Essential Classic Atlanta Restaurants That Continue to Endure

"With its retro diner decor and affordable breakfast fare, this cash-only spot on Ponce has been serving bottomless coffee and one of the best biscuits in Atlanta since 1994. And those fluffy biscuits, along with eggy breakfast plates like the Sante Fe scramble and Greek omelet and specials like gingerbread waffles, continue to pack the dinette tables at Java Jive each week. While the food is always a reason to hit up Java Jive for breakfast and brunch, regulars here say it’s the good old-fashioned Southern hospitality from owners Shira Levetan and Steven Horwitz and their staff that keeps them coming back for more. Don’t be surprised if even after one visit they remember your order. Cash only." - Eater Staff
