    Tremendous brunch at South City Kitchen Midtown. Everything we ate was excellent starting with the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer - try them! Wonderful service made for a great brunch in Atlanta! Finish off your meal with the banana pudding for sure. Thanks!

    Been to this location several times and will keep going back. Friendly and competent staff from hostess to servers. We were not rushed, although they were very busy on a Friday at lunchtime. Food was served in a very reasonable amount of time. Fried green tomatoes were good but a little on the greasy side for my taste. Salad was fresh and chicken cooked and seasoned perfectly. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great place!

    I'm traveling this end of the week and dove into South City kitchen for a quick lunch before hitting the highway again. Lunch was fantastic. I had the sheet crab soup and the salmon salad and was very satisfied. My server was excellent and made sure everything was perfectly prepared. Can't wait to go back

    Always a great experience at South City Kitchen, proud to treat visitors to Southern cooking at its best! Only annoyance was the pitch for a charitable donation when the bill came.

    My first time at South City Kitchen. They opened on time and warmly greeted and seated us even though we were 45 minutes early! No push to "sit at the bar". Our server was gracious. The food was good. The biscuits were a little salty and the collard greens had too much vinegar. The cocktails were great! Not excellent--but, Overall--a good experience.

    What they do with their chicken livers is dance with them. I don't remember the other ingredients, but I slurped [in a gentlemanly manner] those livers down. The duck confit with andouille sausage was also amazing.
