North End Kitchen & Bar

I recently dined at North End Kitchen & Bar on Canton Street in Roswell and had such a solid experience from start to finish. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance between polished and welcoming, making it just as fitting for date night as it is for a relaxed dinner with friends. It feels elevated without being stuffy, which I always appreciate. The food really stood out. I ordered the blackened chicken jambalaya, which was full of bold flavor, and the handmade roasted butternut squash gnocchi with warm, nutty notes and delicate textures. From the regular menu, the Canton Street charcuterie, smokehouse sliders, and bone-in pork chop were all excellent, with the pork chop easily being the standout of the night. I also tried a seasonal cocktail called “Ain’t No Sunshine When It’s Red,” which paired perfectly with the meal, and finished with the handmade chocolate torte with strawberries that was rich but not overwhelming. Service was attentive, friendly, and well-paced. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure everything flowed smoothly without feeling rushed. Overall, North End Kitchen & Bar delivers great food, thoughtful cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d absolutely return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, elevated dining option in Roswell.

Shannon was our server, and she was excellent. Very, very friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu and its items. My wife and I were having a date night and we are very happy we came to North End Kitchen. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming. The greeters were friendly and inviting. The server was friendly and the food and drinks were outstanding. You will love this place!

I would recommend going here. The food was good and had a unique twist. The atmosphere was nice and service was great. I think seasoning on some of the food could be stronger that’s why I gave it a 4/5 but still good!

We had a superb experience at North End. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was incredible, and the vibe was on point. We were seated next to the fire pit outdoors on a clear and starry night and the ambiance was lovely. The patio was filled with guests who chatted with servers and management like old friends. We were visited by management and the chef and each of them Wanted our first visit to be perfect. The vitality in their collective spirit of hospitality and impeccable service made the experience even more welcome. They are doing something special there. The menu has great variety! We had friend green tomatoes which were some of the best I’ve ever had. We shared a pear salad with Gorgonzola cheese and it had so much flavor and balance. My dining partner had the best burger they e ever tasted-and we’ve had some burgers. My fish tacos were the stuff of dreams! I opted for the fried fish and the batter was so tasty and the fish pieces large and meaty-I crave them still. The flourless chocolate cake was a work of art. The cocktails were delicious. Such an impressive meal. We will be back.

My family loves coming here for birthdays and celebrations. The staff is great, the atmosphere is lively and fun. The food is always fantastic. We got the calamari, the charcuterie plate, and the Gouda fritters with pepper jelly to start. All are delicious and have nice portions. I got the Korean BBQ short rib for dinner. The portion was huge and the flavors were incredible. My dad is friends with the chef and so we got the key lime pie, the cookie pie and chocolate cake on the house for a birthday, all of which were delicious. Drinks kept coming and the pace of service is amazing. We love this place and will continue to come!

Our service was quick and pleasant. All of the food we ordered was fantastic! We came here for a birthday celebration, their service made it extra special!

took myself on a solo dinner date here tonight and absolutely loved every second. katelyn was fabulous (she told me she was new and i would have NEVER guessed). espresso martini was perfect, salmon cakes were flavorful and delicious, salad & shrimp alfredo were also awesome. (special shoutout to ricky in the kitchen) 10/10 service and food, excited to visit again!

Ambiance is GREAT! Staff is AMAZING & FOOD SPECTACULAR!! We were a party of 9 and were seated immediately. We did make reservations several days ahead of time. Sydney immediately engaged us, shared the specials, and answered all of our questions! Her energy was friendly, kind, and she was so engaging!! The pièce de résistance was when Chef Sam came to our table and engaged with us! He spoke to everyone about the different dishes and made great recommendations! Also, he was just so down to earth and cool! It really was an incredible and unexpected treat for my book club group!! EVERYTHING we ate AND drank was delicious! I ordered the Honey Panko Salmon w/ Lemon Risotto and the Blueberry Margarita! Both were superb!! For my appetizer, I ordered the Burrata Caprese! It was equally delicious! Others in my party, ordered the Bistro Chicken, Short Ribs, Salads, and Smash Burger! No one had any complaints. They said the short ribs and chicken were very tender and the burger was extremely juicy! All in all, we were all extremely pleased. One of my friends said they were going back the next day!! Lol!! We'll definitely be back! It was a phenomenal culinary experience! Oh BTW, they do have free valet parking on Saturdays, per their website! We got in early so didn't have to use it!

