Humble foods with a surprising sophistication are exactly what South City Kitchen Midtown fries up daily. The buzz of Atlanta and the warmth of Southern hospitality combine to convey the story of the new South. As you’re welcomed around the table, their exhibition-style kitchen prepares elevated down-home classics, like she-crab soup, fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and buttermilk fried chicken that has found itself in Yelp’s Top Five Best Fried Chicken in the nation.

    Great slice of southern cooking. We sat upstairs and it was very loud due to the architecture and energetic crowd. Nice selection of craft cocktails, fun spoonbread and pimento cheese apps and delicious trout entree. Fun find in the city.

    My wife and I hadn't been to SCK in years. As part of a date night for going to the Fox Theater, we made reservations to enjoy dinner at SCK. The food was excellent, the menu had a wide variety of great options, the flight of Buffalo Trace whiskies were phenomenal, and the great atmosphere was the same as our previous visits. The fried chicken dinner was prepared to a level where it was described as "Best Fried Chicken" in the city. We agreed. We will be returning soon to dine again at SCK during our next visit to the Fox to try some of the other great menu offerings.

    Tremendous brunch at South City Kitchen Midtown. Everything we ate was excellent starting with the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer - try them! Wonderful service made for a great brunch in Atlanta! Finish off your meal with the banana pudding for sure. Thanks!

    Been to this location several times and will keep going back. Friendly and competent staff from hostess to servers. We were not rushed, although they were very busy on a Friday at lunchtime. Food was served in a very reasonable amount of time. Fried green tomatoes were good but a little on the greasy side for my taste. Salad was fresh and chicken cooked and seasoned perfectly. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great place!

    I'm traveling this end of the week and dove into South City kitchen for a quick lunch before hitting the highway again. Lunch was fantastic. I had the sheet crab soup and the salmon salad and was very satisfied. My server was excellent and made sure everything was perfectly prepared. Can't wait to go back

    Always a great experience at South City Kitchen, proud to treat visitors to Southern cooking at its best! Only annoyance was the pitch for a charitable donation when the bill came.
