Southern Seafood with a Twist: Dive Southern Coastal Kitchen
Upon turning fifty and with thirty-six years of culinary experience already under his belt, Dive Southern Coastal Kitchen founder and chef Kip Lowery felt called to open his own restaurant, which he did in May 2022 with the help of his sister, Celeste Charleston, who assisted with scouting the location along Reinhardt College Parkway, in the former Riverstone Corner Bistro building.

Outside, Dive’s dog-friendly patio features high-top tables made with barrels from Ball Ground’s Barrel House Coffee Company. Inside, Dive’s East Coast shore-house vibes, inspired by South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island and Charleston, provide a bright splash of summer sure to cure your wintertime blues. The name itself has a double meaning, inspired both by Kip’s love of the beach and for finding mom-and-pop-owned “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants, often referred to as dives, when he travels. Both inspirations are evident in Dive’s menu, which features seafood and Southern classics.

Served in one of Dive Southern Coastal Kitchen’s signature cast-iron pans, this delicious fusion of chicken pot pie and shepherd’s pie is a unique twist on two classic comfort foods.
Corn, carrots, sweet peas, green beans, potato chunks, thinly sliced onions, tender chicken, and a flaky layered pastry puff sit in a creamy sauce topped with mashed potatoes, parsley, and a melted blend of cheeses. This dish is hearty and filling, although you won’t want to stop eating.
