This place has a very nice ambiance to it. The staff was very welcoming and respectful of our time limit. The biscuits we started with were super light and fluffy. I got the fried chicken which was nice and moist, the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious and the greens had great flavor as well. My husband got the pork chop, it was a little dry but the flavor was great. We tried the banana pudding trifle for dessert and the texture was super creamy and thick, we loved it. This is a really nice place to try out!

Good dinner. Great service! Our server Andrew made this an all around enjoyable experience from start to finish. Seated and served immediately, the appetizers were the Nola BBQ shrimp and the Fried green tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were the star of the meal by far. We’re already planning our next trip back just to have them again. The shrimp and grits were complimented, as well as the springer hill chicken plate. The drinks were a little light but still a great dinner.

Well this is definitely a must try when in Atlanta. South City Kitchen has a menu that is focused on southern cooking but has creative ways of preparing them offer all guests something they will say ” Wow, this is amazing”. We tried bunch small plates like fried green tomatoes, chicken livers, pimento dip, peach salad and for mains had the best fried chicken and collard greens I can ever remember having. The drinks were a very nice addition and especially loved the one that tasted like a boozy chocolate milk!!! Trust me you get out and enjoy and support local restaurants like this!!!

Was in town on business and chose to eat here. It’s a house converted into a restaurant. They did it well and has a lot of windows to keep an open feel.

South City Kitchen serves a fantastic brunch! We were able to be seated right away at 10 am opening time, but it did get busy very quickly!

Great place for my birthday dinner! Fried chicken was very flavorful and tender. Collards and mashed potatoes were also top tier. Free biscuits and cornbread were impeccable. Cornbread had a nice balance of sweet and savory; biscuits will literally melt in your mouth. Some more sweetness would’ve brought them to the next level though, so maybe request some honey to go with them. Banana Pudding was a nice surprise. Very tasty, but when is banana pudding ever not good?

I recently visited South City Kitchen in Midtown Atlanta and had the pleasure of trying their pimento cheeseburger. Let me just say, it was amazing! The burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the pimento cheese added a delicious tangy kick to each bite. The fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly as well. The restaurant itself had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the service was excellent.

Very nice atmosphere. Didn’t have to wait to be seated. Did outdoor dining. The strawberry salad was amazingly good, along with the soup that has crab. The fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens was done to perfection. When I return, I will definitely be going back to get the salad and soup.

If you’re looking for a taste of the South with great service and quality food, it’s hard to go past South City Kitchen! I highly recommend the Duck, which fell off the bone perfectly.. The venue features a boutique wine list, interesting cocktails and delicious iced tea.. it’s an all round winner!
