37 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Atlanta

“DELICIOUS!! When you order grits in a restaurant and they come out delicious—needing no salt, butter, or pepper—you know it’s a good place to eat!! All of our food was delicious. And the staff was sooo friendly! I wish I had taken a picture of our food but we scarfed it down! Definitely will eat here again!“

“10/10! Food and service is phenomenal! Literally no complaints! Try the egg rolls & the “one love” drink! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Came in for a late breakfast and left full, happy, and with a great local rec for a Halloween parade. Folk Art keeps things simple and satisfying, with food that’s rich and filling without trying too hard.

I ordered the chorizo omelette and cheese grits. The omelette was solid—loaded with just the right amount of heat and not greasy. The grits were creamy and held their texture, not runny or bland like you sometimes get with sides.

What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Our server was quick, easy to talk to, and genuinely helpful. When we asked about local events, they casually mentioned the Halloween parade and gave us a heads up on timing and crowd size. That kind of local touch makes a spot feel like part of the neighborhood, not just another brunch stop.

The space has that lived-in charm—busy but not chaotic, and everyone around seemed to be enjoying their food. No long wait, which was a nice surprise on a weekend.

If you’re in the area and want a strong brunch option with real hospitality and comfort food that holds up, Folk Art delivers.“

“We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday and even though the food didn't come back quite like some wanted it, we definitely appreciated the server Jamani for assisting our server who seemed a little overwhelmed and the Manager Taylor was awesome! He was great with fixing the issues and making the situation better considering it was a birthday brunch celebration! He & Jamani even sang Happy Birthday with us to her! It ended up being a good time! Thank you guys so much!“

“I had the opportunity to visit 2 weeks ago and the atmosphere was great! The food was excellent. I ordered crab cakes and it was delicious! The manager made me feel special on my birthday. Thank you for delicious food, service and the wonderful experience.“

“First time here. The peach cobbler cinnamon roll is DIABOLICALLY DELICIOUS!! It's so good it'll piss you off while you're doing a happy dance!! From this small town soul to this big city joint, my heart left very full and very happy. Keep up the good work!!“

“Let's just say they asked us to give them a 5 star rating and if we do we get 5 percent off... But the food was warm, the food was over priced, the server tried to charge us for items we didn't receive and my daughter got potatoes with her order . My daughter told the server she wanted onions and pepper . She brings out the potatoes with no opinions or pepper.Then she proceeded to lie in my daughter's face and say they're in there. She said where??? Then she leaves and goes back and says we're out of them. But you just lied and said they're in my daughter's potatoes when clearly there wasn't any on them.. I can go on and on with the issues me and my daughter had there. And the manager didn't come over and say anything.... Mannn I be trying to support my black own business but mannnn have to be and do better ....“

“Great food and service. Natalie, the manager at the Barrington location, is amazing and always goes above and beyond to accommodate our requests! Highly recommend the Barrington location! Wonderful outdoor patio for breakfast and lunch.“

“I had a wonderful brunch at this location. Not only was the food delicious and served up in a timely manner but the service was impeccable. My waitress was attentive and polite and the general manager even stopped by to make sure that everything was going well. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. I ordered pancakes and a delicious green juice. My server was very attentive to my allergies and allowed me to make substitutions in my meal to accommodate my nut allergy. This is a must stop brunch spot when you were in Atlanta.“

“We love Unity. Been coming here since I was 8 years old. I am now 48 years old. It has not always been the same everytime, but its still amazing.

“I have only eaten breakfast here, but it is always good and inexpensive. This more of a grab your food to go spot. Get the breakfast potatoes and the fried green tomatoes. The country steak is extra crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.“

“Ms. D is a godsend in the Atlanta community, specifically the Historic West End. Follow them on IG and fb for updates on live music. They cater, and rent their dining room for special events. They're also an in-restaurant full service dining room. Ate there today for brunch at about 11am, and my friend had the burrito with vegan sausage and vegan cheese replacement and devoured it. The fresh fruit bowl she got with it was so ripe and perfect! I ordered shrimp quesadillas, which were remarkable, with a yummy, very fresh and crisp green salad. They had ginger tea, caffeinated and decaf coffee. Service was excellent. They've partnered with the city of Atlanta to hire teen waitstaff throughout the summer for fair pay. Nothing is more wholesome, mom and pop, and worthy of support and celebration than a true community based business! I will always support this eatery!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — A true Southern hospitality gem! Food is flavorful, service is flawless, and the staff is absolutely amazing!!! This is without a doubt the best J. Christopher’s location in the city. Steve delivers top-tier hospitality, José works magic in the kitchen, and Angelica brings such a warm, welcoming energy to the dining experience. I'm a regular to say the least!“

“This was my first time trying First Watch and it was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon (to be expected). We were advised the wait would be around 30 to 40 minutes, but sat down inside and only waited about 5 to 10 minutes before we were called to be seated.

Pictured below is the Bacado omelette with cheese grits and the Tri-fecta with cinnamon chip pancake and scrambled eggs.

We were not expecting for the pancake to be so big, but everything was delicious.

Highly worth a try if you've never been.“

“Blue Chip has fresh and rotating lunch options daily, as well as a balance of options across all food groups. The team is very hardworking, especially Gabby and Ana. I have been to Blue Chip countless times and they both consistently multitask and work in an incredibly fast-paced environment to deliver lunch to hundreds and hundreds of customers each day. They both greet me by name every time I visit (3-4 times a week) and truly get to know customers, despite the large amount of customers. Gabby is constantly quickly checking out customers (often times multiple customers at once) to facilitate the flow of patrons. I honestly think it only takes 10 seconds for her to input my order and for me to pay - I’m always impressed. She also regularly aids with other aspects of the kitchen, helping serve customers/clean up when needed/restocking the many utensils/sauces/seasonings. My friends and coworkers often comment on how efficient, kind, and hard working she is. Lunch may be a small part of our days, but it’s always wonderful to see Gabby and Ana at Blue Chip.“

“First time coming to this pic. On Fly High Thursday, my family and I took advantage of The Flying Biscuit Café’s $5 High Flyer Breakfast deal, and it did not disappoint! Here’s what we thought of each dish.

The Eggs: I had my eggs over hard, and they were cooked perfectly without being dry. My husband went with eggs over easy, and the yolks were delightfully runny, exactly how he likes them. Our son had scrambled eggs, which were fluffy.

Sausage or Bacon: My husband and I both opted for the chicken sausage patties, which were juicy with a nice, savory flavor. My son chose bacon, and it was crispy and perfectly cooked, adding a nice crunch to his plate.

Grits: The creamy dreamy grits were the star of the plate for all of us. Smooth, rich, and buttery, they lived up to the "dreamy" name, complementing the rest of the meal beautifully.

Biscuit: The biscuits were light, fluffy, and warm, with a golden crust that practically crumbled when spread with butter. Whether with jam or plain, they were a delicious addition to the breakfast.

Waffle or Pancake: My husband had the Belgian waffle, which was crisp on the outside and soft inside—just sweet enough without being too much. My son and I both chose the buttermilk pancakes, which were thick, fluffy, and soaked up syrup wonderfully.“

“I was visiting Houston and I stop here for breakfast. I just want to give a shot out to my waiter and the cooks. I've never seen male cooks as clean as these guys were. This speaks volume! Management don't loose these guys! They are awesome cooks and they care about how they look while doing it!“
