Inventive Southern classics with upscale brunch and dinner
"Midtown's South City Kitchen is an Atlanta classic because of its great Southern staples like fried green tomatoes, grilled pork chops, and crunchy fried chicken. The chicken comes with a very light seasoning and breading that isn’t too thick. Coupled with the complimentary basket of fluffy cornbread and moist biscuits, it's an anytime comfort meal in an atmosphere that fills with suits and casual groups at lunch and a more formally dressed crowd at dinner. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Pause Unmute" - Jacinta Howard
"South City Kitchen is a Midtown staple for Southern cuisine. Serving brunch, lunch, and dinner, this restaurant is known for classics like pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes with goat cheese, and sorghum glazed pork belly with pickled okra. And if you really want the the best of the best, order the Spring Mountain Farms Fried Chicken. The hearty portion of perfectly crispy and tender chicken comes served on top of collard greens and mashed yukon gold potatoes, covered with a honey-thyme jus. Fifth Group restaurants now has four locations of South City Kitchen in Midtown, Vinings, Buckhead, and Alpharetta." - Eater Staff
"The Midtown, Vinings, and Buckhead locations of South City Kitchen offer a prix-fixe menu Thanksgiving feast to include fried chicken and shrimp and grits, as well as turkey and other traditional dishes of the day. $79 a person and $39 for children. Reservations encouraged." - Eater Staff
"Being born and raised in Southwest Atlanta, I’m confident my ATL card won’t ever be revoked. Still, having never previously eaten at local fine dining institution South City Kitchen, a small part of me felt incomplete. The Midtown restaurant’s magnificent Carolina trout makes me feel even worse about the years of neglect. Tucked between a small bunch of tender collards (an asparagus substitute) and a tangy hazelnut pesto, two trout filets manage to stand out amongst all the green. The fish couldn’t have been charred any better if that was the chef’s lone job in life. Whipped potatoes, cornbread, and sweet-but-not-offensively-sweet tea perfectly round out a meal I’ve never had before but somehow came off warm and familiar." –DeMarco Williams, staff writer We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Crispy-edged cornbread muffins come free at South City Kitchen, which is great because they’re honey-sweet with a bouncy, moist interior. Order a peach mint julep too, and prepare to talk like Leghorn Foghorn for the rest of dinner." - jacinta howard, nina reeder, juli horsford
