The Pecan

Southern Cuisine with a Fusion Slant

  • Southside Dining Scene
  • Sunday Brunch
  • French & Cajun Influences

Finally fine dining comes to College Park and Fulton County's Southside. The Pecan is the brainchild of Chef Tony Morrow who, after a distinguished career in the armed services, took his MBA and years of business experience and left a promising career in corporate America to pursue his true passion in life...preparing food for his family and friends.

After leaving his career, graduating at the top of a prestigious culinary school and training at several Buckhead Life Restaurants, he decided the time was right to launch his own restaurant. Just one taste of Chef Tony?s exquisite recipes and you'll be convinced that The Pecan should be YOUR new favorite for dining.

I went to this restaurant around October of 2007. The food is incredibly overpriced for such a small portion of simple items. Though the lamb chops were excellent, the portions were incredibly small and cost about $30+ The sweet tea was, even for me, diabetes inducing. It was so sweet it gave me a headache. I would not recommend this restaurant. If you want to spend $30+ on 3 lamb chops, you'd be better off going to Fogo de Chao, where for $30 You get as much meat as you can handle! lamb, beef, pork, chicken. All excellent. If you happen to be in the college park area and want to dine in, (though not the same type of food) you'll feel much better about your money and the taste and portions of the food at Fina Bistro.

Pros: Most of the food tasted well seasoned and nice.

Cons: Way too expensive for what you get, with skimpy portions and average sides

I am in from out of town working hard I just wanted a good meal without having to drive downtown. The Pecan looked really promising. I had the green salad, ribeye, grits, and a single glass of wine. The salad was pretty good, basic mesclin greens with some candied pecans, 3 very thin slices of pear, a blue cheese, with a vinegarette. I ordered the steak medium rare it was closer to rare which was fine by me but it was a horrible piece of meat. I have never had such a chewy steak, muchless paid $30 for it. The $30 steak came with nothing, the pepper jack grits I had on the side were good but a seperate charge. Then when the check came I was actually charged $34 for the steak and $12 for the glass of wine that was $10 on the menu. This place was so overpriced I would not even send an enemy there. I cannot imagine how some of the reviews on here are positive.

Pros: Proximity to the Airport

Cons: Everything else
