The only positive thing that I can say about this catering experience was that the woman who eventually delivered the food was very professional, helpful, and kind. The owner however, should be ashamed of himself. We placed an order that was over $300 for a surprise breakfast for a member of our staff. It was supposed to be delivered at 830am. My assistant called that morning to ensure that her delivery order was on track, and they assured her that it was. At 850 we called again and once we were able to get a person and not a voicemail, the owner said he thought it was a pickup order and that it was on its way. Annoying, but no problem. Mistakes happen. I called again 20 minutes later. He assured me that the food would be hot and it was on its way. It turns out that the driver got lost and went to the wrong location after inadvertently putting the incorrect address in the gps. The food eventually arrived over an hour late. The staff member who the surprise was a for arrived before that because we couldn't stall her anymore. The food was not cold, but it was DEFINITELY not hot. The owner sent a text offering a 10% discount on a future order. Unacceptable. I called to speak with him about it and I am still disgusted about how completely unprofessional he was. He first tried to blame Uber Eats, until realizing that he had me confused with another client. (Which he would have known if he wouldn't have cut me off while I was attempting to speak.) He was rude and disrespectful throughout and flat out said I was lying about the temperature of the food because it was on heaters. I asked him to show the same respect to me as I was showing him, but he then started yelling and asking me what I wanted. At that point, I told him to forget it and we will just consider it a learning experience. It does not matter how good your food is if you cannot show more grace and understanding for your customers that what that man exhibited today. Particularly when WE DID NOTHING WRONG. I have NEVER been spoken to that way by any business owner. I highly recommend that you avoid this place at all costs. Unbelievable.

Prior to stepping foot into this establishment I was really looking forward to tasting the food. I heard over the radio how amazing the options were and also read a few of the reviews on google so my expectations were set high. I was a little surprised to see it was "buffet" style but not an actual all you can eat buffet, which was fine since I was really looking forward to tasting the home cooked soul food. I ordered the fried chicken, hot wings, and collard greens. Unfortunately, the wings were pretty bad. They tasted old and meat wasn't good. My friend ordered the smothered pork chop and cabbage. She too did not enjoy her meal. She said it was pretty repulsive. I honestly don't usually try and ask for a refund for food because I understand people put time, money, and effort into something they hope will make people happy. It was just that bad. When we tried to ask the cashier if a refund was possible she responded very rudely. She said a refund was not an option. She actually continued to "bad mouth" us with another customer at the counter. Proceeded to say "you can't try and get a refund once you've eaten all the food". Not sure if she could see what we had ate but it literally was 2 bites. I didn't even touch the corn bread. I ate 1 wing and a bite of the greens. She was EXTREMELY unprofessional. I understand she is young and maybe doesn't have a lot of training. Granted, it's not a 5 star restaurant however I too am a business owner, and you treat your business as if it is 5 star no matter what because that is your reputation. Luckily, one of the cooks behind the buffet line saw the interaction and came to deescalate the issue. He was very professional and apologetic and offered us to try something else perhaps that we would like more. I unfortunately, did not get his name but he would be the only reason I would give Kenleys another chance. If you are going to sell subpar food you want to at least offer above par customer service. You can't sell both. Bad service and bad food don't mix well.

This is a small cafeteria style restaurant where you place your food order and then after you get your food you walk to the register to pay. The process of placing my order was very unorganized, they didn't write my order down and after watching 4 other people who arrived after me receive their order i walked back up to the counter to find out they hadnt even began to make my order. Once i got my food the experience went further down hill. i order fried tilapia, mac n cheese, collard greens with corn bread. the sides were TERRIBLE. If a soul food place cannot manage to get mac n cheese,collard greens, nor cornbread right they need to change their specialty. I will never return to this place, this is $8 i wish i could get back.

The butter croissant has absolutely no butter on it and it tastes like paper. If you make eye contact with the butter croissant it crumbles apart into powder. The salmon croissant in the picture below... nevermind. The toast is more like a Nerf football than food. The cheese omelette didn't actually have cheese on it but it has some yellow nasty ooze inside it. The hash browns looked and tasted like something that was pre-packaged and pre-frozen about a year ago. Everything was cold when I received it from DoorDash and they were very quick... The food was not even lukewarm just plain cold and it's warm outside today.

This place use to be really good but the consistency and quality has fallen off sharply over the laat couple years. I went today, probably for the last time. The reason for my culinary exodus is the chicken tenders. They use to be handmade works of art. They were the best, golden brown and crispy. They were breaded and fried in a way that created concentric rings of flavor. Today they sold me deep fried, premade turds off of any old Sysco truck. The original chicken tenders would roll over in their basket if they could see the state of this once great resturant. It is still food, but it now has no soul. :(

Can't say enough about the food and atmosphere. The history. The service.

I was not pleased with this place, at least not for breakfast. I was under the impression it was a buffet because it said buffet on the menu. Their buffet is just because it is in buffet dishes. I got a chicken biscuit and hashbrown, but it tasted like they used old grease. I may go back just to see how their lunch is, but i am not sure yet. I don't like wasting my money.

