    Try the mint julep and the old fashion. They are very tasty cocktails. The bacon wrapped meat loaf is the best I had so far. The fried chicken is very tasty and you can't go wrong with any sides.

    Kevin Gillespie is a genius. Simple menu but some of the best food I've ever had. Fried chicken and mac and cheese were outstanding.

    Revival is AMAZING! We did family style. The meatloaf, Coke braised ribs, catfish and last but not least FRIED chicken was off the hook! Great for any occasion with anyone!

    Everything. We had the family dinner and it was amazing! The fried chicken, kale salad, Mac and cheese, and everything else is to be savored. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

    Potatoes soup with bacon jam, cornbread light and airy, fried chicken and bacon wrapped meatloaf... awesome. All the sides were very good and the lemon icebox pie was to "live" for!!!

    Kevin Gillespie brings back the Southern family-style dinner of old – and some killer fried chicken – inside a quaint, renovated home in Decatur. Read more

    Food is fantastic: fried chicken is moist, cornbread is killer, mac and cheese is great. BUT the service was dreadful- the hostess had no idea how to do her job and we waited forever to be tended to

    A little bit expensive, but totally worth it. Incredible Southern food with a homemade taste, the spirits are amazing too!

    Eat everything. Seriously. You can't go wrong. And make sure to try the poundcake with peaches for dessert.

    Fantastic for brunch. Cinnamon roll is not of this earth, and chicken breakfast sandwiches are perfection. And the coffee...❤️

    The meatloaf sandwich at lunch is to die for. So is the cornbread! For drinks, you must try the old fashion.
