The Colonnade is one of the oldest restaurants in Atlanta. During the week they are only open for dinner. On Saturday’s they are open for lunch, so I knew I had to take advantage of the opportunity.
I was really hungry for fried chicken and I was told that The Colonnade has fantastic chicken fried chicken that would surely satisfy my craving. When my dish came out I couldn’t believe how big the piece of chicken was. I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it, but hey, that’s what doggie bags are for!
The chicken was so crispy and juicy. I didn’t even need to use the country gravy because the favor was so impactful but I wouldn’t be a good southern girl if I didn’t have some of the chicken with the gravy.
In keeping with the tradition of a classic diner, at the end of lunch my waiter came by with the dessert that came along with the meal. You can’t go wrong with an ice cream sundae and vanilla cake!
The Colonnade has a large diverse menu so if you are planning on checking them out make sure you are hungry since there are so many items to choose from. Check them out on their Facebook Page: Colonnade Restaurant, Inc.
Enjoy!
