Polished modern Southern spot in Buckhead with standout fried chicken, short rib, and cocktails; service is warm but can be slow at peak times; reservations recommended.
The Southern Gentleman delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout fried chicken and short rib, paired with outstanding setting appeal featuring Buckhead views and a warm fireplace. Attentive service and visible management support the experience, though occasional consistency variations and service speed lapses during peak times prevent grade A territory.

One caveat: Service delays at the bar and during peak brunch noted by several diners
