Southbound - Chamblee

Had the chef's special trout and fried okra. Okra was a little tough, but how they fried it was delicious. Trout, with Spanish rice, was very good.

We had a friendly server who was quick to respond to our needs. The Cuban Sandwich avails itself of the BBQ pork they use for other dishes, so prepare for that smoked taste in the Cuban. Good Brussels. Seasoned Fries weren’t to my liking, thick with no hint of crispness. Several outdoor seating options including, when open, an upstairs balcony.

The cocktail selection is top notch. Staff was professional and attentive throughout the evening and the food was excellent. Would definitely come back.

Other than being extremely loud, this place is great!! Food and cocktails were amazing. My high school class is having its 50th reunion there in October. It will be upstairs in the private Peabody Room. Can’t wait!! Definitely recommend!!!

Southbound Chamblee lunch: Please note, these thoughts are our evaluation based on our visit. Boneless fried chicken breast, collards, deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, mac cheese, tomato soup. My Little Princess wanted a bone in fried chicken breast, but my taste of the boneless chicken appeared to be cooked just right, not over cooked. They tend to be better fried bone in. Collards were very good, seasoned well, and although the addition of vinegar was good for me, my Little Princess would have preferred the vinegar on the side as usually seen in Southern restaurants. Deviled Eggs . . . Tasted like a Southern Baptist Church Woman's at an after church luncheon that never learned how to cook from her Southern GrandMother. Plain, but doctored with salt. pepper, and hot sauce, it would be OK, just didn't have the minced dill pickles with me. I loved the fried green tomatoes with pineapple habanero jam and goat cheese, could have added a little more heat for our taste. The mac cheese was something to pass on, close to Kraft in a box. The tomato soup was spot on, one of the best I have had, seasoned just right! The service provided by Caleb was most excellent. We understand he is also available for service at the bar for your service.
