50 Best Southern Restaurants near Chamblee

“I’ve been coming here since it opened. Went today craving the wings only to find out they weren’t on the menu. So I ordered tater tots and mac and cheese. The tater tots were great and amazing fried food. But dear god. The Mac and cheese could not have been more of a dumpster fire. Trying to cover up the runny bland sauce by adding waaaayyy too much garlic is not the answer.Please don’t serve this ever. Like ever.“

“Great new place - that already feels like it's been there forever. Service wasn't perfect (forgot a couple of things that we had ordered), but it was a very busy Saturday night, and the waiter was very friendly and apologetic... And the food and beverages were excellent!“

“While not a place to take your first date, nor the 5 star dining experience- I award this quaint southern cooking and fried chicken restaurant 5 stars for the friendly staff that works there. I stop here often after work, a beer, two piece chicken meal, with two sides is my go to. Definitely get the Mac and cheese!“

“JenChan’s is one of my favorite restaurants! The food and cocktails are delicious. I have not had a dish there that I didn’t love. The margarita pizza, rice bowls, and ginger margaritas are my favorites! Not only is the food amazing, the service and employees are absolutely wonderful. A 10/10 must try restaurant!“

“Nice place restaurant busy, lots of noise when having conversations. The food taste ok, the chicken was not a must-have as the server presented. Our food also did not come out hot or warm the plate was warm the food was room temperature. I had the Trout with add on chicken. They were ok not much seasoning as I would have expected from a southern restaurant. Beer was good. The fried green tomatoes were also good. Would only return for apps and drinks.“

“I’ve been here four times and it’s always amazing. It is pricey but the food is excellent, flavorful and the portions are huge. Even when there is a mishap with your food (which can happen anywhere) they are ALWAYS apologetic and accommodating with either replacing your meal or taking it off of your bill. The servers are amazing at what they do. You can tell all of the staff really care about what they do. Finally, THAT POUND CAKE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!“

“I went with a friend for lunch. It was busy, but we could get a seat within 5 minutes. The food was fast and came out in less than 10 minutes after we ordered. In total, we spent $60, which included tax and tip and included two entrees, a sharing dish, a side, and a drink.I got the hash, which came with eggs, bacon, and deliciously melted cheese. The potato hash was crispy yet soft on the inside. I also got a side of fried chicken, which was scrumptious. How can you go wrong? Fried chicken, melted cheese, and bacon.“

“Located in Home Park we happy to see that the location was not difficult to get to. There was a parking garage around the corner however there is complimentary valet service which is always a relief. The dining room has several rooms with different views my husband and I were sat in a room full of windows which was nice. My husband and I were in for our anniversary and decided to try one of the new Michelin recommended restaurants. We came for a 5:30 reservation and left close to 8:15. The service was decent however there was several times that we said " ummmmm where is our waitress?" But I think the staff does a good job of working as a team. We started off with some drinks I got the Miller Time ( a nice light and refreshing gin cocktail) and my husband got a beer. We were very impressed with the beer menu they had lots of our favorites and was certainly a nice treat for him. For starters we had the hush puppies ( cooked well, with a chutney on top and a nice creamy sauce underneath), The Farm Baked Egg( a staple to the restaurant, deliciously creamy with outstanding sourdough toast) and, the Local Lettuce Salad( I really loved how the ingredients were the star of the show with this salad. It was by no means underdressed but it was well balanced enough that you could enjoy all of the in season veggies), for dinner I had the Pork schnitzel( I was a little disappointed by this one the sauce was unlike any I have ever had and was heavy on the citrus while the collards were difficult to eat because they were so tough, the pork itself was pretty standard although, I had always thought schnitzel was supposed to be pretty thin this was not. The dish was highly recommended but I think it just wasn't for me) my husband had the duck leg ( which was cooked very nicely and he was very satisfied with the overall dish) for dessert we were gifted some glasses of Prosecco ( very sweet to include for our anniversary) to go with the vanilla cake( very moist and was paired with island flavors), the lemon bar( pleasantly bright with a raspberry sorbet and grapefruit mouse. I loved everything about this dish there was so many bright puckery flavors but it was not overwhelming.) and, the Dessert cheese course( lovely selection on cheeses the only thing that was off to me is the strawberries were not sweet at all.... It was a little sad). I also ordered a cappuccino which unfortunately had no foam on top paired with their hazelnut liquor which was very good. All in all it was a good experience.“

