Fodor's Expert Review Watershed on Peachtree

Indigo Girl Emily Saliers and three of her friends originally launched this casual restaurant in Decatur, and it eventually became an Atlanta classic renowned for its fried chicken. The farm-to-table theme and a menu full of updated Southern comfort food continues in the current Buckhead location. Think freshly baked cornbread, pimento cheese toast with a smoked ham hock, and poached scallops. And don't forget about the fried chicken, served only on Wednesdays—get there while the gettin' is good.
