JCT Kitchen and Bar

Great service at JCT: table was ready, server was attentive, and the food was delicious. I didn't love the seasonal veggies with the chicken and dumplings, and they probably could have added a few more ricotta "dumplings," but overall a good meal with well-made cocktails and sincerely friendly service.

First visit but will be back. Not a large menu but great choices

The restaurant is very nice on the inside and the service is great. I had an avocado shrimp salad for lunch, though, that literally had 3 small shrimp, 3 tiny pieces of avocado and a bunch of lettuce for $16. That's completely unacceptable. I was super hungry after this lunch.

Fantastic as always.

Very noisy, but fun atmosphere. Slow service. Daughter's birthday, but charged for cake which was a surprise.

It's my go to restaurant

Food fantastic, nothing we had was mediocre. Drinks, appetizers, entree, and dessert were all A+ divine. My strip was mouth melting good. I could go on and on about the food. I have eaten at a lot of great restaurants but what set this night apart was Emily Lindeman. There are servers and then there are the rare God given talented folks who transcend what the word and expectations of a service is. Tonight Emily helped create something special. We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and without Emily it would have just been a night of great food. Emily made the night come alive. We couldn’t be more excited about the evening we had at JCT. Congratulations to the Chefs, management team, and Staff. You all have created an environment which will be worthwhile to enjoy over and over again. We loved it. We love you Emily! Thank you for all you did.

Kind Regards,

The Collins Family

Our first visit happened to occur for Sunday Supper which is a fixed menu for a set price per person. The price was more than I intended to spend per person, but I did think the food was completely delicious and the serving sizes were large so we took food home. We will return, but the price is a little higher than our typical dining budget.

Service was VERY slow - with regards to both the server responding to requests (e.g., extra napkin) and the kitchen completing the food. The server also forgot to bring a special treat for my sister, whose birthday we were celebrating, even though this information was included on the reservation. Very disappointing experience.

Great Sunday Supper. I had not been in a while and the menu changed a bit. The deviled eggs were tinier, but still just as delicious. No more meatloaf on the menu, but they had blackened catfish. It was amazing and not fishy at all. The biscuits were dense and buttery. I loved them, but our server said she likes them better when they are flaky. They were perfect with the butter and apple butter mix. Sides were good. We enjoyed pecan pie for dessert and were so stuffed we couldn't finish dessert. Food came out quickly, yet we were allowed time to eat and not bothered. I love this place.

Excellent food, ambiance and service. A must go if you’re in town.

The staff and food was wonderful! We will be back.

I'm visiting Atlanta from California and my Ad agency recommended JCT Kitchen and its fried chicken. So I met my local friend there. In addition to the wonderful food amd cocktails, one thing stood out unexpectedly. Our reservation was late (8:45pm) so when I ordered the fried chicken, they've already sold the last piece for the night. So I ordered shrimp and grits instead (which was fantastic). At the end of our meal the manager came out with an order of fried chicken on the house for takeout - the kitchen made it just for me! This is the way to take care of your customers, and for that reason alone we'll be coming back:)

The best tomato soup and “adult” grilled cheese for a cold fall day!

My Experience was great
Besides the waitress not changing out my order when I told her the chicken was extremely salty for the chicken and dumplings. Everything was great besides that.

It was empty, and yet courses took way too long

I really enjoyed the ambiance here especially Being able to sit outside. Chaz was great!! I do feel like the shrimp and avocado salad was over priced for that you get ..$16 for just shrimp avocado and lettuce literally. I hope that they work on that. Thanks!

Great dinner! Everyone was more than impressed with their meals. The restaurant itself is cute and southern chic. I would come back every time I’m in town and recommend to others!

Great food & service

Great place to eat. The food is good and you receive a good size portion. Be sure to try the fried chicken.
It can be noisy as it was this visit and you have to ask to move to a less quieter area. Service was outstanding and appreciate the check in by the waiter. Price is reasonable.

As always great meal. Was looking forward to Saturday meal and overall experience did not disappoint.

Great food and service, wish there were more dessert options. Suggestion: Brownie sundae :0)

Very good. Food is good. Place is a bit noisy. Service is fantastic.

Taylor, our server, was fantastic! Food is always wonderful.

This place never lets me down and the Vegetable plate is absolutely delicious. You don’t need to be a vegetarian to try it either. Kyle was a great waiter. I’ll be back!

We had such a great experience celebrating our first anniversary. The food was amazing. We tried what seasonal veggies we could. We shared the Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts - so amazing! Our drink pairings were perfect with our entrees. My husband had the trout and I tried the chicken and dumplings. We finished it off with a piece of the dark chocolate cake with a chocolate piece that said “happy anniversary” and two glasses of champagne. They gave us such a kind gift signing that evenings menu. It was a beautiful evening with great food! We can’t wait to come back.

Food was outstanding as always. My only complaint would be the cocktail I ordered. It was a Mojito but wasn’t really.

Excellent,
Brussel Sprouts and fried chicken - outstanding

Came here for a low key business lunch. Great food amd great service. We ordered deviled eggs and tomato soup to start. Both were delicious. We had sandwiches and fries for main course. So much food we took home leftovers!

Enjoyed this visit tremendously. Excellent patio and the staff did a great job. Much better than some of my past experiences.

Amazing Sunday supper, incredible service, beautiful outdoor ambiance, and the perfect date night at a reasonable price. Also hands down THE BEST brown sugar pie I’ve ever had. We’ll be back!

‘Sunday Supper” was stellar! Apparently a new thing for the restaurant, it’s an excellent meal at a more than reasonable price

Disappointing this visit. Have enjoyed Sunday Suppers at this venue in the past, but found food disappointing this time--over salted, just not interesting. On plus side, the deviled eggs and biscuits are still quite good, love the room.

Wait staff needs to be more sensitive about interrupting a conversation for just a pro forma, "how are things?" Three times the waitress butted in mid sentence.

Birthday and family dinner

Perfect spot for a nice but low key birthday outing

Waiter was the only thing good about this place. Very knowledgeable, very friendly. We chose outside seating not realizing the train tracks just around the corner allowing loud whistles and clanging of the passing trains...but that’s on us. The food however, was not pleasing. I had the shrimp and grits and received only 4 shrimp, with bland flavored grits with average sauce, too much garnishes making it more salad than not...my better half had the “famous” fried chicken that was surprisingly dry...and that’s just out right frustrating. Probably will not go back here. Hopefully they have a turnaround though and it was just an off night.

JCT was excellent as always! My wife and I had a date night along with our 5-month old and we were well taken care of. Winnie provided top notch service. The food was on point as always.

Came in and was given the option of dining inside or outside. Was led to a table in the courtyard. Seats could have had better cushioning. Our server Jonathan was personable, knowledgeable, and most of professional. Great food and great time!

I love this restaurant but when I bit into glass in my dessert I was shocked. I showed an employee and it took a long time before the manager came by and apologized. Then I looked on the bill and they took 7% off and charged me for the dessert... I’ve never had glass in my food but this is not what I expected from such a great restaurant. #disappointed

Visiting from California. Very nice restaurant with good food and excellent service.
