Read a formal review (Meridith Ford gives you the run down...)

“Finally, someone knows how to make fried chicken!”
- Alton Brown, host of the Food Network’s Iron Chef America and Good Eats

“It’s [JCT. Kitchen & Bar] is the sort of spot that keeps things simple but still satisfies the senses. And your dreams, as well.” - Daily Candy Atlanta

“A place where style meets substance. This buoyant, family-friendly tea room is decidedly urban. The ‘Southern Farmstead Cooking,’ however maintains comfort of the country.” - GO, Air Tran Magazine
“It’s no ordinary railroad junction…This is a junction where it all comes together.”
- Carolyn O’Neil, Jezebel Magazine

“Everything about Fry's new Southern restaurant, JCT Kitchen (which he originally wanted to be an authentic taqueria), works. He has taken the fundamentals of great French bistro cooking and done with it what all gifted Southern cooks do: Cook great food. Fundamentals are, after all, fundamentals — no matter which side of the Atlantic you are on.”
- Meridith Ford, Food Critic for The Atlanta Journal Constitution

“The owners have thrown open the space with light, easy on the eyes design and lots of good Southern cooking at neighborhood prices… JCT serves what chef Ford Fry calls 'Southern farmstead cooking.' Think buttermilk-brined fried chicken, fried apple pie, chopped salad and a citified version of chicken and dumplings that seems to be struggling — deliciously — with issues of latent coq au vin-ism.”
- John Kessler, Food Editor of The Atlanta Journal Constitution
