45 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Riverdale

“I have to give a big shoutout to Mrs. Mary at the IHOP on Highway 138 in Riverdale. She is the heart and soul of that place! From the moment you walk in, she greets you with warmth, kindness, and true Southern hospitality. Mrs. Mary is not only professional and attentive, but she also makes every guest feel like family.

You can tell she loves what she does—she’s always smiling, checking in, and making sure everything is just right. It's rare to find someone who brings that level of dedication, grace, and genuine care to their work. She made my visit memorable, and I’ll definitely be back because of her.

IHOP is blessed to have Mrs. Mary—shes a true gem.“

“love the food. On trip back to Georgia and enjoy the food.“

“Food was good but Waffle House has gotten expensive. $6 for a waffle? The waitress seemed to be in a little bit of a rush even though there weren't that many people there. She hurried off before I could finish my order but with the prices, I guess it's better I didn't add more.“

“The food is delicious and the service is phenomenal“

“Center of Hope Women Embracing Women gathering was amazing. It was a Vibe Service & Food was a 10.“

“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 ....“

“Visited Atlanta this weekend, and I visited this restaurant after a friend recommending it to me after watching the Food truck show on Food Network. The restaurant was very beautifully decorated but the highlight was the food. Their biscuits are unique and delicious. You can tell they are fresh. All of the people at our table had wonderful meals and everything was so amazing. I have their take on biscuits and gravy. It was biscuit, gravy and a friend chicken thigh. The thigh was crispy, not overly breaded and not grease in sight. The gravy was to die for. I would have licked the plate if I could. Another great addition was our waiter Jaida. She was sweet, kind and attentive. She killed it on a sometimes rather difficult crew! Would definitely come again if I’m ever in the area and hope more people find out about this gem of a place!“

“I have loved Folk Art for so many years. I was delighted to learn of the Hapeville location. Great food. Friendly staff. Cool vibe. Welcoming. It would be a huge mistake to miss an opportunity to dine here or grab a drink.“

“The food is delicious , customer service is great and the atmosphere is amazing. Just left an event with Jackie Paige as host and my daughter won tickets for the Brandy and Monica concert 💕“

“Their rolls and donuts are always top quality!!! Next is a bacon sandwich! Last time I went in, someone was waiting for their bacon sandwich and it smelled amazing!!!!“

“Amazing customer service. A variety of items on the menu. I had the catfish and grits. Fish seasoned well and fried hard like I like it. Grits were very creamy and thick and seasoned to perfection. Definitely will return. Also tried the sweet potato pancake and it was delicious.“

“Fried fish was the bomb. The loaded omelette that came with shrimp, chicken, bacon and sausage was delicious. Operationally there could be some improvements. I don’t think the kitchen has the right kitchen fan to circumvent the smoke. The door was open to let some of the smoke out and it was cold that day. The server was sweet and attentive but she we had to get our order corrected twice. My grits were cold and my fish was room temp but it was still good. The beignets were so good but only came with 3 in one order. Overall I will be back, the food was good, service good and the prices were amazing.“

“I had just the perfect time during my lunch break. The service staff was courteous, the food was great, and the ambiance was naturally pleasant. Soul food in Forest Park...

Parking: Parking can be challenging depending on the time and day...“

“Dusky able to visit this quaint establishment. The menu was a nice selection of breakfast fare, mainly biscuits/ bread with various items. We got the Bhaskar Special and it was pretty good. Needed a little salt but they offered vegan sausage which was a plus.“

“The employees were friendly and considerate to my family in our situation. It was the Waffle House where my son went every morning on his way to the office before he passed away July 23, 2021. We went there today in memory of him and received excellent service.“

“My Friend & I had Breakfast here, & it was Wonderful!!! The Service wad Very Good, & the Food was Excellent. I had the Sirloin Tips & Eggs. It was GREAT!!! The Sirloin Tips was the Tenderest Meat I've had in a Long, Long Time!! Really Delicious!!! It was a Very, Very Great Experience All the way Around!! I Highly Recommend it as a Great Place for Breakfast!!!“

“The energy in here is top tier…the staff sang for my daughter’s birthday and played music while dancing. I thought this was so dope. Thanks Bigg Patt definitely for starting it off and keeping that positive energy while working in a very busy environment. Thanks also to our waitress Toreanna for her great service. It’s not close to my house but I found my home Waffle House when I got the taste for it 😂“

“Great food and cheap. Good recommendation“

“We had the best service ever. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend the one in Fayetteville, GA!! Will definitely be back❤️“

