WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ??? 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. read more

Location Carries, Great for Clients, Not for Value Location, location, location. That's the story here. This spot earns its 4 stars largely because of the setting and service. Right in the heart of Buckhead with a beautiful view great energy, well-dressed crowd, and a strong place for a work lunch or client meeting. Service was solid, no complaints there. I'll keep it simple the food was good, don't get me wrong. But for the price, it just didn't match up. This is one of those places that works if you're trying to impress clients or enjoy the atmosphere. Strip away the location, and the food-to-price ratio probably lands much lower. Just my take. Overall: 4/5 great setting, just comes at a premium. read more

Excellent food! Loved the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, farmstead squash and apple salad. Each was unique and fresh, and the sandwich was so juicy! We swapped the chips that came with the sandwich for fries, which I think was a good decision. The Bless Your Tart cocktail was a pomegranate margarita, and we loved that too. The cornbread and biscuit that comes with each meal - divine. We went for lunch on a Friday, and it was surprising that they told us all they had was bar seating. A few bigger tables were open, and when I asked nicely, they let the pair of us sit at a 4 top. It was a restaurant full of business meetings. Very pleasant inside. The parking is $2 valet. read more

South City Kitchen - Apple Salad, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, Farmstead Squash - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been coming to this SCK location for years and we love it! To start parking is in a parking garage and it is about nine dollars per hour. The restaurant does not validate. If it's a holiday, I would definitely recommend making a reservation but on a weekday I usually just walk in and I'm seated almost immediately. I love the menu selections at this location from bunch to dinner. They have great options for the whole family. This is one of the few Atlanta restaurants that has a great vibe and isn't too loud or unwelcoming for those with children. My top five things on the menu are the brunch fried Gouda bites, the Nashville, hot chicken whether you get the appetizer or the sandwich, their chicken and waffle is pretty good, I love their mashed potatoes and collard greens. Anything on the brunch menu is a definite hit. read more

South City Kitchen delivered. The deviled eggs were a standout to start. Savory with just the right touch of sweetness from the jam. Perfect balance. I ordered the Southern fried chicken and it did not disappoint. Seasoned to perfection with an extra crispy crust. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy, and the collard greens had a subtle sweetness that I absolutely loved. Everything on the plate was done right. Drinks were strong but still well balanced, which is always appreciated. Service was amazing and everything flowed smoothly. The restaurant is warm and moody, perfect for a date night. read more

DELICIOUS food. Love all the southern comfort classics, even down to the complimentary biscuit/cornbread basket and salted butter. My favorites were the southern dip trio, Nashville chicken bites, and the shrimp & grits. An amazing, semi-upscale place to take visitors of the South. Attentive service too. Nearby valet is $2. read more

South City Kitchen - The Southern Spread - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Location and atmosphere is great. There is a parking garage right next door with a reasonable price. They were busy on a Wednesday night. We had a reservation for our party of 8 but the table wasn't ready at that time so there was a small wait. Our waitress was almost perfect. She did a great job selling the minimum by telling us what they are most known for as well as highlighting additional items. Although when our table ordered one of the appetizers we were told they were out of it, but that was followed up with the fact they weren't out of it but was holding the remaining servings just in case a bigger party that was already there wanted them. The food itself... Drink: old fashioned, it was okay. Their choice of glass quality seemed off. Compared to the glass they served water in it seemed weaker, thinner and more fragile. Biscuits - these were awesome! Fluffy and a wonderful taste. Pimento cheese - not something I'd order but gave it a taste and it wasn't my jam Fried chicken with potatoes and greens - the fried chicken breast is served off of the bone, with the exception of the attached drum ether. The fry was good and the chicken was moist, but considering this is a soul food joint, I expected more flavor and seasoning. The potatoes and greens were serviceable, but the chicken im told is something they are known for and presented as the star of the dish. It's fair to say that I had high hopes, was slightly disappointed, but it was good... I just expected great. If I return, I'd definitely eat more biscuits, try the cornbread and a different entree. read more

Recently stopped in with coworkers for brunch and was not disappointed. We all got something different so there were many things to taste. While here I noshed on: She crab soup- creamy and decadent. Very good and savory Chicken livers- pan fried with a sort of creamed corn. Nicely prepared. The corn gave it a creamy taste that paired well with the livers. Fried green tomatoes- crispy and fresh. This was prepared with goat cheese. It gave it a nice zing! Steak and eggs- Topped with chimicurri, this was a nice take on a brunch standard. Steak was cooked to perfection. Deviled eggs- rich and creamy. The crispy shallots was the perfect topper to break up the creaminess. Fried chicken w/ greens and mashed potatoes- crisp and juicy! This plate can be shared by 2. The greens and mashed potatoes were the perfect compliment. Lastly, the meal came with Biscuits & corn muffins w/ apple butter jam. Hmmmm. Hot and fresh. Both were moist and fluffy. And that apple butter jam! Slammin. I asked for an order of each to go! Phew! Can you tell we are were stuffed? Everything was sufficiently priced for the serving portion. Our server was on point! Will visit again! read more

