Katie WaldenApril 19, 2016Everything here is delicious! Start with the fried chicken skins and marinated mushrooms and have a plate of fried chicken and collards with fresh, hot biscuits!
EaterJuly 30, 2012The restaurant has items that conjure up South with a twist, deviled eggs & pork belly w/ clams & all kinds of poultry: fried chicken, hot chicken oysters, chicken liver mousse, ect. [Eater 38 Member]
Great combination of southern hospitality and refined cuisine. Some of the best dining experience so far in ATL. Solid French inspired fare with local twists. And on top of this, service is great, too
PerceptusOctober 26, 2016Appart from the great food, the two best things about this place is the bread and special butter they serve as an amuse bouche and the cute decor, giving a trendy and yet cozy feel.
Akshay PatilDecember 4, 2016Sundays they do a special family-style dinner, so show up with a big group for some of Atlanta's best fried chicken (according to Robert, the guy I chatted with while watching the Falcons @the Albert)
Drink a couple Kentucky 75's. Order some oysters. Indulge in some fried chicken or some dumplings. And make sure to get some dessert. One of the best places in Atlanta!
Comfort ShafackFebruary 12, 2016The food was amazing and prices were very reasonable. Everything is made fresh so there is a bit of a wait. However, they give you bread and butter while you wait. The butter is the BEST I had.
Chris GoldenAugust 13, 2017Heirloom tomato salad was incredible. Vegetable plate was filling. After dinner, go to Marcels across the bridge. The share a GM (Luke) and Marcels turns into a late night speakeasy at 11pm
Val DouisDecember 30, 2016Wow. The deviled eggs are a must topped with pursuitto de Parma. Also the lobster roll which consists of a whole chicken lobster in a toasted and buttered bun. Had to share with whole table😎
Meredith BlechmanFebruary 23, 2015One of Ford Fry's greatest. The fried chicken is delish, but there is lighter fare that is equally great: fish of the day, puréed veggie soups. Just don't forget the truffle fries.
Kingsley YoungerJuly 1, 2015The pot roast of short ribs looks absolutely amazing! It is braised overnight from apple cider and cider vinegar. And you can pick your vegetable sides.

Brittany BeisnerDecember 7, 2016Go with a friend so that one of you can order the fried chicken and the other can order chicken and dumplings so you can have the best of both worlds
Sofia FigueroaFebruary 27, 2016Sunday Supper $26! Tons of great food (biscuit, deviled egg, salad, meat, three sides & a pie). Get fried chicken & fast before you go!
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesFebruary 22, 2013While a meal in the main dining room certainly is memorable, I prefer to hang out upstairs in the outdoor seating area noshing on Angry Mussels and Truffle Parmesan Fries.
Aubra FNovember 5, 2014Fantastic fried green tomatoes. Not greasy, & tomatoes were firm. Pimento cheese on it was excellent, & I'm not even a pimento cheese fan. Good hot sauce, too.
Tasting TableMay 4, 2012Try their refreshing take on the lobster roll. Pieces of steamed Maine lobster, gently seasoned with house-made mayo, lemon and a bit of shallot and chive. A contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more
John Pruitt 👍July 14, 2012I have been enjoying dinner here for the last few years. It truly is great for just popping up for a casual dinner to a more formal dinner - it just works! I will be back.
Judy HarrisSeptember 26, 2013Sunday dinner was wonderful as always but Coca Cola cake disappoints. Fried chicken and creamy whipped potatoes are fabulous as is the roasted corn on the cob and heirloom tomatoes.
Brent FedorMay 13, 2013The pork belly sandwich with pickled green tomato and pork rinds was Fourgasmic. The sandwich had the perfect portion of tender rendered belly, slaw dressing, tomato, and cracklin's.
Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 20, 2012Standouts include fried oysters over creamed spinach and killer desserts such as the dreamy tapioca pudding. Gracious service and a good wine program make up for the occasional misstep in the kitchen. Read more
Dan SohaydaFebruary 25, 2017Very dark atmosphere but quality food and friendly staff. Good if not small craft beer selection as well.
Leah DixonJune 16, 2012Everything here is amazing. The fried chicken always sells out early. My favorite place in Atlanta by far! Bar upstairs has STRONG drinks and live music!
Try the Lobster Roll (Sandwich) - Gorgeous, butter-toasted golden brown H&F bun, stuffed with perfectly cooked, sweet meat from a 1.25 lb lobster, barely dressed with mayo, lemon, shallots, herbs. Go
Sade AmericaSeptember 23, 2016Love this place great atmosphere drinks were awesome. Had the fried chicken and greens which were amazing.

Bon Appetit MagazineMarch 30, 2011To enjoy their outstanding lobster roll served with slaw and fries takes a bit of planning—it's offered only at lunch on Friday and Saturday. Trust us, it's worth the wait... Read more
AmandaMay 22, 2018Little more than what I wanted to spend but food was fabulous! Service great! Nice atmosphere.- Jonathan SnookNovember 10, 2016The burger was top notch. Very tasty. The truffle fries were quite delicious too. The main room gets quite loud when full.
Marcelo EstradaNovember 30, 2014The daily specials are to die for. I had the Mahi Mahi with roasted beet purée and wilted kale. Bliss!
A lot of tips here... I followed most of them. Deviled Eggs, Angry Mussels, Fried Chicken and Fried Pies... all with fabulous wine. Even a little Ice Wine from Idaho. Absolutely Fabulous! ... and

MeganMarch 13, 2021The fried chicken was really nice! Recommend an extra side dish though as the whipped potatoes is a very small portion.

J.Legacy HodgesNovember 29, 2016Loved this place. Great decor and food. Fried chicken and biscuits are so good.
Anthony TaylorAugust 27, 2010Check it. California Dude had the Crispy Duck and Dumplings, The Hemingway Dacquiri and the George Fried Peach Pie. KILLER GOOD! Best food in Atlanta since I've been here...which has been 3 days.- Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 30, 2012JCT. Kitchen has won many accolades for its fried chicken. It's sure to note on the menu that it's only available in limited quantities. JCT uses Springer Mountain Farms chicken. Read more
Noemi RamosOctober 23, 2013The wood grill chic sandwich with a garden salad and the Tempranillo El Coto Crianza, 08, Rioja ... Very good !
Mark SchwartzmanFebruary 20, 2014They don't serve fried chicken in the upstairs bar area. Slightly disappointing but made up quickly by the deviled eggs, devils on horseback (get these!), and mussels.
Tom JMarch 13, 2012Imbibe Magazine recognized JCT Kitchen & Bar for pouring some of the Best Contemporary Cocktails in the South in their March/April 2011 Southern Issue.