“From the moment we walked in I knew coming here was an amazing decision. Allen greeted our crew kindly and helped us choose one of the awesome, amazing, delicious options. The rest of the staff was warm and welcoming as well. I got “The Sandwich” and holy moly it was incredible! So glad I got a chance to try the world famous Hattie B’s!“

“They rolled out a new menu and when I say it was amazing, I mean it!! I had the fried artichokes, pork steak with a hash brown casserole, mac and cheese, and a side of bacon just cuz. We had Mr. Timothy as our server and he was so kind and a great help! If you all haven’t been here, you gotta try it!!“

“I went to this establishment for the first time to try the $35 3 course menu that happens on Mondays. JT was my server and he was the best! I had the meatballs as an appetizer and they were very flavor. JT recommended I try the fried chicken for my entree and it did not disappoint. The chicken portion was huge and the mac and cheese was my side and was also tasty. For dessert, had the Nanner pudding and was obsessed! It wasn’t overly sweet and was very well made. Will definitely return to try more!Parking is a small lot in the back of the building and is valet…but there is paid parking in the vicinity“

“Food was mid… I’ve been here a few times and had a better experience but today my food not only was cold but overcooked.On the plus side our service was IMPECCABLE. Our server’s name was Daisia (hope I spelled it right). Literally from start to finish, she was attentive, courteous and extremely responsive. She was so on point that I almost didn’t care about my food quality.“

“Me and my family came in for the first time today and we had an amazing experience from beginning to end. The restaurant is red and black , which is my favorite colors so we felt right at home lol. The cashier , I forget her name, but she was so patient, sweet and friendly when taking and explaining our order... the food came after about a 15 minute wait, and when I tell you we enjoyed every bite. I got the 3 whole wings and waffles with a side of baked beans and potatoe salad(thank you Marvelle W.) I would break everything down but just know this place is a must try. Marvelle was amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed. And was very sweet , nice, accommodating, and personable (Hey Neighbor!) LOL. Now that's customer service! Thank you Hattie Bs. Yall have became my top favorite spot in ATL.#BossLifeGumbo #MobileAL“

“I had breakfast here with my family. The wait for our party of 4 was about 15-20 min. When we finally went inside, we were seated at a booth. The usual decorations were down due to an upcoming filming, but the vibe was unaffected. We had a great server. She had an upbeat personality and was on top of things. The food could be a 4 out of 5 stars, but the overall experience was a 5. I loved the chicken fried steak. The lemon icebox pie was just ok. I was expecting something better given the accolades it had received. I sampled my family’s food and liked it. Pretty much straightforward food with no razzle dazzle.“

“Ordered the Korean Loaded Fries that are topped with their “Comeback" sauce, green onions, and roasted kimchi. I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised. The food was really good and full of flavor! More locations in the metro areas is definitely needed.“

“I wish I could rate this place higher!! Haven Restaurant and Bar is such a gem. I dined here for the first time last night with friends and everything was simply phenomenal. I had the Grilled Beef Tenderloin which was absolute perfection. The beef was cooked exceptionally well with the perfect amount of salt. The whipped potatoes were nice and buttery smooth and the spinach was the best spinach I've ever had. It was packed with flavor and the bearnaise sauce accompanied everything so well. We also tried the new Grilled Artichokes which were delicious. The ricotta really put it over the top and again, was seasoned perfectly. The staff was also top notch! Our waiter was fantastic beacuse he was so kind and professional and knew the menu back and front. The brunch manager was still there and he was also amazing and so nice. I live an hour away but will absolutely make the drive to come back again very soon.“

“Michael was attentive and helpful. He was very pleasant and funny. He made our experience very comfortable. The food was amazing. Chicken was perfectly cooked and hot. The greens were impeccably seasoned and the sweet bread cornbread was out of this world. I feel like we need to experience that one more time before we leave Atlanta. 5 stars on everything. We wish we lived here lol ?“

“My fiancé and I LOVE Georgia Boy! If we could afford it we would come every month. The service is fantastic, wine and cocktail list is unique but best of all the food you will have is so unique and creative and delicious! I don’t know how they come up with the ideas but they are so fun. You must try Georgia Boy!“

