I haven't been to this spot in over 20 years. Talk about nostalgia when I stopped by. As soon as I stepped out the car, the air smelled amazing. Once I walked inside, even more so!. This soul food spot is a hidden gem in Stockbridge, Ga. The fried catfish was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, with just the right seasoning. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and cheesy—true comfort food. And the cabbage was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite tasted homemade, and you could feel the love in every dish. Can't wait to come back and try more! This spot has definitely been added to the rotation. Highly recommend!

I've known the owners long before this business venture, and their warm kindred spirits use love as the main ingredient to make delicious comforting meals that fill the appetite for a good home-cooked meal.

I came here for the first time because one of my coworkers own this restaurant. The food is really good. I ordered the jerk chicken, which was delicious. I’m definitely coming back here again. this place was clean, neat and tidy

Loved this cafe! (Lots of orders, so the wait was LONG!) Good was prepared fresh and very flavorful! ( We carried out.: jerk chicken, meat loaf and baked chicken. Sides lima bean, mac, rice, yams (all delish) The café has a nice relaxed vibe. The only concern was it was 90 degrees outside and about 80 degrees inside. Fans running. Not sure if AC worked. Everyone was friendly and very a very clean space! I highly recommend!!

I visited Green Front Café today, as I wanted to support a Main Street business in Stockbridge, and I’m still thinking about how amazing everything was! From the moment I walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The food? Absolutely incredible – every bite was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the love and care that went into each dish. This place is a gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where great food and genuine hospitality come together beautifully!

This is a hidden gem that I’ve wanted to try for awhile. So I decided to shoot my shot and very glad that I did. It is an historic place as the owner explained to me and they do not take any shortcuts when it comes to the food. My fried chicken was freshly made. The collard greens were some of the best I’ve had and the mac & cheese was on point. Service was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. The prices are also very good for the quality that you will receive. I highly recommend dining here!

We came in from a local referral, who has been coming here for generations. This historic soul food resturant in Stockbridge still has its southern charm. The staff was warm and welcoming and the food was good! I went there with my family and we tried it all- unfortunately- no Mac n Cheese on my Saturday afternoon visit (3pm) But my vegetarian wife got the Veggie Burger. Me and the kids got various chicken dishes. I got Jerk Chicken with rice n peas and yams. The boys got fried chicken and 10 piece Hot Honey Lemon Pepper wings. We will be back- hopefully before the Mac n Cheese sells out!
