I had the fried fish and an a la carte pancake. The fish was fried and seasoned perfectly! The grits were good and creamy- I love grits that are made with a little extra love and not just water ☺️ The pancake was delish! Perfect amount of sweetness, not too dense, not too fluffed. They have a homemade peach jam that they serve with the toast- oh my goodness, perfect peach flavor, not overly sweet, so good and fresh! Our server was very kind and attentive. Will def come back...

I love Thumbs up and the bagels are my fav but why doesn’t it give the option to pay for cream cheese with a bagel on uber eats ? But If you get the bagel with the meat and eggs and cheese then you have the option? Please fix this guys I just want cream cheese with my plain bagel 😩😩😩😩

Amazing local diner, a perfect spot to enjoy Southern comfort breakfast foods. Ordered the Fish with Spuds, it was beautifully fried and seasoned. Our waitress was extremely attentive and the food was very affordable. A perfect spot to have a nice breakfast if you’re in Atlanta!