“I went to location across from the Aquarium. From the hostesses to my amazing Server Janiece, the entire experience was awesome! I had the Chicken and waffles and they were good. Both hostess (didnt get her name) and my waitress Janeice recommended the peach cobbler. Having never had peach cobbler I got it on the side. The chicken was flavorful and had nice crunch to it. The peach topping was nice. I cant wait to go back and try the chicken and biscuits w/black pepper gravy. 10 out of 10 from overall experience.“

“Affordable and classic. Simple and delicious. We decided to take our 19 year old to an Atlanta staple, since she is going to college here now. The jerk chicken was fantastic, falling off the bone. The meatloaf was delicious and sweet, The chili was seasoned perfectly and the cornbread was as perfect as classic cornbread can be. Next time you're hungry, try EATS!“

“Me and a colleague visited for lunch on a Thursday. The service and atmosphere was amazing! The food was good but not as good as I was expecting. The sweat potato fries were really good but shrimp tacos were just okay. It was missing something. My colleague did enjoy her grouper and coleslaw. I would recommend this restaurant!“

“Alvinnn !!! Love him downnn. 10/10 . Very welcoming. Alvin never allowed me to need for anything, from the time i sat down to leaving. He reassured me that i will always have an outstanding experience here with the service & food . Shout out the hookah guy Brandon as well !“

“Went for brunch and arrived a little after 11am. We were seated immediately & greeted by a wonderful & attententive waitress. She made great food recommendations & even informed us of which items contained coconut due to food allergy. The mimosas were delicious as well as the food we ordered. Dj arrived around 12:30 & played a great selection of music. We plan to visit again with more friends.“

“As you can tell by other reviews the food/vibe is on point but what makes Folk Art a repeat option is the valet service.The valet people are great, especially Aaron. He does an amazing job of making us feel comfortable leaving our keys with him. It's a really good feeling being able to enjoy our brunch without having to play the "beat the parking meter game" or worrying about if our vehicle is safe or going to get booted. Honestly, can't say enough about the guy, truly is a scholar and a gentleman.Again, food and restaurant service has always been an A+ but the valet option makes Folk Art a regular repeat option.“

“Had a grits bowl and it was sooo good! Can't wait to come back and try it all. The menu is expansive and lends itself to many different tastes and dietary restrictions. Not TOO big of a menu though! I left off a star for atmosphere just because I was seated near the kitchen and surrounded by staff rolling silverware and doing other tasks in front of house. Just made me feel kinda awkward. Regardless, the service was really wonderful.“

“The food was fantastic. Thomas, our server, was also great, he refilled our drinks any time they reached halfway and had a very friendly personality. The vibes and music were perfect, specifically would like to mention that the music kept me energetic, while not being too loud to socialize. The drinks had a perfect mix of champagne to OJ, mostly being Champagne. I enjoyed this spot a lot and would definitely recommend. It does start to get busier around noon if you’re looking for a more upbeat setting.“

“Thank you so much to Kevin and management for making our party of 10 proposal dinner INCREDIBLE. My fiancée and I have been going to South City for years to enjoy the atmosphere, drinks, service, and that infamous fried chicken. I knew that when planning the surprise dinner after the big moment, it had to be here. Kevin and crew orchestrated all the courses of the meal with the perfect timing and attention to detail. As always, the drinks were flavorful, the fried chicken crisp, and the chocolate cake the perfect balance of sweet to rich. We will continue to recommend SCK to all of our friends & family, and will return for years to come.Dietary restrictions: Lots of pork-free and non alcohol optionsParking: Do the Valet - it's $2 (tip those guys on top, they rock!) vs $20 for self parking“

“When we arrive we didn’t have reservations. It was definitely crowded. They told us 30 mins but it was actually 15/10. So we set down the service was fast. We order two appetizers the salmon bites and lemon pepper wings. Everything was bussin bussin. For our entrees we order the lamb chops & short ribs those were so delicious. I would come back when I’m in town.“

