"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."

"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."

"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."

"We’re thankful to enjoy First Watch’s avocado toast, stacks of pancakes (especially the lemon riccotta), and fresh juices almost all over town, but the Kennesaw location gets extra kudos for excellent service. No trip is complete without a slice of their Million Dollar Bacon, smoked and baked with brown sugar and topped with a maple syrup drizzle. You’re going to have to roll me out the door."

"In the eastern suburb of Decatur, about 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, the Waffle House Museum preserves the original location of the 24-hour, breakfast-all-day chain that now boasts more than 2,000 locations from coast to coast. The arrow on the bumblebee-colored signature sign points you to the restored restaurant and memorabilia-packed museum. See the chain’s original menus, place settings, uniforms, and more."

"Waffle Houses are a common sight in the United States and you can visit the original restaurant. At the small Waffle House Museum, you can step back in time and look through past uniforms, dishes from different decades, and a collection of menus. It’s a kitschy little spot, but many people have a special place for the Waffle House chain and might love stopping at this little museum that pays homage."

"One of Buckhead’s best-kept secrets opened in August 2018 in Phipps Plaza. Grand Lux Cafe is from the same people that brought us the Cheesecake Factory. The funky decor and bold menu has been a strong selling point for Buckhead’s wealthy crowds looking to find something new to eat."

"The spicy noodles with basil leaves came with zucchini and my protein choice of beef. I ordered medium spicy and it was just right, enough spice for flavor but not enough to overpower and just feel heat and nothing else. Thai Chili is currently only offering take-out and delivery, but when open they have Thai floor seating."

"This Mexican restaurant has been growing in popularity and business ever since four foodie friends opened its doors in 2009. Verde’s motto started as “fresh taste, local flavor” and it has remained true to this statement. This is a great hangout spot for lunch and dinner with friends, family, young professionals, or a date."

"The W Midtown still is one of the spa hotels in Atlanta, a city that has two hotels from the same brand. Push pause on all the bustle and dare to relax at the on-site Bliss Spa, one of the best in town. The place features not just a host of treatment rooms, but also saunas, steam showers, and even a nail lounge for a quick mani-pedi."

"At the Loews Atlanta Hotel 1065 Peachtree Street Atlanta, GA 30309 404-720-5000www.exhalespa.com. This isn’t just a spa; its an urban oasis featuring not just 15 therapy rooms, but two yoga and Core Fusion studios, a full nail bar, and a full gym for all your cardiovascular and strength needs. Exhale believes in four different types of transformation that encompass relaxation, wellness, spa therapies, and healing the inner and outer wellbeing."

"Leading up to the new SunTrust Park development, The Battery Atlanta is not only home to new shops, dining experiences and living quarters, but also to the Atlanta Braves baseball team. If you’re a big fan of the team, getting a picture of this sign with you underneath or just by itself will make you feel like you’re really at home in the Hollywood of the South. Parking in the red deck will get you closest to the sign’s location."

"Just up the street from the Atlanta Braves Stadium (officially named Sun Trust Park) in Cumberland, the Omni Hotel at the Battery Atlanta offers 4-star luxury accommodations for baseball lovers. Rooms and suites are dog-friendly, and the whole family can enjoy amenities including an outdoor pool, restaurant, and shuttle service. There is also a restaurant on-site, as well as a fitness center."

"The official hotel of the MLB team, you can book a room with a balcony that overlooks the diamond during a ball game."
