JCT Kitchen is worth a visit! If you are in the Howell Mill area check them out. The bar staff is friendly and quick to get your beverage of choice. Try the angry mussels, you will not be disappointed. The truffle frys are worth a taste, too. Everything I have had there has been beyond expectations!

My friends and I visited this venue, for the bar only, as we had already eaten that evening. We ordered drinks out to our table on the deck where a solo guitar player was covering classics and Top 40. The weather was nice, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I would love to dine here in the future. The service was... More

The signature dish is the fried chicken which is great and I don't even like chicken. The upstairs bar area is awesome and provides a great place to have a drink and enjoy the ATLANTA skyline with live music. The restaurant can be loud so be warned.

They really know how to elevate Southern cooking to fine dining. There were three of us, and we got 3 different things to share for lunch, which I think is the best way to go because the portions are large and some of the dishes are very rich. The fried chicken was outstanding! 3 pieces with greens and purple hull... More

Several of my friends have been raving about JCT Kitchen for quite awhile. Yesterday, I found out why. We had lunch there and it was excellent. We sat outside in the courtyard because the day was so nice, but the restaurant itself is full of windows and very open. The food was so fresh and the offerings were creative. Our... More

Looking for a wonderful foodie experience. Excellent choices prepared impeccably. Solid wine list. Highly recommend the southern fried chicken or shrimp and grits!

We had dinner last weekend while visiting Atlanta. The food, service, and ambiance were great. Be sure to try the "angry mussels." Stay for an after dinner drink on roof top .. Live music and beautiful view of city.

Great American food: great quality, not too expensive, loved the ambiance...kind of cool but laid back feel. Would go more often if I lived close by. :)

I actually first ate at JCT Kitchen when I attended a going away party for a co-worker. I was told the fried chicken was fantastic. I saw that they had Chicken and Dumplings on the menu, so I ordered it. Wow... Just Wow. That was one of the best plates I have had in a while. Every detail was perfect.... More
