    Basic breakfast
    Jennifer L.

    I heard great things about the place from the locals. Inside is very casual and feels like a local diner. There is so much artwork on the walls which I definitely appreciated. The service was great and the staff gave many recommendations. I had the Basic Breakfast so I could try a couple of different things (and I love a no fuss breakfast). I subbed the grits for home fries and added a chocolate chip pancake. The bacon is thick so not very crispy. The biscuit melts in your mouth. The pancake is HUGE and is so good. You don't have to add any syrup because it is already the perfect balance of sweetness.

    Wild Wild Wes Sandwich

    We came Sunday around 12pm for brunch, we were told the wait would be 30-45 minutes, you can wait outside, or what we did instead was visit the surrounding shops near by to kill time. About an hour into our wait, we decided to order take out. The food was ready within 15 minutes and we found a bench near by to eat. My mother got the Lynn's Salmon patty which was more so one salmon croquette, a fried tomato over satueed spinach. The portion size was on the smaller side but the food was very good, just a bit misleading when the menu advertises a salmon patty which it was not. I got the Wes Sandwich which is just a fancy BBQ chicken sandwich. The meat was tender and it was loaded with bacon and chicken, it was very good. If the wait is long you can order a coffee inside while you wait.

    Great friendly staff. Outrageously good food. You really can't go wrong here if you're looking for good quality home cooking.

    Breakfast enchiladas

    When people talk about Atlanta staples, Homegrown absolutely belongs on the list. Amazing food with a down home diner feel and a thrift store in the back. Really how much better can it get? I stopped into this gem for a quick brunch and as always was never disappointed. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Memorial Drive, across from Madison Yards. They have a lot with free parking, but when it gets crowded (and trust it will) there's also street parking available. Venue and Atmosphere Homegrown is the perfect name because that's exactly what it feels like when you walk through the door. You feel at home. Whether it's the smiles you get from the hostess, the bar that reminds you of an old time lunch counter, or the booths that are super comfy to sit in, or the fridge covered in a million magnets. It's just immediately cozy and casual, which is the first indicator that good food is to follow. Food and drinks I got the comfy chicken biscuit, and comfy is the perfect word for it. It's an open-faced biscuit topped with fried chicken that they absolutely drown in sausage gravy. It was absolutely as good as it sounds. It was cold outside so to drink I got a hot caramel latte, extra on the caramel. You're gonna want that too. My wife got the breakfast enchiladas and the chorizo was so flavorful. Only one of us took leftover home, and it wasn't her lol. Service Staff is so friendly, from the hostess to our actual server to whoever is working the bar. You really feel like no matter what if you need help there is someone to help you. Food came out quickly, even though there was a steady constant stream of people coming and going Verdict Like I said Homegrown is absolutely a staple. It's a place for good food that will reignite conversations, make you smile, and fill your belly. You have to give them a visit. Until next time!

    Comfy Chicken
    Hernley J.

    I'm pissed it took me so long to find this place. Best chicken biscuit and gravy in the southeast and I stamp that! I ordered the comfy chicken and I can't elaborate how amazing it was. Would you believe me if I said after I ordered it took 2 minutes to get my food? Well that's a lie, because it took 1 minute and 36 seconds. I timed it and I still can't believe it. I will never eat another biscuit and gravy besides Home grown. You're welcome!

    Flawless execution. Vibes, immaculate. Speed of service - exquisite. Soft butteryness of the biscuit = transcendent. Creative use of chorizo, grits, pimento cheese, and lays. Simply life changing. Fried chicken, perfect season, classic crispiness, just juicy.

    She eats. He eats. And sometimes my plate steals the show. Homegrown came through with breakfast that knows what it is doing. I ordered the country fried steak with scrambled eggs and cheese grits and that plate was the clear winner. Crispy tender cubed steak covered in rich brown gravy with perfectly cooked eggs and smooth grits. The fried green tomatoes were easily the best I have ever had. Perfectly fried and paired with an incredible horseradish ranch that we are still talking about. The biscuit with apple butter was warm, fluffy, and delicious. I also tried the salmon biscuit. The flavor was good, but the salmon patties leaned a bit too bready for my taste. He ordered the steak hash and even he admitted my country fried steak was better. But the steak hash was still Important allergy disclaimer. I have a mushroom allergy and it was noted on my receipt. They have a table all purpose sauce that tasted amazing to him. He checked the ingredients and found out it contains mushroom extract. I did not taste it and was thankful he asked. Overall, Homegrown is a solid Atlanta breakfast spot with great food and plates worth debating. The place was amazing and you get a sense of a cozy 80s country diner!!! Just be sure to ask questions if you have food allergies.

