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.

    Delicious brunch to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! We enjoyed everything: hush puppies appetizer, egg white omelette, 3 meat omelette, avocado toast, bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Potatoes and grits were excellent too. I don’t think there’s a wrong choice on the menu. Attentive service and lovely ambience. Will be back!

    Pamela, thank you for choosing us for that celebration. We're pleased to know you and your guests enjoyed your brunch. We look forward to having you back soon!

    Great food and drinks. My wife and I had a date night. Service was great. It was a little loud with the music and folks talking loud, but we had a table in the back with really comfortable chairs! I just wished I lived closer and I would go more often. Definitely will be back soon though!
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 2 days ago
    Andrew, we are happy to know you and your wife enjoyed our food, drinks, and service. We recognize that noise levels can sometimes rise, but we are pleased you had a table conducive to a nice date night. We'll be sure to keep our ear on the volume moving forward. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we look forward to welcoming you and your wife back soon!

    The Southern GentlemanResponded 2 days ago

I wish we had known as we would have been happy to make you a new one regardless of it being close to the end of our brunch service. I would love to apologize directly next time you are in and make sure you have an outstanding experience in every way. Please ask for me, and I hope to see you soon. Thank you.

    This place was really good. The food was a 10/10, I had the shrimp and grits and they were so good! Our server was super sweet and even gave great recommendations. The only downfall was trying to find the actual restaurant, which was so confusing. Overall this place was a 10/10, and I would definitely come back.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you so much for the kind review, Aymaya. It's wonderful to see how much you enjoyed your visit, and we hope you will visit us again someday soon!

    Had reservations and only available table was in the bar near the entrance. They were seating reservations and walk ins randomly. Very disappointing for a relatively high price. Carving stations for turkey and ham were empty and only had pre sliced meats which were dry. Had pre added 20% large group tip included on the check for our large party of 3! Not impressed.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 5 days ago
    Terry, I am sorry to hear your experience wasn't ideal. We work hard to keep prices as reasonable as possible and make sure we are competitive with other top restaurants. Please contact me regarding any confusion on your bill. I will certainly take care of it if a mistake was made. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully welcoming you again someday for what I'm confident will be an excellent dining experience. Thank you, Chris Lamoree, General Manager

    The most pleasant dining experience we have had in a very long time. Chris tie GM was amazing and our server was OUTSTANDING. I wish I could remember her name but she had long braids. They were also very tentative to my elderly mother. Hands down one of the best place to eat. Highly recommended.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 5 days ago
    Justin, that's wonderful to hear and we truly appreciate your wonderful comments. We'll be sure to let the team know they made your and your mother's experience so pleasant. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you!
