 Breakfast all day |
2071 North Druid Hills Rd (near Buford Highway) Atlanta, GA 30329 United States +1 404 633 0024 |
Just off the North Druid Hills freeway exit sits this classic American diner in all its chrome-and-neon glory. Take a seat at a comfortable vinyl booth for a true old-time diner experience. This throwback eatery is known among locals for its homegrown specialties, such as meat loaf and mashed potatoes, as well as for its simple steak-and-onion platters and homemade milkshakes. You'll also find a surprising dose of Greek dishes scattered throughout the menu, and the fast-order cooks turn out a mean all-day breakfast. The diner also features a beer and wine list.

Sandy Springs Favorite |
6125 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30328 United States +1 404 843 8002 |
Serving the best food in its neighborhood, this low key joint has stood the test of time. The name is rather suggestive of the prevailing decor, both inside and out. A small bar is located in the corner of the simply adorned dining room. Nothing trendy, nothing fancy, the menu is as straightforward as the service. The fried shrimp is among the best in the city, lightly breaded and not too greasy. Other seafood specialties include a salmon and lobster bisque and a rotating variety of grilled and fried fish.

Dressed up Diner |
3073 Piedmont Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 262 3336 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
An evening at this trendy spot may reveal a celebrity or two, as well as some of Buckead's most dressed-up diners. Funky Art Deco decor spices up this glorified diner, with booths and sassy waitresses to match. The menu covers the basics, but pulls some creative twists. Try the famous homemade potato chips with Maytag bleu cheese dressing, or Atlanta's fanciest meatloaf, comprised of veal and wild mushrooms. A diner-style bar with swivel stools serves cocktails to Atlanta's chic and stylish as they endure the frequent wait for a table. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beef.. and Lots Of It |
2710 Canton Road Atlanta, GA 30062 United States +1 770 427 0490 http://www.cherokeecattle.com/ |
Competing with the big chains, this is a great local steak house offering (you guessed it) great steak at an affordable price. This restaurant is set up like a large Western roadhouse with high ceilings and lots of Western decorations. Although bordering on corny, it still retains that hearty steak house appeal. The steaks are large and expertly prepared. Baked potatoes and salads are available to round out your meal, as well as a few less beefy items. Great beer selections and a full bar are available.

This special little place makes you feel a bit like you are dining in your neighbor's living room, and it attracts a young crowd during the after-work hours.

This place sets one of Atlanta's most cheerful, buzzing breakfast tables, serving up delicious American diner fare at bargain prices.

Midtown's Best Box Lunches |
600 Ponce de Leon Ave Atlanta, GA 30308 United States +1 404 888 9149 |
This cafeteria-style Midtown eatery is easy to spot from the street; it closely resembles a white box. The atmosphere inside isn't much more extravagant, resembling a school lunch room, but the largely college-aged lunch and dinner crowds don't seem to mind. There's plenty to choose from as you fill your tray. Fresh meats, pastas and salads can be grilled or arranged to order, or choose from a wide range of vegetarian alternatives. Try the jerk chicken or cheese tortellini with marinara sauce. Beer and wine available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A surreal Atlanta tradition |
909 Ponce de Leon Ave Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 873 3088 |
This stark pastel building on Ponce stands out from its more timid neighbors, right on the border between Midtown and the Virginia-Highlands. Stucco and tile has replaced the traditional red-and-white tablecloths, to stunning effect. Ceiling fans spin over the brightly colored tiled dining room tables, while the patio is fitted with ornate, wrought iron chairs. The Vegetarian and meatball-laden specials are popular pizzas, while the calzones are a great choice for lunch. The White Pizza, with mozzarella and ricotta, is famous throughout Atlanta. Beer and wine is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great chips and dips |
931, Monroe Drive Atlanta, GA 30308 United States +1 404 607 9967 http://www.frogscantina.com/ |
When you're at Frogs Cantina, don't bother to wonder why this restaurant was named so. Simply expect the best of food, service and ambiance and you'll be pleasantly greeted. Start with the house salad and move on to the nachos, tortillas or burritos. But most importantly, do not forget to miss the chips n dips, they're simply yummy! Seating is sometimes tough as the house is packed with regulars, so arrive early to avoid disappointment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great Food in Roswell |
1087 Green St Atlanta, GA 30075 United States +1 770 992 5383 |
This Southern comfort and seafood restaurant is set in a rambling one-story house that has been restored and decorated with odds and ends from the early 20th century. In a homey atmosphere of yesteryear charm, Bill Greenwood serves up a menu that is highlighted by famous crab cakes and even more famous pies. Don't forget to sample the classic (and extra sweet) sweet tea, which is worth a special trip by itself. Be sure to bring cash as well, because Greenwood's does not accept the plastic.

Rock the Menu |

Whether Elvis gyrates or Madonna vamps on the screen overhead, the overwhelming musical theme at this popular restaurant is balanced by an interesting and filling mix of menu items. With choices ranging from large-portion nachos to Southern servings of pot roast surrounded by garlic mashed potatoes, you won't leave hungry. The wait staff, disguised in 1950s-style garb, brings a sense of fun to every table. Watch closely as you peruse the gift shop on your way out: you just might see an actual celebrity.

