One Flew South is an upscale Southern and Japanese fusion gem in Atlanta's airport, serving innovative dishes like sushi and an iconic BLT, making it a must-visit for travelers.
"We’d rather drag a broken roller bag down Peachtree than fight families for a gate seat, which is why we just hit One Flew South if there's extra time before departure. Plus, drinking sake while pretending to forest bathe in floor-to-ceiling imagery of lush green trees beats any fancy lounge pass. Since 2009, the Asian and Southern fusion restaurant has had people reconfiguring their flight schedules for a taste of their internationally-famous dishes (they’re now on the Beltline, too). The sushi offerings are first-class, especially since they get multiple weekly fresh fish shipments. The venue also offers creative dishes like soy and ginger-marinated tuna jerky and the best burger in the entire airport." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"One Flew South offers a reprieve from the airport congestion with a private dining space and sushi bar.

"Washington and Nutter, both of whom are veterans of the airport restaurant scene, started their partnership in 2008 with One Flew South, which was nominated twice for Outstanding Service at the James Beard Awards. One Flew South — popular for its “elegant inspired Southern food” such as the BLT & E, a breakfast dish featuring Benton's Bacon, pickled green tomatoes and curry mayonnaise — became so well-known that airport executives worldwide flew to Atlanta simply to watch them in action." - Micheline Maynard
"James Beard-nominated restaurant known for its reliably good airport sushi located in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Concourse E."
