Chicken + Beer

The 90-seat restaurant is Jackmont Hospitality’s second independently developed concept at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, following One Flew South, which opened nearly a decade ago and became the first airport restaurant in the U.S. to be a contender for the prestigious James Beard Award. Chicken + Beer serves Southern-style comfort food and locally sourced beers parallel an ambient cool vibe from the playlist to the bold wall art. Boasting reimagined classics like the Battered Catfish with Corn Edamame Succotash and Parsnip Purée, and Luda’s Chicken and Pecan Waffles with Whiskey Maple Syrup and Andouille Sausage, the menu integrates lesser used staples of the traditional Southern catalogue, such as Stout Braised Beef Cheeks with Sweet Potato Mash. The beer selection spotlights an array of local varieties, including those from local favorites Sweetwater and Terrapin, as well as styles from up-and-coming craft breweries Monday Night Brewing, Creature Comfort, Orpheus and Reformation.
