    Our server was Autumn and she was wonderful. She was attentive without hovering. She was passionate about the food and everything she explained we ordered…she made it sound so delicious. Fried green tomatoes and the trout dip appetizers were great to start. 2 of us ordered the pork chops and 3rd person got the fried chicken (you can never go wrong with the fried chicken). The noise level was high and we found ourselves leaning toward each other to hear. Overall it was a great experience and my friends and I didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed ourselves. Recommend the restaurant.

    The food was very good. Had the trout and the fried chicken. The star, however, were the biscuits! OK, simple pleasures! However, it gives an idea of the attention to detail. Fish was perfectly cooked. It's delicate and easily overcooked. Not here. Skin was crisp. Vegetables were crisp. Mashed potatoes were very good. Personally, I like a lump or two to confirm they are real. Smooth as silk otherwise. You won't be disappointed if you visit.

    The food and service is always amazing at South City. Try the fried green tomatoes! The way they prepare it is unique and worth the trip just for that appetizer.

    Great first experience at SCK, before seeing Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra at Atlanta Symphony Hall. I had the Carolina Trout and my fiancée had the Shrimp and Grits. We shared Strawberry Rhubarb pie for dessert.

    Delano is a great server!! That Sandwich and the frittata were enjoyed by my friends. I had the Brisket Benedict. Great concept, delicious flavors, but the promised poached egg was hard boiled. Unfortunate.
