Certain foods get better the closer you get to their natural habitat. Soul food’s natural habitat is the South. Atlanta is home to a number of great restaurants that on focus on producing delivering great tasting classic made with obvious amounts of love. K & K Soul Food is exactly that type of restaurant. To be fair, K & K is not in the a very good neighborhood, and ordering your food through security glass is not for everyone but it is for me.

Lots of pictures after the jump.
Every item I had was as delicious as they look here. Of course you couldn’t eat this food every day but when you’re looking for that classic soul food that just takes GOOD, this is what I think of. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned, the collards meaty with a ting of bitterness, the potatoes smooth, and the mac and cheese was every bit as cheesy and gooey as it should be. The plate benefited from a liberal application of hot sauce but the again most plates with fried chicken will. It would have been an abomination if I drank anything but sweet tea with my meal; rest assured it was perfectly sweet and cold.
K & K isn’t the only soul food restaurant in Atlanta but definitely is one of the best. It might be an adventure for some but all will find it worth while to make a trip to Atlanta’s Bankhead neighborhood. K & K will not disappoint but plan ahead; you eat too much.
