One Flew South Review

Excellent NY Strip with veggies in a horseradish sauce! Excellent and quick service.

A hoppin place to just sip and chat. Love the look and the outside seating in my favorite concourse E at ATL. Won't call it fine dining, but nice inside.

Had the pulled duck sandwich which had too much sweet BBQ sauce [wt?], very dry meat and a wimpy bun.. Not even fusion.. Not a fan, let it fly south. Have your duck in Beijing! Coleslaw side? Hmm.. No taste. Double strike.

Sushi kinda saved the day, but carries a hefty price of 15 plus for two pieces, delicious. Tuna and other yummy fish should be on your plate!

Terrific change from the regular airport hubbub. Very fresh food in a relaxing ambiance. I chose the local Reformation stout to go with my smoked trout roll and they played together *perfectly*. Worth changing concourses for if you're a foodie

Thyme roasted pork belly is amazing! Friendly fun staff. I highly recommend this place.

Sushi was good, but the price was so high, really made me feel like I got ripped off. Maybe I'm just not used to high end restaurants, but the few I am used to I still enjoy more. I would visit it if you're at the airport. But if you want to feel full for 20$ look somewhere else.

This is a nice open atmosphere with good food inside the airport security. Best airport food ever, and really good service.

Bar is the best airport bar in North America. Food is sublime.

Yesterday was the first time we came to that place. But It is obviously not the last. We had a good time with the attentive service, with the excellent dishes and fine drinks and with the friendly charge. We will definitely go back there soon.

Excellent food and cocktails. Would go here even if my choices weren't limited by being in the airport

Cozy and beautiful restaurant. Waiter is top notch with his service and the food is exceptional.

Best place to eat in Hartsfield Atlanta International airport. Thyme roasted pork belly is a unique and amazing dish.

The best airport dining experience I have ever had. If you have the time, definitely visit this restaurant in Concourse E.

Can't go wrong, best airport restaurant period. Awesome sushi and the pork belly or pulled duck are yummy!

Nicest restaurant at the airport, per the employees in the airline club.

Not your typical airport food! Well worth the walk/ride from whatever terminal you are in if you have the time.

Really good food. Enjoyed the experience in the ATL airport nice to be able to eat good food if you have a couple hour layover.

Good, not great sushi. Our tuna rolls had way too much connective tissue which made the rolls chewy and unappealing. Service is good and the atmosphere is pleasant .We might have just had a novice sushi chef.

Great food and a very laid back atmosphere. A nice place to get away from the typical airport chaos.

Rick our waiter was amazing!!!!! So classy and friendly. Our food and cocktails fast and fresh... Yummy!!!!
We will come back because of the amazing experience!!!!!

We were there for dinner on a Thursday evening. We waited 30 minutes for a table, which was what the hostess said would be the wait time, so that was OK. The server started out reasonably well with the sparkling water, but the wine took about 10 minutes to get. We ordered soup, both the chicken and the potato. 25 minutes later we were still waiting. When it finally came my husband asked, only partially joking, whether they had to make the soups to order. The server insisted that they actually did. My husband and I are both chefs. We thought it was probable the chicken soup was built when ordered, but the potato was certainly made in advance. Our suspicion was confirmed when the table next to us ordered potato soup and it arrived in less than 5 minutes.
Husband ordered the strip steak and I ordered a sushi roll for dinner. The steak was delivered by another server who didn't address us or make eye contact, so I didn't have a chance to ask where my dinner was. A minute or two later I saw our server and was sure he looked right at our table, so I thought he'd be right over with my sushi. No. He was cleaning up and then went to another table. Husband was waiting, not wanting to eat without me and his food was getting cold. He ended up getting up and following the server to tell him I didn't have me food. The server went to the sushi bar and got it. It was was done, but the server said the other server "didn't bother to look at the ticket.
The food was actually really good, once we were able to get it, but the wait was unacceptable, especially in an airport where people have planes to catch.
After dinner we had to catch the server to ask for the check. Then we had to flag him down again to get him to take it. The restaurant had slowed down considerably, and he was obviously doing his side work. The final straw was that another 10-15 minutes went by. We were actually standing next to our table with our suitcases waiting for him. He looked right at us more than once but didn't seem to understand that we hadn't gotten our credit card back yet and couldn't leave. It was getting close to our time to board, so irritated hubby flagged him down one more time. We later agreed that our server seemed to be under the influence of something, quite possibly Marijuana. He was glassy eyed and seemed spaced out.
If I end up on that concourse at dinner time again I would give them another chance because the food really was good, but I'll be hoping for a better over all experience.

