This Is It! Southern Kitchen & Bar-B-Q, Seafood restaurant in East Point, Georgia.
This Is It! Southern Kitchen & Bar-B-Q is a Southern food restaurant in East Point, a city just south of Atlanta in Georgia. The menu centers on hickory-smoked meats, fresh seafood, and traditional side dishes made with regional ingredients.
The restaurant was founded in 1983 by Shelley 'Butch' Anthony III and has stayed in the Atlanta area ever since. Over four decades, it built its name around Southern cooking and kept the same approach to food that it started with.
Southern cooking in this part of Georgia often brings barbecue and seafood together on the same menu, and this kitchen does exactly that. Ordering here gives a real sense of how people in the region eat, with slow-cooked meats sitting alongside fresh fish and vegetables.
The restaurant sits in East Point, which is easy to reach by car and connects well to Atlanta's transit network. If you are coming with a group or want to reserve space for a private event, it is worth calling ahead.
All vegetable sides are made fresh every day, not prepared in advance, which is something many visitors do not expect from a barbecue-focused kitchen. This daily routine applies to nearly every side on the menu, not just a few.
