Six Feet Under occupies new space
October 17th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in Restaurants
The original location of Six Feet Under on Memorial Drive has moved across the Cherokee Ave. intersection to the Jane, a new mixed-use development.
We visited Tuesday night. We were anxious to try out the rooftop dining space but my lousy knees made that impossible. The restaurant doesn’t have an elevator, although, ironically, the building’s original use was as an elevator factory. Grrr.
We had a good meal. I had my usual shrimp and grits, while Wayne had the ginormous chicken Caesar salad. You can see his hands in the background of this picture, pounding his laptop, which he carried to dinner with us, so as not to interrupt work on his doctoral dissertation — eight years in the making and soon to be complete!
The restaurant’s space feels huge but it’s convivial, with basically the same ambiance as the first location.
I completed the meal with the restaurant’s bread pudding, a huge serving of gooey, chewy and boozy.

I always had high hopes of their menu since they opened, but they consistently disappointed me.
I’ll give them another try, if only out of curiosity regarding their new space.

I went to the new location on Monday, and it was gross. The clam chowder had a gelatin consistency, and it was grey. Not white & creamy as it should be. And the fried shrimp & okra was salty as all get out. They need to do something, I’m not sure what but something.

Use less salt?

No, something else…

Get a new menu? That’d be my pick.

Well, the shrimp and grits is the only thing I ever order here. Wayne gets the salad or the fish tacos.
I’d be happier with a broader menu myself, but people seem to like it just the way it is.