Great atmosphere in this wayside airport restaurant. The food is delicious, prepared with care not normally seen in airport cuisine. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Amazing find in an airport. If you have time, it's a must go eat. I had the edamame and the salmon hot pot. Totally worth it.

wow, for an airport restaurant!! quiet, great service good food, great place to decompress.

As you ve already heard, best food in the airport. Additionally, also the best coffee. Good French press with freshly ground beans. Unexpectedly nice addition to the meal.

Food wise: the pulled duck sandwich is rich and delicious, the ramen is pretty good. Plus many other super nice dishes that are simply more thoughtfully prepared than standard airport restaurants.

Service, which always seems to suck in airports, is excellent. 10/10.

Love! I always stop in when I have a long layover in ATL... And I always hope I have a layover!!!

I've been here a few times. The menu items are confusingly pricey, but unfailingly very delicious. The cocktail list is updated frequently, and will seem innovative and exciting to anyone unfamiliar with the "crafted cocktails" fad. Even though it's an airport restaurant, the servers seem to expect you to walk in wearing a suit and tie, otherwise they talk to you as if you are lost like you wandered in accidentally.

Overpriced, even more so than typical airport food. The funniest thing to me was the 8 oz bottle of coke poured into a tiny goblet. No refills, 4 dollars. The whole thing just screams money grab.

Additionally, the waitress I had did not know the difference between the two draft beers they had available. TWO!! If presumably half or more of the patrons are from out of town, and you offer two draft beers, at least know the STYLE.

On a positive note, the soup portions are pretty substantial, inventive, and flavorful.

Love eating at One Flew South in Atlanta airport (top of escalator for concourse E, to the left). I sometimes intentionally pick flights with layover in ATL just so I can eat here. These are Poke tacos and Nearest to happiness cocktail (whiskey, Lillet rouge, lemon, simple, muddled blueberries & mint). A touch pricey (but hey it s fancy restaurant food in an airport). Always great quality and friendly service.

Since I was disappointed with the to-go burger from my second visit, I decided to give a proper opportunity as timer for that on my latest trip. I would highly suggest the rabbit risotto and after a few bits of advice...
* Place of food orders before 10 PM! The kitchen closes promptly then, and dine-in customers would do well to make haste as well.

* Whenever life foods to dine at such a fine establishment within the world s busiest airport, carpe diem! Allow plenty of time to enjoy yourself, and consider staying in the concourse instead of driving into town for a post-flight meal.

I wrote the five-star review below almost a year ago and finally had the chance to return for an encore. Time only allowed for a to-go order, and I was disappointed on a few counts. Despite calling in my burger order ahead, I waited close to 20 minutes after paying, and the bartender didn't bother to offer a glass of water. I was looking forward to the burger detailed in the online menu and surprised when my receipt showed the Seoul burger for several dollars more. I would have been satisfied with that change if the product we're quality, but the dual patties were mildly overdone Thankfully, the kimchi and sauce were there to save the day. All said, I look forward to another entree when I have time to dine inside or on the terminal "patio" but would recommend against that burger or any takeout for that matter.

Rickey is the type of server you'd expect to find at a five-star restaurant.

Good quality somewhat expensive sushi... but what else would you expect in an airport.

Best airport bar I've ever been to bar none. I make an effort to stop in everytime I'm in Atlanta, even if I'm not in E concourse. Food is great, staff is friendly, and the drinks are fantastic. Do yourself a favor and stop on in.

