Ol'Skool Flava
About This Spot
Walking into Ol'Skool Flava feels like stepping into a cherished home away from home, where the warmth of family cooking fills the air and the pace invites you to settle in and savor the moment. This cozy family restaurant, tucked just minutes from the bustle of Stone Mountain Park, offers an intimate yet lively setting where comfort takes center stage. The atmosphere hums with a friendly ease — a place where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the clatter from the kitchen, and every seat feels like a spot saved just for you.
Here, food is more than a meal; it’s a heartfelt connection to tradition and genuine care. The scent of slow-cooked oxtails mingling with spices, the golden-crisp of fried chicken, and the familiar sweetness of homemade sweet tea create a sensory welcome that feels both nostalgic and refreshing. The menu reflects a soulful celebration of home-cooked favorites, from vibrant garden salads to platters brimming with mojo-grilled shrimp and tender fish, all served with sides rooted in Southern plenty — think fried okra, creamy mashed potatoes, and tender greens.
What stands out is the quiet joy of a meal made with love, echoing the kind of food you might find at a family Sunday gathering. The generous portions and hearty flavors invite you to slow down and savor each bite, while the attentive, genuine service makes you feel instantly cared for, not just served. Whether you're drawn in by the promise of homestyle classics like meatloaf and banana pudding, or the thoughtful seafood plates, Ol'Skool Flava feels like a spot where every visit is a chance to reconnect with comfort and community.
Beyond the food, it’s a place where the little details — from the cleanliness of the space to the welcoming smiles behind the counter — create a space that feels approachable and sincere. For those looking to discover a local gem where the soul behind the cooking is as present as the flavors on the plate, Ol'Skool Flava quietly delivers a heartfelt dining experience that lingers long after the last bite.

This is best food I've had since I moved here from MS. Food was hot, delicious, and my plate was full. The prices are so reasonable. The oxtails were the bomb. The gravy was the bomb. And don't get me started on that cornbread! Whew. All in all I will be back. 11/10 would recommend!

FOOD WAS DELICIOUS !!! My first visit here. I ordered a large fried chicken meal. This food was so good it’s hard to describe, but it tastes like some of the best home cooked food I’ve ever had. It doesn’t taste like takeout at all, It tastes like home cooked!!!! The chicken was fresh and fried lovely, collard greens perfect and Mac and cheese perfect. Oh, cornbread perfect also. Portions were very generous. Food was not heavy and did not hurt my stomach, in fact, my body is thanking me for that meal. Clean establishment and friendly customer service. I should have pulled the wrapper back to show the amount of sides, but they are very generous portions. If you’re thinking about going here - GO!!!!! I will be returning!

Just coming from the mountain and my boyfriend and I were famished. Easter Sunday needed to involve a great meal so as we were heading home we noticed and saw Ol’ Skool Flava were open and decided to give them a try. Small Ma and Pa establishment located about 5 minutes from Stone Mountain park sitting diagonally across in a strip center from the German Pretzel place. Walking in, it’s clean and you’re nicely greeted by the staff. Being our first time we had questions about the menu and how things worked. Nothing went unanswered and ordering was simple. We grabbed a table and waited less than 20minutes for our meals to come out. While waiting, washed my hands in their CUSTOMER ONLY restroom which was clean. There is also a TV that you can watch while dining in. Let’s start with the pricing: very affordable and they give you your moneys worth! And we all know with how the economy is now that is very much appreciated!!! Portion sizes were great! You are definitely given enough to finish if you have a big appetite and leave full or have something to take home if you are the type to get full quicker. Sundays have a special menu and this Sunday we saw that Oxtails and rice was featured!! . You pick a Sunday item PLUS 2 sides, talk about FULL!! So I opted for the Ox tails and rice with Mac n Cheese and Mustard/Turnip greens . My boyfriend had the same but he opted for the Mac n Cheese and Potato Salad (long time family recipe) for his sides. We grabbed some beverages when our meals came out and that’s all she wrote lol. Y’all know the excitement of some good food when you start humming out of nowhere and doing a little dance in your seat . That was me!! About the food though: DELICIOUS , well seasoned. Greens were cooked right, tender and seasoned just right. I might get a double serving next time. I am a Mac n cheese connoisseur and the Mac was really good, creamy and had a good cheddar flavor. Ox tails were tail’n honey, falling off the bone smothered in a robust gravy on a bed of white rice. The meal does come with a roll so you can SOP up the juices, but I was so dang full I didn’t even make it to the roll . My boyfriend said the potato salad SLAPS aka is . Take a look at the before and after photos and make sure you go visit these nice ppl and show a local business some support; you most definitely wont be sorry!!

Anytime someone goes above and beyond to meet my needs I'm definitely giving them their due props. I went to Ol Skool Flava on a Friday wanting pork chops and of course it wasn't pork chop day but Mrs. T made it happen! Not only did she make my chop sandwich happen but the customer service was everything. Friendly ppl, great food and great hospitality I'll definitely be dining here time and time again.

A nice little unassuming spot that was clean and had very good customer service. The food was fresh and very delicious. The wings were small but they gave me a lot. The vegetables were very good and a nice option to have besides french fries.
