    Cajun Shrimp Pasta with fried chicken breast
    Letese' C.

    This is a nice family owned restaurant that has potential. I'd definitely recommend only coming if you have a reservation, otherwise you'll likely be on the waitlist for a while. I put myself on the wait list an hour before arriving based on the time estimate, but I ended up having to still wait another hour before we were seated. The menu is pretty solid, with a good selection for both drinks and food. My friend and I both got the peach lemonade mimosa. It was okay, I'd probably just stick to a regular mimosa next time. The up charge wasn't worth it. The jerk chicken egg rolls were delicious, just as they are described on the menu. The accompanying sauce was amazing. Definitely the best thing I had. The breakfast skillet with potatoes was a bit too bland for me. Overall the dish lacked flavor. It came with a salsa, but that really didn't add much for me. The staff did take my feedback well and offered me replacement dish, but I wasn't interested. My friend loved the cajun shrimp pasta with the added chicken. She said that was very flavorful, especially the chicken. Both items were a decent portion so you definitely won't go hungry here. The restaurant is very cute but it is small. There were only two tables designed to fit larger parties. They do have some tables outside, but they weren't doing outside seating that day, likely due to the heat. Id definitely recommend they close the waitlist during busy periods. Overall, my experience was okay. I'd go back with a reservation and try other menu options.

    SALMON POLENTA
    Shanelle S.

    Visited on a Saturday with a 1:30 reservation. Upon arriving my party of 3 was notified the kitchen was backed up and a table would be 10-15 minutes. Due to their waiting area being small, we had to wait outside. It was in the mid 90s. After 5 minutes we received some water. Around 1:50 we asked about a table. We were told it would be a few more minutes, as they were waiting for one large party needed to be moved to another table so we could be seated. At 2pm we asked about the table again. By 2:10 we were told they were waiting on silverware. I inquired if we could be seated and have the silverware brought over due yo the extreme heat and not wanting to wait outside longer. We were finally seated and able to order. We ordered a mimosa carafe for the table and I ordered the salmon and grits. The. Mimosa was great and the salmon and grits were amazing. I would definitely order it again. We spoke with the manager regarding our waiting experience and they offered to comp the mimosa which was nice. Despite the experience with the heat I'd be willing to return.

    Veggie omelette (with smoked sausage) and toast

    We had a wonderful experience at Poach Social! I had to change plans last minute for a loved one's birthday celebration, and when I called two days before I needed a reservation, the staff was so kind and accommodating! We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

    Title: Flavor Explosion, Soulful Hospitality & a Last-Minute Meal That Turned Magical Let me just say this: what started as a "quick bite before closing" turned into one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in a long time. We arrived at The Poach Social about 20 minutes before closing, unsure if we'd be rushed--but instead, we were welcomed with warmth and ease. Lived the ambiance. Hunter, our server, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel taken care of from the very start. Then came Victor, the owner and chef--and this is where things shifted from good to special. Without us even asking, he recommended a mocktail that felt like it was made just for me: a sorrel-based drink layered with ginger, spice, herbs, and fresh fruit. It was refreshing, balanced, and honestly one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I've had. We started with the jerk egg rolls... and I'm not exaggerating when I say we were clapping after the first bite. Crispy, juicy, flavorful, with a sweet-spicy sauce that just worked. We immediately knew we'd be taking more to go. For the main course, we ordered the Poach Social breakfast plate and the blackened salmon with polenta. The breakfast plate was comforting and well-executed, but the salmon dish? Absolutely unforgettable. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth texture, with creamy polenta and a rich sauce that brought everything together. It was a full-on flavor experience. The timing of everything--from drinks to apps to entrées--was seamless. Hunter checked in at the perfect moments, never too much, never too little. We ended up in a lovely conversation with Victor, who is not only talented but genuinely kind and passionate. He brought us complimentary slices of carrot cake, and even though we were already full... we ate every bite. No regrets. It was phenomenal. What I loved most is that this place doesn't just serve food--it creates an experience. There's intention, care, and heart behind everything. If you're in Atlanta, do yourself a favor and go. This place deserves to thrive. We will absolutely be back.

    Avocado toast
    Vanessa D.

    My girlfriend and I wanted to have brunch so we ordered the French toast, shrimp and grits, the jerk, chicken eggrolls, and the avocado toast with some mock tails and cocktails. The food was very good, but it did take a little time. I believe because it's a scratch kitchen. It was worth the wait. Our servers name was Langston and he took really good care of us. He made sure to check on us and explain the menu as well. Our drinks did take a lot more time to get to the table. It's a cute and trendy place, but the only thing I would change was the placing of tables because when people are passing by, it was very difficult. If someone was in a wheelchair, it could be a problem getting into the tight spaces. The last thing would also be drink order is coming out in a timely manner. Overall, service was great and food was very good.

