Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen & Bar

No restaurant in Atlanta does Gullah Geechee cuisine quite like Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen. A standout in an admittedly incredible string of Black-owned restaurants in Downtown College Park, Virgil’s impressive menu options—we’re talking okra soup, shark bites, and baked macaroni & cheese—are down-right heavenly. Plus, the friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, and overall communal vibes makes for one of the best bar and dining experiences in the city. 

During Soul Brunch at Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen & Bar, guests are privy to an extensive selection of colorful brunch offerings, including Bussin’ Cornmuffins, Fried Oystas, and the Afta Church Plate (a praise-worthy plate loaded with jam up wingz, macaroni ‘n cheese, and greenz). While Virgil’s has plenty of tasty dishes to help fill your belly, don’t forget about their breakfast cocktails. In addition to mimosas, Virgil’s serves up signature brunch sips, including Da Fishermen’s Sangria and Moscow Mimosa.
