Brought a friend visiting from out of town to dine at Georgia Brown's. I had eaten there before and enjoyed the food in years past and this time was no different. We both had the deliciously seasoned roast chicken and enjoyed!! Thank you!

Highly recommend Hen Quarter Prime. The service was excellent and the food was great. We tried the fried green tomatoes, oysters, deviled eggs and Caesar salad for starters. For entrees we had the steak, sea bass, and jerk bites. We really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is beautiful and the cocktails were also good. This restaurant is going into my regular rotation.
