★ 4Quite overdue, but I wanted to take a moment to recognize this spot that brought me good memories during my times in Atlanta. Even though the wait was super long, space was limited and crowded, and not all food was consistently good, I still enjoyed my experience there and consider this place a must-go for those that visit Atlanta, at least for the experience.
In terms of food quality, the fried green tomatoes were pretty standard in taste but were soggy in texture, and dipping them in the cashew-jalapeño relish, tangy goat cheese, or the buttermilk ranch offered three different types of flavors. The chicken and waffles were also pretty standard in flavor, with the chicken not too dry. The non-spicy version was still a bit soggy in texture just like some of the other dishes. The shrimp and grits relied completely on the tomato sauce for flavor because the grits themselves were underseasoned, which was interesting because all the side grits we had, the grits tasted just fine. The gravy tasted pretty good, and I remembered at some point we ordered a gravy dish that had tomatoes under the gravy, but couldn't quite remember the name of the dish anymore. The sausage patties and the scrambled eggs in the Flying Biscuit Breakfast dish were also dry, unfortunately, but had good enough flavor.
Depending on the times, wait times can be long, especially at this location, which seemed to be the most popular one. Another cool thing about this establishment was the rainbow crosswalks that was next to it. It allowed me to remember where I was right away when I came here for the second time. -

★ 5Delicious place to get breakfast. The grits were delicious even though I don't typically go for grits, and the biscuits definitely lived up to the hype, the were very light and buttery. We were seated at the bar and had amazing service. The restaurant is very tight and all the tables are very close together, giving it a very cozy and familiar vibe. It was a good value for the price.

★ 5We were staying nearby and found this place for breakfast. It has a vast menu of different items (and now the usual boring breakfasts!)nnWe ate here twice during our time in Atlanta because it was so good. Special thanks for making the effort to open in the crazy cold weather in January!
The first visit I had the Big cheesy patty melt. The bread was nice and the meat was ok, the bacon was super crispy. I'd never had a biscuit before so asked if I could have that as my side (good choice as it was lovely!)nnMy wife had Drops of Jupiter (2 pancakes with chocolate chips) and the pancakes were amazing. Lovely and fluffy and soft and loads of chocolate chips.
On the 2nd visit I got the Hangover hash which was really really good. Big portion of fried potato cubes, chicken, chorizo and more. Very tasty.
My wife had the same pancakes which were just as good, although not as many chocolate drops in.
Also on our 2nd visit we both got given a biscuit for some reason. Not complaining as they were lovely and warm and soft.
I can't remember the name of the server on the 2nd visit, but on our 1st visit Ilyana was amazing. So friendly and part of the reason we decided to come back again.
Highly recommend this place for the pancakes and hash, and will come back next time we're in the area. -

★ 4ILIANA is the absolute best! I felt like I was having breakfast at my tia’s house. She has great service, a warm personality, and a very contagious laugh. Definitely made my morning! I’ve been here several times, but this was the best experience to date.

★ 4First visit to Atlanta and I gotta have breakfast! Very tight seating here. A little chaotic at times. Food was good. I was expecting more flavor honestly from what I'd heard. My waitress was ha.ds down awesome though. Kept me busy drinking coffee. Brought my food immediately from the window. Though I did see a few items left up there for a bit. All in all a pretty good experience.
