"Thomas had a theme, which it technically doesn't, it would fall somewhere in the tropical birds-meet-somewhat crunchy enclosed patio-with-quinoa category. This Peachtree Road institution is decorated with neon lights, plenty or tchotchkis to keep the kiddos entertained, caged, tropical birds, and it's all in a somewhat permanent shed-type lean-to on the border of Buckhead and Midtown. With a huge menu (and seriously—tons of good, healthy options), this spot just works."
"Besides the fact that this quirky little café looks like a tropical rainforest, complete with parrots, on the outside, it’s its unique arrangement of vegan and vegetarian options that bring the crowds in. R.Thomas was created by chef Richard Thomas and has become an Atlanta mainstay on the veggie scene. It’s easy to see why with its delicious, giant meals including a Sausage Queen Omelette, a Thia Quinoa Bowl, and a Sloppy Veggie Joe."
"An indisputable Atlanta icon since 1955, Waffle House traces its roots to a modest storefront in Avondale Estates that is now the Waffle House Museum. Road trip fuel or recovery aid, every Waffle House but the outpost in Turner Field is open 24 hours a day to satisfy that craving for hashbrowns, cheese n’ eggs, or waffles."
"There’s not much more one can say about the classic, Atlanta-based breakfast chain. Atlantan’s know where to head for 24/7 smothered, covered, and scattered hash browns, waffles, and coffee with some serious people-watching, especially into the wee hours of the morning."
"For 58 years southerners have been able to count on Waffle House for being open 24-7, keeping the temp low, staffing some pretty fun folks, and serving up breakfast sandwiches, waffles, patty melts, and hash-browns any way you want ‘em (which is a whole lot of ways)."
"If you'd like to feel like you went through a time warp, back to the 1950s when you have your next breakfast, you may want to visit the Silver Skillet. Located in Midtown, this evokes memories of true Southern hospitality, with waitresses that have been there for decades that refer to customers as "honey" and "darling". The Silver Skillet was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network."
"In business since 1956, The Silver Skillet serves a classic Southern breakfast with exactly zero frills. The restaurant serves as a frequent stop for nearby college students, Midtown office dwellers and hotel guests, and construction workers regardless of the day of the week."
"Since 1956, this family-run favorite has slung buttermilk biscuits, country, ham, red-eye gravy, and meat-and-three favorites, not to mention some killer pies. Ask one of the lifetime waitresses about all the movies and TV shows this joint has been in."
"1651 Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 | (404) 794-6904. Bankhead Seafood has been bought and re-imagined by two of Atlanta’s favorite sons, rappers and businessmen, Killer Mike and T.I. They’re operating as a food truck for now, but will reopen soon, according to the new owners."
"Yebo is a restaurant that puts as much care into their menu as they do into their ambiance and decor. In the summer, they transform into Yebo Beach Haus, with coastal fun all around, in the wintertime, they become Yebo Ski Haus, with the best ski chateau vibes. They’ve recently moved into a more expansive space in Andrews Square."
"Don’t let the handle fool you, @yebobeachhaus has officially transformed to Yebo Ski Haus just in time for the cooler weather!. With ski lodge vibes + a cozy outdoor fire pit, you’ll find the perfect cold-weather food at this spot like this Bolognese dish. Also, do not skip out on dessert!"
"In South Africa, the country is so geographically vast, that you can spend a morning in the snow capped mountains and an afternoon at the beach. At South African restauranteur Justin Anthony’s Yebo, you get both experiences in one restaurant. In the summer, it’s Yebo Beach Haus."
"Among Atlanta’s top Black history sites is the Madam C.J. Walker Museum, which honors the life and accomplishments of Madam C.J. Walker, a laundress who became the first self-made Black female millionaire. She started her own cosmetics and hair care company, selling her own products door-to-door, through the mail and at her franchised beauty shops for African American women. If you want to know more about Madam Walker, watch the Netflix series, “Self-Made” staring Octavia Spencer."
"Although it’s been more than 150 years since the Civil War ended, and a woman holds the second-highest office in the land, the history lessons taught in school still predominantly derive from the perspective of white European males, beginning with Christopher Columbus. But just down Auburn Ave from The King Center, the APEX Museum is dedicated to emphasizing the contributions that Black Americans have made throughout history by telling our nation’s story from their eyes. Dive into the horrifying realities of the African Holocaust during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, discover Atlanta’s first African American-owned businesses, admire the accomplishments of chemist Alice Ball, and so much more when you visit APEX."