North End Kitchen has been on my list for a while because they have such a cozy and inviting patio. We finally made a reservation for our anniversary dinner, and we had a wonderful time. We sat on the patio next to the fire pit, and it created such a nice vibe. The inside of the restaurant is really nice too, and they have a bar that is both inside and outside. (There was a sign for a spot to order to-go cocktails from the outside). We shared a wedge salad, which honestly may have been our favorite thing and we've already talked about going back just for that! What made it stand out was the peppercorn ranch dressing and the fried onion rings on top. My husband had the French dip, which was delicious, and I had the shrimp alfredo. One of the top things to note is the excellent customer service. Many different staff members checked on us or chatted with us, and we noticed throughout the night that they knew some of the other customers. It truly seems like a neighborhood spot (which my husband and I love). I believe it was the owner who sent us a dessert for our anniversary, which was so kind (and delicious)!

What a cute and homey restaurant located right in the heart of downtown Roswell. We booked reservations to attend after Alive and Roswell and so glad that we did. They had beautiful music playing on the patio. Great customer service as soon as you walked in. For appetizer my sister had the muscles which was delicious and perfectly seasoned with this amazing curry sauce. So good we literally had to ask for bread to soap it up because it was so delicious. We both had the main burger which is two patties smashed style and it was perfection. I even had half the next day from the microwave and it was still delicious. The fries OMG so amazing. We both had this bourbon special old-fashioned drink with peach infused, so amazing and ended the night with a delicious Cabernet . Amazing restaurant amazing service and will definitely come back. It's definitely family friendly however, I would recommend a nice date night for the couple couples after 8 o'clock.

First things first... based on the photos that are currently here on Yelp, I had picked out 5 or 6 different dishes that looked really good to me. However, they change their menu regularly so none of these dishes that I was looking forward to, were on the menu now, but was a bummer. However, what I did order instead, was really yummy. My father ordered the Deep Fried Calamari to start. It came with a flavorful basil pesto that had a garlic kick to it. The calamari was perfectly fried - not overcooked like lots of places do. And, it married well with the pesto sauce, which was also different from most restaurants. Normally I wouldn't order or eat much calamari, but I might order this one again - especially if I am there with a group of friends. I started with the Fried Green Tomato Stack. I've been getting FGT at a number of different restaurants and while most are cooked the same, again, they do a slightly different twist on theirs which made them stand out. They were topped with pepper jelly, goat cheese, and what seemed like a balsamic vinaigrette which was a really nice combination of flavors. My main course was really special. I don't see it on their online menu, so I'm not exactly sure what they called it, but is was a piece of salmon on top of spinach, which was on top of a lemon risotto. It had a couple of cherry tomatoes on top and it was an unusually, but again, yummy combination of flavors that you don't usually see elsewhere. It was healthy, not too heavy, and each bite was enjoyable, which held my attention throughout the meal. My father got the fish tacos for his main, and while I didn't eat them while they were hot and fresh, I ate them cold a few days later and while I didn't have high expectations for them from the fridge, they were better than expected. The service was good and it had a friendly vibe, but it was a little loud in the restaurant so leave your hard of hearing parents at home for this one.

The outdoor patio is lovely and very welcoming, but the experience inside didn't live up to it. There was a noticeable, musty smell when we walked in that made the space feel more like an old college bar than a restaurant. We started with the brie appetizer. Unfortunately, the bread was stale and not even toasted, and the apples on the plate were mealy instead of crisp and fresh. It felt like something I could have thrown together better at home. We also ordered fish tacos and let our server know we'd be sharing them with our four-year-old granddaughter. The tacos arrived very spicy, with no warning about the heat level. Given that they knew a child would be eating them, a simple heads-up would have gone a long way. Beautiful patio, but overall the visit was disappointing

Cozy Atmosphere, Delicious Food, and Amazing Service! North End Kitchen in downtown Roswell is such a cozy, quaint spot--ideal for a laid-back yet elevated dining experience. We sat out on the patio, and it was perfect--peaceful, comfortable, and such a nice vibe for catching up over great food. Speaking of the food--it was so good! You can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients. What really made our visit stand out was our waitress, Telor. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. Great service always takes a meal to the next level, and she absolutely delivered. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot in Roswell--I'll definitely be back!

I've had North End on my list for a while but for whatever reason had never made it there. Located in downtown Roswell, North End is tucked away in a more quiet area and the restaurant was uncrowded inside when we visited on a rainy Sunday night. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant which North End shares with Gracious Plenty. We were really excited to try the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer but they were out so we instead tried the smoked Gouda fritters ($13), which were very good. My husband had the butternut squash ravioli ($21) and I had the honey panko salmon ($27). Both of these were delicious and I especially liked the Parmesan lemon risotto underneath the salmon. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My husband and I will definitely add this to our downtown Roswell restaurant rotation, and look forward to coming back to sit outside on the patio in the springtime.

