Colonnade Restaurant

(36 Ratings)
A must-see Atlanta institution
The Colonnade has been serving high-quality southern food to hungry Atlantans since opening its doors in 1927. The recipes haven't changed much since then, with simple but mouthwatering menu options. The fried chicken is exceptionally good.

Time Travel with Comfort Food

Going to the Colonnade is for me like Sunday Dinner at my hometown's only cafe in the 50's and early 60's. The food is wonderful and the wait staff very profesional. My only complaint is that I get to visit it too seldom.

This place is an Atlanta classic. The experience is surreal. You're surrounded by gays and grandparents. Everyone loves the down home cooking, sweetest tea in town and a colorful wait staff. It's Morrison's Cafeteria meets P-town.

Oh HONEY! Come on in ya'll!

Since 1927 The Colonnade has been an Atlanta dining landmark, attracting a raft of regulars. A mixed crowd of everyone from grannies to gourmets gathers for strong drinks and some of the region's best fried chicken and yeast rolls, the latter a rapidly disappearing Southern treat. The low-slung, no-frills building has been expanded in bits and pieces, but the atmosphere is really provided by the veteran waitresses and quirky crowd. Besides the fried chicken, come for the salmon patties, the trout, the bone-in ham steak, the oyster stew, and the pies, especially the coconut cream. On Sunday, come whenever the spirit moves you after noon, as service is all day.
