Revival - Decatur

Ryan at Revival helped me plan my son?s rehearsal dinner and it was wonderful. We picked the family style menu and there was more than enough food. There were gluten free and vegetarian options available in addition to the three meat/fish options. Everyone said the food was amazing. Brandy was our main server/hostess and she and her team did a great job explaining how things were going to work and keeping everything flowing. I was very pleased as were the bride and groom.

We went to celebrate our anniversary with some friends and had a wonderful experience. The portion sizes were just right, and both our server and the bartender were incredibly friendly. Everything we tried was delicious, and the fried catfish was possibly the best I've ever had.

Revival is a charming restaurant situated in what appears to be an old house in downtown Decatur. My group tried several dishes, and most of them were quite tasty! The catfish and seafood pie were highlights, as were the collard greens and mushrooms. However, the fried green tomatoes were rather bland, and the bread pudding was a bit runny. The service was somewhat slow, but overall, we had a lovely dinner experience.

Fantastic service. Catered to our requests for vegetarian adjustments and food was quick to the table. Southern fried chicken was perfect to the bite. Collard greens had a spicy Tang which was a nice surprise. Banana bread pudding was served warm, tasty but I would have liked something to balance the sweetness. Pound cake Banana pudding meringue became one note after a while .. needed a black coffee after : but a great introduction for me to southern food!!

This is the second time we’ve dined here, and we’ll be returning every time we visit Decatur! The menu offers such a wide variety of options that it feels new each time. The food is outstanding! We live in a place with many Southern diners that offer the classic "meat and three," but they don't truly represent authentic Southern cuisine. Revival does, along with the warm Southern hospitality that is famous (yet can be hard to find). You’ll experience it here! It has been a delightful and wonderful evening.
