    A few of us met up at South City Kitchen to eat before an event. The place was crowded and loud - both downstairs and upstairs. Our server was fantastic, constantly checking in and got us our food quickly. The drinks too a while, but apparently there was a backup at the bar. The food was a mixed bag - some was really good (fried green tomatoes) and others were just meh (spoonbread, pork belly.) My Country Thyme Lemonade (alcoholic beverage) didn't have much flavor and felt like a light pour.
