The Southern Gentleman is a Southern-inspired gastropub in The Buckhead Village District. The concept celebrates every aspect of what it means to be from the South with a fresh, modern take on traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The bar program explores the artistry and history of classic Southern cocktails—everything from barrel-aged cocktails to bottled libations to adult beverages on tap, along with New World wines and craft beers and the “perfect” mint julep.

The gorgeous top floor space in Buckhead Atlanta was designed by New York’s Lacina Heitler, and features classic, Southern touches done in surprising, modern ways: seersucker window treatments, tufted camel leather booths, vintage plateware, white marble countertops, vaulted ceilings, herringbone floors, dramatic chandeliers, complete with an oversized portrait of Mark Twain painted by a commissioned local artist.

Had a wonderful breakfast Sunday. Went early and it was not crowded. Plus street parking is free on Sundays. Everyone really enjoyed the food. Egg white omelette and the fried chicken with the skillet cake received rave reviews. The chicken apple sausage links were very good as well. Beautiful interior. Will definitely go back.

Food was surprisingly better than expected. I will definitely be back. So glad I found this gem. I have to try more menu items. Was skeptical about the sweet potato cornbread that came with the greens and friend chicken dish, but it was all very delicious. My date got the shrimp and grits and we shared the Mac and red beans and rice. We couldn’t stop saying “now try this”. I also had the Chardonnay and loved it. Everything was great our first go around will be back to try the rest of the menu.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at Southern Gentleman. The main dishes were generally good but not extraordinary. Three of the 5 had shrimp and grits and while good they each said they wouldn’t get again. One had a hamburger which was delicious and the final was a butternut squash dish which was good. What was extraordinary were the appetizers - we tried the hushpuppies, Mac-n-cheese, deviled eggs and avocado toast points. Yum to all!! We were not rushed to order our main dishes but did soon after the appetizers arrived. Everything came out warm and timely and all the staff was extremely pleasant especially given it was a holiday night. Look forward to going back.
The Southern GentlemanResponded 1 day ago
That's nice to hear, Melinda. Thank you for joining us on Christmas Eve. We love hearing you enjoyed your appetizers and service so much. We’re looking forward to your next visit to ensure your main courses will be just as good!
