“ We dined in for brunch right as the restaurant opened. We were seated immediately. Our server (Olivia) was kind and attentive. The beignets were light, fluffy and delicious. The duck fat tater tots were hot and crispy. The biscuits and gravy was good but we felt like there could have been more gravy. The gifts were creamy and delicious. The omelette was good but could've used more filling. We got the mimosas which had a good ratio of orange juice to Prosecco. We were seated by an a/c vent which was too chilly for my likings but others in the group were fine with it. ”

“ This place is fantastic! I love the casual, upscale atmosphere. I had visited previously for lunch and dinner, but this time we went for Sunday brunch. I had the goat cheese omelet and cheese grits. It was delicious and the service was on point even with our large group of 10. ”

“ We visited South Kitchen + Bar on our recent trip to UGA and it was a lovely brunch spot! The building is pretty and featured stained glass windows and chandeliers. We got the French toast, spicy chicken sandwich, and a "build your own breakfast" plate. All were good. The bacon was super super greasy but it's bacon, so that happens! Fruit sides were tiny, but refreshing. The waitress was friendly and we might be back next time we are in the area. ”

“ I had such a simple, but delicious meal here. I sat at the bar on a Sunday very early evening. Both bartenders I spoke with were super friendly, attentive, and seemed to work very well together. I loved it all. Again, I ordered quite a basic meal, but it was done so well. Starting with the seasonal cocktail that was so so good. The Caesar salad was a perfect fresh pairing alongside the tater tots. They were SO GOOD- absolutely mouthwatering. I love a good condiment and this came with three that were so good that after my tots were eaten, I dipped some salad croutons in there too. They should bottle these up to sell! I've done a lot of reviews now, and I don't say this often, especially for what I chose to eat here. However, as I write this review, I'm dreaming about this meal again and hope I get back to Athens soon to be able to repeat it. ”

“ We stopped in on a Sat. Evening before a concert. Wait time was less than we were told. We had a pomegranate mule, wine , fried green tomatoes, and 2 salads, added shrimp to one. The staff, food, and atmosphere were all excellent and we will definitely return. ”

“ Very interesting setting. This is a former bank and there are a lot of period gilded features to it. We came for brunch right at opening. Note: GA alcohol laws do not permit sales before 11am, so if you're looking for that 10am Bloody Mary, better luck later. The food and service were very good. Decent street parking. Recommended while in Athens. ”

“ The food was amazing! Everything was delicious. The server was amazing. He was attentive. The place was clean and had a nice vibe. A great recommendation! Great for date night! ”

“ I was in Athens for Athfest and decided to stop by for dinner with my friends. Athens always has good food so I was excited to check this new place out. We walked in around 6 and they were able to seat our party of 8 pretty much immediately which was awesome! I got the frozen espresso martini which was so fun! The cold foam had hardened so we had to crack it first to be able to drink, but it was delicious and super cool. For my entree, I split fried pickles with a friend and got a grilled chicken Caesar salad. The pickles were fine (the breading was a little loose), but the salad was absolutely delicious!! The portion size was generous and I loved the blackening on the chicken. The salad also had bacon and their house Caesar dressing was so tangy and yummy. Overall, loved South Kitchen and can't wait to check out on my next trip to Athens! ”

“ Um this place was amazing!! I had never been here before and they were the best. First thing, they say our party of 8 down immediately at 6pm which was honestly amazing without a reservation. Our waitress was patient and amazing with our group. I got the frozen espresso martini to drink and it was delicious! The cold foam was hard and made it a little funny to drink but once broken up it got easier and it was delicious. For my main, I got the fried pickles and a grilled chicken Caesar salad. The pickles were okay with some loose breading but still delicious. The salad was stunning and had plenty of chicken and was HUGE!! There was plenty of bacon too which was amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and this was delicious. 10/20 and would definitely come again. ”
