    My friends and I had an amazing experience. Our waitress Bre was very personable, knowledgeable and funny. The drink Southern Draw was amazing and strong. The fried green tomatoes were my favorite. When in Midtown we will definitely visit again.

    We arrived for our reservations at the end of brunch on a Saturday and there was no wait to be seated. They have bar seating, patio dining, and an upstairs seating area. We ordered fried green tomatoes and crab cake as appetizers. Both were good with some unique ingredients. The fried green tomatoes had goat cheese inside and the crab cake had blackeyed peas. Unique but good. For our entrees, we all had fried chicken. One with pecan waffle, one with plain waffle, and the other with greens and mashed potatoes. Also had one side of shrimp and grits. All were delicious and I highly recommend anyone of the dishes. You can pay by scanning the QR code on the block on the table or ask for a receipt to pay in cash. There is plenty of parking at the parking deck beside the restaurant. The parking deck did not have an attendant and only accepted credit cards at the machine. I did not a driveway between the restaurant and the parking deck that may be for velvet or parking behind the restaurant. You will have to inquire.

    Such a great place. Traditional Southern hospitality and food. We always make a stop here when we are in Atlanta. Food is unique (fried green tomatoes, trout, etc). Not a cheeseburger place.

    A stylish yet welcoming take on Southern classics, where comfort food gets a refined twist. Perfect for brunch with friends or a classy dinner. Buttermilk Fried Chicken* (juicy, crispy, with a hint of heat—served with creamy mashed potatoes and collard greens), was beyond delicious. Friendly and knowledgeable—our server recommended the perfect drink pairing for the fried chicken. Weekends can get busy, so expect a short wait.