Excellent ambience with a smart layout that makes the space feel bigger than it is. Love the bar setup with indoor/outdoor seating. The bartender was great, and the food was both creative and delicious. Can't wait to go back!

Excellent meal here this evening. We were able to take advantage of the weather and sit outside. I had the meatloaf with sweet potato mash, and fried onion rings - heavy and rich, but oh so good! Service was adequate.

Ambiance is GREAT! Staff is AMAZING & FOOD SPECTACULAR!! We were a party of 9 and were seated immediately. We did make reservations several days ahead of time. Sydney immediately engaged us, shared the specials, and answered all of our questions! Her energy was friendly, kind, and she was so engaging!!

North End Kitchen & Bar is a true gem! The food was flavorful and beautifully presented we loved the Fried Green Tomato Stack and the Short Rib French Dip. Every dish had a great balance of taste and creativity. Service was just as impressive friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. The staff made us feel welcome from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and upscale without being stuffy. Highly recommend for a great night out with amazing food and top-notch service!

My friend and I celebrated our birthdays here last night. We were very pleased with the great service, quality of the food and everything they did to accommodate our group and help make it a special celebration. We appreciated the 2 huge slices of cake they sent to our table with candles to sing Happy Birthday! They were delicious. Thank you!

Bartender was great as we got there late around 8 and starving. Got the short rib sliders and they were a little greasy but good. Definitely want to go back for happy hour.

Very good dinner! Everything was exceptionally tasty and fresh. We ordered 2 apps, 4 entrees. All of it delicious. Fried green tomatoes, the fall seasonal ravioli with mushrooms, lemon chicken, short rib French dip, and bacon wrapped meatloaf.

Our first visit, and we can't wait to go back. The drinks, service, the management and the FOOD was incredible. We are now fans!

This is a cute spot in downtown Roswell with a nice outdoor patio and valet parking. We got the calamari to start and the Ceaser salad. We didn't love the calamari as there were quite a few of the tentacles that no one ate. I would try the bacon wrapped shrimp or fried green tomatoes if we go again. The Caesar salad was good and I would get that again. I got the bistro chicken and enjoyed it with the Boursin mashed potatoes and micro greens. My husband got the pork chop with Brussels sprouts and apples and he liked it but would try something different next time. My one negative was that it was hot in the restaurant and this wasn't a very warm night. I would imagine it would be really uncomfortable during the summer if it was already hot on a milder night. I would be hesitant to come back before Fall since I don't like eating inside when it's warm.

I've already written a review for Noth End but it keeps getting better each time. Food & service was always good and each time we go, we are making this our go-to spot. As a manager, Adrian is terrific with both the patrons & the staff. Tyler was so attentive & kind & upbeat! When you call for reservations, they show their appreciation so you can see in advance, you'll have a great experience. Thanks again. This is the first time I've written a second review. It deserves all the stars!

We just went for dinner tonight for Roswell restaurant week.... I don't get to Canton Street that much, but I have to say I will be coming back to this restaurant again.. EVERYONE from the valet, the bartender, to the manager, to the hostess, to our server were phenomenal, and it was packed!!! Thank you so much for the calamari, the wonderful meal and FANTASTIC service!

My first time at North End and all I can say is SPECTACULAR!!!! Food is wonderful. Service Great. Chef came out and greeted us and checked on us several times. I will return. Wonderful Atmosphere. Thank You

Sat at the bar and had great service from Jackie to go with very tasty food and some very fun house cocktails

This place is located in suchhh a cute area! I love all the surrounding buildings and small town feel. It's very walkable and reminded me of Stars Hollow (where are my Gilmore Girl fans at?). The owner came out and chatted with us about her recommendations and she was so lovely. You could tell she really genuinely enjoys her job. The chef also came out to chat with us and we loved being able to rave about the pork chop we had. Seriously- so good The real star of the meal was the stack of fried green tomatoes. I would highly recommend and I'm not that into these usually. Overall we had amazing service and loved the intimacy of the space

What a fantastic meal!! We were impressed with the service as well as the amazing food. Had such a great experience. We will definitely be back. Great cocktail list as well!

Great patio with ample heating. Really good food. I've had the calamari and sweet potato burrata.

I can't believe it took me so long to go to this restaurant. Don't be fooled by its causal appearance- the food is EXCELLENT! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Roswell. We have tried the salad, the tomato soup, the vegetarian puttanesca and all were phenomenal. Also love the patio dining in the temperate fall and spring months.

