South City Kitchen Midtown

Always very good food and excellent service. Never disappointed in SCK and certainly never leave hungry.

First time in Atlanta, and boy did we get spoiled with some amazing food. FYI, when you want to know where to go... Uber drivers are great resources for good eating spots. That's how we found this place. Excellent experience from the start. It has a fun, lively atmosphere, especially indoors, and you can also be a little bit removed in the the outdoor patio (where we were). Firstly, the food - Incredible. You know you're going to get some rich food in the south, but here their ingredients are fresh and elevated. (By elevated, I don't mean They go crazy with fancy smoke or giving you 1 piece of okra with a butterfly's wing and call it art.... no no no, not here thank god) I mean that their Fried chicken is locally sourced, juicy as hell, and prepared with a lot of LOVE. I also recommend the Pork Belly App, Fried Green TOmatoes, and their Southern Caeser. And Secondly, The SERVICE - ACES!!! Kenya was the epitomy of southern charm and warm hospitality. She was engaging and actually cared (as opposed to plenty of CA joints where I live that ask with their heads down "whatdya want, Boss?"). No, Kenya took us through the menu and helped us have a lovely Atlanta Experience. Drinks, apps, offered dessert (which we didn't save space for). I almost loved the service more than the food, but in all, it was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to go back again. Thank you for really seeing us and bringing honor and care to the service industry.... (written by an ex-server and wine specialist of 20 yrs)

“SOUTHERN CLASSICS WITH A SOPHISTICATED SPIN" This was the restaurant I walked the length of Peachtree Street to get to and let me tell you, it was worth the effort. The food here was fabulous. I chose share plates so that my host and I could enjoy more than a one plate meal delivers. We had all the classics: pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes and fried chicken, finishing with the most iconic Southern dessert, banana pudding. While these are all standard Southern dishes, every one was elevated and beyond delicious.

I really want to love this place but I just was not impressed. The food was underwhelming. Service was pretty good overall but definitely overrated. I have had better fried chicken, greens and cornbread at home. Also tried the strawberry shortcake which is just biscuits whipped cream and strawberries.

This is a nice twist to southern food.

Best crab cakes around! Tasty she-crab soup and southern specialty items.
