    We were in Atlanta for a cheer competition and decided to give it a try! SO glad we did! The fried green tomatoes were tooooooo die for! We also had Caesar salads. One with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken. Absolutely delicious. There was plenty of cheese and dressing on each serving so we didn’t have to ask for anything else! Also, get the sweet tea! I probably consumed my body weight in sweet tea there. Fantastic. Additionally, our waitress was WONDERFUL. Kind, thoughtful, accommodating. We didn’t have to ask for refills a single time as she was so on top of everything! Wonderful wonderful wonderful experience! 10/10, highly recommend!

    The only observation I would like to make, is for the restaurant to identify its gluten free options. Otherwise, the entire experience was enjoyable. Our waiter was top notch. I could tell he enjoyed the food he was selling at the restaurant. The food portions were absolutely worth the money. I had a great experience overall.

    I like South City Kitchen and it is typically one of my go to's. Although it was good, the service took longer and very little checking in and my go to appetizer was not as good.