My wife and I had a great dinner here last night. Very relaxed vibe, loved our food, service was terrific and everyone is friendly and seems well trained. And valet parking on weekends. What's not to like? The menu is diverse - plenty to choose from. Highly recommend.

The food was great and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend North End Kitchen.

Excellent all the way around. Started with an old fashion, which is one of the best in the city. Mains - SEARED SESAME AHI TUNA. The pickled vegetables were excellent. BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF. The brussels sprouts were spot on. Service was top notch. Pleasurable experience.

We were looking for a date night spot on a Wednesday night. I looked for spots on Yelp with a special. This spot popped up with good reviews and a half-priced wine special. We found a parking spot behind the restaurant and went in around 7 pm without a reservation. They put us in a nice spot near the door. The server was named Heavyn. She was very warm and knowledgeable about the menu/specials, etc. We got the Sam's Stuffed Chicken and the Mushroom Parpadelle. Both were excellent!! The chicken was moist and the risotto was creamy and decadent. The pasta dish was also fresh and creamy. It was very tasty. A manager introduced himself and when he learned we were first time visitors, he comped our dessert, an excellent chocolate cake we took home with us. This is an excellent spot for drinks and apps or a full meal. Prices are reasonable for the quality and the flavor. We'll be back!!

The food was so delicious and the service delightful. I may have to go back again tomorrow. Thank you Roswell restaurant week for helping me discover this lovely restaurant. Indoors has a mix of regular tables as well as high top seating, which is wonderful for a tall person, such as myself. Each dish made my taste buds sing, from the lovely pear salad, so the scrumptious beef Wellington to the absolutely delightful pear tart. Delicious. I shall return with immediate alacrity!

Exactly what you want in a dining experience, especially for a "nice night out" with coworkers and spouses. "Balanced" is perhaps the best word, whether describing the ambience, price, portion or the menu's ambitiousness (which include the cocktail menu). Service was equally as splendid. Needless to say, we look forward to returning again soon to explore more of the menu!

We enjoyed our meal at North End Kitchen and Bar. The cocktails were excellent. We shared a salad with grilled chicken, a delicious burger, and great Brussels sprouts! The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, and we could hear each other speak! We will be back!

Great food!! Everything was delicious and a very reasonable price! Service was great and nice outdoor seating with big heaters.

This cozy little spot is tucked away in the heart of Roswell. The host and server (and overall service) was pleasant; everyone was accommodating and kind. We arrived around 7p and it was pretty busy/ loud, so just something to consider if you're looking for a different atmosphere. The food was just ok. We ordered: - Fried green tomato stack: this was the best part of our meal. Well seasoned, loved the plating, and simply delicious. Also, the goat cheese was a plus! - North end salad with blackened chicken: pretty average; nothing exciting here. The chicken was really tough and not seasoned--I left it on the plate. - Honey panko salmon: my husband sent this back. It seemed to have a terrible smell to it. Didn't get a pic :/ - Soup of the day-Chicken tortilla: This was his choice to replace the salmon dish he sent back. He said it was a much better choice, but nothing to rave about. - Spicy marg: He said this was the best part of his meal. Overall, it's a very cute, nice restaurant. I was hoping the dishes lived up to their beautiful photography used on their website. Would I return? Maybe, to try something else. I'd also encourage anyone to check it out for themselves!

We stopped here after a day on the river and exploring the mill, and Vickery trail. We had a few shareable items - salmon poke, fried green tomatoes, and bleu and blue sliders plus a salad. All was so yummy. The hibiscus sangria was refreshing on a warm summer's evening. The service was full of Southern hospitality. Our server, Katelyn (sp?) a delight giving great info and recommendations. The atmosphere is relaxing. I highly recommend eating here.

I have never had a bad meal here, even when it was "Noca". I do like the new owner/manager better. Great for dine-in or take-out. For Roswell natives, it should be a go-to.

Great time with a party of 10. Food was good and we tried a lot between the ten of us. Service was good. One hole bathrooms are always a downer especially for the gals who ended up in the men's with a look out lol. Will go back someday.

Our service was excellent and the food was delicious. We were able to sit outside. We were able to enjoy kids playing on the lawn. Can't wait to go back.

Very cute spot with good service! Most of the food we had was exceptional as well, specifically the vegetable puttanesca, north end and Claudius salads, and tomato basil soup. Good portion size on the short rib. The only dish I wouldn't necessarily recommend is the salmon poke appetizer - flavors were tasty, but the salmon itself didn't have good texture. The wine list was pretty good, although I would love to see more international wine options. The cocktails looked fun (we only tried the white sangria this trip). Overall, we will be back!

