What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ We weren't super hungry, but I did get an order of fried green tomatoes . It also had collard green chow chow, which was different than your typical chow chow. The collard green style was more pickled, and a vinegar background to it rather than the traditional relish style. The waitstaff was kind, fast and friendly. ”
“ If you’re flying through ATL and craving something soulful before takeoff, Chicken + Beer is a must. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich and it was everything you want in airport comfort food—crispy, juicy, and served hot with just the right kick. The flavors felt like a little Southern hug before boarding . Shay, our waitress, was the real MVP. I watched her navigate multiple tables with ease, moving through the busy lunch rush. She brought warmth, attentiveness, and a calm confidence that made the whole experience feel personal. Even with the airport buzz, she made time to check in, offer a genuine smile, and make sure everything landed just right. The vibe? Southern soul meets modern cool. Ludacris and Jackmont Hospitality really nailed the concept. Whether you’re grabbing a bite solo or kicking off a trip with your crew, Chicken + Beer sets the tone. ”
“ As far as "airport food" goes, this place is pretty dang good. I ordered the fired chicken, with the Atlanta hot sauce and it was fantastic. The beer selection is quite impressive as well. I'll be back at this place when I am in terminal D at ATL. The prices don't break the bank, which is a plus. ”
“ Love the food! I had the pleasure of meeting the chef himself. He takes pride in what he does and you can taste it. My server was also amazing! She made some great suggestions and was so friendly! ”
“ Food was really good! I eat here every other time that I am at the airport, (I travel a lot for work) so about twice a month. Chicken is really food with collards and candied yams. Service is good, no complaints ”
