Best Diners in Atlanta

"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?"

"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."

"This is one of a kind when it comes to vegan restaurants in Buckhead. R. Thomas’ Deluxe Grill is a 24/7 vegan friendly restaurant that is as eclectic as it is delicious. It is a funky, low key spot to have a great meal in a no fuss atmosphere."

"After more than 30 years on Peachtree Street, R. Thomas is still bringing a healthy dose of breakfast and brunch paired with strong coffee to hungry Atlantans nearly 24 hours a day."

"The Silver Skillet Restaurant, located on Atlanta's west side near Atlantic Station, is frequently cited by food shows as a must-stop spot in Atlanta. Around since the 1950s, the Silver Skillet Restaurant isn't the prettiest of places (it feels authentically like you've traveled back in time), but it is famous for its breakfasts and Southern diner dishes. Stop in for the biscuits and some red-eye gravy."

"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."

"You can’t go wrong with another Georgia style comfort food restaurant like The Silver Skillet. Grab an entire baked chicken breast meal for as low $8.25. Just remember to bring cash when you go."

This specific diner holds a special place in my heart, and it's not just because of the amount of neon lights strung along the walls. Not only do they serve grade-A diner food 24/7, but every day they have late night karaoke."

"Metro Cafe Diner opened in downtown Atlanta’s Peachtree Center in 2006. This is where to head for all-day breakfast fare, wings, classic burgers, and even baby back ribs and platters of spaghetti. There’s a live DJ and karaoke every night beginning at 8 p.m."

"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."

"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)."

"An Atlanta pancake and waffle map couldn’t exist without the inclusion of breakfast (and late night) institution Waffle house. Don’t skip the pecan waffle, though there’s really no wrong order at this Atlanta staple."

"The Landmark Diner in Buckhead is “where the stars meet at night”. But really, it’s where people meet up for late night bites and coffee. Landmark is fashioned after the traditional northeastern diners with a large menu of breakfast, burgers, fried foods, and sandwiches."

"Drop by 24 hours in Buckhead or Downtown, or visit the Landmark Jr. on Cheshire Bridge Road (you might recognize it as JJ’s Diner from Parks and Rec). Look for a menu including regular diner fare plus seafood platters and other Greek and Italian specialties."

"They have something for everyone, and serve delicious breakfast all day long. Their prices are reasonable and the interior is both comfy and relaxed. Check out this new retro diner for a sampling of some tasty meals and friendly service."

"Showtunes, Broadway, Jazz & Easy Listening...Join Us, "Every Tuesday" for a fun filled, relaxing, musical ambiance @... Mixx Atlanta is frequented for the unique music, very friendly staff, and for the electrifying atmosphere. One of the many popular gay clubs of Atlanta, this place has a fully stocked bar, spotlighting, flat-screen televisions, and high-top seating."

"Just celebrating their 25th anniversary, this bakery (with a Va-Hi and Dunwoody location) keeps customers coming back year after year for a taste of the delicious selections. Known for its high-quality, made-from-scratch collection of baked goods, cakes, pastries, gourmet sandwiches, freshly prepared foods, fine cheeses, chocolates and more, the eatery is an Atlanta gem."

"The fresh artisan bread at Alon’s accent the incredible sandwiches, such as the lamb with tomato, rosemary and red onion marmalade. But the star is the huge raspberry and cheese danish—the center is rich and creamy with the perfect amount of tangy, sweet fruit. You may want to split this massive pastry with someone!"

"Alon’s markets haven’t skipped a beat after transitioning to takeout and delivery via UberEats. Both the Morningside and Dunwoody locations offer full take-out menus ready for curbside pick-up, including Alon’s extensive selection of desserts. Pre-order Passover and Easter desserts here, too."

"These cookie sellers have built an empire capitalizing on late-night sweets cravings and the ease of dessert delivery. The shops around Atlanta have cookies warm and ready for every situation. Insomnia might even bring a bottle of chocolate milk in the order, if asked politely enough."

"Insomnia Cookies delivers fresh and delicious cookies until 3 a.m. every night of the week. You can even follow your delivery order with the convenient Cookie Tracker."
