The White House is a good spot for quick cheap brunch. It gives you the old school diner feel. Customer service is amazing and food is just okay but inexpensive and big portions ! Definitely will be back because of the service and atmosphere! read more

service was good. waitress was very nice. however, the food was a little cold and it was overpriced. decent breakfast but not sure if we will be back. (also, the coffee cups are way too small. this did not affect my review though, just a personal preference lol) read more

Total family experience, comfort food. Absolutely love it. I would recommend to anybody I'd appreciate the whole Greek/southern experience.

It's mid. Not bad though. That staff is very attentive. The coffee is decent. The food is reasonably priced.

This is certainly a hole-in-wall OLD SCHOOL diner, but make it Greek themed. I'm telling you, so old school everything is that purple-ish mauve color with the classic bar and kitchen right behind it and all. But I'm also telling you, these are some of the best pancakes I have. ever. had. I'm one of those people who could eat breakfast food for every meal of the day, so it's extremely hard for pancakes to impress to stand out. But these were straight up scrumptious. I forced most of my party to try them and saw the reactions each time as they all agreed, they were some "damn good pancakes". And you can add m&m's into them, which was a fun addition versus chocolate chips because the m&ms had a little crunch and just wow, my mouth is watering even thinking about it again. We really enjoyed our visit here overall though- our waitress Ella was no spring chicken so she knew was she was doing, and gave us great southern hospitality. Even my gyro omelette was unique and delicious. I do think the restaurant was a bit squished. It's small, and even not being busy there wasn't a lot of room to move around once you stood up. We also ended with banana pudding, and that's never a dessert I'd choose myself but this is about as good as it comes- we saw them bring up a fresh pan of cake from the back to use for the dessert. So yummy. read more

The White House Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

White House was a place we went to regularly. That's changed the way changes happen and they weren't pleasing changes. A higher than necessary surcharge on each egg if ordered a la carte. Other price hikes became inevitable. Food started coming to our table under or over cooked. Orders weren't correct or items were just missing. We don't expect perfection but we shouldn't have to experience this regularly. Kimberley retiring, Miss Ella's hip replacement putting her out for ages, and replacements being unprofessional. We never wanted formality but please don't complain to me about any aspect of your workplace. I'm not really a friend and it's just ugly. Catherine came along and service was back to being friendly and as free from error as she could make possible. She didn't even need to ask if something didn't come out as expected. Even Catherine couldn't get the kitchen sorted though. We go once in a while to sit in Miss Ella's section and see her warm smile now that she is back. Service is as good as she ever gave us but the kitchen cooperates inconsistently. Still, that's an improvement already. I don't think it's gone downhill but it's experiencing something of a winding road. It'll make it out. We'll continue to visit occasionally while looking forward to returning as regulars. read more

The food is great here at this old school diner. Very friendly service and lots of choices for "meat and three" S well as many other items on the menu. The day we ate they also offered free banana pudding which was excellent! Can't wait to go back. read more

If you're on the hunt for a classic home style diner, you've found it. Not only does the White House serves up some of the best classic diner style food, but the service is also on par. My go-to is the Tennessee eggs: buttery eggs scrambled with tons of garlic and parsley with a side of hash browns. While the food is great and the service is sweet as ever, the prices are definitely reflective of Buckhead A $50 diner breakfast between two people is an occasional treat. In the meantime, I'll be at Waffle House! read more

Classic (and historic) diner in Buckhead. I sat right at the counter and had service right away. My order came promptly. You will see people who have been up all night sittting with those who have an early morning. Great to have french toast as an option. Lived up to expectations and was delicious. Eggs and country ham were also good. Would like to have had some honey to put on my grits (not available). Breakfast is pricey but matches the cost of everything in the Buckhead area. read more

Worst service ever. Ordered two biscuits for pickup at 7am, waited 30 minutes just for them to say they don't accept mobile orders. Showed them the order on my phone and they said sorry. Took my 20 dollars, gave me no food, made me wait outside for 30 minutes. Terrible service read more

My first time trying this diner. I ordered a chicken omlet with hash browns. I enjoyed my food but I do thinn it was really expensive for breakfast. I might go back because it's close to me. read more

It felt more like a bar that served food. More than a restaurant. We ate outside. It was not crowded- but the servers were mostly nowhere to be found. When the food finally did arrive, it was good. I got the bison burger. It came with onion rings and a large plate of fries. Good value. read more