“I am so glad I found this gem!! I just moved to Atlanta from Boston (where there’s Haitian food everywhere) so I was little bummed out that there aren’t really Haitian spots out here. But my girlfriend found this place on IG and sent it my way. I ordered online and got the griot plate which comes with the diri kole (rice and beans) and the banan peze (fried plantains) with a side of salad and pikliz. Also ordered a side of the j*** chicken pasta which came with some delicious bread, my order also came with a lemonade and it was one of the best lemonade I ever had. EVERYTHING was delicious the griot was cooked very well still nice and tender people tend to overcook griot but this here was perfect! Portion is great! It’s a 10/10 for me and will not mind making that 30+ minute drive in Atlanta traffic to get it.My only suggestion would be to give the sauce on the side as opposed to putting it on the rice and having Dressing for the salad.Thank you Ted for a great meal, you definitely have a frequent customer now.“

“Here is an unoriginal take; Secreto is the perfect name of this place because it is the best kept secret in Brookhaven. I have literally never had a bad meal here and the "Community Hour" menu is such an incredible value that it is borderline criminal. The chef is super creative and the specials are always on point, the only "problem" is that the regular menu is ALSO always on point so it can be hard to decide what to get! Big shoutout to our favorite server there, Brittany. She always takes tremendous care of us.“

“We had reservations yesterday our very first time , our experience was awesome from the time we walked in the door we were greeted by all the staff everyone was very friendly food was delicious ? please support G Garvin restaurant you won't be disappointed those angel eggs and calamari were so so good definitely planning to visit again“

“A hidden gem for sure!! The food is the ABSOLUTE BEST SOUL FOOD I’ve had in ATLANTA! We enjoyed the salmon, lamb chops, greens, Mac & cheese, yams, and honey corn bread. The greens were PERFECT not requiring any condiments at all! The salmon and lamb cooked to perfection and the yams and Mac & cheese didn’t disappoint. Honestly it was all soooo good!! This is great for day or night date or with family/ friends. Our server, E, was attentive, friendly, and best of all informative on the food and drinks!! The music and atmosphere were a nice adult ambiance to enjoy laughs or even still chat with those you are enjoying your meal. A definite return and a definite must visit if you haven’t been yet! You’ll thank me later ☺️“

“I’m a frequent visitor and I’ve never had a bad experience. The bbq turkey is delicious and the customer service is always great. The staff is extremely friendly and everyone I’ve recommended has returned to become frequent customers as well.I highly recommend this place.“

“Quirky little place with good food, friendly servers. Prices are decent quality is great with adequate portion size. Highly recommend bring out of town guest, or to treat yourself.Kid-friendliness: Kids will be entertained by the wall decor. Have them count the flying biscuits.“

“Oh my God, what more can I say about this place? Awesome? Awesome. Customer service food is great hot. When they serve it to you, the place is so clean. You don't see many places like that. The restrooms are so Clean I am so particular about using other peopbathroom because I'm clean myself. O, m, g, keep the good workout. ?“

“From out of town, decided to try on a whim as I like home cooked chicken, the chicken is on point with a slight kick to it and boy oh boy does chicken fit the bill for delicious with no disappointment. The beans compliment the chicken and if anything completes the flavor one comes to expect when having chicken with fried pickles, on that note the fried pickles have a great flavor all their own and rounds out the meal. Thank you.“

“This is our favorite lunch spot. The food is always consistently good. I always get the Brie BLT with a Caesar salad instead of fries. We always take home a bunch of their cookies to fill our cookie jar at home. Always our go to lunch spot!“

“Although I have never been to the restaurant, the catering delivered to our customers' office was fantastic! I look forward to our next meeting so that I can order again! Absolutely, everything was wonderful and memorable! Quality, fresh, healthy and on time delivery.“

“When I tell you Atlanta Turkey Legs is gonna hit everytime and I mean EVERYTIME! I first got to try them last year at Jump-off Juneteenth event, anytime I see them at any event they are my go to food choice. Their turkey legs are always flavorful and juice, Mac & cheese is delicious with collard greens that have a kick to it! If you want the best of their menu please try their big back bowl ( turkey,greens,Mac & cheese,Kandi yams with cornbread) chefs kiss. The staff is always friendly no matter have busy they are at an event or even at their takeout location I. Which they finally moved in the city right in midtown Their takeout location can get really busy as it's a share kitchen space but it's clean and quick once your order is ready.“

“Hidden gem! We are visiting Atlanta from Nashville and came across this amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely some of the best bbq I’ve ever had. They also serve breakfast all day. We are coming back tomorrow to try the breakfast burritos. In addition to the great food the service is outstanding. I highly recommended!“

