I am from south Louisiana and moved to Atlanta in '02. I kept looking for a restaurant that had authentic Louisiana food. I found it at Mc Kinnons. I have yet to be disappointed with the food. Granted, some dishes are better than others, but nothing I have had has been a disappointment. The prices are reasonable, especially considering other fresh seafood establishments in Atlanta are much more costly.\r

The outside of the building needs work (it's located in a small strip mall one block off of Peachtree just south of the Piedmont/Peachtree intersection) and the inside could use a little sprucing up, but all in all it has a very nice charm. It reminds me of the old time neighborhood restaurants in New Orleans and Lafayette. The wait staff is extremely efficient. A water glass never goes unfilled and they extremely professional. I would put the wait staff up against any five star staff.\r

The piano bar is festive on Friday and Saturday nights. It's mostly an older crowd, but a fair amount of guests from my generation (I'm 35) are there as well. It's a nice mix.
Pros: Food, Service, Piano Bar area
Cons: Located in old Strip Mall
