Phat Phish Cafe — Restaurant in Atlanta

Phat Phish is phine. Their food is good but not special. Otherwise I would probably rate it higher. The reason for 3 stars is they don't answer the phone. I only live 1/4 mile away. It's very walkable for me. Today I tried calling ahead to put in an order so I wouldn't have to wait around in the restaurant. I called 5 times. All 5 times it would ring until going to voicemail saying the mailbox was full. I went ahead and walked there to see if maybe they weren't open. To my surprise they were open and had no customers there. I told the cashier I tried to call ahead and got no answer. Her response was to just stare at me. I proceeded to place my order with her while she was holding the business phone. It rang 3 times and she set the phone down. I don't see this preventing me from patronizing them in the future simply because of convenience. If this place was beyond walking distance I would not order there as they don't bother answering the phone for call-in orders. They are also on DoorDash which would allow you to order ahead but with the addition of convenience fees. I'm pretty sure that's why they don't...

We decided to give Phat Phish a try after the sorry American Deli on Moreland said "grill is closed" at 7:30 for the last time. I should have been coming to Phat Phish all along! They were great! The staff was very friendly, the food was ready quickly, especially for how busy they were. And most importantly, the cheesesteaks were delicious! Lots of meat and toppings, and everything was hot and fresh.

I would have given them five stars, but the store could use a little love. It's a bit dirty and there is a large, weird appliance in the front area. Maybe a water heater of some sort, but it's dirty and shouldn't be out front. Plus the soda fountain was broken, so I couldn't get any drinks that I wanted.

Even so, we were very satisfied and will definitely be coming...

Small place. Very quiet, usually. Has its moments where there's a queue. I've had fried rice and chicken wings, and philly cheese steak with chips [fries] and more wings. Because chicken wings are God's way of saying "I love you, little mortal." I will not deny God's love. I will eat chicken wings every chance I get. And although these wings in particular are a bit salty, they are still crispy and flavourful. The staff vary between polite and cordial, which I prefer. No chatty chipper crap. Order your food, pay up, get your food, go away. The prices are reasonable and it's worth the short wait at the wonky tables to walk out with a sack or two of...
