Citizen Soul

My friend & I visited this Restaurant for the first time & we thought that the food was amazing. The food was fresh, didn’t take long to arrive to our table & our Waiter Andrew was amazing! We both got the same dish which was the Gluten Free Fried Chicken which came with grits & green beans. Everything was delicious!

For a local restaurant, very nice and considered good value by locals except for the wine offering which is expensive. The food was mainly good but my short rib was unseasoned but my wife's was well seasoned! Service was ok but nothing special. The environment was typical!

We had another great visit to Citizen Soul. I went with my husband, and we both enjoyed our meal and drinks. I ordered an espresso martini and asked for a splash of Baileys, which made it creamier and slightly sweet, but still nice and strong. My husband ordered his drink neat. For food, we shared the charcuterie, pimento cheese fritters, brussels sprouts, and braised short rib empanadas. Everything was delicious overall. The empanadas were flavorful and well-seasoned, though I would have liked a bit more meat inside and a flakier pastry. The brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly, and the addition of pork belly added a delicate, rich touch that I really enjoyed. The fritters were insanely delicious. They have this weird, but satisfying “cheese wiz” flavor, but I promise, the flavors work so well together! The charcuterie board was great, but I was surprised that it didn’t include cheese automatically. You have to order the fromage separately, which I wish had been included. I also would have liked a few more condiments on the side to balance the flavors. You can really feel Chef Sean Clark’s creativity and vision in the menu. The bar service was a highlight as well—the bartender was welcoming and ensured we had a hospitable experience. The service felt genuine and attentive, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. This was our second visit, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again.

Cozy modern pub with southern inspired food restaurant in downtown Alpharetta. They have special menus that is not listed on the menu which our server kindly went over all and they also offer Saturday only lunch menu. My favorite dish was spiced braised duck that serves with crispy Brussels sprouts with sweet potato puree. All the combination of flavor and texture was just perfect and comforting. Also I really enjoyed scallops potatoes with hint of rosemary and crisp leak was a such a good side dish for other main dish such as salmon and steak. Most of their menu is gluten free and our server said that they only use fresh local ingredients. They have plenty of sitting inside and outside patio as well. Only downside is the parking. Since this restaurant is in the middle of downtown Alpharetta it was such a hustle to finding a parking on a Saturday.

I was really torn on what to order but landed on the spiced duck confit since it seems to be a popular main.. I wasn't disappointed. The duck was absolutely delicious, so juicy, and the swt pot puree and brussels served alongside were seasoned perfectly. Sampled the pork tenderloin, wasn't crazy about that- little dry. One in our party ordered the gluten free fried chicken & they were raving about it.. tried the braised short rib and that was delish...For appetizers we ordered shishito peppers, the burrata (omg it was phenomenal and was like eating heaven) and the short rib piquillo peppers. Wait staff were super attentive and helpful..nice ambiance in the restaurant. Would definitely go back to try more of the menu 💕

Great place to get some unique & tasty food. The pimento cheese fritters as the appetizer are out of this world. We highly recommend those. Our entrees were the fried chicken and the short rib. Both had a nice presentation and sides. We added a side of scalloped potatoes which were delicious. The atmosphere in the exterior dining area was great. It was very relaxing with good views. The service was very attentive. We will definitely return.

We had the best time here. The service was top notch. Not only were our meals outstanding, they were beautifully presented.

I recently dined at Citizen Soul, and overall, it was a great experience, though not without a few hiccups. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a vibe that seemed to cater more toward a middle-aged crowd. The food was mostly fantastic! The pimento cheese fritters with jam was an absolute standout—perfectly crispy and paired so well with the sweetness of the jam. The shishito peppers were delicious, and the beet salad was fresh and delightful. I also had one of their mules, and it was super refreshing, just the kind of drink I’d come back for. That said, the shrimp entrée was a letdown—bland and not up to the standard of everything else we tried. Our server wasn’t the friendliest, but they were very efficient and kept everything running smoothly. I’d definitely go back to try more of their menu because the hits far outweighed the misses!
