Tucked away in Atlanta’s Grant Park neighborhood, Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House has built a serious reputation for serving seafood that keeps people coming back again and again. With over 9,800 glowing reviews and a 4.5-star rating, this casual spot at 437 Memorial Dr SE is clearly doing something right.
Their fish and chips, in particular, have become the stuff of local legend — golden, crispy, and packed with flavor. Whether you’re a longtime Atlanta local or just passing through, this is one meal you won’t forget anytime soon.
The Legendary Fish and Chips
Some dishes earn their reputation one bite at a time, and the fish and chips at Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House have done exactly that. Reviewers rave about the perfectly fried fish, calling it a standout among Atlanta’s seafood scene.
The batter is light yet crispy, and the fish inside stays moist and flaky.
Paired with thick-cut chips that have the satisfying crunch of kettle-style fries, this dish delivers on every level. One reviewer even noted the house chips were “thick like kettle chips” — a small detail that makes a big difference.
Whether you’re stopping in after a concert at The Eastern or exploring Grant Park for the first time, ordering the fish and chips here feels like a no-brainer. Fair portions, great flavor, and a price point that won’t leave your wallet hurting make this an easy win.
The Rooftop Dining Experience
Eating good food is one thing, but eating good food with a view? That’s a whole different level.
Six Feet Under’s rooftop deck overlooks the historic Oakland Cemetery, giving diners one of the most unique and surprisingly charming views in all of Atlanta.
Guests consistently describe the rooftop as the highlight of their visit. The sunset from up there is genuinely stunning — one reviewer even mentioned a staff member kindly lowering a shade screen when the sun got too bright.
That kind of thoughtful service makes the whole experience feel special.
Unlike the downstairs area with TVs and bar energy, the rooftop is screen-free, making it ideal for real conversation and relaxed dining. Going on a warm evening?
Grab a rooftop table and soak it all in. Just make a reservation on weekends — this spot fills up fast.
The Clam Chowder Worth Talking About
Not every seafood restaurant in a landlocked city can pull off a solid clam chowder, but Six Feet Under manages to make one that keeps showing up in customer reviews — and not in a bad way. Multiple diners have called it “good” and noted a decent clam-to-potato ratio that feels hearty without going overboard.
One happy customer said the chowder was so filling, she needed a carry-out box before even finishing her main course. That’s the kind of problem you want to have at a restaurant.
It’s rich, warming, and works perfectly as a starter on a cool Atlanta evening.
A few reviewers noted the chowder leans heavier on black pepper than a classic New England style, so if you prefer a milder bowl, just keep that in mind. Either way, it’s absolutely worth trying at least once on your first visit.
Blackened Shrimp Tacos That Steal the Show
Forget basic tacos — the blackened shrimp tacos at Six Feet Under are a whole mood. Reviewers describe them as fresh, flavorful, and satisfying in a way that makes you want to order a second round before you’ve even finished the first.
One diner raved that the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and paired beautifully with the fresh toppings. The blackened seasoning gives each bite a slightly smoky kick without overpowering the natural sweetness of the shrimp.
It’s a balance that’s hard to get right, and this kitchen nails it.
The taco combo option — which lets you mix fish, shrimp, and grilled scallops — is especially popular. The scallop taco in particular has earned its own fan club among regulars.
If you can’t decide what to order, the taco combo is genuinely one of the smartest choices on the entire menu at this Grant Park gem.
Oysters Rockefeller Done Right
There’s a reason Oysters Rockefeller has been a classic for over a century — when made well, it’s absolutely irresistible. At Six Feet Under, this dish gets the respect it deserves.
Reviewers call them “yummy” and note that the preparation is careful and satisfying without being overly heavy.
The caramelized topping, creamy filling, and perfectly baked oyster shell create a combination that feels indulgent but not excessive. One reviewer specifically praised the quality of the oysters, calling them a high-end treat worth every penny.
That kind of consistency is what separates a good restaurant from a great one.
Pair the Oysters Rockefeller with a craft beer from the tap selection, and you’ve got a starter combo that’s hard to beat anywhere in Atlanta. For seafood lovers who appreciate the classics done with care, this dish alone might be reason enough to make the trip to Grant Park.
Jalapeño Hush Puppies with a Kick
Hush puppies might seem like a simple side dish, but Six Feet Under has made them into something people genuinely talk about. The jalapeño version adds just enough heat to keep things interesting without setting your mouth on fire — a crowd-pleasing balance that works for most spice tolerance levels.
One reviewer described them as having “the right crunch,” which honestly says it all. That satisfying outer crisp with a soft, slightly spicy interior is exactly what a great hush puppy should be.
They come out hot and fresh, making them nearly impossible to stop eating once you start.
Opinions do vary slightly — some felt the spice level was mild on certain visits — but most agree they’re a solid addition to any meal. Order them as a starter or alongside your fish and chips for a true Southern seafood experience.
They go especially well with a cold craft beer from the tap.
The Catfish Basket Locals Love
Ask a Six Feet Under regular what they order every single time, and there’s a good chance catfish comes up. The fried catfish basket has quietly built a loyal following among Atlanta diners who know their Southern seafood.
Golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside — it hits all the right notes.
One reviewer made it a post-walk ritual, stopping in after a stroll through Oakland Cemetery specifically for catfish and a Caesar salad. That kind of routine speaks volumes about consistency.
