Southern soul food with honey lemon pepper wings & gumbo
"Roc South became an instant success when it opened on Buford Highway in 2019. The honey lemon pepper wings here are great, but it’s the jasmine rice seafood gumbo, which also includes chicken and beef sausage, that steals the appetizer show. Diners at Roc South justifiably rave about the whole fried snapper and the lamb chop. The “southern fried”, hot-honey-glazed chicken stands out as a prime example of how to treat plated institutions of soul food with modern reverence through its beautifully stacked presentation." - Mike Jordan
"Opened in 2019 on Buford Highway, Roc South Cuisine serves a number of stand-out Southern and soul food dishes on the menu, like jasmine rice seafood gumbo with chicken and beef sausages, and fried snapper glazed in Cajun sauce. But make sure to order the fried chicken here, which is tossed in honey hot sauce. It comes served with a choice of two sides, including collards, yams, mac and cheese, and French fries. There’s also a hot honey fried chicken sandwich and fried chicken and waffles on the menu." - Eater Staff
"Likely best known for more popular dishes like honey lemon pepper wings, jasmine rice seafood gumbo, Southern fried, and hot-honey-glazed chicken, start off a meal at soul food restaurant Roc South Cuisine with the seafood egg rolls. The egg rolls come stuffed with cheese and a mixture of salmon, shrimp, and crab meat and are then tossed in lemon butter." - Beth McKibben
"The honey lemon pepper wings at Buford Highway Southern-soul food restaurant Roc South Cuisine are not to be missed. But make sure to also try the jasmine rice seafood gumbo with chicken and beef sausage. Other standouts on the menu include the whole fried snapper, lamb chop, and fried, hot-honey-glazed chicken. Order a batch of cornbread and seafood egg rolls for the table. The bread pudding is top-notch, too." - Eater Staff
"On Buford Highway near the infamous Pink Pony, I found a spot focused on Southern comfort food—think fried chicken and collards over sweet potatoes, casseroles of baked mac and cheese, gumbo, and big biscuits drizzled with honey." - Beth McKibben
