SIX FEET UNDER (Westside)

He says:
We recently visited Six Feet Under’s newest location at 11th and Northside Drive. In contrast to the original’s gritty, dive bar feel, everything about SFU-Westside is more polished, more new… more Midtown. That’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, it’s just different. There is considerably more seating and the booths are more spacious. Instead of an outdoor patio overlooking Oakland Cemetery, there is a spectacular view of Midtown and Downtown Atlanta.

She says:
One similarity between the two is that once the sun goes down, the breeze makes both patios a chilly place to be. Bring a jacket!

He says:
The other constant is the kitchen, which still serves some of the best catfish in town. I ordered the catfish po’ boy, a large filet of fried catfish with lettuce, tomatoes, and remoulade on a hoagie bun. The hoagie could have been toasted longer, and the lettuce could have been fresher, but the catfish was terrific. Moist inside and crunchy outside, it’s still my go-to platter at SFU. The home style chips were better than I expected, but my side order of zucchini potato hash, which the waiter described as a hash brown spin-off, was a limp, flavorless mess. At SFU, I say stick to the basics.

She says:
I had the combo tacos, a great way to try three different types of seafood. One taco comes with fried calamari, another with blackened shrimp, and the third with grilled catfish. Each has its original filling ingredients, from fried jalapenos to fried leeks and cucumber wasabi. All were delicious.

We say:
SFU 2.0 = A-OK
