We expected nice southern food here but had a mixed experience and would not go back. Location was on a fairly quiet back street. Must have been a large home at one time. Decor was low key. We tried the She Crab soup as an appetizer. Very very good. And they served a selection of outstanding biscuits in a basket,... more

My husband and I dined here on a Friday night during a recent visit to Atlanta. We had an 8:30 reservation but arrived a little early and were seated by 8:20. Service at the bar during our brief wait was prompt and pleasant. We received a great table for 2 - upstairs on the rail where we could look down... more

Great ambience, great area, good food. Battered, fried southern style food. If you're not on a diet, it's wonderful. more

Ate there twice during a recent stay. Food is good with some interesting menu choices. Staff is very good and friendly. On the first trip we had a waitress( Laurie) who was far above average and extremely helpful in describing menu choices and even providing a soup sample in helping us make a choice. Good atmosphere and location (Walking distance... more

If you are looking for Southern cooking, done with some imagination and careful preparation, go to South City Kitchen -- the midtown location. This is a very amiable place, with gracious, helpful service. The food is quite good, as are the mixed drinks. I ate there twice on a four-day business trip, so you get the idea. more

We made a reservation for 7:45pm on a Tuesday night, and were seated right away. Our server Kevin seemed a little hyper but we were happy that our food came out so fast, within ten minutes. My wife and I both ordered the fried chicken, which was fantastic, but throughout the whole meal, Kevin was ready to pull our plates... more

This is a great location with great food. It is a higher end restaurant that is more expensive than the other restaurants on Cresent ave. I do recommend making a reservation to get a good table. The Shrimp and grits is amazing. I work nearby so I can walk to this restaurant. The only downside is that you might have... more

It was honestly the best food I had during my trip. I had the Ribs and they were tender and just fell off the bone. I only wish someone had food like this in my hometown. The waitress was kind and enthusiastic, great service! We even had our one year old there with us and since he was well behaved,... more

South City Kitchen had a nice atmosphere, and decent food - but I felt like the whole experience was incongruent. The cuisine and the atmosphere didn't mesh. It was also pretty pricey. more