    Cheese grits
    Courtney T.

    So upset that it took me this long to try Home Grown! The food all feels homemade and was absolutely delicious. Some of the best cheese grits I've ever had no exaggeration. Our server was so friendly and the inside is bigger than it looks. Loved that they support local artists and you can purchase different pieces! Also, the Velveteen chai latte was out of this world. Can't wait to go back!

    The one thing we knew we wanted after landing in ATL on an early flight was a great breakfast. After scouring Yelp, we decided on Home Grown--and it did not disappoint. Parking can be a bit tricky, but we arrived early enough to snag a spot in the small lot and get seated right away. Our server was friendly and super helpful with meal suggestions. I went with the Comfy Chicken Biscuit, my daughter ordered the Breakfast Tacos, and my sister chose the Chicken and Waffles. All three dishes were absolutely devoured, with barely a bite left on our plates. Great food, fun atmosphere, and friendly service--you really can't beat it!

    Comfy Chicken
    Christina K.

    If you want southern comfort food with a diner atmosphere, this is the place to go! There's plenty of parking in the area. Their parking lot is pretty big but it was full when we arrived, but there's lots of free street parking nearby. We came on a Friday morning around 11 and had to wait about 20 min, so not too long, but I heard on weekends the wait can be much longer! The inside of this place is so quirky! I love all the decor they have! Our server was super nice and once we ordered, we got served very quickly! I ordered the comfy chicken and oh my gosh was it comfy! It was a like a hug to my soul! The chicken was SO incredibly soft and juicy it almost just like fell apart as soon as I bit into it! The gravy was delicious!! The sausage bits inside were amazing! And the biscuit!! So soft and moist and very crumbly! They have enough gravy which I loved because one of my biggest pet peeves is when I get biscuits and gravy and they don't give enough gravy. Would definitely recommend this place!

    Budget-friendly, huge portions, and seriously delicious! WOW! I was extremely impressed with Home Grown and highly recommend you checking them out!

    Inside
    Diamond R.

    This place I know has good food. I think the order I placed was not as good because steak is not always cooked to everyone's preference. Outside of that the overall appearance of the restaurant was homely. I'll go back and order something different.

    This was my side of bacon and the biscuit that came with Kevin's breakfast
    Jay S.

    As always, the service was great today. The chicken biscuit with gravy was excellent strawberry waffle amazing today. I tried that Kevin's breakfast which was cheese, grits, and chili topped with eggs and again it was also an excellent breakfast. I highly recommend this joint.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they are a first come first serve. Also be aware if you have multiple people in your party they won't seat you until all of your group have arrived. That's their policy as of a month ago so not sure if it has changed. Masks are optional.

    How's the parking?

    There is a lot but we parked on the street. I’m guessing it depends on when you go. It can get busy.

    How's the wait on Sunday mornings?

    It depends if you make it before 10:30 could be 5 min to zero wait. After 11 could be 10 to 30 min. I would call before to check.

    While visiting from out of state, we were looking for a good place to have brunch. We researched…read morethe area and saw that The Breakfast Boys located in College Park, GA was Black-owned and had very good reviews. What a gem! We made reservations for the 6 of us, and upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff. There was a line of people waiting to be seated, so we were concerned about having to wait since we were heading to the airport. We had a brief waiting period before being seated. Jasmine D, our server was prompt and very personable. The menu was full of delectable choices for brunch or lunch. We ordered the Very Berry French Toast, Chix & Pancakes & bacon, Jerk Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffles, and a Kids Cheese Scramble & bacon and grits. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was attentive and patient with us the entire time we were there. If you're looking for great food, a great welcoming down home ambiance and are in the area, The Breakfast Boys is a great place to go, but make reservations! We can not wait to visit the Atlanta area again and to visit The Breakfast Boys.

