The Colonnade
Best Southern Classic in Atlanta · GA
Fried chicken and strong drinks since 1927
The Colonnade has served Southern classics since 1927, making it one of Atlanta's oldest restaurants. Fried chicken, salmon croquettes, prime rib, and yeast rolls come to white-tableclothed tables in a room famous for pairing genteel, old-Atlanta tradition with a lively cocktail-lounge crowd.
Family-owned and shaped by decades of regulars, the Colonnade is beloved as a place where multiple generations — and Atlanta's establishment and its come-as-you-are crowd — share the same fried chicken and the same unhurried welcome.
