 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.

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 |

Happenin' Breakfast Spot |

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 |

Lunch only |
3655 Roswell Road (Suite 108) Atlanta, GA 30342 United States +1 404 848 8474 |
This cafe is squeezed into a strip mall but actually offers a quiet place to eat and see locally created art at the same time. Flowered tablecloths and cozy booths lend a friendly atmosphere to the interior, although many lunch patrons take their food to go. Along with a great selection of sandwiches, the menu features a number of warm entrees and soups that have attracted a loyal local following. The salads are also a popular choice among the artsy patrons here. Call-ahead takeout and catering service are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Take the midnight train here |
529 Peachtree Street NE Atlanta, GA 30308 United States +1 404 874 9393 http://www.gladysandron.com |
This popular Midtown spot is almost as famous for its down home soul cooking as it is for the celebrity owner. The singer who made "Midnight Train to Georgia" a national hit has another hit on her hands, along with her son and partners Ron Winans and Reginald Washington. The entree menu changes daily in the casual dining room, but features such favorites as Southern fried chicken, collard greens, and of course, grits. The fresh-baked biscuits and indulgent desserts also draw loud praise. No alcohol. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Art Deco diner |
3652 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 816 9090 http://www.landmarkdiner.com |
Styled as an Art Deco diner with lots of glass, stainless steel, and those awesome neon wall sconces, the environment never overwhelms the food nor the service, both of which are top-notch. The portions are ample and the food is good, but the prices are a bit on the high side. The Landmark has a fairly extensive conventional American menu; the traditional meat loaf and hot turkey sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes is a consistent favorite. For a twist, check out some of the classic Greek offerings. In addition, there is a full bar. See website for weekly specials, delivery options, and other locations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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 Picnic on Ponce |

For a quick bite as you make your way down Ponce, stop at this classic neighborhood pizza stand. Order at the long counter that fronts the kitchen, grab your drink and wait at a picnic table outside. The patio is shared with Gumbo A Go-Go next door and is set at a comfortable distance back from the traffic of Ponce. Pizzas and wings are the mainstays here, along with submarine sandwiches and a few other items. Save room for dessert, as Milano offers many varieties of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. No alcohol.

The Pie's the Limit |
2810 Paces Ferry Road SE Atlanta, GA 30339 United States +1 770 434 9355 |
Pizza is not traditional Dixie fare, but these guys know what classic New York pizza is all about. In keeping with tradition, a very simple decor graces this almost fast-food pizza shop, where as many customers pick up as dine in, maybe more. Calzones, salads, pastas, and hot and cold subs are all on the menu. Oh, and pizza, with 23 available toppings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Open All Night |
1812 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30309 United States +1 404 872 2942 http://rthomasdeluxegrill.com |
This airy late night cafe offers a casual respite for those with midnight hunger pangs. Just look for the pastel-colored suit of armor on the roof. The patio garden provides a somewhat exotic setting where patrons sample the healthy menu in the company of live parrots and cockatoos. The menu is heavily vegetarian, and includes many vegan-friendly selections. Smoothies and other health drinks are also popular with the regulars. Smoking, while infrequent, is permitted, and beer and wine is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Funny name, good food |
3000 Windy Hill Road Suite A-10 (at Powers Ferry Road) Atlanta, GA 30067 United States +1 770 953 8400 http://www.schlotzskys.com |
Throughout Atlanta, the little deli with the funny name continues to please with great sandwiches, salads and pizzas. All sandwiches arrive served on Schlotzsky's signature muffuletta bread - enormous round buns that somewhat resemble a large, soft English muffin. The eight-inch pizzas are great for one and come prepared on a unique sourdough crust, while larger items such as pesto chicken are also popular. Your basic deli layout is scaled up a bit for a greater degree of dining comfort, but most still take their sandwiches to go. See website for menu and other locations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Diner delight |
200 14th Street Atlanta, GA 30318 United States +1 404 874 1388 |
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 |

No Admission Music |
1123 Euclid Avenue Northeast Atlanta, GA 30307 United States +1 404 223 1100 |
The Five Spot functions as both an eatery and a night spot for live performances. On the menu are healthy sandwiches, like the Smoke Screen with turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper-jack and mustard on sourdough. The Five Spot isn't limited to just music, as there's spoken word performances and artist's works up on the walls. There's usually no admission, so you can go watch a band for free if you like.

Breakfast Bonanza |
1655 McClendon Avenue (near Clifton Road) Atlanta, GA 30307 United States +1 404 687 8888 http://www.flyingbiscuit.com |
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 |
