Chef Rob's Cafe & Bar

My go to for Caribbean food in the Atlanta metro area hands down! I've been going, & ordering from Chef Rob's since the pandemic and the food is amazing every single time. The consistency is what I really appreciate. We all know some restaurants, the food will be good one day, then too salty or bad the next ... Chef Rob's is consistently good! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, as I've tried almost everything ... some of my personal favorites are the jerk wings, curry chicken, & the oxtail. For the sides, man that mac n cheese hits different! As we all know not everyone knows how to make good mac n cheese ... it's definitely an art & science to it & Chef Rob's has it down packed!!!

We decided to check out an oldie but goodie for Valentine's Day. Chef Rob's has been in this location for years and they're no longer a restaurant AND lounge but it still had great vibes. They offered a Valentine's Day menu for couples that was $125. It included 2 glasses of champagne, two salads, two entrees and share a dessert. We added the seafood dip as a starter. Everything was cooked to perfection and left plenty to take home. My sweetie wanted a veggie with his entree or switch mash for rice - no substitutions we were told. Also, no option for tap water - they offer $3 bottled water only. Hey, parking is free! Service was very attentive. We were offered two places to sit and we did move once a better table opened up. A live DJ started around 9 PM. There's lots of takeout activity but it didn't take away from the experience. I recommend anyone to try out Chef Rob's if you love Caribbean food - add it to your list.

Everything was so good from the appetizers to the food, nice chill vibe and ambiance inside. Service was also great which was a plus.

This review is strictly for the takeout experience and food. I cannot comment on the service because I did not dine in. Parking: there are two "takeout-only" designated parking spots right in front of the restaurant. It is located in a pretty busy strip mall/center, so the close spots reserved for takeout were very convenient. Food: Shrimp quesadilla - lots of veggies inside (mostly red onion, mushroom, and spinach). While they didn't go light on the shrimp, the shrimp are small size not large or jumbo. I'm not sure if you can ask for no veggies, so if you tend not to like those then I'd recommend skipping this entree. Both Entrees I tried were very good - I ordered a Curry Goat and Oxtail. Let's start with the oxtail. I know that serving size is usually an issue when ordering oxtail because some places try to give you 3-4 pieces that don't have a bunch of meat on them. Chef Rob's is NOT like most others - it was the most oxtail I've been served in a meal in a LONG time. My sides were Rice and Peas + plantain, so this meal is very filling and you probably will have leftovers. Between the two, I preferred the curry goat. I liked it so much, that I tried to eat it slowly so it would last longer :D. My chosen sides were Macaroni and Cheese and Collard Greens; such a tasty combination! Overall, I'd recommend Chef Rob's based on the food only. I plan to go back and try more things on the menu and possibly dine-in to get the full experience!

So I came for drinks, the last time I was there, so I cant really give a proper assessment of the food (I have to come back to that). But the drink and the bartender was good. The customer service that we were given was really good and the drinks were pretty decent as well! They have free parking, so that is not something to worry about (since it is OTP). Its in the middle of a strip mall, so there are plenty other places to go to, and its walking distance. Overall it is a good vibe. They have hookah, they have TVs, they have plenty of seating, its worth the stop in.
