Grace is a wonderful waitress ! Had an omelet ! Was a good size, so make sure sure you are hungry. Loved the home potatoes !

Be Mindful: if you need split checks, tell your server; they don't split at pay counter. Also, orange juice is charged by the glass, NO refills. Otherwise: pancakes are great!

Majed Alashari

Apple pancake is baked and comes crispy on the edge and soft and half cooked on the middle & it taste good. Vegetable omelette is delicious and very well cooked. Coffee is good.

Dan Owens

The best coffee . This may be my new morning hangout. The best tip: Have breakfast during the week around 9 AM. No Rush. A great for breakfast and to plan your day.

Raph Baker

I don't go here for the decor. It's all about the food baby! Omelets and pancakes are the truth. Jordan is the best server ever and she looks like Mila Jovovich.

David Wiley

Omelets are cheeeesy, and the heaping bowls of fruit with cream to dip in are on point! One of my favorite breakfast spots in Atlanta

Tokyo DeMornay

The whipped cream is off the chain. I'm excited about the pumpkin pancakes . The 50's flavor is great with the cook visible. However, the staff doesn't match. Keep the theme going. Great food though!!

Cristy Lenz

Ivan was my waiter . I had everything I needed before it was needed. He even brought me a fresh cup of coffee instead of a warm up. It really is the small details that make the difference.

Lina Miranda

The fresh fruit (w/ whipping cream ) is amazing. Ask to mix up the fruit (I like strawberries & bananas ). And the pumpkin pancakes , while not actually on the menu, are awesome. A short stack is plenty.

Shally Steckerl

Try the Veggie Omelette With Salami - Extremely fluffy and overstuffed, this came with mushroom , tomato , broccoli , onions , aged cheddar and spinach . I added diced kosher salami and asked for spicy Spa

Brooke Etier

Everything on the menu is great and my favorite weekend waiter is Bill. Also, don't forget the bar is first come, first serve for seating if there are only 2 of you.

India Brantley

The strawberry crepes are fantastic! With the new ownership and cooks though they have become inconsistent.

Elizabeth F

Love this place!!! They know my kids and me, they are very nice people, their food is delish! Long lines on weekends, so go before 0930 hrs.

jose r

Coffee is really good, order the fresh fruit crepes , the apple thing that takes half an hour to prepare, cheese grits . Get here before 9 am unless you like to stand in line

Sam Lack

Banana pancakes were so good! Skip the eggs/other dishes, just get pancakes .

Alex Ravenel

Apple pancake is awesome. Order early, it takes a bit to make.

Carlos Morales

$9.49 for one waffle and a cup of berries . The egg white cheese omelette with cheddar looked like a lemon meringue pie . It was baked fluff on top of the cheese . Gross

Tiffany Johnson

The mixed fruit bowl with whipped cream is addictive! I had the pumpkin pancakes too! So good!

Jackie Garson Howard

Fabulous fruit with whipped cream . Wonderful service always.

Trek

Had the banana waffle and ham/cheese omelet . Gawdayum delicious!

Chris Bannochie

Sicilian Apple Waffle with Apple Nectar syrup is the best.

Harry Woodworth

Get here early on weekends. The food isn't worth a 20+ minute wait to be seated especially when there are a million other breakfast places in Atlanta.

Brian Edlin

I love the cherry crepes . (Hold the whipped cream .)

Helencarnate

Bacon fans will appreciate the bacon pancakes . Fresh fruit and whipped cream are divine.

Aja Hayden

Good service ...great food...French Toast delicious

Queen Cat

Sit at the bar and get the best service ever!

DIY Decorating Plan

The Dutch Baby takes time but it's the best item on the menu

Monica Randklev

I took the advice of those who recommended the fresh berries and cream. OMG!! Delicious!

Desmond Clark

The food and the employees! What is not good -- not enough disabled parking , the place needs to be renovated -- horrible looking tables and it seems they are out of date with stuff!

tommy dade

Great food. This is the real pancake not Ihop. Its really worth the wait.

Russell Bell

Dutch baby, corned beef hash , pancakes , omelettes

Russell Bell

Come hungry. The food is great.

Jazzie Chanel

Pancakes and just a reg stack. No extras needed!

Leslie Shtaida

Delicious breakfast ... Although wait times are not what they quote. Quoted 25 minutes and waited 1 hour.

Tonya Atwood

Best strawberries and homemade whipped cream .

Becky

Great breakfast , but long lines on the weekends. I adore the fresh fruit crepes !

Ron Carmichael

Be patient if you order the omelet ... They bake them after they come out of the pan. It's worth the wait.

Somebodys SomeKinda

Obviously, the pancakes are bomb!

Chelsea Bailey

Peanut butter pancakes and strawberry syrup ! Tastes amazing!

Brad Soroka

If you are lucky enough to get Bernard as your waiter , you win.

Viranuj Sueblinvong

Best omelette in town !!

Wei Yang

Wow the difference between kosher corn beef hash and not is HUGE! It's 10x better than Goldberg's across town .

Jordan Reznik

Best '49 pancakes in the world. Every meal is more than enough food!

Linda Voronetski

Just awesome

Chris Perry

Try the fresh fruit bowl ! It's amazing!

Dan Perry

Don't sleep on the crepes . They are delicious.

Shally Steckerl

Get a number and some Free coffee while you wait to be seated.

Stephanie Heath Nash

Order pumpkin pancakes and a side of whipped cream instead if syrup....AWESOME!!!

Nikkie Coco

The apple pancakes take 30 minutes to make. Tell them when you check in to get your number and they'll be ready when you sit down.