We stopped in here for breakfast with family before heading home today. I had the breakfast combo with cheese grits, bacon, biscuit, and 2 eggs over easy. Perfect way to start the day. It was also incredibly interesting looking at all of the photos of all of the celebrities that have stopped in at Kenley’s. The staff was great and the prices were great. I’d like to stop in here for lunch sometime as well.

DON'T LET THE RADIO COMMERCIAL FOOL YOU!!! It's not a buffet, not all you can eat. It's buffet "style", food sits out, you pick what you want, they make your plate, you walk across the room to pay. This is not soul food... it's canned, poorly seasoned, over cooked. Paula Dean's restaurant in Savannah tastes waaay better. A white lady out cooked this black establishment, come on! When we decided to trash our food and get a refund, the cashier started bad mouthing us to other customers. GHETTO! Never again.

Recently had their food at a party and it was not good at all. Dressing was just stove top stuffing dry and not gravy was offered. The BBQ chicken was so spicy all the guest complained. The Mac and cheese was like Stouffer’s Mac and cheese just in a different pan. We ended up throwing a whole pan of peach cobbler away because it was just nasty. Everyone felt it was missing a key ingredient. I will say that the cabbage was good however for what we paid this is just unacceptable.

The food that you want & need is at Kenley Wallers Sandwich & Catering shop. Oh my God! I got everything. Fried & Lemon pepper chicken wings, Yams, Collards, Lima beans, dressing w cranberry sauce. Thanksgiving dinner orders were already sold out. Tucked away in a building near corners of Auburn, 75 Piedmont & Heaven you can"t miss it. And yes food Angels including Kenley Waller himself were there preparing the food. It was all Super delicious as I dreamed it would be!

Good home cooked food. Lawd yes! Everything I’ve tried from Kenley’s taste like somebody’s fussing, loving crazy Auntie cooked it. The place is small and unassuming so anyone would feel comfortable there. I can go on all day but my advice is just try it. Today I went with salmon, Mac and cheese, collards, dressing and cranberry sauce. The salmon was a tiny bit dry but still good. Everything else was BANGIN!

Finding the place is a little hard. You need to park in a paid area and then walk in the building. It is a very tight place with maybe 10 tables. I was kind of hesitant to go at first. We ordered the daily special of one meat and two sides with a drink. I believe it was around $7. The food is great! There are so many choices. If I am ever in Atlanta again, I will go back.

Turkey Sausage and Cheese Eggs for breakfast...Awesome! Sausage was not overcooked so it kept the flavor and was juicy! They had a 2pc mixed with bread for $2.50 today (5/14/2018)...Awesome! Thigh and wing for $2.50 in downtown Atlanta...You are not going to get that deal anywhere. To top it off, the chicken was hot, juicy and flavorful.

Beautiful little peice of heaven. Great food! I had the bbq chicken, macncheese, and black eyed peas. The staff was happy and friendly. It was neat seeing all the celebrity photos!

I absolutely love Kenley's! I get their breakfast quite frequently and I am never disappointed. I have ordered their catering on 2 different occasions and the lunch selection was delicious as well. They definitely treat you like family. Good ole southern cooking at a reasonable price!

I don't even want to give them the star, but that's the only way to write a review. Today is my sister's birthday, her husband surprised her with dinner and we are all MORTIFIED!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS DISGUSTING!!!! THE TOTAL WAS $131.77!!!! I cannot believe how terrible the food was!!!

Kenleys catered my babyshower. The food was awesome. I went with the breakfast. They were very professional, friendly and they arrived before scheduled time. They set everything up for me, everything looked neat, delicious and presentable. I would definitely recommend them.

The baked chicken and collard greens are top TIER. I live having the option of combo deals, especially being a college student. I will be back

Great classic southern cooking. Lived the collards and black-eyed peas. The fish was so fresh and perfectly prepared. The staff was very welcoming and delightful. It is small with memorabilia covering the walls. Not charming but all around a very pleasant experience. More

The food is delicious! If you haven't been before, it's cafeteria style serving (meaning you Place order, pay, then eat once good arrives) not really a "restaurant" more of a cafe/diner feel about it. Nonetheless, it's worth checking out if you want a great meal.

Great soul food restaurant, with a southern vibe located in downtown Atlanta! Oh and stop by in the morning for breakfast, the breakfast combo with the grits are my favorite!

I order the Philly steak. It's delicious and at a nice price too! If you order food off the menu and not the food sitting out, it was always served fresh. I just wish they were open longer.

It's easy to pop in this spot get what you need and something good at that and get on your way. I just had a piece of fried chicken a biscuit with gravy I'm happy

First time trying it today and the food is amazing. I got a veggie plate. The food was fresh and the service was quick. I will be going back at least once a week.

Great food and atmosphere, an archive of historical achievements I'm just fascinated with this photos!!

You wait a long time for your food. Worth the wait for the wings but took a very long time and no one was in there. People after us got their food before ours.

Taste like my Granny cooked the Collard greens and cornbread.(that's major) I just wish they were opened later and on weekends. Will definitely be back.

One of the best soul food in the area. Employees are friendly and helpful.
