The City Cellar and Loft

This was our first time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The steak, risotto and collard greens were amazing. My wife had the gentleman's burger and it was unbelievably good. The only food that wasn't "good" was the sweet potato fries. They could have been a little crispier. Had the Brie bites as an appetizer with warm honey would highly recommend them. Our server was really very good and I overheard another server as well and he was just as good.
The whole atmosphere was amazing and very relaxed, I loved the feeling of the "cellar" . We really had a wonderful time.

My wife and I visited for lunch. She had the BLT with sweet potato fries. I had the Southern Burger also with sweet potato fries. BLT and Burger were good and served hot along with the fries. We would have liked the fries to be thicker in cut. However, the dipping sauce made up for it, it was awesome! It is a cellar, as the name states, with a fireplace.

I love this place. Great rotating craft beer selection, cocktails, and chef special menu items. Best restaurant in Cartersville.

We were there on a very busy night. Well worth the wait. Service was excellent. Food was delicious and at a fair price. Highly recommend.

This is our second time here and we thought the first time was a fluke. No, the second time here was even better. I had the best steak sandwich that I have had in decades here. We live 45 minutes away and I would come back for that alone. The other plates are equally fantastic, and of course we topped our meal with the molton lava cake. We will be back!

Celebrated 27 years with my bride with a wonderful dinner at The City Cellar and Loft. Great service from Isabella. Seared scallops appetizer, shrimp & grits for my wife, bourbon barrel pork chop with collards and mashed potatoes for me, and lemon pie for dessert. She liked the peach martini, too. Thanks for a great evening!

I had a few dinners at this place a few years back and was not super impressed with the food. The drinks and atmosphere were great though. Someone recommended I give it another shot! I'm glad I did! I had the best pork chop ever! It was so tender inside and the crust was perfect! It's hard to find good pork chops! The flavor of the entire meal was really on point! My husband ordered the schnitzel meal which was also amazing but I highly recommend the pork chops, green beans and potatoes! They also have a great dirty martini!

Great Fish and Chips. They hand bread their fish. Super friendly staff (surprised at other places that do not have that), great wait staff. I sat the patio to enjoy this beautiful weather. Even got to see the train go by while eating. Nice building across the street with the Coca Cola painting. No issues parking at lunch. The patio area featured nice umbrellas for shade and very cool "rustic" lighting.

I'm glad to see non chain places, making it and providing good food.

Recommend the Shrimp and Grits with Creole sauce if available. Loved the ambiance and my bartender was great. Will definitely go again.

The atmosphere here was amazing! It is so cozy! I do not recall our waiters name but he was also very kind and informative. The food was great and even though we did not have any drinks this time we do love the unique alcoholic beverage options as well!

This was our first time in here on 5/12/23. We will be back. This isn't a place you eat at every week, but nice for an occasional trip in here. The prices were fair for the amount of food we got.

We got the meat & cheese board as an appetizer, got the wedge salads & each got a cheeseburger. Our friends who joined us got the shrimp & grits & fried fish with shrimp.

A very cozy, rustic restaurant snuggled into downtown Cartersville adjacent to the railroad tracks. Charming place with exposed floor joists overhead and a wooden-themed atmosphere. Entrance goes downstairs and opens up to a spacious seating area and a nicely appointed bar. The food was really good. We had the loaded potato soup, the Buttermilk Half Chicken Plate with mashed potatoes and gravy served with collards, and the Fried Green Tomato BLT w/ fries. The meal started with Fried Cheese Curds. The menu is small and doesn't overwelm the customer. Very friendly staff that welcomes you warmly. Highly recommend this place.

Great eatery. I ordered and enjoyed the buttermilk fried chicken entree. The ambiance is super chill, and I love the historical aspect and upkeep of the dining room.

Great place to visit on a trip! The food was absolutely amazing and is not something I say about many places. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food and the appetizers were also fantastic.

The food was great. The bone in pork chop on loaded mashed potatoes and salad was excellent. Also, the fish and shrimp with fries and a salad just as good. The wait staff fantastic. Very personable. Could not ask for anything better.

Absolutely wonderful. Quite the pleasant surprise after walking down a staircase. The wood accents and dark tones set an enjoyable smooth relaxing ambiance. The menu is small but everything is delicious. The food is different and intentionally crafted with care. The fish and chips melts in your mouth with a buttery smooth brown sugar dip for the fries. Would recommend to anyone in the area 😋💯

Went in for late lunch with the folks. Great atmosphere, was not very busy, excellent music Playlist. Our server was amazing, noted my parents spoke Russian. The Jalapeño cheese curds were ok, the pork belly was on point and tasty! My mother ordered the wrap; my father and I ordered the cowboy burger. They were very good!

Returning to Illinois after a family death, we stopped at The Cellar. What a wonderful choice. The setting is lovely—rustic contemporary. The fried green tomatoes and sweet tea, fabulous. Our main courses, desert, drinks—were perfection. And the staff! We walked in solemn and sad, and left feeling nourished in every way.

We discovered this hidden gem on a whim, and we are sure glad that we did. The food was great , we started with the cola glazed pork belly and the brie bites with hot hiney, and both were fantastic. The glaze on the pork was amazing, it paired quite well with brie bites.
Onto the main course, I had the Oso Bucco, which was perfectly tendered with an amazing demi glace. My wife and SIL shared the Delmonico (20oz), which was topped with crab. The steak was a perfect medium rare with a great seasoned char; however, the crab topping was a bit onion forward for the pairing. It tasted like it'd be an amazing crab cake; however, as a cool topping on the steak, it didn't synergize as we would have hoped. As for the sides, the potatoes were phenomenal, and the macaroni n cheese was creamy, rich, and delicious. This also received very high marks from my toddler, who knows her Mac n cheese.
Onto the dessert, we had the buttermilk cream pie, and it was balanced sweet/savory, not feeling overwhelmed with either. It was a nice pairing to end the dinner with the delicious meats from earlier.

The bartender was also on point last night, and the cocktails were balanced and delicious. The menu leaned towards a whiskey/bourbon focus, which we appreciated.

Service was good. Although they were understaffed, they did their absolute best to make you feel acknowledged and seen, though a little slower than ideal. We spoke with the chef as he was walking around, and he was really nice and checking in on everyone and helping the tables as he could.

All in all, we'll definitely be coming back and trying more of the menu

A new date night favorite! I don't mean to sound like a snob, but I never expected Cartersville to have such a cool place with such great food. It literally is in the cellar of a building I love the Roderick wall the fireplace the stone floor. I was even more excited when I heard someone start playing the piano in the corner. There was a good bit of a wait, on a Friday night, but we decided to sit at the bar as we like to do anyway. There was room right away our drinks were fantastic and the food was even better. The bartender was friendly and talkative but left us alone when we wanted to eat and enjoy our own conversation. All in all a perfect night.
