So, my best friend (Atlanta newcomer) and I walked into Paschal's on a Monday afternoon starving to death! We both had been pretty busy for most of the day and I couldn't wait to show off the legendary Paschal's! When the basket of cornbread & butter came to the table she knew she was in for a surprise.... aside from sweet tea, it's the most southern perfection to pair with the best food south of the Mason Dixon. We ordered the sweet & savory platter to start. We chose the Cajun dry rub wings, voodoo shrimp, and calamari. First off, those are the juiciest, crispiest, wings ever in life! The flavor, omg Best wings in Atlanta!! The shrimp were HUGE and super succulent, and the calamari was fried perfection. I also ordered the 1947 fried chicken, my usual favorite guilty pleasure! The chicken is seasoned to perfection, with and amazing golden coating of crispy seasoned batter & unlike the usual chicken breast, ZERO DRYNESS DECTECTED! The Mac & cheese is a cheesy, creamy, melty dollop of heaven. Definitely better than anyone's granny or auntie! Basically we literally wobbled out of there!! Everyone should visit, and order 1 of everything on the menu! Lol Paschal's will always be one of my favorite Atlanta staples!

My husband and I stopped in for lunch during our time in Atlanta for the Primerica Convention at Mercedes Benz Stadium. We ordered the 1947 fried chicken with collard greens, macaroni & cheese, and an extra side of candied yams! From our very first bite we were amazed by the delicious flavors and crispness of the chicken. The chicken was moist and not dry. The entire meal tasted like I was at Grandma' kitchen table. The side dishes were also divine. The bite size cornbread was perfect, not dry with the perfect amount of sweetness. I had aGeorgia peach martini that not only looked amazing with all the colors but tasted terrific. Wish there was one of these restaurants in California but we will make Paschels a tradition of visiting in our future trips to Atlanta. Our waiter Justin provided great service and hospitality. Thank you!
