    Deviled Egg
    Jannah C.

    SCK consistently serves quality southern cooking. I always start with the fried green tomatoes, which are a must. This visit I got the shrimp and grits which were made perfectly with a red gravy. Service as usual was quick and helpful. This particular location sits off the lobby of a hotel so it has a very nice ambience for casual or nice dining Occassions.

    Shrimp & Marsh Hen Mill Grits
    Craig G.

    I was in the area and looking for dinner just before 9PM and saw that this restaurant was open and nearby. I popped in and was immediately seated in the classy dining room. They have bar, table, and booth seating with an open kitchen view. I ordered the Shrimp & Marsh Hen Mill Grits and the proportion of roux to grits was good. And the roux was filled with big plump shrimp and tasty chunks of tasso and had a tanginess from the tomatoes. I asked if they had any bread to go with the meal and they provided a yeast roll and a corn muffin. Possibly due to staffing levels, service was not good. I could not get a drink refill until the end of meal when I was leaving. And when I requested my check, it took a long time to receive it and another long wait for it be processed.

    Spectacular restaurant at the Avalon in Alpharetta!! Located inside the hotel, restaurant also has street entrance. Friendly staff and probably the best service I got in a long time from a server. Phil. The dude is the man. Being new to Atlanta metro - he also took time to write me a full page of suggestion of things to do. Food wise - pork chop was delicious. Hands down. Fried chicken was rich but very moist and tender. Cake was also delicious perhaps too large for one person to eat by themselves. Cocktails were stiff. I had julep which was the first for me. Ambiance was nice , modern , open space but still intimate to degree!

    This place has certainly become an Atlanta staple. It is dependable and tasty, but not necessarily original. It's good food but nothing here will blow your socks off. The Nashville bites had good flavor but were nowhere near "Nashville hot." The deviled eggs were also good but not spectacular. The entrees were decent, with their Springer Farms fried chicken being the star of the show. The pieces were crispy and had flavor, but not enough to make it a "must return" or "must share" experience. Our server was friendly, attentive and gave good recommendations. Set in the east corner of the Avalon, this spot is heavy in foot traffic and social vibes. Hard to go wrong with the biscuit and cornbread basket. Enjoy that while you wait for your food to come.

    Pork chop

    Our group of eight dined here tonight and had such a great experience from start to finish! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a beautiful interior. There's a separate bar area with high tops that's perfect for casual drinks or happy hour, and the dining room manages to feel both intimate and modern while still open and spacious. This spot is especially good for groups--the large tables easily accommodate bigger parties, and the service was prompt, attentive, and friendly the entire evening. Splitting a check so many ways can often be a headache, but they handled it with no problem, which we really appreciated. Now for the food--the real standout! Every dish at our table was a hit and not a bite was left behind. The fan favorites were the trout, fried chicken, grilled pork chop, Caesar salad, deviled eggs, and banana pudding. On top of that, they offer a well-rounded cocktail, wine, and beer list, plus a few fun mocktails. Two people in our group tried the strawberry banana margarita mocktail and loved it--it was flavorful, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for any occasion--whether it's a night out, a celebration, or after-work drinks. The friendly service, great food and drinks, and beautiful setting (with nearby shopping and restaurants to explore) make it a place I'd definitely recommend and look forward to returning to

    My totally vanquish Burger.
    Gloria H.

    I ordered the sck smash burger. It was a very simple looking plate burger with nice crispy golden fries on the side. I like the fact that they give me individual mayonnaise and ketchup jars. I totally forgot to take a picture of the burger. I was hungry. But I'm showing you the empty plate. It came with B&B pickles which I'm not a fan of but they were sliced so thin and the cheese had more than enough flavor to disguise the less than dill flavor. I have to say it was a very very good burger. The meat was tender and juicy.Kawana the bartender was excellent at explaining exactly what I was ordering. Great personality easy to talk to. It was very nice to sit and watching the TV. It was about 1: 30pm before they closed very quiet with lovely music playing.

    Table for 4 for Dinner We had just finished a movie at a nearby theater and took the short walk over to South City Kitchen. We entered through The Hotel at Avalon's lobby, took a left, and stepped into the restaurant. We have been to this hotel and restaurant before, but never during the holiday season. The decorations were everywhere, and the space looked very festive. We approached the podium, but no one was there at first. A minute later, someone who appeared to be a server came over, said hello, and immediately picked up a ringing phone. It sounded like she was taking an order for a hotel guest. We were just standing there for a few minutes while she kept going and kept going with the phone order. Eventually the actual hostess arrived, and once I let her know we had a reservation, she handed us menus and we were led to a booth. Soon after, the person who was taking the phone order, came over and greeted us with a warm smile. She knew the menu inside and out and was very personable. She could tell we were kinda in a hurry and informed us she would try to keep things moving. She brought waters while we looked over the menu, and by the time she came back, we were ready. I ordered a 3 Tavern Prince of Pilsens and Wifey ordered the Creature Comforts Classic City Lager. My youngest went with an Espresso Martini, and my oldest stuck with her water. The girls added deviled eggs as an appetizer. The drinks came out pretty quickly and to continue with the festive atmosphere the deviled eggs were dropped off by another staff member dressed like an elf. For dinner, my oldest built her own entrée by bundling a couple of appetizers together. She ordered the crab cakes and fried green tomatoes. My youngest ordered the Wagyu Beef Cheeks with Parmesan grits and broccolini. Wifey and I decided to share the Cold Smoked Grilled pork chops. While we were waiting for our food we looked up and realized there was a complementary basket of breads already on the table. It was a mixture of small cornbread muffins and biscuits. The cornbread had actual pieces of corn baked in, which added some cool texture to them. The food definitely took longer than expected, and the person who delivered it apologized for the wait, as soon as it arrived. Everything looked great once it hit the table, and everyone enjoyed their meal. We finished with just enough time to head outside for the tree lighting. Overall, it was a very good experience and I'd come back the next time we're in the area. 4.5 rating

