Would’ve gotten 5 stars but it’s tacky to charge $2.79 to pay via QR code. Either offer it for free or don’t offer it.

First time eating/ordering Thanksgiving dinner for pickup and I must say the food was quite tasty and delicious! Order pickup was well organized, accurate and timely. Heating instructions provided were easy to follow and accurate. Food portions as described were accurate with definitely enough for another complete and filling serving. Would I order again for another occasion…..ABSOLUTELY YES!! Thanks South City Kitchen of Vinings, you did not disappoint!😉

This was definitely one of my best experiences yet! It was a huge improvement compared to my last visit. Your waitress- Taeja’s service made all the difference—her knowledge of the menu and expertise with Fifth Group really stood out. We’ll definitely be back to celebrate more special occasions!

Our server was exceptional. Noticed she was working at least 3 tables, which included one large party of 10 or more, by herself. She was courteous, professional, and efficient. We were extremely impressed and pleased to have such an excellent experience because of her and excellent food

We hadnt been to South City Kitchen for a very long time and decided to try it again. Our server, Ross, was outstanding and the food came out of the kitchen very fast. Loved the trout!. We lingered at the table after dinner and didn't feel at all rushed to leave so they could turn over the table. The restaurant was busy but the noise level was low and made it easy to have a conversation. The only drawback was I ordered the house wine and was charged $18.00 for the glass. I think it was a mistake but we didn't question it at the time. Next time, we will make sure to know what the charge for the glass will be!

I completely understand. We do offer other white wines by the glass that cost less. I really do appreciate you letting me know so I can address this with the servers. Have a great day!

Great food, service and ambiance! We were a group of six, in the area for a meeting, and were very well fed and looked after. Our server Kayla listened to our preferences, and made great suggestions from the menu. Our food came out quickly, and was hot and delicious. An excellent restaurant choice… highly recommended!
