Excellent fare at this Midtown location. Tasty menu, great service & beautiful location. I enjoy the assortment of craft cocktails, new patio & open floor plan. Friendly neighborhood spot. Valet too.
Cristian LöfvallOctober 28, 2017It is a cool spot, nice vibe, and cool ambiance. It's a nice restaurant with a chill bar, good for a date or for pre-gaming. The drinks really depend on the bartender, and the one we had was excellent
David TaylorOctober 31, 2015So the fries are amazing!! The Lawrence burger is unparalleled. Not over done or sloppy, a very nice mix of flavor and texture. #Perfection!
Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Mixologist Eric Simpkins was serving the bar and stirred together a Lady Lawrence, a light and spring-appropriate cocktail that balances out the sweetness of crème de cassis with tea-infused vodka. Read more
Manuel Ernesto AlmaguerFebruary 25, 2018Great place for dates or hang out with a friend for a good conversation, cocktails are very good and delicious food, I got the pork ribs, very tasty!!
Petra MildeAugust 5, 2018Highly recommend the Lawrence: Excellent food, fantastic cocktails, great atmosphere, play full and engaging staff - our favorite restaurant in Atlanta.- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014The atmosphere feels polished without being shellacked of character, swank without being anywhere near stuffy, thankfully less noisy than the Midtown norm without being quiet.

Rachel MeattoNovember 7, 2015Shrimp and grits are amazing!!! So is the steak. Best food in midtown so far....This place is so awesome and reasonably priced. You must go !!!
Evi Christodoulou WommackDecember 22, 2014Sunday night burger and brew: beer is half price with the purchase of a burger. The Provence was a good choice and the lady Lawrence is a great drink too!- The cantaloupe gazpacho is out of this world, as is the "fish in chips"! And don't miss the Lady Lawrence, best drink in town. Chef is cute too.
Marcelo EstradaJuly 12, 2015Great place for brunch al fresco with friends. All egg dishes are great and the house Bloody Mary is to die for.
Terry OlaesJuly 14, 2015Fantastic wine list and interesting cocktails. Super friendly and hip staff made us old fogies feel great.
Erin GlennApril 12, 2013the frisée salad with bacon and egg is amazing, as are the scallops. the waitstaff is happy-- no eager-- to explain everything on the menu.
Jennifer PearsonMarch 11, 2017The Shrimp tacos with guacamole were really good! Nice ambiance and staff. Would come again for sure.
The Potted Shrimp is amazing! Fish sticks are a must have as well! The Poussin is my fav Large dish! EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious!
Jasmine LarrySeptember 11, 2017Very nice set up. Small and intimate space. We went for brunch everyone enjoyed everything.
Jackie SmithSeptember 19, 2016Very nice quaint spot in downtown Atl. Patio seating is fab, on a nice day!- I had the strip and it was really excellent. Don't just think "steak" in the traditional sense. Beautifully sliced and presented.

Love the atmosphere. Old school music. Good music. Nice patio dining.
ARthur BRuceNovember 18, 2017Chicken and waffles. The chicken was great very well seasoned, very juicy!
Chuck PetersMarch 24, 2012You must try the pig ears...it may not sound appealing, but the taste will blow your mind. Btw...it's deep fried, so no need to worry about texture.- Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 17, 2012Around the time of my second cocktail, I finally relaxed and let myself accept the fact that the hype is more or less on point for the Lawrence.

Drew HawkinsDecember 29, 2012Get the Chef's table if you can. Less noise, quicker service and fun to watch the kitchen in action
Mike WeaverOctober 14, 2012If you want a good drink & like your classic cocktails, try their Old Fashion. They know what they're doing...
Christina JohnsonAugust 3, 2012I'm NOT the tofu type, but the Salt & Pepper Tofu was insanely delicious! Give it a chance...you won't regret it.
The Bite Life www.thebitelife.comMay 26, 2012The Crispy Pig Ears are dope! You gotta try em! Don't let the name throw you off. They're more like potato chips.
Nagzah AliJune 8, 2012Fried green tomatoes are excellent! Get several small plates and split amongst the table.
