Greenwoods has a fantastic, quaint atmosphere in Roswell. The food is the classic home cooking of the south with greens, mac and cheese, fried chicken, broccoli casserole, etc. All of it is freshly made and tastes wonderful! The pies are a must...even if you have to take a slice home for later on. The meals will fill you up with plenty of leftovers to spare.

Haven't been here in awhile cuz we moved--but now that I saw it online--I am going next week, I miss it so much. Everything is good , but way to big of portions so you should really share an entree and all the fixins with a friend or plan on taking left overs. Service always excellent. Somtimes long wait but sit and chill in the country ambience. Pros: food, parking Cons: wait time

Love this restaurant. I guess that's because I'm a crab cake lover being from Baltimore, and they have the very best crab cakes in Atlanta. They are really Maryland crab cakes. So, it's worth a trip there just for that. And it's a nice, friendly family restaruant.

Don't forget Greenwood's simply because it's a long-lived restaurant. Bill is there everyday with his welcoming smile and fine attention to quality and service. The prices and quality are especially important in this economic time when entertainment monies are really budgeted. I like that Greenwood's is open for lunch everyday so that I can dine whenever I want and not be tied into any closing time (and still have plenty to take home in a "doggy bag" to have a light supper). Even though I'm a bulgur wheat/yogurt kind of person, the freshly ground hamburger which fills the homemade sourdough roll with all the trimmings AND a vegetable side or the tasty fried catfish fillets with tartar sauce made daily along with the two vegetable sides are impossible to pass up. Even my Southern mom says they are the best she has ever put in her mouth. By the way, with reference to one of your reviews, Greenwood's DOES take credit cards and DOES make sweet tea. I especially like the personable service--a respite from some of the pouty, can't-be-bothered servers you normally encounter--the continuing quality, the emphasis on organic produce and meats and all enjoyed in the beauty and serenity of the gardens. BTW, those are old hours. Greenwood's is open Wed - Sunday from 11:30 to 9:00 or 10:00 pm (sorry I can't remember exactly but I do know they don't close after the usual lunch hours). Pros: Service/quality of food Cons: Have to know where to park (like across the street at the other restaurant)/I wish parents would keep their kids seated.

Greenwood's is a great place to go with friends and family for a home cooked meal. The prices are reasonable even if no sharing meals is allowed. They have outside seating and good desserts!

I was raised on southern food; my grandmother could make biscuits like nobody's business and that was just the beginning. I won't say that Greenwood's rivals my grandmother's cooking, but they do offer a much more updated southern taste. I've tried a couple of different dishes there and each have been very tasty. They don't put on aires when it comes to presentation, but they don't need to with the tasty dishes they put out. The atmosphere is eclectic and this place is definitely worth a visit. Pros: Good "Updated" Southern Food, Atmosphere, Desserts Cons: None

I really don't get why people seem to think so much of this place: I definitely didn't care for the "Californian" take on classic Southern cuisine (although I think the owner is actually from Baltimore). They don't even serve sweet tea! How can you not have sweet tea at a restaurant that supposedly specializes in Southern food? I wanted the shrimp and grits, but they had run out of that, so I had the fried chicken. I found the lemon pepper batter to be unpleasantly sweet: the honey was more than just an accent. I prefer a classic, savory crust on my fried chicken. My husband had the meatloaf, which he said was okay, but not great. The place was crowded and the wait was over 45 minutes to get a table. The only thing really worth eating was the pie: I had the coconut custard pie, and it was fairly tasty. My husband had a slice of apple pie, and that was decent as well. However, good dessert is not enough of an incentive for me to return. I can't say it's the worst meal I've had in the metro area, but it was one of the most overrated. I hate to say it, but I suspect that a lot of the reviewers may be transplants who just don't know what good Southern food actually is! I keep searching for a meat-and-three veg place that will match some of the little places in my home state of South Carolina; I've heard Matthew's in Tucker is good, but their hours make it impossible for me to get there. Overall, I found Greenwood's to be a disappointing experience. Pros: The pie is decent; portions are enormous. Cons: Crowded and completely overrated.

This is the best southern cookin in all of the metro atlanta area!!! The plum sauce duck could make you cry but make sure someone at the table orders the fried chickin. The service is consistantly good and the veggies are right from Mr. Greenwood's garden lot of the time. Go ready to eat, the portions are huge. The only thing lacking is the wine list, with such a amazing dish as the duck i wanted to drink a nice bottle of robust Oregon Pinot Noir.The owner would in no way budge on a corkage fee.All around A+++ Pros: Great Service, Amazing Food, Huge desserts Cons: poor winelist, long waits, owner's huge ego

We could take my out-of-town, 91 year old aunt anywhere. We took the chance and treated her and ourselves to a first-time visit to Greenwood's. My wife and I are 49 ... my son 15 ... Aunt Tinnie 91. That's 204 years of eating experience at one table ... and we all agreed - it's the best ever ! Aunt Tinnie says "Thank You Greenwood's !" Pros: atmosphere, quality, service