We just tried this spot for the first time after recommendations from friends. But this morning, the service was really disappointing. The young waiter with curly brown hair and a mustache was surprisingly rude and short with us for no reason. Everyone else at this place is seemed warm and welcoming, but he was acting as if he didn't want to be there. Hope this was just a one-time thing, but honestly, someone like that shouldn't be dealing with customers. read more

Homestyle diner feel, right out of the 70s. The service provided by a sweet elderly woman who was clear passionate about her job, warmed my heart. While the food prices reflects Buckhead ($23 OTD for their White House breakfast) Eggs - buttery Bacon - perfectly crispy Coffee - fresh Hashbrowns - crispy 9.2/10 would recommend! read more

A good and solid diner type situation. It's nothing flashy or nothing special, but if you want some eggs and hash browns and toast, this is your place. It's a real family-owned kind of vibe, and everybody there is so nice and friendly. I would definitely keep visiting, I think it's a basic situation but it's worth it. You know you have those spots around Atlanta that do all the fancy shrimp and grits and all that kind of stuff, this isn't that. But just solid diner food, this is the way. read more

This is your standard diner fare. The wait staff is a little on the slow side but it was fine. Coffee sizes were too small for me and wanted more refills than what I got. My food was a little unflavored for me considering I got the chicken and biscuits and gravy and the chicken was just chicken fingers over biscuits. It left a lot to be desired if I'm being honest. I would try a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit next time I go. The scene is a typical diner. But fun to go in with an open kitchen. read more

The White House Restaurant - Chicken and Biscuits with Country Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Friends, this Buckhead diner is the real deal, a place where the wait staff serve southern hospitality along with great food! When I inquired about lunch at 10:30 am in the morning, my waitress said, "of course, darlin." My little heart melted while my mouth salivated. It had been too long since ordered a cheeseburger with fries! See photo taken right before I cleaned my plate! :) My boyfriend ordered breakfast (his favorite meal!). Even when she mistakenly delivered grits instead of his hash browns, the slip was corrected earnestly and quickly. Kind people are my kind of people! Prices have gone up here over the years ($20 for an omelet), but it is such a pleasure to support this small, family business. The service and food are worth the price! Enjoy! read more

The White House Restaurant - Bacon Egg Sandwich with Cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It was college graduation day and our daughter needed it be be "a breakfast place", as she flitted into our lives briefly as part of her laundry list of pre-ceremony tasks. The White House served up exactly that, with her breakfast of dreams. Somebody gets stars for plentiful parking spaces here, if you know where to look. Don't be like those fools trying to squeeze your Expedition into the front slots designed for Fiestas. *Pro tip: park in back for a little extra elbow room. Walk in the back door to what looks like you've landed in the bathroom area. Don't be afraid: there's a door to the restaurant as well. Now the fun part: trying to snag a table for your party of five. Fortune smiled on us this day, in the form of our aforementioned daughter, who somehow arrived earlier than usual and grabbed a 6-spot. It must be that promise of breakfast that pulled her in. Coffee is decent-er than expected at a diner-ish establishment, but drink up those refills since you're paying coffee shop prices for "house drip". Onward to the menu, diverse enough for the picky and the shy. Shockingly my daughter didn't go for a biscuit--must be turning a page with graduation looming--but yes eggs were still involved. She's told me with flair that eggs need yellow in them and egg whites don't cut it. That's probably good here, as I imagine such a "special order" request would be met with an icy stare (example later). But she enjoyed those yellow eggs and other breakfasty stuff (bacon). Meanwhile I made the error of asking for hash browns as a side sub. "No you don't want those, they're extra", my grandmother/waitress informed. Oookay I guess I'll stick with the wheat toast to accompany my garlic/parsley eggs with a spiffy name (not called garlic/parsley eggs--who would do that). Throw in some grits though and I was hardly remembering that thing I wanted to sub extra; what was it? Oh well. One of us ordered biscuits and gravy with the gravy on the side. Believe it or not: the gravy was indeed on the side! And the biscuits were pretty mammoth, so much so she took one home for that time later when the only thing that could satisfy would be a biscuit without any gravy. Meanwhile my wife had this wild idea she'll order something exotic they're out of. Nice. But bonus points and this is one of 10,000 reasons I love her: she managed to finagle (out of the same grandmother) a side of hash browns. For me. The love is growing. Later, when informed they were out of that thing she ordered, she went with the gyro with allegedly "chicken". It was either not chicken or chicken pâté or chicken slices, but it was still good. I'll admit it wasn't your standard chicken wrap. Leave it to the ordering phenom she is to order two things that don't usually mix (how many chickens versus lambs do they have in Greece?). All was well that ends well since I was chomping on those hash browns like my life depended on it. My son got an omelette which was well-enjoyed, etc. Sorry, not meaning to give that omelette short shrift; I'm sure it was a big day for that omelette coming out in the bottom of the ninth. It delivered all the yellow egg it could muster. Most of us spent the meal looking at the baby anyway so you're lucky I remember this much. But what I do remember was good eating, so we enjoyed our time and will return when able. read more

