South
City Kitchen has been heating up the Atlanta scene
with their contemporary southern cuisine since 1993. The popular
restaurant is located in two locations, Midtown and Vinings. Both are
designed with sophistication and a homely style. The menu offers a wide
range of southern
favorites and generational recipes. The people of
Atlanta venture to the Fifth Group Restaurant to enjoy “Down
South” classics that are plated with elegance.
Tennessee
Catfish
SouthCity Kitchen Tennessee CatfishThere are a variety of appetizers on the menu. Some of these
appetizers include crab cakes, chicken livers, fried tomatoes, potato
dumplings, and pork barbecue. Plated with delicacy is Tennessee
catfish, apple-fennel slaw, and a Mississippi comeback sauce. The
catfish is deep fried until a southern crunch is created, and
it’s mounted on a bed of apple-fennel slaw. The sweet slaw
consists of thinly sliced green apples, fennel, chives, and carrots.
Then the Mississippi comeback sauce, which is orange in color, is
drizzled down the middle of the masterpiece. The sauce is smooth,
tangy, and absolutely delicious. The Tennessee Catfish is considered an
appetizer, but it’s a perfect way to kick off a southern
meal. I’m a strong lover of catfish, so I would definitely
order this dish again. It’s a light option that the fish fans
will love.
Biscuits
& Cornbread
SouthCity Kitchen Biscuits and CornbreadWho doesn’t enjoy a fresh basket of bread? South
City Kitchen provides their customers with homemade buttery biscuits
and golden sweet cornbread. There is nothing better than having
options. If you’re a bread lover, then you can pick your
favorite from the two choices. The bread compliments most of their
signature entrees as well. Some of the specialty entrees include:
buttermilk fried chicken, shrimp and grits, Georgia trout, smoked pork
chops, pan-roasted duck, and filet mignon. Each of the entrees are
freshly prepared and artistically designed for presentation.
Buttermilk
Fried Chicken
SouthCity Kitchen Buttermilk Fried ChickenFor the entrée, I chose the famous buttermilk fried
chicken, garlic collard greens, and smoky macaroni and cheese. The
fried chicken is phenomenal; it’s juicy and seasoned
perfectly. Then the collard greens are cooked slowly with garlic and
special spices. Plated adjacently to the collards is the macaroni and
cheese. They are creamy, and served with a syrupy brown sauce that
compliments the spicy flavor. Everything blends together nicely, and it
reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking. The dishes will make
you feel warm and happy on the inside. Their atmosphere is inviting,
and the cuisine will leave you speechless.
I would consider South City Kitchen an upscale
restaurant
that creates some of the best homemade dishes. For nearly two decades,
they have provided their customers with intimate dining and fresh
recipes. If you want a taste of traditional southern cuisine, then
South City Kitchen will satisfy your cravings.
