South City Kitchen Buckhead

Great location in Buckhead. I went on a Sunday after church and it was crowded. My server was friendly and took great care of me. I ordered the chicken and waffles and something wasn't right with my waffle. It didn't taste good at all, I thought the syrup and butter would help but it didn't. It had a sour taste, I'm not sure if they added buttermilk to it or what but I'll never order that again. The chicken had a good flavor but was a little overcooked. I would come back just to try dinner and hopefully, the food will be a little better.

The food was very delicious! The ambiance and our server were top notched!!

Food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional. Love the fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits.

I have been to south city before at a different location but this one just couldn’t get it right. We were sat at a table that was squeezed in upstairs, put against a window inches from another table and it was under an ice cold ceiling air vent. We asked it to be turned down or off and it was never addressed. The first drink ordered didn’t come out until the appetizer came which took 20 min and the restaurant wasn’t busy. I ordered an appetizer as a meal and ordered a side of fried okra as well. The okra never came and when we asked, he assured us it was never on the bill (he didn’t put it in). I had the mussels and asked for an extra side of bread which also never came out. We worked our way through dinner and dessert was offered. He brought out a sorbet that we hadn’t ordered and when we stated we hadn’t ordered that, we jokingly said it would be a good treat for them and without a blink, he took it back for he and a coworker to enjoy. There were so many missed opportunities and forgotten things, this experience was just very poor. The food was good but the service just entirely missed the mark. Parking: We thought valet would be expensive so we self parked in the garage. Over an hour is $14 and we only later found out valet is subsidized when validated and would have costed us $2. That’s an annoying lack of information.

The perfect side car cocktail, while waiting for my take-out... (had the shrimp & grits - it was good, but not great)

Love this place , we had a good waitress, and the food was excellent. Great place to visit when you are in Atlanta.
