Literally, our go-to restaurant. The place is always full of regulars for damn good reason. Food is Michelin nod quality but the place never feels stuffy or pretentious. I could drink the paprika sauce that comes with the lamb skewers by the gallon. Check out their other restaurant in Avondale for another great spot.

We stopped by Poor Hendrix while we were house hunting and were so glad we did. The food was fantastic! The portions were small but it was just the right amount of food to satisfy us. We ordered the steak skewers as an appetizer and the taste was amazing. My husband got the Grilled Cheese on Sourdough and said, "it is the Platonic ideal of grilled cheese", but he is being deliberately pretentious. I got the Peruvian Fried Chicken Sandwich which was good and not something I could have found anywhere else. The service displayed a team spirit as we were sitting at the bar and at least three different people provided friendly and accommodating help. The ambiance was lively and had a real neighborhood feel to it. We didn't end up buying a house in the area and is not somewhere we would normally go, but it is worth the drive to go back.

In the next installation of my Michelin reviews, this cute neighborhood bar was a lovely meal. I sat outside on the patio and was shielded from the rain that briefly came down. I also love the neighborhood, having been a fan of PERC forever. I like that the menu wasn't too extensive so it wasn't hard for me to pick what to order. I got the sweet potatoes, asparagus, and a specialty green goddess chicken with farro entree. I finished with the rice krispy treat (not pictured) and tried a vodka soda based cocktail. Everything tasted great and the servers were friendly/helpful despite managing a busy restaurant. The rice krispy treat definitely tasted home-made and not store bought. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the starters almost tasted too strong in some respects. I would still come back to try other small plates.

Solid drinks and great staff. The salmon tartare was good and the second time I went I had the cod and fries which were great. Prices are super reasonable and not like all this absurd pricing you see in Atlanta. Cute little neighborhood spot with ample parking.

love Poor Hendrix... specifically for the bar food when we have a sitter. My favorite are the spicy mushroom skewers. Their buffalo wings are def in my top 3... and the accompanying sauces are excellent. Bartenders are always cool and attentive. I love that it is close to my house.

Love this place! We shared small plates, and the sweet potatoes are to die for! Cute atmosphere, great service, lots of gluten free options, reasonable prices, and free parking. What more can you ask for? This is in the rotation as a "go to" place for a dinner out!

Poor Hendrix is a really nice spot for a late night bite to eat. You can get anything from classic Buffalo wings, or something totally different like trout skins and spicy peanut cold noodles. Can't go wrong with either! Definitely will be coming back for more in the near future. Also, the service here is always friendly and attentive. Not to mention, the whole place has a cozy vibe to it in general. Feels like a nice place to just unwind after a long day, and have a bite of amazing food. You don't even need to drink, either. I come in just for the food!

An Open Letter To The Owners: This email could not wait. I stopped into your establishment tonight and I can't say enough how much my cousin and I enjoyed ourselves. From the atmosphere, to the food, to the service. Bravo. We walked away talking about the food and even making a point to note that we must come back tomorrow for dessert and a drink to celebrate my cousins birthday. That grilled cheese is not just any old grilled cheese but an elevated experience, maybe a little dramatic but maybe even tear inducing. I walked away noting that this was comfort food done well and I felt comfortable and welcome. Brandon was a gem and he was extremely attentive. I don't normally give 5 star reviews because well it my first visit and I like to go a second time to make sure it wasn't a fluke. You DESERVE .