For those looking it's in concourse E in Atlanta Airport. I saw the good reviews and decided to trek over here and I'm so glad we did! The chicken soup had pho flavors and was delicious. Everything else we had was amazing too; the caulifour soup, meatloaf sandwich, and the sushi. The service was very good as well. We will definitely be back!

Best restaurant in the airport. A place I would want to go to on a Friday night. Great southern inspired cooking.

I asked the server for which ever dish on the menu that was the most popular. His reply was the salmon hot pot. Based on the name, I thought it will probably be a soup based dish. Nope, more like a vegetable stew with rice and a grilled salmon on top. The flavors were good but it didn't really work well together as I felt there were just too many different ingredients.

Who would've thought you could get good sushi in an airport (that isn't in Japan)? Although a bit pricey, it is very good quality fish and well made. The other dishes looked interesting and I also ended up getting the pork belly - while it was tasty, I preferred the sushi. I didn't sit at the sushi bar though it did look nice and I'd try that next time.

you already know the food is good by all the other reviews.

service: excellent, every time.
atmosphere: perfect for a sit down place in an airport. quiet, not too quiet.
sushi: gets its own category. i don't get sushi in random places. i get this sushi every time.

if it's in your budget and your have time at ATL, then you should eat here. it's that simple.

more than the food and the atmosphere, the employees make this special. they are hospitable and genuine.

it's so good that even on short layovers i make my way over to get food to go. are you convinced yet?

Delicous food, lots of variety even for my vegetarian wife.

Just another 5 star review for One Flew South. It's not airport food, it's just a great restaurant. Anytime I have a long enough layover I make my way to E concourse and have a local beer and a great meal. Staff is friendly, the decor makes it feel like I'm not in the middle of the world's busiest airport. I have been many times and will continue to go back, strongly recommend.

Excellent if you have a long layover, best food to be found in airport.

If you've got some time at Atlanta Hartsfield do yourself a favor and eat delicious food instead of airplane food. Your body will thank you!!!! Try the duck sandwhich or any of the Sushi rolls

Always fantastic! Best restaurant at the airport and one of the top in ATL.

Had a little over an hour before my flight departed and grabbed a seat at the bar. Immediately ordered the dirty south sandwich. Around the 25 minute mark I asked the bartender for an ETA. She said probably a few more minutes . 10 minutes passed and she finally went and checked. Came back and said it would be 10 more minutes. Waited another 15. Still no sandwich. So I left. Boarded my flight. No dinner. I would not recommend this place unless you ve got a long layover. And definitely ask how long the wait is on food.

I don't remember what I got (that should tell you something), I just remember it was mediocre. The best part of my meal was the fries and I'm almost positive they were from McDonald's. No joke, looked and tasted EXACTLY like McDonald's fries, except they weren't hot. They probably cooled off on the way from McDonald's!

Totally amazing. Sushi... Great restaurant. I forgot I was inside an airport!

Sat at sushi bar, chefs never closed their fish freezer door, letting it all get to room temperature. Service was slow, got my drink after i finished my roll..

Always love to stop here when I fly through Atlanta. They have amazing sushi as well as many other options! They are concise of your time constraints too.

Way overpriced even for an airport.
Food is good.
Fish quality is good.

The best restaurant at the airport. Order the Dirty South... you will not be disappointed!!

The menu is not up to date. I came specifically for the cocktails and they do not carry them anymore. Update your menu!

Nice food, nice drinks, friendly wait staff. Can be a bit of a wait though.

Trapped in Hartsfield for 5 hours. Asked Google for best restaurant. Did not disappoint. Great food, nice beer selection and wait staff was really good. Burned a couple of hours. Certainly not airport food as I have ever known it. Expect to pay for great food and service - but if you have a while and want something very out of the ordinary for an airport I would recommend strongly.

Fantastic food, if you find yourself in the airport in Atlanta with the time to catch a meal, OFS isn't just good by airport standards, it's good by any measure.