“We walked in mid-afternoon on a Sunday to grab a quick drink. We decided to get food and its a good thing we did. We weren't there to eat, but each got soup - chicken tortilla and gumbo. Great portions for cups of soups, great flavors, filled us up. it was perfect. Service was cheerful and attentive. Atmosphere was upbeat, a good afternoon crowd. And they had the basketball game on. Really good experience, will return & recommend!“

“Delicious food, tasty cocktails, and great service in a casual neighbourhood atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: Seems like they’d welcome families.Wheelchair accessibility: One floor, no steps, table seem big and high enough to accommodate needs.“

“Wow…I was craving some chicken tonight, thought I might try this place since it’s right across the street from me in Dunwoody. When I tell yall I was not prepared for that first bite.. I thought I was just gonna have a simple little chicken sandwich. NOPE. The fact that these folks can just casually whip up the greatest bite of food you’ll ever taste on a random Thursday night like they just did is incredible. I’ve had Ramsay’s Beef Wellington at Hell’s Kitchen and even that pales in comparison to what Jason sent me out the door with tonight.I’ll be back, and I’m bringing all my friends.“

“Our new hidden gem. The food was amazing! I ordered the lamb with grits instead of the intended side, and the grits were the best grits I have tried from a southern restaurant. The server was kind and patient, considering it was our first visit. We will definitely be back.“

“OMG……I am so sorry. I forgot to snap a pic when I got my food. It was good though. ? I went for their anniversary today and took my coworker to lunch. Neither of us had eaten at The Flying Biscuit before. The restaurant was very easy to find. It sits on the corner of 10th street and Piedmont, but Lord!!!!!!! Parking is absolutely atrocious!!!! Thankfully there is a lot right next to/ behind the building, but Jesus!!!!!! It’s tight and there aren’t many spots. If you have an suv, you are not going to be able to park here. My coworker and I got the flying biscuit breakfast; eggs, chicken sausage patties, grits, and a biscuit. Our server was named Lexi and she was really nice. The decor in the restaurant was eclectic and cute. There is art all over the walls and ceiling. Our food came out super fast and it was hot. We both enjoyed the meal. My coworker said her biscuit kept falling apart, but she enjoyed it still. The grits were super creamy. So much so, that they almost didn’t event taste like grits. They were so good. The chicken sausage was tasty and not greasy at all. My biscuit………was amazing. I needed you to pause for those few seconds to give respect to how good the biscuit tasted. I do have an after picture of my plate. Sorry again…….I was really excited. We only paid $11.27 for two meals. They add a credit card processing fee when you pay using a card. I’d definitely go back here, but I’d have to be in the neighborhood already or taking Uber. This would be a great place to eat breakfast before a day at Piedmont park.Parking: The lot behind/next to the building is free, but it is tight and small.“

“The grits are the best I've had. The FL Sunshine waffle breakfast was nice with fresh fruit on the top. The chicken sausage was subpar and dry. I did come at lunchtime though, so I'll have to try it during breakfast time when it might be fresher. Love the apple butter that came with biscuit.Bathrooms are in a bit of rough shape. For what they charge for eggs, they should put a fresh coat of paint on the interior bathroom doors and fix the paper towel dispenser.“

“The crab cakes with spinach side special was delectable. Price: $38. I thought it would be a great place to meet with a client as people online said it was a quiet place for a good meal; it's almost impossible to find quiet restaurants in Atlanta! Why is that?!Unfortunately, it was extremely loud inside the restaurant, likely because it is popular as the food is so good. I had to raise my voice to be heard by my client, who was sitting two feet from me across the table.Other than the noise issue, I really enjoyed the meal. The waiter Sean was pleasant, accommodating and efficient. I enjoyed the look of the restaurant and feel of the restaurant. It was a delightful culinary experience.“

“It be a hit/miss here but for the most part its a hit. Esp if i keep returning. The chicken is so good. So are there sides but when doing take out it seems less compared to dine-in but im still full and it wasnt bad. Todays visit neg would be the ice/drink machine. Everytime it does take a while for the food to come out, like everytime, so i finished my drink and asked if i can grab some ice and put in cup when i walked up to that ice machine i was sooooo grossed out i said theres NO way i will get anything to drink here. It was sooo filthy and disgusting i couldnt do it. It looked really bad. Besides that service is usually great and everything else. Im sorry i shouldve took a picture“
