"My boyfriend and I came across Poor Calvin's about three years ago and it is by far my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. I go there for all special occasions, the entire experience is incredible. The service is some of the best I have ever experienced and is always consistent. Not to mention the food! The Lobster Fried rice is my go-to, but you have to get an appetizer. The menu rotates seasonally I believe, and Calvin does not disappoint! A super eclectic restaurant with a unique ambiance that you will not be able to stop thinking about."

The Lobster Fried Rice was absolutely delicious! It came out hot and contained large pieces of seafood but was perfectly balanced with the wonderful combination of fresh veggies and rice. I can't wait to pick this item up again!

This is the BEST LOBSTER FRIED RICE in the world. The lobster is tempura style and pairs well with the fried rice. The portions are nice and large too and reheats well for leftovers.

Absolutely marvelous! A friend of mine has been telling me about the seafood here for months! My husband and I FINALLY caved and decided to give it a try and it was, no kidding, one of the best meals either of us had ever had. Poor Calvin's takes the foods we know and love and puts a spin on them that is simply unforgettable! We will most certainly be returning for Valentine's Day!

Their Lobster Fried Rice is the best Fried Rice I've ever had. I stopped in one night for dinner and being that it was my first time there I asked for suggestions from the waiter. The waiter suggested the Lobster Fried Rice and told me how popular it is and how "you can not go wrong" with this dish.... "You can not go wrong" is a understatement, this meal is filling and extremely tasty. Always order their Lobster Fried Rice, you will thank me later. It is well worth the money!!

All of the food here is amazing but the lobster fried rice is by far my favorite dish! They do not skimp on the lobster chunks and the flavor is superb. Poor Calvin's is typically my very first recommendation anytime anyone asks me a great place they should try for lunch or dinner. Awesome customer service and great vibe whether for brunch or dinner!

Oh My God!!!! This was, no kidding, the Best fried rice I have eaten and I have eaten fried rice from multiple establishments in multiple states and in multiple countries.... I tried it on a whim at the recommendation of another foodie. I ordered it and it was delivered and I tell you that the food was so fresh as if it had been prepared in my kitchen. The dish is bursting with a well rounded distribution of flavors and the consistency of the veggies are so you can tell what you are eating. The color of the dish and the presentation were superb. I am ordering it again today !!! Trust me you're going to want to go back for more. Delicious...

The absolute best dish on the menu!! Although it's the only one I tried I can't imagine anything being as delicious as this dish. Packed with flavor , the lobster is fried just right. I recommend ten times over. If you have not been to Poor Calvin's yet you are missing out ! Definitely a hidden gem. There is parking and the service is phenomenal! I will definitely be back !

It was hard choosing a single item to review when I've been here a slew of times. Absolutely divine every single visit. The service is amazing, very genuine and welcoming. Appetizers are to die for. Mannnnnn this lobster fried rice?!! Literally drooling just recalling how freaking delicious it was!!!!!!!!!! I'm a big fan of fried rice and pretty sure this is my favorite that I've had. Additionally, the pound cake and empanadas for dessert was sublime. Literally doesn't make sense how good they were. Me and my bf got both desserts and we didn't care that the buttons on our pants were about to burst. I sincerely love Poor Calvin's and will forever frequent this establishment as long as it's here. Great job guys!!

Poor Calvin's is THEEEE best Thai fusion restaurant to ever exist! This restaurant is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and the customer service is superb. The seafood spring rolls, the Tom Yum soup, the frog legs, the curry shrimp... Jesus......

OMG WHAT A DELICACY!! This dish is enough for 2 to share but it's so good you WON'T want to share!! When you think of a fried lobster tail you automatically think DRY and TUFF. Not the case with this dish...the lobster is cooked to perfection! I've had many dishes but the Lobster Fries Rice by far is my fabulous favorite. If you're not a fan of Lobster try the Crispy Beef over Jasmine Rice or the Curry Tofu Vegan...you won't be disappointed!! YUM YUM

Can you say amazing? Amazing is what the Lobster Fried rice was. When we arrived we were greeted by a packed looby waiting to be seated, we almost left. The wait was short lived and our dining experience had begun. We started with some appetizers and the best sangria paired with a black cherry. Shortly after the lobster fried rice arrived,I fell in love with this place.

I only come for the delectable fried lobster 🦞 tail. Beyond ingenious and lightly tempura fried to perfection. Also enjoy the crunchy fresh vegetables with a touch of spice in their fried rice 🍚. Not a kale fan but definitely enjoy 😊 the fried kale 🥬 on the side. I make an effort to stop by when in town. IG: @AmandaEd04

Poor Calvin's is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta! I've never had a bad meal here. EVERYTHING is always delicious and prepared and flavored so well. The drinks are delicious. The dessert is poppin! Even their lunch menu is hittin! Lol! My favorite dish is the Lobster Fried Rice! I literally dream about eating it lol! The service has always been top notch as well! Here are a few tips: Always RSVP! If you have a larger crowd (over 6), this may not be the spot for you. This restaurant is intimate (small). The parking lot is also small; however, valet is available (sometimes). There is also street parking nearby.
