I love this place. Fair prices, delicious and fun food and drinks, and wonderful atmosphere. I come here all the time. I love the grilled cheese with tomato soup. It's one of the greatest foods I've eaten. The focaccia sandwich is amazing too and the shrimp and grits (when they have it) was divine. Definitely worth a visit. Oh, and the cocktails are wonderfully strong:)
Absolutely fantastic spot! Creative and delectable dishes at surprisingly affordable prices, and delicious craft cocktails served up in an intimate environment. If I have one complaint, it's their seating policy. They don't take reservations and they don't have a hostess, so when you show up, you're competing with others for the next available table. It's...suboptimal. Nonetheless, definitely worth checking this place out. I'll certainly be back, but probably on a week night to avoid fighting fellow patrons for a table.
Poor Hendrix is delightful! The food and drinks are great – as someone who avoids alcohol, I'm a big fan of the fact they stock non-alcoholic beer. And my wife loves the cocktail selection. The food is always tasty and creative.
More importantly, the staff are all great, and the atmosphere is perfect. Poor Hendrix is a new discovery for us, and I'm so glad we found it!
The sweet potato with garlic purée was delicious. The rest of the food was also good. Service is friendly. The menu changes all the time. This is a good eatery. They have outdoor seating.
The only reason I didn't write a review sooner is selfishly I didn't want more people coming here. It's hands down my favorite restaurant in Atlanta and I absolutely love it here. There's not a single bad dish on the menu, the cocktails and mocktails are delicious and the staff here is absolutely the best. They've been working here for so long, are incredibly friendly and make this spot feel like the community watering hole. They have a spicy cold noodle dish that's a staple of their menu and it takes me back to my childhood as it's a dish my dad used to make me growing up. The mushroom caps skewers absolutely slap, wings are fantastic and you know the food is incredible if the leftovers the next day still hold up. Great option for vegetarian friendly food and a Friday night spot.

We love going to Poor Hendrix as our go to neighborhood spot for a quick bite. The grilled cheese is a must and we usually rotate between ordering the buffalo cauliflower and the cold noodles. But everything is on the menu is fantastic! Love trying their rotating dishes as well. Vibes and staff are awesome. It’s a great spot in the east lake area.
We love Poor Hendrix! Their menu rotates, but I’ll usually get the tomato soup and grilled cheese or the Italian grinder. My husband loves the curry fried chicken sandwich. Good cocktails, though we usually stick to beer (and don’t skip the rice krispie treats!).
Came here from the Michelin list, expecting good and left speechless... actually, no, with too much to say. Everything was sooooooo yummy! The dumplings alone deserved a star-- what a fascinating little dish! The grilled cheese and soup were a strong competitor for best entree. Brussell sprouts and cauliflower--wow, wow-- best meatless Monday I've had! Thank you!!
Poor Hendrix is a really nice spot for a late night bite to eat. You can get anything from classic Buffalo wings, or something totally different like trout skins and spicy peanut cold noodles.
Can’t go wrong with either! Definitely will be coming back for more in the near future.
This is one of the go to restaurants for my husband and I. The menu slightly rotates. I haven’t had a bad item, but favorites are peanut noodles, grilled mushrooms, 2x sweet potatoes, buffalo califlower
