    Wonderful southern elegance for an Easter brunch. Fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese and biscuits and gravy were all 5-star dishes. A wonderful experience!

    We had a very nice dinner and great service on Saturday night. We were set upstairs, which does not have much character and the space feels like an afterthought, however, the food and service was excellent.

    Southern hospitality at its finest! I arrived early for my lunch reservation (around 11:15am), and they welcomed me warmly despite just opening. The staff graciously checked my luggage, which was much appreciated. The patio seating was lovely, and my server was attentive and knowledgeable about accommodating my food allergies. I indulged in the classics - fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, and a refreshing mocktail. The fried green tomatoes struck a perfect balance between acidity and savory flavors. The star of the show was definitely the fried chicken - juicy and succulent on the inside with a perfectly crispy exterior. It paired wonderfully with their homemade hot sauce, which had just the right levels of acidity and heat. The sides were equally impressive. The collard greens retained their texture (not overcooked) and had excellent flavor, especially with a dash of that hot sauce. The mashed potatoes were decadently buttery, though by that point I was reaching my richness threshold! Don't miss their buttermilk biscuits - deliciously rich and buttery, served with whipped butter. This might be the best Southern food I've ever had, complemented by exceptional service. While it's a bit pricey, the quality justifies the cost. A must-visit when you're in Atlanta!

    Our experience was wonderful at SCK Midtown. We went during lunch time and it was just before the restaurant was getting busy which was nice but once busy, it was not bad at all.
