Paschal's Restaurant & Bar

Ambiance is casual. Love the tall ceiling.Service was good.Food was amazing! I had Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Chicken with corn and beans on the side. The chicken is crispy and oh so juicy.

Food - everything we ordered was very good. We were a party of about 12 plus 4-5 children, so we ordered A LOT of food. Our server, (I won't spell his name, because I will definitely misspell it, but it started with an M) gave great suggestions on what to order. Between all of us, we had ribs (fall off the bone tender), fried chicken and catfish (fried just right and well-seasoned), and shrimp along with most of the sides - greens, sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas, rice and gravy, mac n cheese, brussel sprouts. The sides were good as well, the only exceptions - the rice was a little mushy and there was a little too much sweet chili sauce on the sprouts. The fries and catfish off the appetizer/starter menu were tasty, too.The tea and lemonade received great reviews and come with free refills.Service - here's where the problems come in. Again, our server was great; he's the reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2. The bartender on the other hand, was the complete opposite - rude and unwelcoming. A couple people from our party placed orders at the bar while we were waiting to be seated and had nothing good to say...I don't know if the automatic gratuity has something to do with her poor customer service or if she was just having a bad day, but either way, customer service is just as important as good food.I don't recommend The Other Island drink - it's very sweet and you can't taste the alcohol. It's a tropical version of a long island iced tea, a drink you should not have to wonder about whether or not the alcohol is there. My cousin didn't really enjoy the Hennessy peach margarita either.Would I recommend? No. The good food doesn't outweigh the poor customer service or the watery adult beverages

Was told to come to Paschal's for the peach cobbler but had to try the fried chicken as well. Do not sleep on this chicken!! It is fantastic! From the first bite, I knew it was the one. Super crispy on the outside and seasoned very nicely. Should've gone with the mashed potatoes instead of the potato salad but the Brussels were absolutely delicious. The peach cobbler was something else. I'm not usually a peach gal but this got me into it. A must if you're in the area. There is a $5 fee to park in the lot but we were able to find street parking. Also, there was a mandatory gratuity added to the bill so yay for less math after a meal. I love the high ceilings and photos on the walls. Super cool to see a bit of history here.

Naomi was my server and she was so sweet. The service is 10/10 and the food is amazing. My favorite appetizer is the fried green tomatoes!!!I will definitely be back!

On a recent trip to ATL, with my Canadian colleague, I insisted she try some good southern cooking and soul food. After perusing a variety of restaurants we landed here on a Tuesday late afternoon. It was not that busy, lots of staff standing around. Not sure if this is a newer restaurant in terms of location (I know the backstory and it has been around for decades) and that is why things felt disjointed. Our server took about 10 minutes to even come to our table. We ordered some basic (non bar) drinks. Water and a ginger ale. I was disappointed that the entire time we were there the staff never came to refill the waters as I chug through at least 2-3 glasses when dining.The food was GOOD. I ordered the fried chicken platter, my sides being brussels and mashed potatoes. I will say that the brussels were DELISH, and the Fried Chicken was excellent. Moist and juicy with just the right amount of 'fry' to it. Seemed to be the same coating/batter they use for the fried green tomatoes. Saved some room for the famous peach cobbler which was good, but did not knock my socks off or anything. I loved watching the robots deliver the food to the tables. Very cool, and nice that servers are not having to run back and forth however it seemed like they did not utilize that time to ensure their tables had refilled water or my colleague wanted another ginger ale but never got the opportunity to order one. Food was good - service was good balanced between things that went well and opportunities.

I was excited to visit the storied Paschal's. Parking is kinda frenetic at the lot across the street. But if you can valet, that's the way to go.Once inside, we were seated. It was a busy Saturday afternoon in early December. I had the catfish fillet with blackeyed peas and collard greens. While the catfish was good, the vegetables were pretty bland.My friend was equally unimpressed with her dish, sadly. It was nice to visit a place of such historical significance.

Visiting CAU from Texas with our son for orientation - glad we were referred to this amazing restaurant. We love the ambiance, clean, mellow- plenty of historical art pictures showing our leaders over time Our waitress Fre was amazing and very hospitable!! She made great suggestions and I didn't catch pictures of our deserts - but we did also have peach cobbler and banana pudding, both were delicious. I can't wait to make another visit and bring the rest of our family!

We were so excited to try this restaurant since it appeared in more than 3 websites while searching for the best places to eat in Atlanta. We ordered the famous chicken platter with different sides like mac and cheese, collard greens and potato salad. My kid got the alfredo pasta and he said there was no taste. The fried chickenWas just ok. Nothing special. Yhe collard greens was also just so so. The potato salad was delicious though. We also liked the sweet ice tea but that's all. Our server Fere was the star of our visit in this reataurant. She was so attentive and came back several times to check on us and refilled our drinks. Ambiance of the restaurant was also ok.

Listen, you will not be disappointed if you order the Catfish (& Brussel Sprouts) and the price may be a bit high but you could definitely share the meal with a partner/friend (unless you're feeling extra hungry). I'm not sure how the lemonade or tea taste but before you place that order, you could get an extra piece of fish for just about $2 more dollars than the drink - which makes for a great shareable meal. FYI : The primary parking option is there $5 ($6 on Cashapp) Vallet Parking and while im not a fan of paying for parking, it is safe, convenient, and they will allow you to pay after your meal.

The food was amazing. Service was quick and accommodating even with a party of 16 and no reservation, they were super quick with getting us a table. I ordered the salmon with yams and brussel sprouts and they were soooooooo good
