First visit to Southern Bistro on a random Saturday for lunch/brunch. The restaurant is comfy and inviting with nice decor and white table cloths. Our server, Levonne, was friendly and helped to make our experience wonderful. The food was excellent! We will definitely come back for more!

Went for lunch with my wife and son. She liked her dish of grilled salmon - my burger was small patty on bun and fairly bland. The fish tacos were also bland and unimaginative. The crowd was older woman. Service was great, but my son and I really didn't like the food.

I've frequented this location across ownership and name changes, yet I've always had reliable meals here. All of Southern Bistro's dinner entree options are legit, and they also have daily specials that are pretty good. Warning: The Prime Rib special on Saturdays is pretty large!

The house cocktails are also good here, and the small bar is typically crowded and lively.

Some of my favorites include the chopped steak, short rib, and Georgia Rainbow Trout. If you can handle a little bit of desert, opt for the homemade warm poundcake w/ ice cream. You will not be disappointed.

Southern Bistro prepared a plate of good Southern fried chicken features a piece with an incredibly crisp, golden-brown crust that shatters to reveal tender, juicy, and well-seasoned meat. It is perfectly complemented by a generous serving of fluffy, rich, and creamy mashed potatoes, often served hot and savory brown gravy on the side. Green beans and deviled eggs where very good also.

Seems to be going through a bit of a branding shift as the prominent sign is Bistro Chastain. This was my 1st visit, just ok, seems to be a regular spot for locals. More of an older crowd. Food was southern country with an upscale flare. Yeast rolls are worth an order. Food was as described and service was attentive.

Southern Bistro is that magical place where you find neighborhood charm, congenial staff, warm ambience and delicious food. This is the best hamburger in all of Atlanta. The nightly specials, from Low Country Boil to Prime Rib, are amazing. All at reasonable prices. Excellent wines, brunch Bloody Marys and cocktails, and the perfect, L-shaped bar in the back when you want a great drink and a place to chill. This is the place to be in Sandy Springs.

Just had lunch. Food wasn’t bad. The hostess has a nasty attitude. I was waiting for someone I haven’t even met before and just wanted to check if there was any waiting time. The hostess then tried to sit me down, but I explained to her that i was just checking to see if there’s a waiting time and preferred to wait for my party outside. She rolled her eyes at me in such an unnecessarily stuck up manner.
Then when my party arrived, we walked in and there was nobody up front and plenty of open tables, so we went and sat by the window.
The hostess came back and lectured us about waiting to be seated next time as she handed me a menu with crumbs still on it. Very rude and unprofessional.
Whatever is going on in her personal life should be left at the door if she’s going to work in the service industry. Her entire vibe was rude and obnoxious. But our server was ok and the food was alright.
