You hear Bodega, and being from NY, if you know, you know. I was super excited to support the Bodega. It is in a store front but that is not always bad. In this case, it was ok. The service was good. We did have to wait fifty minutes for out two meals. I'm not sure why since, it was not packed at all. There were three other people waiting, my husband and me. I figured they had to make everything from scratch to include the bread. My husband ordered the catfish and grits, and I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The pictures will tell you what I missed. I am not sure what kind of breading was used on the catfish. It looked and tasted like old batter and maybe it was refried. In the pictures, you will see some of the catfish looks different. The grits were ok. The presentation of my s

Craig & His Wife Monica created an amazing experience to develop food that’s super flavorful while not being overpriced. A lot of restaurants charge you a lot for less portions but The City Bodega is generous. Brunch all day day & fresh ingredients. The food is consistently cooked to perfection. I’ve had the Turkey Club & The pancake Platter. By the way the grits are crazy good which is actually hard to find despite being in the south. 10 out of 10. 👌🏾

If you’re from NY and want a taste of home, come here. The food is a 10/10. Owned and operated by real New Yorkers. The food is fresh. The chopped cheese was bussin. The fries were crispy on outside, soft on the inside, and well seasoned. It came with a can of soda. I spent $13.77 total.

This was my first time visiting this establishment. I woke up wanting a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, knowing Bodegas are not common in Georgia, I searched online for restaurants that made this sandwich and found this store. The sandwich was good and filling. The guys working in the store was nice and friendly. The wait for the food wasn’t quick but it wasn’t long; it’s worth the wait. I could tell the food was good because the store was packed and the orders kept coming. I will definitely visit again and order something different. I’m a big supporter of small businesses especially when the focus is the client experience. Check them out, give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for my sandwich it was delicious!!!

Phenomenal! I got “The Charleston” , which is shrimp and grits and my wife got the biscuits and gravy plate called “Southern Thang” oh and we also got a side of French toast. Everything was five stars.! Hot fresh and delicious. Quite frankly, the best shrimp grits I’ve ever had. Their creole sauce takes it to a whole nother level. Monica Craig and Chris took great care of us! This is a must try for anyone who wants breakfast brunch or lunch. Support local businesses!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