“Breelyn was great! She was polite, and checked on us regularly. My father and I were skeptical because it was empty. However, they surprised us with incredible food! I got the sirloin tips (mushrooms and onions), scrambled cheese eggs, hashbrown and pancakes. My father had the cookie butter pancakes and the impossible sausage combo and added cheese grits!
We were both very satisfied with the service and the food! 💕“

“This place was amazing! The food was delicious 🤤 the service was top notch…go in and ask for Samya 🙂“

“Their food is good when it's not rushed. 3am is a great time to go there“

“Food was great and the cooks were 👍 great but the young waiter seemed very distracted and I had to flag him down 2 times about water and my bill. But he was nice ,just needs to work on his awareness, I still tipped him ,but not as much as I wanted too.“

“The man that waited on also cooked for me and that’s the best pork chops and hash browns I’ve ever had at a Waffle House“

“Honestly
I only stopped by here because I had a taste for some cheese grits. And bacon 🥓 😋. The crew there was very helpful and assisted me in my order as others were also coming in. Once my order was completed I paid and I just sat in my car 🚗 and yessssss I enjoyed my meal. Now I would definitely go back again due to I appreciate the customer service that was given not only to myself but to others there.“

“My first time trying Waffle House was here. The food was great, we had no issues. The staff was friendly and nice, when we went, nobody else was in the restaurant, so we had the whole place to ourselves. They had plenty of parking out front. I’d eat here again.“

“This is an older IHOP style layout that shows wear, however it is clean and well run.

I’ve been here a few times this year. Food is perfect. Served promptly. Served with a smile. Team members take pride in their presentation.

I’ve been going to IHOP for about 50 years and this is a very similar looking field to the very first one I ever went to. It is very heartwarming to eat at this older location. The only things that will never be the same are that mom and dad won’t be here to dine with me anymore, but at least it brings back good memories.“

“The waitress and cook were nice. The food was delicious. No complaints.“

“Chops are cooked awesome 💯💯💯💯😋😋😋🐷🐽🐷“

“Clean, Friendly Staff and good food. I’m visiting from southeast Georgia and our waffle houses aren’t near on the level this location is on.“

“Great food most of the cooks at the waffle House and cook some of them need more training“

“Our waitress Naiya was very attentive to our needs and provided great service. A special shout out to Cam and Dre who cooked the delicious breakfast—dynamic duo! I love Waffle House but this by far was the best service and food that we’ve ever received at a Waffle House. Quite honestly, the entire team worked extremely well together during our visit. Highly recommend!“

“Myself & my husband we had a wonderful experience especially with our waitress Maria was thoughtful, wonderful personality, checked up on us all throughout our visit, food was lovely, & she has a wonderful mind set of a assistant manager, Thank you Maria“

“Waffle House is the place for quick hot breakfasts, 24 hours.“

“This was my first time at this location. It was clean and had a nice vibe. I was able to hear my table's conversation, without other patrons' conversations intruding. Except the grandmother with her 2 grandbabies, they had to be 5 and under ... they were giving the table between us the blues!“

“Christmas Eve tradition brought us here. Great food kept us coming back!“

“Stopped by after a long day and flight, and the night crew took care of us! Everything was awesome, they were attentive to order specifics, and the food was fresh, made with love! Everyone was satisfied and ready for the ride back home. Thank you again!“

“we like family' here very welcoming“

“After going to the Waffle House on Jonesboro Rd Morrow Ga where all but four tables were not cleaned and no one working made an effect to clean just one table. Was this a racial thing since everyone working there was black and me and my granddaughter are white we left went to WH on Tara Blvd and was welcomed in and Our order was taken right away and served.“

“Customer service was excellent“

“Peaches and her cook were awesome. The 2pm to 9pm staff were great. They even remade my cheese grits to make them fresh and hot vs. cold and lumpy. To top it things off and for the win they actually had chocolate milk! ? S/N - So many locations do not have chocolate milk.

Kid-friendliness: It the Waffle House! They are always kid friendly. ?

Wheelchair accessibility: It the Waffle House! They are always wheelchair accessible for entry, exit, and low counter top seating. ?“

“Really good and great customer service“

“I wanted banana pancakes and they had ran out of bananas. The waitress, Zoey, told me the unfortunate news, but I was ok. I thought they may not have th ice cream to go it’s them anyway. I was craving those pancakes, since I had given my order to a close friend a few weeks prior while visiting Chicago.
Zoey’s energy was so positive at 6 am so I was ok with it and just enjoyed my coffee….

A lil later…
Zoey full of energy came back to the table and told me her manager was running to grab some bananas for me to make me some fluffy rich so delicious banana pIHOP pancakes!!!!
