    Hostesses we’re not very warm and I caught one rolling her eyes at someone in my party checking on the timing of our table. Bread took a while to arrive at the table. It was obvious they were understaffed. Our server Roy was the best part of our night. He is great at his job and saved our experience!

    Food was fantastic but we were rushed at every stage, from drinks, apps, entree, to dessert and topped off by one in our party witnessing a manager tapping her watch and telling the server to get us out. Disappointing experience.

    Amazing food and wonderful service. The fried green tomatoes have a twist that gives them a leg up. The ham on the large biscuit sandwich was perfection. The biscuits by themselves are worth the trip. I will definitely be back.

    South City Kitchen is an ATL staple. I've gone many times over the years of visiting ATL. Their Sunday brunch is always the best time to bring visiting guests and locals alike. The she crab soup is to die for and their staple King Biscuit as well as the Chicken and Waffles are amazing every time. Atmosphere is amazing, staff is always 10/10.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at South City Kitchen in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience. The chicken dish I ordered was simply out of this world, with a flavor that left me wanting more. The potatoes were cooked to perfection and exceeded my expectations. The collard greens were a wonderful accompaniment, bursting with flavor and cooked just right. My wife and I also indulged in a dessert that was nothing short of heavenly. The combination of chocolate-covered pretzels and vanilla gelato was a match made in dessert heaven. It was evident that great care and attention to detail went into creating this delectable treat. The restaurant itself is a hidden gem in Atlanta, with a charming and inviting atmosphere. Don't be fooled by its unassuming exterior; stepping inside reveals a beautifully designed space that immediately puts you at ease. The staff at South City Kitchen were exceptional, providing attentive and friendly service throughout our meal. All in all, I highly recommend South City Kitchen to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Atlanta. The incredible flavors, cozy atmosphere, and outstanding staff make it a must-visit destination.

    Fantastic, as always! My wife enjoyed the Mah-Mahi, and I love the Smoky Grilled Pork Chop. The PEI Mussels were also delicious, and the Salmon Tartare, though a slight bit spicy, was also wonderful. The service was prompt and professional, and we will return as soon as possible.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by a local foodie. Excellent choice. Fried green tomatoes were delicious. Our server split the order on two plates. Very thoughtful. Bourbon sour drink was great. Biscuits and cornbread so good we asked for more. We ordered fried chicken that was nice and moist. We sat downstairs in a small enclave that can get noisy but the patio seemed quiet.

    Aquilla is a great server. Very helpful. The crab cake was excellent. Crisp outside, soft inside, and very meaty. The duck confit was flavorful and tender. However the skin was not crisp, nor golden; quite flabby. All in all a very good meal.

    Went for Saturday morning brunch. Immediately greeted warmly by the hostess and seated. Server came and told us about the restaurant then took our drink orders. The bread bowl with delicious cornbread and biscuits was a welcome surprise, 3 of each for our table of two, and quite tasty. Next we got the crab rice and chicken and waffles to share. Chicken and waffles was definitely the better of the two entrees. Mango margaritas were spot on
