About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for outdoor dining
The Southern Gentleman is a Southern-inspired gastropub in The Buckhead Village District. The concept celebrates every aspect of what it means to be from the South with a fresh, modern take on traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The bar program explores the artistry and history of classic Southern cocktails—everything from barrel-aged cocktails to bottled libations to adult beverages on tap, along with New World wines and craft beers and the “perfect” mint julep.

The gorgeous top floor space in Buckhead Atlanta was designed by New York’s Lacina Heitler, and features classic, Southern touches done in surprising, modern ways: seersucker window treatments, tufted camel leather booths, vintage plateware, white marble countertops, vaulted ceilings, herringbone floors, dramatic chandeliers, complete with an oversized portrait of Mark Twain painted by a commissioned local artist.

    I came across this restaurant on TikTok and decided to make a reservation to celebrate my husband’s birthday. From the moment we arrived, the host gave us a warm welcome, wished my husband a happy birthday, and promptly seated us. Shannon was our server, and she took excellent care of us—walking us through the menu and highlighting some of their best food and drink options. We ordered drinks, hush puppies, short ribs, fried chicken, and mac and cheese—every dish was absolutely delicious! The highlight of the meal was the sweet potato pie birthday dessert. It tasted just like the homemade pie I grew up eating. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

    I had an absolutely amazing brunch. The bartender made a special cocktail for me, and I just told him I liked strawberries.

    We cannot begin to express the spectacular service provided by Cliff! His knowledge of the menu and ingredients helped us make our decisions and his personality and demeanor were so sincere and kind. And his sense of humor was right on. The food certainly rivaled our service. It was uncommonly and creatively presented and not just a fancy surf and turf restaurant. We were in town from Chicago for a national event and extolled the virtues of the menuSouthern Gentleman to everyone we met. Kudos to the chef, the staff and especially Cliff.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded today
    Jacquelyn, that is so kind of you to take the time to let us know about Cliff. We couldn't be more proud to know you and your group enjoyed his service so much. Thank you for your compliments on our food and the rest of our staff as well. We hope you will join us again if you are ever back in Atlanta!

    It would have been great for there to be mention that a networking event would be happening at same time. It was awkward. Cliff was an incredible waiter - he made the experience.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 5 days ago
    Jennifer, thank you for joining us and for your wonderful comments for Cliff. We apologize if we didn't inform you of an event that was also taking place and if it interfered with your ultimate enjoyment. We'll make sure to mention that in the future. Hopefully we'll have another chance to serve you soon!

    Excellent southern cuisine in a modern Southern atmosphere and bar. Love all the light in the restaurant about as much as the yummy food. My son had the brisket grilled cheese and said it was excellent. I had a grilled chicken salad which I knew was a boring choice, but wanted to be healthy. The salad was delicious! Great spot for brunch / lunch!
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 5 days ago
    Mandy, we love knowing you and your son enjoyed your lunch so much. Cheers to you for your healthy choice! We look forward to having you back again soon. Thank you for your kind review.
