The Mill Kitchen & Bar
590 Mimosa Boulevard, Roswell, GA, 30075
770-817-9345
It’s hard to feel enthused about yet another restaurant serving what it deems “modernized Southern comfort food”—in other words, the done-to-death cliches like deviled eggs, pimento cheese, shrimp and grits, and fried chicken that riddle menus in every corner of the metro area.

Watershed on Peachtree
1820 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA, 30309

New American and European influences now thread through the menu, but executive chef Joe Truex is at his best when he draws from his Louisiana upbringing, which particularly shines through in his jambalaya.

White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails
270 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA, 30303
404-524-7200
This Downtowner doesn’t offer regional dishes so much as Southern sides and sauces arranged around familiar proteins in busy but harmonized ways, a particularly successful approach with entrees like duck breast with redeye ham gravy.
