Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Southern restaurants around Atlanta, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to venture next time you're on the hunt.
1. Eats
Topping the list is Eats. Located at 600 Ponce De Leon Ave. NE in Midtown, the New American, Italian and Caribbean spot is the highest-rated cheap Southern restaurant in Atlanta, boasting four stars out of 535 reviews on Yelp.
"Named 'Best Cheap Eats' by Creative Loafing 10 times since its inception in 1993...Eats has grown into a local favorite known for its big portions at affordable prices, friendly staff and casual atmosphere," states the business's Yelp profile.
The menu features a mix of healthy foods and homestyle Southern staples, such as barbecue chicken, turkey meatloaf and jerk tilapia. Catering services are also available.
2. Holler & Dash Biscuit House
Next up is Home Park's Holler & Dash Biscuit House, situated at 1085 Howell Mill Road. With four stars out of 387 reviews on Yelp, the casual Southern spot has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a cheap option. Biscuit breakfast sandwiches are the highlight here, and the menu features other comfort foods like egg scrambles, yogurt parfaits, grain bowls and beignets.
Yelper Jessie M. wrote, "I love this place! I've only tried the Kickback Chicken so far--goat cheese, green onions and pepper jelly on chicken and a biscuit--but it was absolutely delicious. I also had a side of grits, which were equally tasty."
3. K & K Soul Food
The English Avenue's K & K Soul Food, located at 881 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the low-priced Southern spot, which offers soul food and more, four stars out of 89 reviews. Look for classic Southern entrees like pork chops, oxtails and fried chicken, as well as sides like macaroni and cheese, boiled okra and collard greens, on the menu.

4. Q-Time
Q-Time, a Southern restaurant that offers soul food and more in the West End, is another cheap go-to, with four stars out of 85 Yelp reviews. In addition to a full-service breakfast buffet, the Southern spot serves regional staples like baked chicken, ribs, turkey wings and fried pork chops.
