free meal. From what I understand everything on their menu is Gluten Free!!! The staff was very warm and welcoming. I got a kick out of their bathroom signs😂🤣. I decided to get the chicken and waffles with broccoli casserole and my daughter (only I have food allergies) got chicken finger/tenders and fries with macaroni and cheese. She was not impressed with the Mac and cheese... basically penne pasta with a dripping cheese sauce. The chicken was not that flavorful but the waffle was wonderful! So thick but crisp like a Belgian Waffle 😍😍😍. The Broccoli Casserole was pretty good too. When I am in the ATL area I definitely will visit again. They had some delicious desserts I need to try too!😉

Love the amount of gluten free selections, especially southern style. GF fried green tomatoes, GF fried chicken, GF waffles and pancakes! What a gem for anyone with gluten free allergies!! The only bummer is for those who are GF and dairy free, their batters for waffles and pancakes have milk, so unfortunately that’s a limiting factor. Not sure why they can’t just use a milk substitute in the batter. The chicken tenders were incredible! I put the wasabi honey on the side and didn’t like that. But their honey mustard is delicious! Also enjoyed the fried Brussel Sprouts!! I was too full to eat the candied yams but will have that later. The GF cornbread is also nice. $18 for the chicken + 2 sides + cornbread; in Atl, I don’t think it’s too overpriced. There was so much to choose from, I’ll have to come back! My friend enjoyed the chicken Brunswick stew and the GF fried green tomatoes! The one dish we didn’t like here was the chicken pimento cheese sandwich/ perhaps because we came at dinner on that visit - but it seemed like the biscuit had been sitting on a hot plate since morning - very dry, overheated, not great. We wouldn’t recommend that item. Only 2 bathrooms - had to wait a bit for one to come available.

Second visit: I wish I could actually review the food at this restaurant again, but after my gf and I were seated, we sat at our table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge our existence. Nobody did, so we got up and left. First visit's review got overwritten, but everything was great.

Definitely a cozy little spot. The bartender/server(Paul) and my server(Eduardo ), are so nice. I’m currently present and still eating lol. Definitely should give it a try. It’s southern based dishes and my drink is so good!

While the food is aesthetically pleasing and the restaurant is cozy and well-lit, nothing destroys an experience worse than finding hair in your food. Upon arrival, there were areas available, but they decided to place us next to the back door of the restaurant and that proved to be the ultimate nuisance. I wasn't overly crazy about the service either. The waiter took a while to collect our drink order and food order, and didn't check in on us. When I discovered hair in my food, the apology didn't seem sincere. I can't say it was the friendliest restaurant I've been to, despite how friendly they seemed to the other patrons. We felt out of place and those who understand what I mean, know what I mean.