    SPRINGER MOUNTAIN FARMS FRIED CHICKEN Mashed Red Bliss Potatoes Collard Greens

    We decided to celebrate our anniversary a little early. We had amazing service by Victoria, she was very knowledgeable of all the menu items. The food was amazing as it always is from the appetizers we had Fried Green Tomatoes and BBQ jumbo shrimp along with cornbread and biscuits . We had the fried chicken, with mashed red potatoes and collard greens. My husband had the pork chop. The ambiance was absolutely stunning throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend

    SMOKED BRISKET HASH*
    Larissa J.

    Although it is a bit on the pricer side, it's a great place to come every now and again because the food and drinks are so good (keeping in mind I've only been for breakfast/brunch). Reservations: We made a reservation for a Saturday morning at 11:00AM. The restaurant didn't seem too busy at the time, so I don't know that you NEED one per se, but better to have it if you're able to make it. Parking: There is a free parking deck right next to the restaurant. It fills up pretty quickly though. But no worries. There are plenty of feee parking options within the Avalon; you will just have to walk a little to get to the restaurant. There also is valet parking available if you're interested. I didn't use it so not sure about the pricing. Food: So delicious! Each table gets started with biscuits and cornbread, with butter and apple butter. So good! Then we ordered the fried green tomatoes. It comes with goat cheese and a red pepper coulis sauce. Absolutely amazing. I ordered the smoked brisket hash which was delicious; so big and so filling. I could only eat half of it there. My friend got the fried chicken and waffles, which is their signature dish. She loved her meal as well. Drinks: I ordered the Bellini and it was so good! Would order it again. Vibe: Mohan was our waiter and he was fabulous! Answered all of our questions and made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant wasn't too loud so it was easy to talk without having to raise my voice. Like I said, it was a bit on the pricier side, but the meal is so good. Oh and the hostess was very warm and welcoming! I see myself coming back to this location.

I had the love potion which was a seasonal drink to celebrate Valentine's Day. It tasted like a cosmopolitan. The Duck Around and Find Out was heavy on the blue curaçao, so if you like that flavor, you'll love the drink. I enjoyed it. The calamari didn't have as many ring calamari as I would've liked but crispy. Needed a lemon or something to make it pop for the flavor. My fiancé ordered the blushing margarita which was also special for Valentine's Day. It was a really good raspberry marg, would definitely order again. Then, he had the adult Capri sun sangria, which was good but really sweet. The server did warn that it would be sweet, so wasn't bad just something to note. He also had the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls which were pretty good. Definitely filling as far as meat portion, enjoyed the flavor. Would've liked a little more cheese, and for the price, a larger amount would be better. It was two big rolls cut in half to make it seem like it was a large amount but really wasn't. The service overall was a little slow as far as getting food and drinks, but the servers themselves were pretty attentive. It was easy to get someone's attention, and they checked on us often enough. It was also very pretty on the inside, so aesthetically, it gets points there, too.

It was nice out so we asked to be seated outside. They have outside seating on the roof and also out front. We were seated out front. It was a wonderful experience. Although it's a wine bar we just had water. But noted the wine flights for a future visit. They have 6 oz pours, which is nice. The flights are interesting though. They have three wines in a flight where you receive a 2 oz pour of each wine in the flight. They tell you that they cannot mix and match wines from different flights, so you have to receive the wines that are in each flight, which is fine with me. We started with the goat cheese beignets with the honey sauce. They have a decent helping of goat cheese inside of each beignet. My wife says that it was almost too much. And I joked that there's never too much goat cheese. Lol. My wife had the chicken kabob which was very elevated. It didn't come on the skewers which was nice and it had a really flavorful sauce and roasted veggies.

The ambience was so nice and the food was fantastic! My group got a few appetizers to try- all were tasty and so were the drinks. I noticed it was a different menu than the most recent time I went. The first time, I got the braised short rib and was very pleasantly surprised with the portion, flavor, and tenderness of the meat! Our server was great as well and helped us enjoy a fantastic evening. This past Sunday I went again with a small group of people around 4. There was only one other group eating in the restaurant at the time but they left shortly after we got there, leaving us the only ones in the space. Our server may have been new and not well trained- he didn't write down our three orders, which could have been fine but he had to come back and ask us what we ordered before he put it in. We got the smash burger, fish sandwich and chicken piccata. The burger looked nice, two patties and plenty of toppings, but my fish sandwich was absolutely lacking. At first, it looked great, but the more I ate the more I realized there was hardly any fish in there. To me, the fish seemed about 1 cm thick with a huge coating of breading sandwiched between a bun on either side... the coleslaw needed to be sharper, and the tartar sauce added to the heaviness of the meal, not the elevation of it. I felt I needed another meal after I finished. The chicken piccata was decent but was heavy on the lemon, to the point it wasn't enjoyable to finish. I probably won't be back because of the disappointing meal I had.