Great customer service! I ordered the Dragon Roll - awesome sauce!

I had a long layover in Atlanta airport so I decided to eat at the highest rated restauarnt in the airport, One Flew South, and It was indeed very good. Had a bowl of potato leek soup and the meatloaf sandwich which were great. Sushi looked good, too. And professional service.

OMG! This is a REAL restaurant on E concourse in the Atlanta airport!! My dinner was AMAZING....I had the Dirty South . There were so many different flavors going on with this dish. I savored every bite! I would highly recommend One Flew South to anyone traveling through the Atlanta airport and has time to linger over excellent southern food!

I've been lucky enough to have eaten here, twice. Both times, the wait was short, the staff friendly, and the food delicious. My only sadness is that I was so distracted by the sushi that I forgot to try Culinary Director Todd Richards' collard green ramen next time!

Food was great. Service slow. Server did not even seem to care that we wanted food quicker due to connecting flight.

THE BEST wait staff anywhere! Amazing considering you're in the airport!

Has to be one of the best airport eating places Ive been to, great staff and really nice food. Great to get vegetables not smothered in cheese or fully loaded

Couteous staff, fast service. My salmon was very good, a nice thick piece prepared just right. Some might think a bit pricey, but well worth it.

One of the first Hartsfield-Jackson airport fine-dining options. Love the bar area, but the dining area is long narrow and a little crowded.

The food is very good as well as the service. It is however very pricey.

As a frequent flyer, I first discovered One Flew about 5 years ago. This quickly became my Friday night dinner spot when I came through Atlanta. From the amazing menu, fresh sushi, to the top shelf bar, you will not not be disappointed! Hands down best food in the airport you will have. If you have more than an hour layover, it's worth the trip to e concourse for this experience.

When in Atlanta airport we always eat here. It s the best restaurant at the airport. Today we had a wonderful server, his name was John. He was prompt, great recommendations and he had a wonderful smile. We were very pleased with his service! I highly recommend this place!

This restaurant is on the E gates departure concourse. Decor is nice, even intimate. Bar has a cozy feel. Exceptionally diverse wine list for an airport restaurant. We ordered four sushi rolls, all of them were good. Service is polite and attentive. Worth the extra money over a typical dinner in the food court, if you have the time.

The food and the cocktails are amazing. It's not food you would believe you could eat in an airport. Definitely a must try.

I was not looking forward to my 4 hr layover until I experienced One Flew South... I almost missed my connection! The food is creative and absolutely delicious. The service is prompt and respectful of your time limitations.

Here's to future layovers in Atlanta!

Definitely have to check this place out if you are in the atlanta airport and you have a longer layover. We were seated promptly and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is relaxing visually stimulating. Our drinks were made well and were reasonable when you consider you are in an airport. The sushi was pretty good, our favorite roll was the kamikaze closely followed by the southern roll. While we were eating another patron asked about the flooring which the waiter then explained was from a barn that the original owners had on their land and was shipped to Atlanta. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

Sake paired with a pulled duck sandwich was absolutely the right call. First-class service even half an hour before closing. Pricey but worth it.

Gr8 Place, the service was top notch! I'm glad my gate ended up over in the E Terminal.

Need to pay more attention to details on the menu. Need to mention common good allergens in the list . I had mushrooms in my food and they were not mentioned in the list.

Usually love this place. Today was hopefully a rare let down. We were sat quickly but our server never came even after asking for one twice. We saw three tables get sat, had water and orders taken while we waited. No one checked in with us until we left. Hope this doesn t happen to you!

Quality is excellent "FOR AN AIRPORT". Always happy with the portions and knife skills of the sushi chefs.

Best airport food I ve ever had!! Waiter awesome!! Can t say enough good things about this place!!

Wonderful and fast food. Took about forty minutes to eat.

I always so in on my layover. Best place to eat in ATL airport. I highly recommend it. They make a good Old Fashioned to boot.
