Whenever we go to Georgia, my husband is going to make SURE we stop at Thumbs Up Diner. As always, the food is amazing (they have heavy hands), so I always have enough to take home and eat on the road. The food, the service and the atmosphere is always amazing; hence our reason for ALWAYS stopping in. Make sure you experience it. You won't regret it!

Everybody said hello when I walked in and I loved the fact that I could sit anywhere. My waiter was prompt and suggestive. The food came quick and it was delicious. I was on a 10 hour drive so I loved the quick service. I went early on a Sunday. At 9am to be exact and it wasn’t busy at all but I heard some regulars say “oh it will be very busy shortly”

Our favorite breakfast spot, hands down. Personal favorites include their shrimp & grits, catfish, skillets, & pancakes, but entire menu is delicious. Daily specials are always creative and enticing. ALWAYS get on the waitlist on the website before you visit on the weekends to avoid long waits. Good to take a jacket in case you are in a drafty area or by the door/window. Cash only - atm located in back.
