The Southern Gentleman is a Southern-inspired gastropub in The Buckhead Village District. The concept celebrates every aspect of what it means to be from the South with a fresh, modern take on traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The bar program explores the artistry and history of classic Southern cocktails—everything from barrel-aged cocktails to bottled libations to adult beverages on tap, along with New World wines and craft beers and the “perfect” mint julep.

The gorgeous top floor space in Buckhead Atlanta was designed by New York’s Lacina Heitler, and features classic, Southern touches done in surprising, modern ways: seersucker window treatments, tufted camel leather booths, vintage plateware, white marble countertops, vaulted ceilings, herringbone floors, dramatic chandeliers, complete with an oversized portrait of Mark Twain painted by a commissioned local artist.

    The food was phenomenal! The beans and rice dish was delicious, and the lemon dessert was a 10/10. The drinks were great, and the service was good. The manager checked in on us and was very attentive. My only suggestion is to inform customers when last call is. We made a later reservation since we live in Pacific Time, so we dined toward the end of the evening. I definitely recommend this restaurant—it’s a Buckhead staple!

    Better for dinner. Brunch was just ok, no biscuits or cornbread. Service could have been better. Our waitress was very pleasant but probably could have used more help.

    Wonderful restaurant that puts a spin on Southern tradition. The food is tasty and well seasoned. Some dishes weren’t as hot, but they all were good and portioned well. Appetizers: Fried Green Tomatoes, nicely fried with a good crunch and has a sweet taste with a brown sugar/maple coating. Didn’t care for the pimento cheese as much (8/10); Gouda Mac and Cheese is great. Thick and cheesy, no complaints (10/10). Entree’s— Buttermilk Fried Chicken, 2 boneless thighs (for my dark meat lovers). It comes boneless and is fried well, not greasy. The Sweet Potato Cornbread is a favorite, tastes like a moist cake. The collard greens are smoked, so if you don’t like a powerful punch of flavor it might not be for you. The atmosphere is intimate, but slightly noisy depending on the crowds. The lighting is very dim in the evening, so needed a flashlight to read the menu. Staff emphasizes “Southern hospitality” and will treat you like family and with respect. Great service overall.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 2 days ago
    We appreciate your insights, and we are pleased you enjoyed our staff and unique spin we put on Southern traditions. Our team strives to deliver well-seasoned dishes, and we take note of your comments regarding temperature. We’re glad the Fried Green Tomatoes and Gouda Mac and Cheese stood out for you. We will keep an eye on the lighting and apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you. We look forward to serving you again soon.