    The Silver Skillet - Two egg breakfast- bacon and biscuits

    The Silver Skillet

    3.5 miGeorgia Tech, Westside / Home Park
    $$

    Some restaurants are trendy…read more Some restaurants are modern. And some restaurants take one look at changing food trends and say, "Nah, we're good." The Silver Skillet in Atlanta falls firmly into that last category. This place is an old-school Southern diner in all the best ways possible. The kind of place where the coffee keeps flowing, the biscuits arrive without apology, and calories are treated more like suggestions than rules. In fact, we took an early morning flight to Atlanta specifically to make sure we'd get there before they close at 2:00 PM. That's either a testament to how much we enjoy The Silver Skillet or evidence that we need a support group for Southern breakfast food. I'm leaning toward both. It's also been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, which usually gets my attention. But unlike some places that become famous and start coasting on reputation, The Silver Skillet still earns its following the old-fashioned way: by serving really good food. And judging by the walls and the stories, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Over the years, celebrities ranging from Samuel L. Jackson to Charles Barkley and Travis Tritt have eaten here. After this visit, I completely understand why. Whenever I'm in Atlanta, this place has become one of my regular stops. On this visit, my wife ordered the country fried steak smothered in white gravy with eggs and a biscuit. It was exactly what you want Southern comfort food to be: hearty, flavorful, satisfying, and unapologetically indulgent. Nobody orders country fried steak looking for a wellness retreat. I went with their signature country ham served with red gravy, scrambled eggs, and biscuits. Now, if you've never had country ham, understand that this isn't your average breakfast ham. Country ham shows up with attitude. Salty, rich, packed with flavor, and perfectly balanced by the red gravy. Combined with the eggs and biscuits, it was the kind of breakfast that makes you seriously consider canceling the rest of your plans and taking a nap. The atmosphere is part of the charm. It feels authentic because it is authentic. No manufactured nostalgia. No corporate designer trying to recreate a 1950s diner from a Pinterest board. This is the real thing. The Silver Skillet has survived because it knows exactly what it is and executes it well. Solid food. Friendly service. A classic Atlanta institution. And a place that's earned every bit of its reputation. Four stars. When you're willing to schedule a flight around a restaurant's closing time, that's about as strong an endorsement as a breakfast spot can get.

    I've been coming to The Silver Skillet for breakfast a few times now because I wanted to try a…read morevariety of things on the menu, and I can confidently say this place is special. They're about to hit 70 years this May, and it makes sense the second you walk in. The inside is about as classic diner as it gets. Comfortable booths, old-school feel, and a front counter with snacks, shirts, and little items for sale that just add to the charm. The staff is what really takes it over the top. Nikki has been my server multiple times, and she's amazing. She's usually singing or whistling along to whatever music is playing, and it honestly puts you in a good mood without you even realizing it. Service like that is rare. Food-wise, I've tried several things now, and everything has been great, but here are my top standouts: The catfish is one of my favorites. It comes in strips, fried perfectly, and packed with flavor. Chicken and waffles are excellent. The waffle is crispy on the outside and soft inside instead of fluffy, and it works really well. The chicken itself is seriously flavorful -- not just crispy, but seasoned really well all the way through. But the biggest surprise for me: The country ham with red-eye gravy. I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best ham I've ever had. It's thinly sliced, so you don't have to deal with a thick, chewy cut, and it's full of flavor. The red-eye gravy that the ham is marinated in (which I was told is a family recipe) takes it to another level. They also give you extra on the side to dip. If you mix that ham with over-easy eggs and hash browns, then grab a bite with a biscuit... that's one of the best breakfast bites I've had in a long time. And to top it all off, it just pairs perfectly with a nice, cold Diet Coke. Something about that combo just works. And to be clear, it's not just one or two good items -- everything I've had here has been great. I've also tried the omelet, the chicken biscuit with egg and cheese, and the country fried steak, and they've all been consistently delicious. They have a large breakfast menu, and I still haven't even gotten into lunch yet. Only thing to keep in mind is parking. There is a lot on the side, but it fills up quickly since other businesses share the area. If you come at a busy time, it might take a minute to find a spot. Overall, this is one of those places you keep coming back to. Spots like this are part of the community and deserve the support. Wishing them another 100 years.
