Moe DexlerNovember 19, 2015Great food and atmosphere here. Eat upstairs, if you can; More private and more quiet.
Rick JohnstonAugust 14, 2013Can't beat the fried chicken and waffle. And the fried green tomatoes are the best I have ever eaten.
Ticket AlternativeJuly 13, 2013The must haves: she crab soup, fried green tomatoes, crab hash & the crab cake sandwich. Tasty!
Charlene ManuelAugust 1, 2014Order the fried green tomatoes. And the chicken liver. And the banana pudding. And a bottle of rose.
LilyAugust 10, 2016If you're going for weekend brunch, make a reservation in advance to avoid a 40min+ wait.
Jeremy PetersMarch 1, 2014Definitely get the Fried Green Tomatoes. Great on their own, but the red pepper coulis moves it into nearly sublime.
TamelaJuly 29, 2010Holy Cow, your Grandma would slap the cook the food is so good. Okra, fried chicken, butter peas, mashed potatoes, gravy...and Sweet Tea. A must-eat Southern Treat.
KevinApril 8, 2012First-timers shouldn't miss the cocktails, fried green tomatoes, pork belly appetizer, and desserts. #amazeballs
David BerkowitzMarch 24, 2012Try the Potato Dumplings - With eggplant, mushrooms and truffle essence, it's some of the best gnocchi I've eaten
Mitchell IyalekhueApril 4, 2017Chicken and waffles ... that Apple jelly is something else on the corn cakes
Anthony TaylorAugust 26, 2010The fried chicken was great, but the star was the light as air, but not like whipped cream Banana Pudding and the peachy Back Porch whiskey concoction. Loved it!
Oakland CemeteryNovember 4, 2010Crave from the Grave: Fried green tomatoes, buttermilk fried chicken, and some banana pudding for dessert makes this ol Southern spirit feel right at home.
Colleen BudgeOctober 1, 2013Chicken livers starter amazing, but VERY rich so choose an entree that won't be overpowered
Leslie CothrenFebruary 19, 2012The braised beef was so tender and delicious! The ham and cheese appetizer was out of this world!
B GoodeApril 28, 2013Attentive staff...should've tried the chicken, but the shrimp and grits were delicious!
ChevroletSeptember 21, 2010Southern food with a twist. Try the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and, of course, the buttermilk fried chicken!
Creative Loafing AtlantaMarch 8, 2011Midtown's original Southern fine dining struggles to keep up with the trend it created. Go for the pork shank with parsnip and celery root purée Read more
- Shelley RochesterAugust 16, 2010Another great find on our visit to ATL. The food was great and the staff was friendly. Totally family friendly environment.
Marlen M.July 7, 2017Couldn't have Sunday brunch there because the wait was about 2 hours. We just left and ended up going to Highland Bakery on 14th where there was no wait.
