“For an extra good deal, hit the early bird menu before 6:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and join a crowd that spans toddlers to seniors, all eager for a plate of Southern hospitality.”
– Tasting Table
Fodor's "For traditional Southern food—fried chicken, ham steak, and turkey with dressing—insiders head to Colonnade, a local institution since 1927 and a magnet for gay men and the elderly." Full review
Frommer's "This Atlanta institution, established in 1927, serves authentic southern specialties without any newfangled twists (thank goodness)." Full review
Zagat "“Cheap” tabs, “seriously high-octane potables” and an experience that’s “like nothing else in Atlanta.”" Full review
BlackBook "Clubbers, bouffant-bearing ladies, and gay seniors make up a portion of the eclectic clientele. Old-fashioned faves like lima beans, okra, and fried chicken prevail."
Gayot13.0
"The Colonnade serves some of the region's best fried chicken... and yeast rolls, the latter a rapidly disappearing Southern treat." Full review
Rough Guide "This Atlanta institution, a respectable old place incongruously set in a stretch of girlie bars and sex shops northeast of downtown, is full of old-timers and regulars."
Not For Tourists "Southern meat-and-three institution."
Where "Despite its crusty servers, outdated décor and strip mall location, this large establishment has a fiercely loyal clientele." Full review
The Infatuation "With more than 30 options ranging from fried okra to black-eyed peas, you’ll have a lot of possibilities to keep you occupied. This family-style dining hall has been around since 1927" Full review