Came by on a Sunday morning for brunch and were able to get a reservation for 11:45am for a party of 7. Unfortunately the table they gave us was not in the shade and it got really hot sitting in the sun. Said they couldn't put the shades down. We ended up doing take out instead and they said it would take 20-30 minutes. We ordered a kids meal and the person who took our order was going to charge for the ice cream it came with - we had to show her on the menu that it said it was part of the meal...she said she had no idea in her 2 years of working here, so I wonder how many other parents got overcharged for their kids meals or just didn't get the whole meal that was advertised. Ended up taking an hour and by then there were plenty of open tables in the shade which was disappointing. We ate outside nearby and the food was alright, not bad but not worth $26 for the portion of chicken and waffles that were given. I was also told I would get a side salad with my benedict but they forgot it. Thought about going back after eating to ask for it but my family were planning to go to the ATL history center nearby and I was pretty full - if we picked up the salad it would probably spoil in the car since it was a warm day. Wouldn't recommend unless it is not busy or you're willing to wait and pay for smaller portions. There is great affordable valet parking though for $2 which we appreciated. read more

The ambiance is very nice also the service! I think the food is a little pricey for what I had. I ordered the fried chicken with greens and mashed potatoes. The chicken was moist and flavorful . The greens were ok as well as mashed potatoes! I didn't like all the greens juice on my plate. The greens also had to many stems for me. I have had similar that cost less! The little piece of cornbread I tasted was great! I wish they had an alternative without corn inside for people that can't have corn. Not a repeat for me but it is nice to try to see how you like it! read more

With a flagship location that opened in 1993 on Crescent Street in midtown, South City Kitchen has expanded over the decades and has become a much beloved Atlanta institution. Classics like fried green tomatoes, fried chicken and the burger are undoubtedly hard to beat. The location in Buckhead opened in 2016. The space at the Buckhead location is not terribly exciting and not particularly distinguishable. The patio is near a busy road and really, isn't much of a patio. Thus, ambiance wise, South City is not a place that deserves any accolades. This is especially unfortunate given that South City is a fine dining establishment and while standards for higher end southern cooking were likely lower in the 90s, these days expectations are a bit different. Yet, the food delivers. The staff are always very professional and attentive. Dishes are classic in every way and truly excellent. read more

This is a great place to casually dine, date, or have a celebratory dinner/lunch/brunch. The menu changes seasonally, but the food is extremely good with a unique twist on some of the items. Service is great and if you're celebrating something, please let them know as they will do small gestures that are thoughtful and appreciated. I will be returning very soon. read more

A fine place to dine solo at the bar. We don't have restaurants like this in my town so it's a treat to for me to visit. The kitchen was a flurry, the music tamed it a bit as did the low lighting. They have NA cocktail options that looked interesting but it wasn't what I was looking for tonight. Deviled eggs with crispy shallots and a jam that added depth to eggs. The coconut red rice with mushrooms was creamy, with a nice balance of sweet and heat. read more

A nice little spot. Valet parking is the best option, it's $2 oppose to paying $16+ in the parking deck. Beautiful ambiance. I sat near a fireplace and watched life happen on Peachtree Road as I ate. The food was good but I was underwhelmed. It was good, not really amazing. The fried tomatoes were bland. The chicken sandwich was tasty but it came with potato chips. The highlight for me was the biscuits and cornbread! Biscuits that melt in your mouth, with or without butter! My server, Riley, was a 10/10. She knew the menu, gave great suggestions and didn't miss a beat making sure we had everything we needed. read more

Located what feels to be off a hotel, this location of South City is quite modern and beautiful, but with a view of Peachtree Street. The service was quite quick, especially with a table of nine, so I do appreciate that. I got the fried chicken and waffles, and although the seasoning on the chicken was great. It just felt a little bit dry. The waffle was light and fluffy so it was nice to have that as a pairing overall a good southern brunch place, but there are some better spots in Atlanta. read more