I've been coming here for a while and usually have a great experience -- the staff is friendly, and the service is good. However, today was different. Our server, a younger man with curly brown hair and a mustache, was noticeably rude and dismissive. It was especially upsetting since we came in after church, looking forward to a nice breakfast. Unfortunately, his attitude soured the entire meal. I really hope management takes a closer look, because one bad apple like this can ruin the welcoming environment the rest of the staff works hard to create. read more

It's a bustling Sunday morning here, deceptively busier than it appears from outside it's single door and tiny parking lot that somehow always appears empty. Inside... it smells like breakfast and the conversations of guests 8 to 87 years old (or more) fill the small space. Singles at the counter is a classic diner rule, so that's where I am. I've been here before but it's been about a decade if I'm honest - and things are pretty unchanged, aside from the expected menu pricing increases... which are still few comparatively. This Buckhead staple has been here since 1948, and that's the best part. The server - red haired and nailed and maybe one of the original here? - is kind, efficient, of few words, and decidedly southern. Pretty much everyone here is. It's not shiny, new, trendy, or expensive. It IS delicious, quick, and a Buckhead staple. I had a fruit cup and a Turkey sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit this morning - complete with stretchy melted cheese scrambled into the egg as it should be. Fluffy biscuit with crispy little flaky edges, carbohydrates be damned. Worth it. The owner made his way down the counter refilling coffees and greeting diners - truly charming. Just come here. Really. ATL will very slowly lose these wonderful little spots as we further gentrify even the gentrified neighborhoods - don't miss your chance. Fresh menu photos, since it had been a while since someone posted them! Cheers read more

Holy southern hospitality. I walked in a complete stranger, and I left The White House Diner feeing like I had been a regular for 20 years. Without a doubt, this place is the real deal. It's been around since 1948, and has been run by a wonderful gentleman named Dimos since the 60's. He is such a nice man! He took the time to introduce himself and tell us his story. From the moment you walk in you feel like you're at home. You pick your seats and are greeted by a server fairly quickly. Everyone here is so friendly. It's an energetic upbeat, atmosphere. I had the Olympic omelette with hashbrowns and a croissant. The omelette included spinach, tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, feta, and tzaziki. Everything was fantastic! The hashbrowns were very notable. Not too oily, but a perfect crisp. The coffee here is solid, as well! I'm so excited to come back here someday. I hope you all get the chance to try The White House Diner! read more

First time here. Had a breakfast business meeting here and we both ordered the Gyro omelette. We both agreed that it might be the best omelette we both have ever had.

The White House Restaurant - Gyro Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

If you're looking for a quick, quality traditional diner breakfast - this is your spot. The restaurant ambiance is traditional diner style with some tables, booths along the wall and a bar top facing the open kitchen with swivel stools. I stopped in here for a pre-conference breakfast and had my food less than 10 minutes after sitting down. My waitress at the bar (didn't grab her name) was sweet, attentive and speedy. I ordered the fruit cup and an omelette. The fruit cup was 10/10. Typically I find fruit cups mostly consist of the "cheaper" fruits (cantaloupe, etc), but this one had banana, berries, apple, grapes and more. The omelette was also fantastic - egg whites, vegetables and grilled chicken. Came with two pieces of buttered wheat toast. All in all, highly recommend. Total price for the meal, including coffee, was $23. I'd typically think this was *slightly* steep for a diner price, but a grilled chicken egg white omelette is likely not their frequent order and would be similarly priced at restaurants where it is more likely. read more
