OpenTable diners are a feisty bunch when it comes to high expectations in restaurants. As a mecca of Southern hospitality, Atlanta knows all about it. That’s why it’s so special that a local spot has made OpenTable’s 2018 list of the 50 Best Southern Restaurants in America.
Southern food is highly sought around the United States, but is opened castigated for high blood pressure-inducing foods and salty fare. But those people who blame our culinary exploits obviously aren’t eating some of our most prestigious cuisine.
OpenTable’s 2018 list comes from an analysis of 12,000,000+ reviews of more than 27,000 restaurants across the country. They considered the height, depth and (corn)breadth of countless eateries. One Atlanta restaurant made the list: South City Kitchen.
The Midtown restaurant is officially one of the 50 best Southern restaurants in America, although we already knew that. Its three metro Atlanta locations continue to set the bar on what ATL fine-dining is about.
Atlanta has turned into quite a restaurant town, with new spots popping up by the week it seems. Follow AtlantaFi’s Restaurants tag to stay up on all the latest.
