Fantastic local diner. In many ways, a Time Machine. Fast and efficient service. Delicious and affordable food. The best breakfast in town?.. Probably not. But half the reason to go is the setting and to experience a small but important part of Atlanta’s culinary history.
I love diners and this is a traditional, classic diner! Been around a long time. The food was great. Service was great and the inside has a nostalgic feel! Highly recommend.

I was a bit disappointed in the food since this place has such a long line most of the time when I've tried to come. The hash browns were mostly crunchy and over cooked. The pancake looked great, but left much to be desired in taste. It stuck to the plate and tasted a bit undercooked. The pie was there real reason I came. It's difficult to find lemon icebox pie, it was good but not exactly what I was hoping for.
The service was great and very attentive.

The legendary Silver Skillet in Atlanta. Great retro diner that has served the common folks and the elite over the years. The food is as always, like home.

A bit packed, but they fit us in. Food was absolutely good. Asked the waitress for her recommendation and she did not disappoint. The chicken biscuit was delicious. Flavorful, crispy, and actually not dry like other places.

This place is usually packed and you have to wait to get a seat. But it is always worth the wait.
This is a classic establishment with a lot of history behind it . We arrived pretty early . And they had a line outside but we only waited about 5 minutes . There’s no outside seating . Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu . The silver skillet isn’t equipped to handle tables larger than 5 . It’s a small environment for four -5 people at a table max. The food comes out fast and they’re ensuring you’re enjoying everything while the service is in effect. My two major nit pick is the lack of a soda machine in 2024, and the brand of syrup being used . There should be no reason I’m purchasing a canned soda at a restaurant . There’s other syrup brands out there that taste a lot better . Those packets gave me elementary school vibes . Some things can evolve for the better (in my opinion ) . If you want to use the restrooms , they’re located in a separate building next door . All in all enjoyed my breakfast . They also have merchandise for sale and vintage candies u can purchase. It’s definitely a restaurant to try when ready .
Parking: There’s a parking lot next to the restaurant. It is free and ample spots available .
