Silver Skillet Family Diner

7 Classic Atlanta Diners, Ranked

"When you need to escape busy Midtown, the Silver Skillet delivers small-town energy that feels straight out of an old diner movie. In fact, the 1956-built restaurant has been the filming location for several of them. Its vinyl booths and walls packed with local memorabilia set the scene, while neighborhood regulars, Tech students, and tourists (plus the occasional celebrity) fill the seats. And while you won’t go wrong with much on the straightforward breakfast and Southern lunch menu, the corn beef hash is a staple—savory and hearty. Maybe even worthy of a movie cameo." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
