Buckhead AtlantaJuly 11, 2015Chicken tenders are the size a pinky finger...way so small for the money...everything else was good. Forgot to bring grits that came with special...nice staff
Karen JohnsonDecember 30, 2015This is a small diner that serves typical breakfast with a southern flair. I ordered grits and deep fried catfish.
Get here early on the weekends, no crowd on weekdays. Great service and you can get lunch items at breakfast time.
IrisDecember 15, 2013Cash only. Make sure you sign in when you walk in if it is busy. You do not have to wait for a hostess to sign you in, you can do it yourself.
Darnisha Allen-JacksonJuly 13, 2013Great fish and grits. Love the Pure Vermont Maple syrup. Get an Uptown to drink! Great service.
B DMay 26, 2012The best breakfast in the world. The best part if having kids was waking up early enough to get in before the 1 hr wait.
De'Leon CarrAugust 29, 2017Classic ATL breakfast spot.... all the locations are good but something about Edgewood nostalgic for me- Morgan LeeFebruary 3, 2023Nice place if you want to have a late breakfast. But, you will gain weight quickly if you eat there too often.
Orville JosephNovember 2, 2013Their omelette and French toast is like heaven in your mouth. Please go and visit !!

Build your own omelette and sub a grilled bagel. My omelette: cream chz, banana peppers, and chicken sausage.
Fish and eggs are great! The catfish is amazingly good.
Niah BibbsFebruary 1, 2014It was pretty good. I had the shrimp and grits. Flying Biscuits still number one though..
Great breakfast in the neighborhood besides the Highland Bakery