So... I was so sad to Nocca close, but North End Kitchen is a fabulous replacement! Their outdoor seating ( with gorgeous fire table ) rivals anything on Canton street. Great menu, fun cocktails and FABULOUS service makes this place a 10! Oh don't forget the on-site FREE valet parking!

What a lovely little surprise! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at North End. Like a cat this eatery has had many lives but we are hoping this one will be around for awhile. The menu is diverse and the portions extremely generous. We had little hiccup when my husbands wedge salad wasn't delivered prior to his steak but the vigilant Chef Sam immediately caught the error and all was well in short order. They graciously comped us for the salad which is just one of the many reasons we will be back! The ribeye steak au poivre was cooked to perfection and the accompanying mashed potatoes were nothing short of divine. I highly recommend the Fried Green Tomatoes and the Sangria. Amy was our very attentive server and we look forward to seeing her in the near future as we return, bringing friends! Great job, North End!

Went to this place a few months ago for appetizers and it was great. Went there this evening and appetizers were sub par. Sausage on flatbread was spicy and tasted like it was from local grocery. CHARCUTERIE BOARD was half the size it was for the same price. Clams were ok.....Don't think I'll go back." For the price

Really good meal. The waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Our food was great and we barely scratched the surface of everything they have to offer. Definitely will be back! Side note: if you are from out of town or haven't frequented Roswell, the valet is complementary (free) if you are eating here.

Are here on a Saturday night. Thank goodness we got there early, this place was packed by the time we left at 8:30pm. We sat outside by the fire pit and it was a beautiful night. Our server was courteous and knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some good suggestions. I ended up having the Shrimp & Frits and it was fantastic. My wife had the Short Rib sandwich. She said it was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Great salad Great service Shrimp and grits that looked like vomit, and tasted like super spicy chili

First of all we couldnt find parking although half of their parking lot is reserved for valet parking. I guess if you want to have dinner here, be ready to pay for valet parking. We arrived at 5:45pm just for reference. We finally found the entrance which wasnt clear since next to the restaurant is a bakery, and there stood three people looking at us expectantly like we were there for anything else but to dine. So hubby finally said table for three. All three start looking down at the screen. It seemed like they were trying to work out a mathematical equation. It was getting awkward and finally the guy, maybe manager, says yeah did you have a reservation? I knew it was going down hill from there, so I turn around and get ready to leave because in my head Im trying to think did I end up in Buckhead Atlanta and my navigation messed it up! No we re in Roswell and its almost 6 and no reservation! So moral of the story, stay in Kennesaw or Downtown Woodstock if you want to try something different without a reservation.

Great apps & entrees. More casual than expected and with younger children. Would come back again.

Nice outdoor patio area with some fire places for warmth. Menu was interesting- American but with a twist and a few special not traditional items. There being said I had the cheese burger and fries. It was a smash burger and a pretty large portion. They had lots of nicer things too, a bar and an extensive drink menu as well I didn't try. The patio allows dogs.

I absolutely love the staff and amazing food at north end! It's the best place I've sang at in a while! Make sure you try the French dip and calamari!

Great food, good drinks, friendly staff, very nice atmosphere. Not crowded on a Sunday evening.

I thought it was fantastic. They didn't just simply change the name of the restaurant here but they made a new menu that is so much better. The whole experience was just so much better. The best thing we ate here was the salads. They were unique and memorable. I can't remember the last time I had a salad that stood out as much as these. I started with the North End Salad. The great thing about the salad and really a good indication of a quality restaurant is that each individual component of the salad was delicious and could be enjoyed on its own. The salad mix itself was a quality artisan mix with lots of unique lettuces, it had colorful heirloom cherry tomatoes that were exceptionally sweet as tomatoes should be, the charred corn was perhaps the best part and was delicious and finally, their peppercorn ranch might have been the best salad dressing I ever had. Nice fat content without being too thick and the perfect earthy brashness of pepper without being overwhelming. I don't even care if they bought it this way, it's the best salad dressing I ever had.  For my main, I had the pork chop. It was a generous portion and cooked perfectly. An excellently juicy and tender cut of pork. The sides were pretty amazing too. They had mashed potatoes with a Boursin cheese and Brussel sprouts with bacon and honey. Two things that aren't entirely unheard of but the way they did the mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts I could have had those as mains. They were incredible.  As far as the service goes the waiter we originally had was not good. Rather, he had more tables than he could handle. However, as we began to wonder if he was going to come back to our table to take our order the manager or perhaps the owner came over to see if we were ok. When we said we were ready to place our order he took it which was an amazing show of hospitality. We only saw our waiter one more time but the manager checked back in so often we felt we had great service.  Overall I loved our visit here and the food was fantastic. I can't wait to come back.
