Excellent fried chicken . Green tomatoes with goat cheese were ok. Fantastic brisket sandwich . Chicken & waffles only available for brunch . Friendly staff and a interesting wine menu .

Barry Bloom

A great find in Atlanta's midtown neighborhood . Pictured is their signature BBQ Shrimp appetizer . Deelish. I had fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes and collard greens . Fried green tomatoes .

Olivia

Flavorful fare! Pretty much everything we had was amazing! Chicken is a must. So is a peach salad . And oysters ! And Rose ! And banana cream brûlée . And....

Kyle Underwood

By far the best chicken and waffles in the city . The chicken is perfectly fried and seasoned and the waffle is heavenly. They can both stand on their own, but together...pure food magic.

Grahame Buss

I love this place. Shrimp and grits , fried green tomatoes , beer - heaven. Sit at the bar . Very friendly . Now my days of visiting Atlanta are over. But, I shan't forget it. Don't miss it

Dan Fetzner

Food was good and they did a great job of accommodating our large group, all of whom had bags (we were on our way to the airport ) which they stored for us. Great experience all around.

Staff Picks

The trending taste this week is the classic Southern favorite, fried green tomatoes . What better way to experience this taste than with some goat cheese at one of your favorites, South City Kitchen.

Ronald Clayton Small

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu in this piece! Chicken and waffles , shrimp and grits and the crab cakes -- it's all good! The speciality drinks are the bomb as well ! Nice spot!

Kristin

The best service ever. My husband was not thrilled with the waitress 's recommendation and she brought him his second choice entree! Fried Green tomatoes were awesome as well as the shrimp n grits !

Yera Ha

Fun fact: I once sat and ate with a famous Chicago Bulls player here and didn't even realize what a big shot he is until I left. We both got the buttermilk fried chicken !

Krystle Sims

Do not miss a chance at the fried chicken . Oh. My. God. Also, the cornbread with fresh butter is EVERYTHING. Leave your diet at the door and indulge a little; it's worth it!

Bob Bruns

Their fried chicken , potatoes and collard greens were phenomenal! Also great touch with biscuits and cornbread ! Will definitely be coming back and recommending others.

Lauren Grimm

Share a set of the southern plates - don't miss the pulled pork , fried green tomatoes , chicken , chop and rabbit pasta ! That order made a perfect dinner for 3-4.

Jenelle Griles

The Staff , decor, ambiance and OMG, the food...euphoric! The bourbon cured salmon , geechie stew , chicken n waffles ; everything was Perfect! Now I need a nap☺️

AJC

Ok, so chicken and waffles are not southern (seriously, look it up!), but that doesn’t mean we haven’t welcomed it into the fold and perfected it! After all, fried chicken is a southern staple. Read more

The pan roasted duck breast with red quinoa , Tuscan kale , and blood orange jus was amazing. If you have never tried duck , try this!

Leticia Quiñones

The place is really nice, fried tomatoes definitely worth to try. The place was really hot and I was sitting in the patio

Thrillist

For brunch , we love the cheddar scrambled eggs , stone-ground grits , and applewood smoked bacon and for dinner , the buttermilk fried chicken is where it's at.

Wendy Darling

Fantastic experience tonight - every dish and drink delicious, gracious, not too cloying service. I rec the smoked pork chopped , fried chicken , trout , pineapple upside down cake .

Colin Lee

Excellent shrimp and grits . Get the house salad with fried chicken for a healthy choice that allows you to try the chicken

Fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and crab cake appetizer are awesome! Staff will split potions for you.

Sarah W

This was really good! A little pricey . But pretty good! I got the Trout . It had stuff that I never knew I would like, but it was pretty tasty!

Chris Paul

Some of the best southern-inspired fried chicken on the planet. Pork belly and fried green tomatoes are superb starters. Great service all around.

Colleen Budge

Areas of the restaurant are a little dark if you are one of those people who prefer to see what you are eating, but don't worry, they provide pen lights!

LadyJupiter.com

Amazing brunch . The smoked salmon appetizer is great for sharing, just try to -not- fill up on biscuits & coffee before your meal arrives.

Michael White

Fabulous duck !! Unbelievable halibut . Awesome buttery filet. Simple but perfect flat iron steak . Great cocktails . Better than Gun Show.

Jamal Liverpool

Fried green tomatoes , crab cake toast , fried chicken , mashed potatoes , and collard greens ....yep I'm useless for the rest of the day.

Fried green tomatoes and fried chicken are must orders. Get a back porch bourbon and georgia peach cocktail to wash it all down

Allison Barbarash

Come hungry and ready to share. Things you need to eat: fried green tomatoes , apple butter , fried chicken n' waffles and the BLT. Hot damn delicious!

Chicken and waffles were so good...no need to get them anywhere else in this city

Great food. The chicken & waffle is yummy. Crispy chicken that isn't greasy at all. Grits & lemonade are also good.

Tawana Burnett

Shrimp and grits were really good. Would recommend brunch here and taking a 1st or 2nd look at the drink menu. Really great drinks to pair with your meal.

Viv

Try the Chicken & Waffle offered during Sunday Brunch . Autumn is a great server! Ask for her section. Grits & Fried Green Tomatoes were good too.

Alice Q

Highly recommend: In house hot sauce . Catfish Ruben . Collard kimchi (gateway entry level, but balanced).

Lynn Marie Franco

Great service! They proactively split the portions in two if they can tell you intend to share. Love that!

Huaisi Cen

Take a photo before you eat can't show how good their food tastes.

The fried chicken and fried green tomatoes are delicious!

Go to the original one on Crescent. Classic for 20+ years--good dinners but brunch is the best. Nice for a family event .
