Best Southern American Restaurants in East Point

Poor Calvin's NEVER disappoints! Took someone who had never been tonight and they were very impressed. My hack for Poor Calvin's is to just order the specials. Whatever special entree or appetizer is available, GET IT! Last night was a surf and turf with a filet mignon and lobster. OMG! It was served over this large basil leaf. So every time you cut into the filet you got a fresh subtle basil essence amongst all the other delicious flavors that were in play. Absolutely genius. The special appetizer were shrimp wontons that were packed with several pieces of whole shrimp. They did not skimp or cut corners. On the side was this delicious and refreshing cucumber kimchi. WHAT!?! My date ordered the fall off the bones ribs. So tender and so flavorful. They also enjoy the lavender lemonade. Let's talk about this strawberry cake. 100 layers with fresh strawberries in the filling and on the side. I had to bring half of it home. Also our server was an absolute pleasure. She was funny, answered all our questions. She was laid back and just genuinely wanted us to love everything we ordered. Oh yes... I almost forgot! If they offer you the special candied bacon strips, do not hesitate. GET THEM!

Excellent food and service. -Fabulous Mac&Cheese -Tender, juicy and tasty ribs -Special salad with strawberry sauce which makes you “eat your veggies” - Jalapeño corn bread is sublime! Really a nice and refined taste of Southern food and hospitality. I definitely recommend it.

I love coming to South City Kitchen. Every time I am in Atlanta for business, I eat here. The FOOD IS AMAZING. I love the chicken and the crab cakes. The drinks are amazing and the service is stellar. Excellent restaurant with a wonderful staff!

Went there for a business dinner. Ambience is nice. Service is not that great. That day even they could not give menu for Drinks. I am not sure how a restaurant can say they dont have a menu for drinks. Only verbally few limited choices were told. Food was coming after a long time. Literally we had to call the server to take the order. So not a good experience. however food quality and quantity was good.

Overall, good experience I would definitely go back.
