The atmosphere was good. The prime rib was delicious, salmon croquettes where salty, fried pork was 50/50 good. Try to get refills on drinks is adventurous. It takes about 10 minutes n asking twice. (Didn't get the what the drinks we order - at least it was wet). I'm not sure i will be back. The server shouldn't have too many tables, he is nice but can't handle all his customers

I have been a loyal customer for many years. I’ve been here at least 2 dozen times Good was just outstanding on previous visits. That was not the case today. We arrived at 3:30 and the fried chicken that was served was nothing short of school garbage. It was old and cold! Overcooked and totally dried out. What a damn shame! Our server was outstanding but could not make up low quality garbage. We will not be back after seeing many recent reviews that match this.

I used to love to come to this restaurant! The food was ALWAYS the BEST! I often come to Atlanta, and the Colonnade was always on my list. However, unfortunately, that is a thing of the past. The food is now just beyond terrible. The vegetables are out of a can, and the portion sizes are way too small compared to years in the past. They are using a SMALL ice cream scoop to serve COLD vegetables. Their prices have skyrocketed, but the quality of their meats is the very lowest. Like most generational businesses, they failed to keep the standards that built the company and are going on with their past reputation. The problem is they simply did not study their past hard enough and build on the QUALITY of their food and customer service. They FAILED to RETAIN NEW CUSTOMERS, hence why their restaurants only have a few customers seated upon my visits. In a nutshell, the lack of caring for the BEST QUALITY FOOD, retaining its customer base, and developing new customers for its longevity simply spells out the demise of this Atlanta institution. Such a SHAME!

We have been going to Colonnade since the early 1980s. We went 2 days ago and I must say the fried chicken is as good as it has ever been. I know good fried chicken and this is the second best fried chicken that's ever been. My mother's Fried Chicken was the best. Our server was a a pleasure to work with he quickly answered all our questions He got our orders out promptly. I highly recommend this for anyone who has never been and for anyone questioning going back under the new owners period

I took my parents for some soul food. It was our first time visiting the landmark restaurant. We went at lunch on a Saturday. Service was amazing. Food was good, not great but better than most. I was so hungry when it came out I forgot to take pictures of our plates. We tried the fried chicken, sirloin burger and country fried steak. Parking was easy. Loved the vintage feel inside.

I have been coming to this restaurant since I was little. This has always kept the same charm it always has. It’s nice coming back home and coming here for a traditional visit. Niko was our server and she didn’t disappoint. I ordered the prime rib (I strayed away from my normal fried chicken). It was okay tasting. I shoulda stuck with my fried chicken! I love the Colonnade.

Update. New owners same place... I'd have loved a drink refill but fat chance.
It all depends of the server if it will be a nice experience. Some just don't care anymore, as if you're a bother to their day. Others are a delight and enjoy what they do. Good luck.
