JCT’s version of deviled eggs is prepared simply with Benton’s ham and a sprinkling of extra virgin olive oil. Classic, delicious and everything that eggs should be. Read more

Everything here is delicious! Start with the fried chicken skins and marinated mushrooms and have a plate of fried chicken and collards with fresh, hot biscuits!

The restaurant has items that conjure up South with a twist, deviled eggs & pork belly w/ clams & all kinds of poultry: fried chicken, hot chicken oysters, chicken liver mousse, ect. [Eater 38 Member]

Great combination of southern hospitality and refined cuisine. Some of the best dining experience so far in ATL. Solid French inspired fare with local twists. And on top of this, service is great, too

Appart from the great food, the two best things about this place is the bread and special butter they serve as an amuse bouche and the cute decor, giving a trendy and yet cozy feel.

Sundays they do a special family-style dinner, so show up with a big group for some of Atlanta's best fried chicken (according to Robert, the guy I chatted with while watching the Falcons @the Albert)

Drink a couple Kentucky 75's. Order some oysters. Indulge in some fried chicken or some dumplings. And make sure to get some dessert. One of the best places in Atlanta!

The food was amazing and prices were very reasonable. Everything is made fresh so there is a bit of a wait. However, they give you bread and butter while you wait. The butter is the BEST I had.

Heirloom tomato salad was incredible. Vegetable plate was filling. After dinner, go to Marcels across the bridge. The share a GM (Luke) and Marcels turns into a late night speakeasy at 11pm

Wow. The deviled eggs are a must topped with pursuitto de Parma. Also the lobster roll which consists of a whole chicken lobster in a toasted and buttered bun. Had to share with whole table😎

Try the truffle-parmesan fries. Great crispy fries with a soft interior dressed with true white truffle oil and parmesan shavings, it doesn’t get much better than that Read more

One of Ford Fry's greatest. The fried chicken is delish, but there is lighter fare that is equally great: fish of the day, puréed veggie soups. Just don't forget the truffle fries.

The pot roast of short ribs looks absolutely amazing! It is braised overnight from apple cider and cider vinegar. And you can pick your vegetable sides.

Go with a friend so that one of you can order the fried chicken and the other can order chicken and dumplings so you can have the best of both worlds

Sunday Supper $26! Tons of great food (biscuit, deviled egg, salad, meat, three sides & a pie). Get fried chicken & fast before you go!

While a meal in the main dining room certainly is memorable, I prefer to hang out upstairs in the outdoor seating area noshing on Angry Mussels and Truffle Parmesan Fries.

Fantastic fried green tomatoes. Not greasy, & tomatoes were firm. Pimento cheese on it was excellent, & I'm not even a pimento cheese fan. Good hot sauce, too.

Try their refreshing take on the lobster roll. Pieces of steamed Maine lobster, gently seasoned with house-made mayo, lemon and a bit of shallot and chive. A contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more

I have been enjoying dinner here for the last few years. It truly is great for just popping up for a casual dinner to a more formal dinner - it just works! I will be back.
Judy HarrisSeptember 26, 2013
Sunday dinner was wonderful as always but Coca Cola cake disappoints. Fried chicken and creamy whipped potatoes are fabulous as is the roasted corn on the cob and heirloom tomatoes.

Standouts include fried oysters over creamed spinach and killer desserts such as the dreamy tapioca pudding. Gracious service and a good wine program make up for the occasional misstep in the kitchen. Read more
Dan SohaydaFebruary 25, 2017
Very dark atmosphere but quality food and friendly staff. Good if not small craft beer selection as well.
Brent FedorMay 13, 2013
The pork belly sandwich with pickled green tomato and pork rinds was Fourgasmic. The sandwich had the perfect portion of tender rendered belly, slaw dressing, tomato, and cracklin's.
Leah DixonJune 16, 2012
Everything here is amazing. The fried chicken always sells out early. My favorite place in Atlanta by far! Bar upstairs has STRONG drinks and live music!

Try the Lobster Roll (Sandwich) - Gorgeous, butter-toasted golden brown H&F bun, stuffed with perfectly cooked, sweet meat from a 1.25 lb lobster, barely dressed with mayo, lemon, shallots, herbs. Go

Little more than what I wanted to spend but food was fabulous! Service great! Nice atmosphere.

To enjoy their outstanding lobster roll served with slaw and fries takes a bit of planning—it's offered only at lunch on Friday and Saturday. Trust us, it's worth the wait... Read more

They have great desserts and a couple of mocktails on their drink menu!

The burger was top notch. Very tasty. The truffle fries were quite delicious too. The main room gets quite loud when full.

A lot of tips here... I followed most of them. Deviled Eggs, Angry Mussels, Fried Chicken and Fried Pies... all with fabulous wine. Even a little Ice Wine from Idaho. Absolutely Fabulous! ... and

The daily specials are to die for. I had the Mahi Mahi with roasted beet purée and wilted kale. Bliss!

The fried chicken was really nice! Recommend an extra side dish though as the whipped potatoes is a very small portion.

Check it. California Dude had the Crispy Duck and Dumplings, The Hemingway Dacquiri and the George Fried Peach Pie. KILLER GOOD! Best food in Atlanta since I've been here...which has been 3 days.

Cool vibe, great outdoor space to grab a bite

Delicious cocktails, food was amazing!!! A little pricey, but worth it!
Mark SchwartzmanFebruary 20, 2014
They don't serve fried chicken in the upstairs bar area. Slightly disappointing but made up quickly by the deviled eggs, devils on horseback (get these!), and mussels.
Psychic SoulfullApril 18, 2015
All I have to say is this - FRIED CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS! Make you wanna smack your mama (not really but still). 😍😁