I received a gift card for my birthday and finally decided to stop by this delightful establishment. I was accompanied by my ‍Hubs‍ and my mom, so I was really in great company. Our server, Xander was absolutely superb, when I made the reservation, I made them aware of my seafood allergies. So our table was upstairs away from the kitchen and all of the fumes. Xander was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating to our every need. He had such a great personality & was extremely handsome! And quite the professional I might add. The food was simply delicious. We tried some things we would not normally try and we were all very pleased with our selections. ‍Hubs‍ and I also got a bloody Mary and it was spicy but boy was a good! The restaurant was super cute and just really well decorated and valet was only two dollars, which is unheard of! We will definitely be returning! read more

I've been here few times before but tonight was somewhat disappointing. I ordered a Salty Dog and our server didn't know what it was and said only drinks they have are the cocktails on the menu and said " I doubt the bartender knows what that even is". I said it's just vodka and grapefruit with salt on rim. He went to the bar and asked if they could make it and came back and said yes. When the drink arrived it was just a splash of grapefruit. I secretly went to bar when server wasn't looking and asked for more grapefruit. Bartender said thought was odd when ticket said splash grapefruit. My friend and I ordered several apps to share which only the she crab soup and fried green tomatoes were good. The rest was very sub par and disappointing. read more

This was the first restaurant we visited while in Atlanta. Not knowing anything about the area, the food, or the people, we decided to trust Yelp's rating, and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint! The restaurant has an upscale vibe, and since it was my first experience in Georgia, I wasn't sure what to expect. The food was fantastic. The fried chicken was out of this world, and the biscuits were so good they almost made me cry. It's a shame I wasn't in town long enough to visit this place twice, but I swear, if I'm ever in Atlanta again, I'll definitely come back! By the way, it's refreshing to see that the term "Southern hospitality" truly lives up to its name here. The people, the atmosphere, and the locals were all so welcoming, a nice change from California. read more

This space is a little tight but the staff makes it happen! I do think that the team could be a little more alert, but I haven't been there in a while. Perhaps the service has improved. I've had the fried chicken, max, and greens. Everything was pretty flavorful. I believe I had crab fingers too the flavor was good. I recommend this place for your soul food fix. read more

We came on a less busy Friday after the holiday. We sat at the bar for quicker service. Our server was okay. Seemed bothered by our requests at first. I ordered a Cajun turkey BLT with fries. It was just okay. Nothing special about it. I've had better. My friend ordered a shrimp Po boy with a side Caesar salad. The salad was phenomenal along with the chips. I also ordered fried green tomatoes which were decent and well cooked. The place was pretty quiet besides the music choices. Overall, we'll be back but only for brunch on the weekends. read more

Biscuit - it taste amazing with the apple butter. Has a nice salty taste to it as well. Cornbread - this is the best cornbread that I've had. It has a sweet cinnamon taste in small chunks of corn. Very sweet and delicious. SCA Crab Cake GA - very soft texture inside. A little bit of sweetness from the red wine vinaigrette and it also comes with celeriac and brussels that give a nice balance of the dish. Fried Green Tomato - remind me like a fried mozzarella stick. The outside is very crunchy. Sprinter Mountain Fried Chicken and Buttermilk Waffle - the chicken is super crispy and season well. This is literally the best waffles I've had in my life. I was super crispy on the outside and the inside was so soft. It tasted like clouds. The syrup is also not that sweet, which makes it yummy. That Sandwich - the egg was cooked well and still slightly runny. The bacon was crispy and not too fatty. The vegetables were fresh and delicious. Good sandwich! VIBES The place is very crowded on Sunday morning for brunch. They're seating from base to tables to high chair seating. When we made a reservation it was full so we got seating outside. It was quite disappointing that they didn't have shades on the seats near the window so for lots of our meal we were in complete sun and they didn't have any alternative seating. It got really hot really fast with the direct sunlight. SERVICE Service is pretty decent. Our server was Brantley. The only disappointing thing was that they had run out of stuff for the crabcakes which is surprising considering it opens at 10 AM. read more

Food was definitely 5/5 but the service was the reason I had take away a star... Making reservations is definitely recommended. You get seated right away. Dim lighting around the restaurant Our server was great but she was a little slow.. (I forget her name) When we got seated.. the plates and silverware was all scattered.. no napkins and there was a wet tray on the seat that the hostess had to quickly move out the way. There were no napkins We tried the Gouda fritters, fried chicken and shrimp & Grits. they were all very delicious you do get complimentary biscuits and cornbread Drinks I got the one with the sparkling water and grapefruit. VERY DELICIOUS overall, for date night it was nice but probably won't be back for a second time. read more

