Drinks are phenomenal and unique. Service is beyond top notch! Beautiful ambiance.
Chicken n a biscuit. Hot damn good stuff. Great coffee too if you are looking for a work bite.
Is not too crowded for weekday breakfast. Vibrant crowd, professionals amd corp type in the mornings.
Tea was just right. Good combo for a cheesy grits and biscuit plate
Great atmosphere, food & drinks but the service was slow.
One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Make sure you make a reservation.
The cocktail menu is fantastic and the bar itself is a great place to stop by for a casual drink when you are not having dinner. There is a wide drink selection as well as a good number of local beers.
I love the ever-changing food menu and each time I have been here I got something different. One of the highlights of the meal that I had here last was a bacon-infused pimento cheese spread as an appetizer.
Food and service are fabulous. Drinks are so creative and tasty. Worth the cost.
This salad is more than worth the $20 price tag. Fresh greens, grilled okra and peppers, grains, and most importantly extremely tender steak! On top of that, there was an amazing dressing whose contents I couldn't identify, but it was wonderful. The okra also allowed me to check off a "southern tourist" food box as well :)
Visiting from NYC and I was craving grits. I tried a few places when I got in and nothing was "wowing" me until I had these amazing delicious grits! perfectly seasoned delicious grits! The service was amazing as well! I sat outside with my pup and they even had a water bowl for her! Super friendly staff and fast service. It was wonderful! I will come back next time i'm in town!
The design and location are more interesting than the menu. Frankly, the brunch menu is too snooty for me, and it includes minor Southern delicacies. I started with the pimento cheese; it's savory, and the topped bacon is well incorporated, but it's slightly too smokey. My meal was the griddled biscuit in which was disappointing. The sausage in the biscuit was very spam-like. It had the same look and consistency as cooked spam. The bacon was a hard, thick slice of what tasted like cooking oil. The biscuit was somewhat dry but had a good texture. The good in this conjunction was the fig and cheese had a lot of flavors! The potatoes were well done as well which I prefer. I did not enjoy my cocktail; there was too much grapefruit in my Venetian Spritzer, so it was very sour and unpleasant. The silver lining is the staff is helpful, and the outdoor patio is beautiful! I'd return if a regular menu item is added. I hope waffles is in the near future.
Empire State South has wonderful food, tapas and cocktails. Even if you don't come for dinner; stop over to the bar and enjoy classic and neo-classic cocktails made by friendly and knowledgeable bartenders.
Super fun vibe at this restaurant! The outdoor space has a bocce ball court (the balls are a little beat up, so don't plan to have a serious game here), with ample room for seating both small and large parties. The indoor is cozy, with a nicely sized bar, bar area, and dedicated restaurants seats/booths. The staff are very friendly, and the food delicious! A good, happening place to visit right after work.
Everything you need
What was that need you mentioned? With this eatery you dive in and choose your heartfelt urge. Apps, special fare and extra special servers are never far away. We had a time press with an early wedding rehearsal and were served in less than 15 minutes. Impeccable beef, fresh diagonal slaw and great fresh chips. Thank you.
The absolute best food I have ever had. Hands down. This restaurant has it all. Food, staff, seating, music, atmosphere, even the other customers were friendly!!!! If you're thinking about going here, don't wait to get the farm egg. Seriously.
Empire State South has an amazing coffee selection, from espresso drinks to a variety of different coffees to choose from. They have a simple breakfast menu during the week, but their weekend brunch options are definitely something to try. And don't forget to stop in for drinks - they've got some of the best cocktails around with a knowledgeable bar staff.
