Went here on a date and was incredibly disappointed. The “crispy pork” was DRENCHED in treacle which is SUCH a divisive ingredient so I would have appreciated a warning on the menu. The pork was fatty NOT crispy by any means. You can even see where my partner was scraping off the “glaze”. If you’re gunna glaze meat I feel like it shouldn’t be a half inch thick …. The staff was friendly but inattentive. They really tried to make up for the food by comping the drinks but overall I was very disappointed overall with service and food quality. Like I mentioned, the staff (when we flagged them down) were so sweet. It was just overall bad vibes… will not be back

Great place we're lucky to have it. Music could be a little quieter at times, it's not really a yell to hear your table mate kind of a place.

Hidden gem. One of the best restaurants in ATL. Seasonal menu, great prices.

This place is fantastic! The food was delicious, the drinks - oh man, the bartender is amazing, and the music in the background was perfect!!! Ask the Team for recommendations and they will absolutely steer you in the right direction.

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!

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

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!).Parking: A good amount of spots for the area, though it can still fill up when it’s busy.
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.Also, the service here is always friendly and attentive. Not to mention, the whole place has a cozy vibe to it in general. Feels like a nice place to just unwind after a long day, and have a bite of amazing food. You don't even need to drink, either. I come in just for the food!

My dog and I dined on the heated porch, which was wonderful that they're dog-friendly.The wait staff was very attentive to both me and Big Baby. They brought her a water-bowl and gave her a treat.I had the rainbow trout with lentils, and it was the best piece of fish I've ever eaten (and that includes trout fresh out of a Maine lake on the Appalachian Trail!).I paired it with a Left Handed "Death Before Disco" Porter that was smooth and chocolaty.Can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings. Highly recommended.
Goood food coupled with even better cocktails, has both uncovered and covered patio options to enhance the experience during good weather seasons.
