Joy Cafe is a beloved Southern spot in Atlanta, Georgia that caught the attention of Guy Fieri and the crew behind Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, Joy Cafe has since permanently closed its doors.
The restaurant was featured in Season 23, Episode 5 — an episode called “Homeland Favorites” that first aired in 2015.
With a solid 4.4-star Google rating and more than 996 reviews, it’s clear that Joy Cafe delivers a dining experience worth talking about. The menu is moderately priced, making it accessible for a casual meal or a special outing.
Being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a major milestone for any restaurant. The show, hosted by Guy Fieri since 2007, has visited hundreds of restaurants across the country, shining a spotlight on the independent, owner-operated spots that define America’s food culture. For Joy Cafe, the DDD feature put Atlanta, Georgia on the culinary map for viewers across the nation.
Although Joy Cafe is no longer serving customers, its appearance on DDD remains a lasting tribute to the food and the people who made it special.
