I was really looking forward to what I just knew would be a great meal. I've been in the past and it was great. Today was the opposite! The service was really good but the food was terrible. I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, squash & black-eye peas. The chicken was overcooked and very dry. The potatoes were dry and stiff (not fluffy as the menu says). The squash was mushy & had a strange taste. They no longer have fried okra or cream corn. Overall a huge disappointment!

Haven't been to The Colonade? You've got to add it to your dining list. It's Atlanta's second oldest restaurant and a local landmark. Fried chicken is their signature dish and it is fantastic. We started with a Shrimp Cocktail, then delicious fried chicken and a plethora of southern sides. I had the Pear Salad and Baby Limas and my wife had Pickled Beets and a salad. The food is good ole southern comfort food. They get busy so be prepared to wait. They have a lounge where you can enjoy a drink while you wait. There's lots of history here including being featured in movies you would have seen. Stop in and enjoy a great meal!

Great food and fast service. We dined very late and did not feel too rushed. Dined here again last Saturday evening - Derby Day. We had an enjoyable table wait in the bar with great drinks, Customer Service, and fellow drinkers. Whata race to observe!