    This place was delicious! There isn't much outdoor seating, only 2 tables, but I did sit outside because I was looking for more of a quiet vibe. But the inside was lovely. Service was still amazing and I was served well throughout my entire experience. One thing I have to rave about is the jerk chicken egg rolls. This place has a Caribbean spin to some classic dishes and I can't wait to go back and try some other things in the menu. The parking lot is small, but there is street parking nearby. Would definitely recommend for a nice lunch or brunch!

    Jerk Chicken Eggrolls
    Tunicia W.

    Poach Social is an unassuming spot in the Summerhill neighborhood. At first, I was worried about parking, especially on a Sunday, but there was plenty of street parking. Since I was by myself, I was seated pretty promptly. Taking in the ambiance, it's almost like coming into someone's kickback at their house. Music was great. I was immediately greeted and my drink order was taken. When my waitress came back with my drink order, she gave me several suggestions on what to try. Honestly everything on the menu looked good. I chose the jerk eggrolls and the salmon polenta because I still kind of wanted some breakfast. The jerk eggrolls were so so so good! The Salmon polenta was just okay-I probably should have gone with my instinct to get the SLT. Outside of that, everything was great. They do automatic 20% gratuity, FYI. I will be back soon, hopefully.

    The Yardbird with Fries

    Hidden Gem! Summerhill neighborhood has a hidden gem! Tucked away is a beautiful upscale restaurant with a menu that will have coming back just so you try everything on the menu. Decisions, Decisions..... The Yardbird was delicious; not your typical chicken sandwich. And the Jerk Chicken Eggrolls!! The food is irie!! Check out the menu! Hats off the Hunter for excellent service.

    SLT
    Jas A.

    This is a Jamaican-owned American brunch spot in the Summerhill neighborhood. The restaurant has a small shared parking lot, but there's also plenty of street parking. Upon entry, you're warmly greeted, and the space feels cozy and intimate. I went with my mom, and we were seated right away. We shared the shrimp appetizer and gave it five stars. We both ordered the Elderberry drink -- I added gin to mine to turn it from a mocktail into a cocktail, and it was exquisite. We both had the SLT and added pickled red onions, which took it from a 7 to an 8. Definitely recommend for a quick brunch -- they got us in and out!

    SHRIMP AND GRITS
    Jaimee C.

    Had a wonderful meal with my family here recently on vacation. All six of us enjoyed our meals, so I feel you really cant go wrong no matter what you're in the mood for. I had the shrimp and grits and no one even made me feel weird for practically licking the plate clean. (My husband did gripe that the grits were a little loose for his preference, but I'm here for flavor baby.) The scotch bonnet hot sauce they offered was also a nice surprise, a good deviation from watery Tabasco. What really impressed us was the service. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful and beyond kind with genuine hospitality. Will be back next time we're in town

    Easy online reservations but be aware it requires a credit card. Small parking lot as it is shared with other businesses but street parking available. Hostess and our server were very nice. Another tall gentleman working was also very nice and helpful. Took a while for food but it was crowded during brunch and a few large parties. Nice drink and food selection. One order was incorrect which was big in adding pork when the person does not eat pork. No accommodations with a discount, food offering or anything for if a food allergy that would have been a big miss. Replacement came fast.

    SALMON LOX SANDWICH
    Mark L.

    We had a great group experience at Poach Social for brunch. I ordered the salmon lox sandwich, which paired smoked salmon with crisp Texas toast, cream cheese, fresh lettuce, and tomato. Every component worked well together. The entire table enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. During our visit, the owner stopped by to chat and shared the concept and inspiration behind the restaurant. The combination of good food and welcoming hospitality made for an excellent visit.

There probably isn't a bar in the city that offers as breathtaking of a view as does Moonlight. The panorama of all three of Atlanta's skyscraper centers is clearly visible, along with the historical architecture of Ponce City Market. The crowd is mix of tourists and locals in their 20s and 30s. The cocktails are solid. Food is decent, nothing to rave about, but again, hopefully nobody is here for the food. The lobster roll was very bread heavy and the useless dab of caviar was just a wasteful decoration. Yet, the atmosphere of the place, situated in the beautiful Forth hotel makes Moonlight an incredible spot for drinks.

Having dined at Elektra already this weekend, we wanted to try something different. Hostess started with some type of unposted dress coded nonsense because my son was in a hoodie (which he agreed to remove) before we were granted access. Arrive inside and it's standing room only at the bar - all seating areas are clearly designed for large groups and they're all occupied, as were the handful of actual seats at the bar. Proceed to order numerous dishes from the menu to-go. Bar tenders, in fairness, were very pleasant btw. Nowhere to wait except standing there like idiots until bartender says we can sit in a reserved section for a bit. Nasty waitress comes by soon after to usher us away, despite conflicting instructions from the bar. Anyway, insult to injury when it appears I've been charged a service charge and a gratuity charge and the dishes were small and mostly not great. The wings were ok, but the grilled cheese was gross, the flatbread was minuscule, the cheese plate was meh. Overall, between the mostly rude to indifferent staff attitude, lack of seating, and poor quality of food this place deserves a pass. ,

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all!
