Glenn's Kitchen

Southern Comfort Just Steps from the Stage

Located inside the historic Glenn Hotel in downtown Atlanta, Glenn's Kitchen offers a warm, inviting space with a modern Southern twist. Just a short walk from major music venues like State Farm Arena and the Tabernacle, this stylish spot blends contemporary American cuisine with Southern hospitality. Think upscale comfort food, exposed brick walls, and an intimate vibe that’s equal parts cozy and sophisticated.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its prime location just minutes from Atlanta’s top performance halls, Glenn’s Kitchen is a go-to for music lovers wanting a quality meal before the show. The restaurant’s relaxed yet refined atmosphere makes it easy to enjoy a conversation without shouting over the crowd. Service is often described as attentive and timely, so you won’t be late for your opener. Plus, the menu is packed with satisfying bites perfect for fueling up—think shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and hearty burgers.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends meeting up before the show
• Solo travelers grabbing a seat at the bar or a quiet table
• Couples looking for a romantic bite before a concert
• Fans seeking a lively but not overwhelming space
• Budget-conscious music fans who want quality without splurging

What People Say

Diners love the Southern-inspired dishes with a modern presentation. Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable regularly mention the friendly staff, smooth service, and inviting ambiance. Many guests highlight the convenience to events downtown as a major plus. The rooftop bar upstairs (SkyLounge) is also frequently praised for pre- or post-show drinks with skyline views.

Areas for Improvement

While most reviews are positive, some guests note that the menu isn’t huge—so if you’re a picky eater, you might want to check it out ahead of time. Also, because it’s inside a hotel, the atmosphere can feel more subdued than a stand-alone hotspot.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for solid Southern fare, quick service, and a chill upscale vibe within walking distance of Atlanta’s music venues, Glenn’s Kitchen hits all the right notes.