With a second location in the Virgin Islands, these folks know something about creating an island setting. The interior is island rich, with dark wood walls, a long bar, and tables arranged for dining or mingling. Outside, 16 tables with umbrellas line the cobble stoned alley, offering great open air dining. Much more restaurant than bar, Hemingway's puts out consistently good food for lunch and dinner. Try the fresh catch sandwich or the authentically prepared Cuban sandwich. Go island with a side order of sweet plantains. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Terrific Tandoori |
5520 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard Atlanta, GA 30341 United States +1 770 458 6557 |
This area of Atlanta is known for its vibrant mix of cultures, and Chamblee's restaurants well-reflect the diversity of the surrounding neighborhoods. Like many of its neighbors, this restaurant's fare is authentic because it had better be. Simple but authentic Indian decor welcomes a steady stream of locals to this modest setting for lunch and dinner. Daily specials are offered above and beyond the already reasonable prices. The Tandoori specialties are without equal in Atlanta, and the complementary bread is very good. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Vegetarian Indian |
1707 Church St Atlanta, GA 30033 United States +1 404 296 2965 |
Popular with locals with an eye on value, this Indian restaurant is sure to delight longtime lovers of curry as well as those who can't who have never even heard of it. The crowded cafeteria-style setting can sometimes get overwhelming, but the food more than makes up for the relative lack of decor. Vegetarian favorites occupy the lion's share of the menu, but don't come looking for gourmet presentation. The food is hot and simply-presented, and many patrons choose the takeout option. The vegetarian soup is always available, and a consistent favorite. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of America's best-loved chains, IHOP is a favorite with folks from all walks of life. Simple diner-quality furnishings create a relaxed and informal atmosphere great for families with small kids. Because this particular IHOP is located right in the middle of Buckhead, the late-night crowd can get a bit rowdy.

This popular chain serves breakfast 24 hours a day, but don't let the name fool you. An exhaustive menu includes all your typical American dinner favorites. Rather akin to a Denny's, IHOP is a nice step up from the Waffle Houses that seem to haunt every highway exit in the South. The food is reliable, fast, and pretty good. Most entrees range from $5-8, including hearty dinner platters, a great burger, sandwich and salad selection, and more breakfast options than you can shake a stick at. No alcohol.

Las Margaritas, as the name implies is a place where one would go for the best margaritas in town. In addition, this quintessential eatery is also equally popular for its Cuban inspired Mexican food. Don't expect loads of bells and whistles on the menu, but if fresh flavorful food with great drinks to sip and music to beat interests you, then this is the restaurant that has earned its reputation in all.

Just Like You Remember |
306 Cobb Parkway Atlanta, GA 30062 United States +1 770 423 9390 |
This family restaurant is the kind of diner you remember from the old days. Highlighted in pink and blue, all the classical decor lines are intact. Breakfast and lunch are given over mostly to families and seniors, who linger over their meals the way diner denizens are supposed to. A decent selection of steaks, chops, seafood, and dinner entrees are available, but most opt for the simpler diner fare that dominates the menu. Try the French toast with sausage or bacon with coffee, tea, or juice. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A lively atmosphere pervades this enormous Marietta hotspot, from the margarita drinkers on the patio to the festive diners being serenaded by a four-piece Mariachi band inside. The house specialty is the steak and chicken fajita plate; you can either order for one, or else get it by the pound for sharing. Dozens of combination platters offer most traditional Mexican fare in invariably enormous portions. Try the fried ice cream to top off your meal, but be warned: it, too, is big enough to share.

In the world of the classic greasy spoon, Silver Skillet stands as Atlanta's benchmark for quaint quality. The home cooked Southern dishes are heavily-laden with gravy, sauces, flavor and calories, but who cares? The lunch specials arrive at your table enormous and irresistible. You can always wash the grits down with fresh buttermilk and sweet tea, another Southern tradition. Most meals will run you as little as USD5. As you eat, try and remember this important tip, If you don't leave room for home-cooked pie, you're making a big mistake. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This healthy regional chain is a great alternative to traditional fast food dining. Booths and tables line the walls around the buffets, and the health-minded theme pervades the dining area with decorative tomatoes and greenery painted on the walls. The salad bar is monstrous and full of fresh vegetables, and the well-stocked potato and pasta bars are also worth stopping by. The soup and dessert buffets are consistent crowd-pleasers, and deservedly so. After all, eating all that healthy food certainly earns you the right to indulge in some frozen yogurt.

This festive all-Mexican eatery seats about 100 (indoor or out), but still gets pretty crowded during weekend meal hours. In fact, it's especially popular with the younger crowd because the prices are incredibly set for the budget-minded. Breakfast, lunch or dinner will only set you back about $5.

One of the special things about dining in Atlanta is the mild climate. Loads of restaurants take advantage of this benefit, offering outdoor dining for most of the year, and Taco Mac is no exception. The interior is festooned with TVs for catching up with your favorite sports teams. Meal time here offers a good mix of people, and later, the bar crowd tends to gravitate towards 20s and 30s. Prices are reasonable for traditional Mexican American dishes, and generally run between $6-9 for a filling, good meal. Smoking allowed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tucked away from the traffic of Little Five Points, this homey spot is easily missed, but not by locals. Crowds line the sidewalk on weekend mornings for omelets, pancakes and, of course, the signature biscuits. Dinners are less famous, but feature Southern goodies such as Dixie meatloaf and many vegetarian offerings. The cozy storefront is arranged into two rambling rooms with mismatched chairs and peculiar wall murals, but you'll feel right at home, especially when the biscuits arrive. If you want a glass of wine with your meal, bring it along. Review © 2007, Wcities |