When a dish is good enough to plan your afternoon around, you know it’s doing something special.
The portions are generous, making it easy to share — though once you taste it, sharing might not come naturally. Pair it with onion rings or zucchini fries for a full Southern-style spread.
This is comfort food done with genuine care, and it shows up on the plate every single time.
Salmon with Grits and Garlic Butter Spinach
Not everything at Six Feet Under is battered and fried — and the salmon with grits proves the kitchen has serious range. This dish combines perfectly cooked salmon with creamy grits and spinach sauteed in garlic butter, creating a plate that feels both elevated and deeply comforting at the same time.
One diner celebrated Mother’s Day with this dish and described it with nothing but praise, calling it a standout among a table full of great orders. The garlic butter spinach alone is worth mentioning — it adds a richness that ties the whole plate together beautifully.
It’s the kind of dish that makes you slow down and actually savor each bite.
For anyone who thinks seafood restaurants only cater to fried-food fans, this dish is a welcome surprise. It shows that Six Feet Under puts real thought into every section of the menu, not just the crowd-pleasing classics.
A genuinely impressive plate from start to finish.
The Grouper Sandwich Everyone Orders
Few things in life are as satisfying as a perfectly made fish sandwich, and the grouper sandwich at Six Feet Under has earned serious praise from diners across the board. Reviewers consistently call it delicious, with the fish cooked just right and the toppings adding freshness without overwhelming the star of the show.
Grouper is a firm, mild white fish that holds up beautifully to the sandwich format — no falling apart, no soggy bun, just clean and satisfying bites from start to finish. Paired with the house chips, which one reviewer compared favorably to thick kettle chips, this is a lunch or dinner combo that delivers real value.
It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you understand why people come back to Six Feet Under week after week. Simple in concept, excellent in execution.
If you’re visiting for the first time and can’t decide what to order, the grouper sandwich is a completely safe and delicious bet.
Craft Beers and Creative Cocktails
A great seafood meal deserves an equally great drink, and Six Feet Under delivers on that front with a solid lineup of craft beers on tap and creative cocktails that go well beyond the basics. The bourbon lemonade, in particular, has developed a fan base of its own — reviewers describe it as refreshing, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced with citrus.
The blueberry lemonade is another crowd favorite, especially for those who prefer something fruity and non-alcoholic or lighter in spirit. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the Six Feet Under Oyster Shot — a Bloody Mary-style drink with an oyster — is the kind of experience you’ll be talking about long after the meal is over.
The bar atmosphere downstairs is lively and social, with TVs and comfortable seating that makes it easy to settle in for a while. Whether you’re a beer person or a cocktail fan, the drink menu here has something worth ordering alongside your fish and chips.
Fried Green Tomatoes with Dipping Sauce
Southern food fans, take note: the fried green tomatoes at Six Feet Under are a real treat. Served with a creamy ranch-style dipping sauce, they strike that ideal balance between crispy coating and tender, slightly tangy tomato inside.
It’s a classic Southern starter done with genuine skill.
Multiple reviewers have highlighted this dish as a table favorite, with one diner’s mom specifically requesting them during a Mother’s Day celebration. That kind of cross-generational appeal says a lot about how well this dish is executed.
The sauce on the side adds a cool, herby contrast that makes each bite feel complete.
At a restaurant known primarily for its seafood, fried green tomatoes might seem like an unexpected standout — but that’s exactly what makes Six Feet Under interesting. The kitchen clearly cares about every dish on the menu, not just the headliners.
Start your meal with these and you’ll set the right tone for everything that follows.
A View That Makes Every Meal Better
Here’s something you don’t hear every day: eating next to a 19th-century cemetery is actually a fantastic dining experience. Six Feet Under sits directly across from Oakland Cemetery, one of Atlanta’s oldest and most historically significant landmarks, and the view from the rooftop deck is genuinely one-of-a-kind.
Far from being eerie, guests consistently describe the atmosphere as interesting, unique, and oddly peaceful. The cemetery’s tree canopy, historic monuments, and open green space create a surprisingly beautiful backdrop for a meal.
At sunset, the whole scene takes on a golden glow that makes even a casual Tuesday dinner feel memorable.
If you’re visiting Atlanta and want to combine great seafood with a little local history, this is the spot to do it. Oakland Cemetery is open to visitors during the day, so consider a walk through the grounds before heading upstairs to the rooftop for fish and chips.
It’s an Atlanta afternoon well spent.
Calamari Seasoned to Perfection
Calamari has a reputation for being either really good or really forgettable, and at Six Feet Under, it lands firmly in the first category. Reviewers praise it for being seasoned just right without being excessively oily — a common pitfall that ruins calamari at lesser restaurants.
The texture is spot-on: crispy outside, tender inside.
One reviewer specifically called out the calamari as a go-to order, noting it as a consistently reliable choice during visits to the restaurant. That kind of repeat-order loyalty is the best compliment a dish can receive.
It pairs naturally with a cold beer from the tap list, making it an ideal way to kick off a meal.
Whether you’re splitting it at the table as a starter or enjoying it solo at the bar, the calamari here delivers a satisfying seafood experience without any fuss. For a pub-style seafood spot, this is the kind of quality that keeps the 4.5-star rating well earned and fully deserved.
