South City Kitchen Buckhead

I'm in town for business and wanted to try some good southern cooking. I'm so glad my search led me to stop at South City. It truly lives up to the name earning my coveted "Certified Mad Good" rating. Now they were very busy during my visit, so I recommend making a reservation but it's well worth the trip.

We stopped in for dinner after the game and some shopping. It's always real relaxed with consistent good foo and drinks. Dim lighting, quiet chatter and a romantic setting is the vibe. Yasmine was very attentive and knew the menu, which helped us narrow down our options. Parking is very easy, which sounds strange being that it's right off Peachtree St. You pull in to the left of the building and you can either valet for super cheap or go to the parking garage which is down the same alleyway. It's definitely convenient.

We had the Steak & Eggs, Chicken & Waffles, Shrimp & grits and Breakfast salad. All the food was good. The steak was served with a chimichurri sauce, which was a great addition. The shrimp & grits were well seasoned and tasted great. Additionally, our server was very helpful and attentive. I recommend South City Kitchen.

Had a wonderful experience today at South City Kitchen Buckhead. The visit was for a company holiday luncheon. The server KEVIN was awesome. Kevin had a helper, but I did not get his name. Both were very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The food was great from beginning to end. Minor disappointments but nothing to take away stars. The pecan bar dessert was hard. I was only able to enjoy the inside. For my taste, the banana pudding was okay. I loved the attention to detail and smooth transitions from one course to the next. The timing was on point. Dinnerware and silverware were removed and replaced with each course. Top notch customer service. The appetizers before the first course were bite-sized crab balls and seared pork belly (don't knock it until you try it). The fried green tomatoes were fried perfectly . They were firm and not soggy. The first time, I had them fried with a thin layer of cheese. For the soup and salad course, I enjoyed the she-crab soup. Small portion, as it should be, but enough to enjoy. It came out warm, and it was very flavorful. My main entree was shrimp and grits. Seasoned well, not too salty, nice size and quantity of shrimp. I traditionally like smooth grits. These grits were a different texture, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all with a little left to take home. This review is my personal experience.
