The food I had wasn't as good as I remember it being before. Still good drinks. Friendly service. Seated pretty quickly.Vegetarian options: Veggie plate available.
It was not the same old Collenade. I was very disappointed in the food. The catfish 2 pieces were small and curled up at the ends. The chicken was fried but dark brown, which means the oil needs to be changed. The sides were extremely small and sad. I don't think I will go back. I had rather remember how it was in the 90's. It was empty for a Friday night. They have a great profit margin. You can tell by the food, hours, prices and help.

My brother and I went here and the experience was so good. The service is amazing and the place has so much history. The food was delicious. The manager Scott was so accommodating and made sure everyone in the restaurant was well taken care of. 10/10 would come back.
First time here. What a wonderful experience. Had to try the fried chicken, it didn't disappoint! Staff was super friendly. Quick service. Will be back for sure.

It was over 2-1/2 decades since I first eaten at the colonnade. The service was great. I didn't know the old saying "it's the place for grays and the gays. I ate so good I got sleepy . The atmosphere was nice and cool. I really enjoyed myself. Class of '92.

TERRIBLE experience. Order was incorrect, portion sizes were small,1.5 tablespoons worth of gravy for a full filet of chicken fried chicken. We asked for corrections and they never corrected. At the end of our meal, we asked for a refund due to not getting what we ordered or the service we paid for and we were denied the refund. Staff was incredibly rude throughout the entire meal. I would not recommend and will not return to the restaurant.

The best fried chicken around. Love their sides too. Chicken livers are delicious as well as the fried shrimp. It's been around since the 40's! Must do if you're in the Cheshire Bridge area.

Atlanta staple that serves delicious southern fare. Melt in your mouth fried chicken, delicious liver and onions that reminded me of my mother's cooking. Great selection of sides, pretty good fried green tomatoes and friendly service. Portions are great for sharing and trying several items. Convenient to Buckhead and midtown happenings.

Menu prices have increased and food quality isn't the best as it use to be.
last visit my food was warm not hot!
I visited the Cheshire Bridge Rd Colonnade location for the first time January 2024. I ordered the fried chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. In my opinion, the green beans tasted as if they were poured straight out of the can and warmed. No seasoning at all. The mashed potatoes were somewhat bland even with the gravy. I was really hoping that the fried chicken lived up to the hype based on some of the reviews. I was disappointed. The chicken wasn't dripping with vegetable oil like some restaurants fried chicken but it was bland to say the least. Understandably, food prices have escalated since the Covid pandemic but I felt the quality of food did not amount to the prices they are charging. I have no complaints regarding the service. Everyone during my visit was friendly and attentive. Overall, I would say this restaurant is mediocre. The food isn't awful but it's nothing to rave about. Would I recommend it to friends and family? No. I feel there are better southern comfort restaurants in the Atlanta area that offer more bang for the buck.

While in the ATL, the Mrs and my mother decided they wanted to go here to get their Turkey and dressing. I opted for the Hamburger Steak with grilled onions and brown gray. Food was ok but nothing to write home about. Service was good and the people watching was a bit slow on a Wednesday night. The one side that no one at the table cared for was the sweet potato soufflé. They add raisins and it created a burnt/bitter taste.

Good restaurant that's been open for at least 40 years. Food is good. Service is good. Place is always clean. Recommend eating here for that great comfort food craving.

I totally agree with so many of the reviews. I have been a loyal Colonnade customer for close to 30 years. Totally outrageous entree prices for what you are getting. I assume those who gave this place 5 stars are not long time customers. I am sure they have lost their long time customer base. I would not be surprised if they close the doors in the future.
