    HORSERADISH BEEF, Potato Salad, Double Chocolate Ginger cookie, FRIED PICKLES
    David M.

    Came here after a decade-long break, and it is exactly the same. What a relief! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food matches the mood. Their pickles (fresh or fried) are above the hype, but for lunch get the horseradish beef sandwich. It's one of my favorites on the planet.

    We had taken a tour of downtown Roswell and were interested in grabbing lunch before a lengthy drive home. I had found this place online and it looked interesting. The restaurant is located about a quarter mile north of the heart of Roswell's center / restaurant district. It is built into an old house, and uses the backyard as the parking lot. There is only one entrance / exit driveway, so it can be challenging to get out. During the day, they appear to share the lot for the adjacent restaurant (which is dinner-only) so if I returned I'd probably try to park there instead. We arrived around 12:30 p.m. on a Saturday. We waited in line about 10 minutes to place our order at the counter. They had some tables inside (spread across multiple rooms) and many picnic tables outside. The food was pretty good. I think I got a BLT and my wife got a chicken or fish sandwich. I think there was a salad involved in someone's dish, which was also good. Everything tasted fresh. If you don't mind crowds, this is fine. There was a constant stream of people placing orders, picking up food, etc. That is not a criticism, just a fact. This is not a quiet lunch, but it is a good lunch. I'd consider returning here if I wanted lunch in Roswell.

    So good! Stopped in for lunch and we had the tuna melt and the turkey sandwich, both awesome highly recommend the tomato basil soup!

    Phenomenal, hands-down the best RUben sandwich I've ever had!! and let me tell you I've tried plenty in Chicago, Boston, California and Florida but this takes the cake!!

    My friend and I were thrifting around the area and had never been to Roswell before. We drove down a strip of restaurants in cute houses, and the Fickle Pickle stood out. I'm so glad it did! I'm all about a restaurant in a house because I love the cozy feel. The line was really long, but it moved quickly. They had an Italian sandwich for the special so I got that with a Caesar salad and you get a loaded sandwich. We also tried their pickle flight and fried pickles, and all of the pickles tasted fresh and flavorful. If you are in the area I'd definitely recommend!

    The outside and inside are a cute and historic old Roswell house. The staff are all very helpful and friendly! We ordered the fried pickles and pickle sampler, both were fantastic!! I don't like bread&butter pickles, but even those were ok my Brie BLT is now one of my favorite sandwiches, and my husband loved his Creole Cuban

    --had to come after seeing andy's hilarious & wholesome tiktok video-- catfish & green tomato sandwiches were both delicious!! the soup of the day (clam chowder) was extremely unique/delicious as well, highly recommend! and of course, the fried pickles were *chefs kiss* there's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating; the airconditioning in the back unit area is SO powerful and refreshing! felt amazing to walk inside and use the bathroom in there after eating outside in the summer heat/humidity staff was very attentive & service was prompt! would def come again & highly recommend!

    I wanna love this place, really. I'm going to be in the minority here, but honestly, I don't think it's that great. I know lots of people love this place, but when I went back recently, it wasn't the place I remembered from awhile back. This place is super quaint, running out of an old, historic house. It's very popular for lunch as the line and the small, gravel lot fills up shortly after they open at 11. If you drive into the lot and find it full, good luck backing out. It's tight. In case you miss the signs, there's additional parking at Osteria Mattone. I was pretty excited about the cuban thinking ... a place with pickle in the name serving a sandwich that has good pickle presence ... should be legit. It was good, decent. The creole thing gave it a nice punch. It's just not a cuban. Not on the right bread, not the right kind of pork, etc. The coleslaw I ordered was less like salad and more like soup. Tuna melt was good but again nothing epic. Potato salad definitely not my favorite. Now, I will say those fried pickles breaded in cornmeal and deep-fried are worth coming for. Delicious!

    Is this a place one could also go to study?

    I would say no. Crazy Love Coffee shop across the street is better.

    Are they open on Labor Day?

    They were not open for Labor Day. Super disappointing to drive there and then be closed

    My friend and I had heard great things about The Southern Porch, so we decided to give it a try for…read morebrunch this past Saturday. Unfortunately, our excitement quickly faded before we were even seated. When I walked into the restaurant, I was completely ignored by a young blonde employee named Claudia who was standing behind the counter in the waiting area. She looked directly at me and continued what she was doing without so much as a greeting or an acknowledgment. A simple, "Good morning, someone will be right with you," would have gone a long way. Since no one else was in the lobby and I noticed a clipboard on the counter, I politely asked if there was a waitlist. Claudia responded with an attitude that she "wasn't the hostess." I calmly asked where the hostess was, and she simply replied that she was clearing tables. There was no offer to help, no explanation of the process, and no attempt to assist me. She continued interacting with other staff members while I stood there feeling like an inconvenience. Thankfully, another employee who appeared to be a waiter noticed me. He immediately picked up the same clipboard that had been sitting on the counter, took my name and phone number with a cheerful attitude, and let me know it would be about a 15-minute wait. His professionalism completely contrasted with the poor customer service I had just experienced. Once seated, our waiter was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was also very good. I ordered the Chicken Sausage Scramble with hash browns, and it was delicious. My friend ordered the Catfish and Grits and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The food and our waiter helped redeem the experience, but first impressions matter. Management should ensure that every employee understands that providing basic courtesy and hospitality is everyone's responsibility, not just the hostess's. Even if greeting guests or managing the waitlist wasn't Claudia's primary role, there was no excuse for being dismissive or rude to someone walking through your front door. Alpharetta has no shortage of excellent brunch spots with both great food and outstanding customer service. Sadly, because of the way I was treated before I was even seated, I won't be returning to The Southern Porch. I also won't feel comfortable recommending it to friends or family. It's disappointing because the kitchen and our waiter did their jobs well, but one employee's attitude overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable brunch.

It's a small, popular place, and the wait can be long, especially during brunch hours. Some of my friends had to wait for almost 2hrs for the table. That said, it's a family-run style restaurant with a cozy, homey vibe, and the food is good. They serve classic Southern breakfast and brunch dishes, and most items are flavorful and comforting but compared to other brunch places the portion sizes are small. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly, though service can feel a bit slow when it's busy. Overall, it's a good spot if you're craving Southern comfort food, but go with patience--or try visiting on a weekday to avoid the long wait.

Beyond the food, the restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your meal. It's easy to see why Table & Main has been serving seasonal Southern cuisine since 2011 and has earned recognition in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand.
