I found South City Kitchen because of all the glowing reviews, and what a lovely surprise to…read morerealize it was within walking distance of my hotel while I was in Atlanta for a work conference! I ordered the She Crab Soup and the Springer Mountain Fried Chicken with garlic collards, mashed red bliss potatoes and honey thyme jus. I LOVE She Crab Soup, and this one did not disappoint. It was sooo flavorful! The chicken dinner was amazing too, and the honey thyme jus really pulled everything together. The homemade cornbread and biscuit were such a nice touch. Just what I needed after a long day. While I waited for my food, I took advantage of the happy hour cocktail specials, and the Old Fashioned was delicious too. And yes, the food was still amazing even after my walk back to the hotel! So glad I found this spot. Definitely worth the great reviews!

So glad that we made the journey to Mary Macs!…read more First off, the service was just great! I got the fried chicken, which reminded me of Mrs. Knott's Fried Chicken Restaurant in terms of taste/seasonings. It could have a little hotter/fresher as I could tell it had been sitting under the heat lamp for a little bit. For my sides, I went with 'heathy-ish' options with mixed veggies and also a sweet potato soufle, which actually tasted more like a dessert., I also loved the corn bread and rolls. As a first time guest, I'm also glad that they gave us the 'pot likker' which was like a well-seasoned salty broth.

Mary Mac's Tea Room feels like one of those places you have to experience at least once to truly…read moreunderstand Atlanta. There's so much history wrapped into the restaurant that eating here feels like participating in a little piece of the city's story, and I really appreciated that sense of tradition. The fried chicken and sweet tea were absolutely iconic. The chicken had that unmistakable Southern comfort-food quality that makes you understand why recipes like this are guarded so closely. The sweet tea was exactly what Southern sweet tea is supposed to be: unapologetically sweet, refreshing, and basically a cultural institution in a glass. Paired with the fried chicken, it felt like the quintessential Atlanta meal. What made the experience even more meaningful to me, though, was learning about the history behind the Southern "tea room" tradition itself. Historically, tea rooms were among the important public spaces where women could gather independently outside the home, socialize, exchange ideas, and engage with the changing cultural and political conversations of their communities. There's something powerful about realizing that what sounds like such a simple concept--a "tea room"--is connected to a much larger history of women carving out public and social spaces for themselves.

I can't believe it took me so long to eat at Delilah's! I've known of this highly lauded business…read morefor years but never found the right day when I was craving soul food and in the area to order. Until recently. I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

I don't know if it was a marketing tactic or genuine happening,…read morebut there was a sandwich (seemingly ready for customer pick-up) at the edge of the counter that looked delectable and totally caught the attention of my friend and I walking by. It made us stop and ask, "what is this place and this absolutely delicious-looking sandwich?!" The rest is history. We ordered yummy fried chicken pieces and a bbq chicken sandwich. It cured our souls. We asked the generous, wonderful lady at the counter about the story of Delilah's: was she a real person, who is she, etc. her answers made us fall in love even more... this is a genuine, family-owned and operated enterprise! We love, love, loved our food and I can't wait to go back and soport again!!! You gotta try it.

The tenders weren't over cooked so it was nice and juicy. Ha! Cornbread was addictively good. Mac cheese was straight and the collards had a kick. They were open late so I would order again. Especially if I'm craving their menu items.

Southern Kitchen and Grill is strictly a pickup spot--there's no indoor seating, though you're…read morewelcome to eat outside in the front if you'd like. While I know many come for the food, I personally make the 25-minute drive for one thing: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Or at least, I used to. Lately, it seems like something has changed in the process. The cheesecake hasn't been setting properly, and the cream cheese isn't fully blended into the sweet potato, leaving noticeable chunks. The flavor, once rich and decadent, has also diminished, making me question if it's still worth the trip. That said, I've heard the rest of the food is still solid, so if you're craving Southern comfort food, it may still be worth checking out. But for me, unless the cheesecake returns to its former glory, I might have to sit this one out.

Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy what I ordered, and the espresso martini wasn't quite to my taste either. That said, the atmosphere is really nice, and I'd definitely come back and try some of their sandwiches next time. The place was packed when we visited, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. And if you have to wait, make sure you have something to keep you entertained!

WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ???…read more It was a HIT I have been dying to try this place out for years and I figured I planned a lunch with a friend so we could spend the afternoon chitchatting and this was the perfect spot. So we were warmly greeted and then taken to a quiet table in the corner that had the whitest tablecloths. It looked rather chic Then we had the best server. She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place. They have valet parking that is only $2. Great place to visit. Until next time.

My guests really enjoyed their orders, including the Springer Mountain chicken, Nashville bites, and the farm egg hash. Overall, it's a solid spot--clean and modern, with great baked goods and reliable service. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Located downtown, there are a few parking spots on the street as well as several parking garages…read morenearby. It's within easy walking distance from several motels. There is a large sign on the side of building. Entering from the street, there is a ramp down to the counter and seating area. Seating is mostly tables with a few stools at the counter. There is a sign above the counter on the right for takeout orders. The menu is simple. It's fried chicken. There are sides like slaw and baked beans with a few appetizers, but mostly it's chicken. Once our order was placed, it only took about ten minutes to get our food. One thing we noticed while waiting was the cook was checking the internal temperature of each piece of chicken as it came out of the fryer. This was very much appreciated and ensured every piece was cooked to perfection. Constant quality checks like that show they take their product seriously and do not rely only on a timer to tell them when it is done. All the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. While moist, the meat was not dripping with juices that ran down your arm or left a puddle on your plate. All the flavor was locked into the chicken. The baked beans were good, maybe nothing special but certainly a good accompaniment to the chicken. The slaw was also decent. The mac and cheese was good as well. One note of caution. The chicken seasoning is spicy. If you are used to large chain spicy versions, this is more than that. The flavor is great but the spiciness will get your attention. As long as you are aware of that, you will very much enjoy this chicken.