Our wait staff was so amazing. They made the experience what it was. Fun. Lovely. Full of laughs. And chill. The food was simply okay. I wasn't blown away. Our group of five ordered different things. Fried green tomatoes. Fried chicken. Carolina trout. Garlic collards. Fried okra. Chicken chopped salad. I had a piece of them all. It's more of an upscale southern spot rather than what you might expect or what is depicted on tv when you think of southern food. They do give complimentary biscuits and cornbread which is great with the butter. We asked for more of those. I walked in but heard that if you drive that there's a valet or limited parking. It was a steady rush of people. During our 3 hour meal, it was about 60 percent full the entire time. The staff gets a golden star and we tipped them well for their attentiveness. read more

I received a gift card and decided to bring the family here to spend it on a Monday night. We were able to get a reservation fairly easily and the table was ready when we arrived. Our server quickly arrived to greet us and share some options for drinks and appetizers. She was really helpful and knew the menu well, which we needed some help with. Lots of things sounded great! It was hard to choose!! Hubby had a cocktail and said it was really good. Our appetizers came out quickly and were good. I got the fried green tomatoes and was pleased with the flavor and sauce. Our entrees were also solid. But I have to say, the complimentary cornbread was a major highlight. I would go there again just to get more of that! read more

First time trying this place. Went on a Sunday for brunch and it has a great inside and outside. Covered patio and the ability to open the covering if you prefer. The food was ok. Not anything I would have to come back for. I had the shrimp and grits without the ham. The grits were a bit undercooked but edible. The shrimp was pretty bland, but everything mixed together well. Mu friend had the biscuit and the chicken livers, he was underwhelmed and didn't each much of either after first bite. Maybe we just need to order the signature items. Service was decent, there was 2 servers running a few different tables, so there was some lack of being checked up on multiple times. But the server gave suggestions and was very kind. read more

Very high class place.. I would recommend this place if you want to take your date to a nice restaurant!

This place wasn't quite a 3 but also not quite a 4. I would be open to coming back during dinner or a wkend Brunch and seeing how it is. Lunch was underwhelming . I will give it to them tho that crab cake was amazing ! My go tos are spicy chicken sandwiches and this had no spice whatsoever arguably any flavor . I barely touched it. My friend ordered a salad with chicken . It came with fried okra which wasn't bad texturally but again lacking flavor. Servers were friendly so kudos to the service and staff. We sat outside and it was a chill vibe. Again, not a fan of their Lunch. However I would probably go back . Wouldn't be my first choice. read more

We had dinner here one night. Typical southern food menu. It was very close to our hotel, although we did not walk as we were advised the area is not safe to walk after dark. Restaurant is located in the bottom of a large office building. They have valet parking. We sat upstairs at a four top table. My chair was very wobbly so we exchanged it our selves. We did not see a waiter at our table for quite awhile. Drinks were good. I had a cosmo and everyone else had wine. Everyone's food was good with the exception of the she-crab soup. It was inedible. Waiter was not very responsive when it was sent back. He was offended like he had made it himself. I had the fried chicken and it was cooked well. The best part were the sides. The meal was good but the issue with the soup set the tone and the waiter was def off for the rest of the service. read more

I LOVE all of the Fifth Group Restaurants. I usually come with friends, family, or my (work) colleagues at the Avalon. I also ordered the GA Apple salad, as well as the Fried Chicken. The salad was drenched in a cider vinegarette, i asked for my salad to have light onions and it was covered in onions. My server seemed apathetic and I was starving, so i just ate it. The chicken was good. My service, overall, was unremarkable, not great, and certainly not worth returning for. I initially wanted a cocktail, but I left to have a nightcap elsewhere. I don't recommend this location. Midtown snd the Avalon are better. read more

Wow their fried chicken was deliiiiicious! I stopped by on a Sunday evening and it was packed! I was by myself on a work trip so I was seated by the bar immediately so I didn't have to wait much. The venue has a nice dark cool vibe with lots of music. As someone who doesn't eat seafood (which was half their menu), I chose the first entree on the list, the fried chicken ($25) and I was not disappointed! The chicken was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It went really well with the potatoes. I definitely felt the southern hospitality there. I ended my meal with a scoop of tiramisu ice cream so I was a happy camper. If you're in the Lennox area, definitely check this restaurant out! It's a few minutes walk from the Lennox mall read more

Came here for Sunday brunch with my bestie from out of town. Not much for southern or fried food but she wanted to try some and came here after seeing such good reviews! I am so glad we did! We both ordered salads with their friend chicken which were so amazing! The Chicken was to die for! It was well seasoned, like sooo good. Perfect portions too! My only issue was sitting up top with the gorgeous city view- they have curtains and they closed the curtains which made it all dark and honestly a totally different vibe- we asked the same waiter to partially open and he said it's all or nothing, only thing that would make it better or partial curtains lol. Other than that, service was good and food phenomenal. Loved the green tomatoes! read more
