Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Atlanta

"Downtown can be tough when it comes to dining but, thankfully, there’s Atlanta Breakfast Club to help with morning hunger pangs. It’s also the place to go to when you want an over-the-top-breakfast that’s going to make your taste buds happy. The peach cobbler French toast with vanilla butter and the Gulf shrimp and grits with chicken sausage and smoked pepper gravy are definite winners."

"It’s so hard to choose the best chicken and waffles in Atlanta, but Atlanta Breakfast Club’s version is at the top of my list. It is one of my favorite brunch items, but when it is done right with a thick and fluffy waffle and perfectly seasoned fried chicken I am a happy girl. This tasty combination and the peach cobbler french toast are the dishes to order here."

"249 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313 | (470) 428-3825. The Atlanta Breakfast Club has a strong following because of its brunch menu, which includes the famous Peach Cobbler French toast, chicken and waffles and more. Here’s what one reviewer says about the Atlanta Breakfast Club: “Great food."

"First off, Folk Art serves breakfast all day, which means you can eat their cinnamon pecan sticky bun, French toast, peanut butter banana pancakes, or eggs and grits for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Although the all-day breakfast menu is slightly limited, they go all out if you’re eating at actual breakfast time. Try their sweet potato pancakes and waffles or the challah bread French toast, all of which come with their own sub-options like s’mores waffles or banana nut French toast."

"The cozy Inman Park eatery serves up thick sweet potato waffles and pancakes. Sugar fiends swoon over the decadent toppings like s’mores and banana nut fosters. Prefer a mix of sweet and savory?"

"Brunch at Marilynn's Place, Shreveport|© Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau /Flickr. Nestled in a vibrant community in East Atlanta, Home grown offers a welcoming spot for the working class of Atlanta to enjoy creative breakfast and lunch. This restaurant has become a favorite neighborhood hangout spot for nearby residents and anyone else passing through the neighborhood."

"Home Grown became a favorite of the Reynoldstown neighborhood when it opened up in 2010. They strive to make all welcome as is evident from the customers: civil servants, food professionals and office works. On a typical day, there are traditional breakfast favorites on the menu."

"This North Buckhead/Sandy Springs spot has a French toast and cowboy benedict to die for. It’s a small little spot, right next to Kroger, but there’s also plentiful outdoor seating."

"Mezcalito’s may look like a warehouse from the outside, but this Mexican restaurant is bright and colorful inside. It’s hard to choose what to order as the menu is huge. At lunchtime especially as you can order off the lunch or dinner menu."

"If you are looking for brunch in Buckhead and the surrounding area check out Cultivate Food & Coffee. The light and airy restaurant and coffee shop combination is more casual than many of the places you will find in Buckhead. After ordering at the counter you can choose to sit inside or outside."

"The team from Cafe at Pharr have opened up a crazy delicious part brunch spot, part coffee shop. You’ll go bananas for their banana pancakes and be super impressed by the taste and visual presentation of their eggs benedict. Their matcha lavender latte is also super yummy!"

"I love the open space and decor at this cute cafe near Atlantic Station!. This restaurant has delicious brunch options and small bites featuring Southern comfort foods. Plus, they serve speciality and seasonal espresso drinks and pastries."

"With a casual restaurant and bar atmosphere, Ruby Tuesdays is a great choice for a juicy hamburger and fries. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 770-994-1122"

"Blue Ivory is a 24-hour nightclub that has a full kitchen and strong drinks not far from downtown Atlanta. One Google reviewer says: “Nice little after hour spot. Warning dancers don’t get naked like regular strip clubs."

"For some of the best “New South” dining in Atlanta, the Horseradish Grill is a prime dining spot. This comfortable Buckhead location is the spot for some of the best lunch in Atlan..."

"Monday Night Garage is the home of Monday Night Brewing's (naturally) barrel and sour beer program. Home of innovative, inventive and interesting craft beers, this multiple award-winning brewery is the cornerstorne of the new Lee + White development in Southwest Atlanta."

"Since Bellina is partially an Italian deli/market and part-cafe/-ristorante, you can stop in and purchase imported Italian meats, cheeses, and whatever else they’re selling, or take to the back and sit down for a full-service meal. Chef Gizzy Barton earned her stripes working with Kevin Rathbun at KR Steakbar, and also worked South City Kitchen and Restaurant Eugene, so she knows how to turn locally farmed meats and produce into major meals like spicy braised half-chicken and slow-cooked beef and pork ragu with fresh-made pappardelle (even the eggs are local). It also offers cooking classes (pasta making), wine tastings, and private dining, plus the bar features inventive buzzers like “Peanuts & Coke” (salt-roasted-peanut-infused amaro & soda), a rum and balsamic vinaigrette number called Treno Fantasma, natural wines (nothing but grapes), and a few hard-to-find Italian beers that aren’t Stella."

"While a lot of Atlanta restaurants make a fine carbonara, Bellina Alimentari in Ponce City Market has got to have some of the best. It’s served with a heaping portion of bacon and made with bucatini, a thick and spaghetti-like pasta that has a hole running through the center, allowing for even more of the creamy sauce of a carbonara to seep in!"

"In a town where new restaurants open almost daily, it's heartwarming to see an old favorite maintain a loyal following. Opened in 1998 in an industrial office complex along the railroad tracks between Emory and Virginia-Highland, this charming restaurant still feels like a discovery. The kitchen's deep commitment to seasonality and supporting sustainable purveyors is evident in dishes like burrata with plum compote and grilled sourdough, smoked paprika tagliatelle tossed with rich duck bolognese, and blue crab fritters with green tomato chow-chow."

"Chef Anne Quatrano opened this quaint cafe and bar near Emory Village over 20 years ago. Located in a renovated warehouse, Floataway offers several places to dine quietly on dishes filled with French, Italian, and Spanish influences, including at the small bar and out on the charming and dog friendly courtyard patio."
