We were only in town for 4 days/3 nights and managed to eat here every night. The food was phenomenal. The service too, even with the line out of the door. We tried the fried chicken, catfish and Cajun grilled shrimp first. Came back for the smother pork chops and turkey wing. And today had to hit the brisket before our flight tomorrow. So so good. The hoe cakes were probably my fav but the cabbage and mac definitely get an honorable mention. And can’t forget the strawberry banana pudding! Highly recommend!

This is, without a doubt, the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever left. We are visiting from Michigan for the weekend and decided to try Lickety Split on a whim. Have you ever walked into a restaurant and knew the second you walked in that you were about to have the best meal of your life? Well, that was me walking into Lickety Split. From the second we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The menu was a bit intimidating, but we ended up ordering a little bit of everything, and I’m glad we did. I’m not exaggerating when i say nothing on our order was anything less than top notch. It was a meal I’m probably going to think about for a long time, and honestly is making me kind of think about moving to Atlanta. Maybe I’ve had better meals before, but as i type, I’m having a hard time thinking of when. I also want to shout out our server, Yolanda (Yolanda, I’m so sorry if I’m misspelling your name, but I think i tossed my receipt by accident before i could write my review), was patient with us while we looked over the menu and made sure all of our questions were answered. This is without a doubt my new favorite restaurant, and I’m going to have to start looking for excuses to head down to Atlanta to visit. Thanks for a wonderful experience - hoping we can make it back before we head home to try the dessert menu!

Stopped here to eat while at a conference near the airport. Hands down the best chicken wings I have ever eaten. The hot honey lemon pepper was absolutely amazing. All of the food was delicious, but the chicken wings were the shining star of our meal.

Everything was good. Only reason I didn't give 5 is because ion think its great value. But that's ok. We had ribs, mac, yams. And fried catfish, greens, and cabbage. Again ALL the food was good. With delicious red velvet and an okay (not great) sweet potatoe pie the total was $67 bucks. Also they charge 10% on carry out. I don't like it, but I understand.

I've only ordered from GrubHub, but these people are awesome. They always call if there's an issue or they're out of something, and the dude who calls is so sweet. Food is always good and prices are reasonable. Will order again. Forgot to photograph my plate. Will next time. EDIT: Ordered again and added photo. This was the brisket slider plate. Good as usual.

This place is the BOMB. Soul food & BAR in one place!! Our Waiter Aaron gave such great recommendations and everything suggested was so good. Ribs, Brisket Sliders, Smothered pork chop were so GOOD ! Everyone in the restaurant was checking out what the other tables ordered and everything was great. They also have a patio that welcomes dogs. All they are missing is a happy hour and they would see me every week. The food was so authentic we wanted to kiss the chef!!
