Colonnade

We were the youngest people there. Just visiting Atlanta and craving fried green tomatoes and fried chicken. It was all good. Not particularly flavorful but huge portions and friendly staff.

Five stars, to me, is relative. Colonnade is five stars in its class. Classic, Southern supper club. It's feels relaxed and special. The best bartender in town. She's truly special. And the dining room staff are all excellent and pleasant. We love the chicken livers. The Saturday special- Prime rib- is crave-worthy. And I love the Marion salad. (I think of my grandmother, Marion. ) Hubs loves the collards too. Shoutout to Christina- our favorite server. Lord willing, we should all be here to celebrate The Colonnade's 100th anniversary in 2027!

An Atlanta Southern tradition . So happy to see it open with great southern foods & strong drinks . The family of employees make this a destination. Fried chicken , Marianne chopped salad , chopped sirloin ,okra, complimentary corn bread & muffins The decor is classic Americana with great padded chairs & booths . Don't miss this !

Got some veggie plates for takeout on the way home from Hartsfield-Jackson. Just the perfect southern meat and three. Homemade Mac and cheese, perfectly done black eyed peas, fried okra, collard greens with flavor. Just everything that you want if you need a southern bite. The host (Helen?) was lovely and walked through menu adjustments very patiently. I was able to pick up my order right away, even though I hit the after church lunch rush.Delish!

Great southern tasting food with a large variety of food and I loved the simple sit down atmosphere.

Some of the best home cooked southern food we have ever had at a restaurant. The place was packed and really loud but the food was amazing. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and tasty. We also had the pot roast, chicken fried chicken and rainbow trout. For dessert we got the butterscotch pie and the key lime pie. Wish they had peach cobbler because I bet it would be the best!

The best! An Atlanta tradition! And a true classic. Wonderful atmosphere. Superior service. Great food!!

The Colonnade has been an Atlanta fixture in one location or another since 1927, but my wife and I have been coming here for "only" 20 years. People come here for the food, which is both plentiful and priced to please. I simply can't get by the two grilled pork chops I get with my order, along with a huge variety of side dishes. Service is always good, but you will have a wait to be seated during the rush hours. No worries as there is a great bar available if you're so inclined. We can argue about ambience, but not about the food. Fried chicken, shrimp, steak, chicken livers, salmon, trout - they're all on the menu and are good! Did I mention the huge desserts or the large people who eat them? Do yourself a favor and visit the Colonnade, but bring a hungry friend.

I didn't realize it's been nearly 4 years since my last visit to Atlanta, during which I made my pilgrimage to the Colonnade. Some things are just as familiar and terrific as always: fresh yeast roll and mini cornbread muffin with real butter brought to your table first thing, a huge variety of vegetables and the Marion Salad, friendly, efficient wait staff, and an army of devoted fans, to name a few.As you could tell from my last visit, I was looking forward to their legendary pork chops and, unfortunately, they were not the chops that made me such a fan. Instead of the center-cuts, they were the shoulder cuts, which have more bone and gristle. They were seasoned well, but a major disappointment, since these cuts tend to be less tender and uniform. I left about half of them on the plate. My lunchmate ordered the turkey and dressing and said that it seemed to be processed and a bit tough.I'll have to say, lots of people were ordering the fried chicken, which has always been a big seller, and for good reason. When I go back (and I will), I'll forgo the less-frequently ordered entrees and stick with the good old standbys.

First time here in many years. We don't live near anymore. We went on a Wednesday at 6pm. The restaurant was full, and our waitress , Christin, came immediately to take drink orders. We were a party of 7 and she was very patient and kind with our questions and requests. For my husband and me, she was the best part of the experience. We both had vegetables. We thought that 17.00 was way overpriced for 4 vegetables. The servings weren't very large and our beans and squash casserole were lukewarm, almost cold. The dressing was lacking flavor. My husband had a salad and I had slaw, both of which were good. One in our party had trout, which she said was very good, but her mac and cheese was ok. Those who had fried chicken had huge portions, and they were happy with it. We probably won't return.
