    Pancakes
    Ally Y.

    The food here was incredible. We were blown away with it all. We absolutely loved that you could pour your own coffee as you are waiting for your table. That make it much more enjoyable! The ambiance was quirky and perfect for a southern diner! Service was great and we had a wonderful time! Only knock was a 30ish minute wait for our table!

    Comfy Chicken
    Rebeca H.

    Had the famous comfy chicken biscuit. flavor was good but overall meal is a bit dry since it also comes with a biscuit.

    Comfy chicken and salmon cake

    This place is consistently a 4 star. I really like the vibe of this place. It is always a pleasure to eat at a venue where the people came for the food and no frills. I ordered the comfy chicken with a salmon patty and french toast. Weird combination but I wanted to try many items. The French toast was really good and simple. The salmon patty is good value but more breading than I expected. The comfy chicken seemed to be more breading than last time but the gravy had more sausage this time. No complaints.

    Th comfy biscuit! Just Damn

    Wonderful local spot. Of course as mentioned by others, the comfy biscuit is a go to item. Large portion and I probably don't want to know the calorie, fat and carb count but it will make your eyes roll back in your head. Large cat head biscuit

    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.

    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!

    Wild Wild Wes Sandwich
    Nicole F.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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?

    Parking can be challenging. Especially when it's busy. Don't keep any valuables in your car!

    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.

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.

My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.
