Guidebook for Atlanta
Food Scene
this is the best breakfast spot in the city, and the wait can often reflect that. Don't worry, it's worth the wait. They even have a coffee pot with cups for you to enjoy while you wait. DO NOT MISS THE COMFY CHICKEN. Pancakes are a little bigger than the plate. Diane would slap her momma for the Hot Chicken Fried Steak Biscuit (sorry, mom). Plus a thrift store inside AND an old dude playing the xylophone and casio keyboard? COME ON.
