Atlanta has tons and tons of delicious restaurants to check out, and we’re so excited to be home to one of Yelp’s top 25 ‘Best New Restaurants in the South 2024’! Coming in at number 18, Southern National is Atlanta’s claim to fame on this list of incredible eateries in the south!
Why did Southern National make the list?
To choose the very best new restaurants in the south, Yelp identified full-service businesses in the restaurant category found in the southern region. All of these spots opened after January 31, 2023, which makes them ‘new’ additions to their respective culinary scene! Then Yelp pros ranked those restaurants based off of several factors, including ratings and reviews from Yelp between January 31, 2023, and May 1, 2024!
With a flood of amazing reviews and happy customers, it was no wonder Southern National made this year’s list of new spots! Yelp reflects on Chef Duane Nutter’s ability to craft mouthwatering meals. They say:
Nutter blends traditional Southern comfort foods with inventive flourishes to create an imaginative menu that reflects his life, travels, and interests. Classics like fried oysters and pork chops share space with Tandoori Cauliflower and Harissa Roasted Carrots—and it all harmonizes perfectly, according to fans.
