Vickery’s Bar & Grill has been
in East Atlanta since 1983. It is one of the many restaurants in the Southeast
that specializes in a modern and fancy interpretation of Southern food (normally
not my thing). It looks a bit like a fancy sports bar, sending vibes of
inclusion and exclusion at the same time. The waiter is fairly pretentious but
fails to remember most of our orders and regularly returns to ask again (write
it down dude!).
We started with the Fried Calamari ($11), which comes with sweet
chili sauce, cilantro, and onions & peppers. It was absolutely delicious!
The Maytag Bleu Cheese Chips ($7) with bacon, chives, blue cheese crumbles,
pico de gallo & bleu cheese sauce (all cheese on side) was also very good.
Chips were fresh and crunchy. I then moved on to the Fried Catfish Sandwich
($12), one of the few Southern things I really like. The large piece of catfish
was fresh and pan-fried and came with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, cilantro, and tartar sauce
on Cuban bread. One of the best I have ever had! The accompanying fries are
tasty but nt remarkable.
VERDICT: 91/100
While
technically not a real pig out spot, but a serious restaurant, it serves
various pig out staples (burgers, fried fish and chicken), and does so
deliciously.
