The 12 Best Breakfast Spots In Atlanta

"The back of the menu at this West Midtown throwback diner has a list of all the television shows and movies that have utilized the nostalgic space. And one peek into the one-room dining area that’s been relatively unchanged since 1956 makes it clear why Hollywood keeps calling—so if you want eggs with a side of retro escapism, this should be your first stop. There's lots of quaint charm here: the tiny green and brown booths are so close you could pass a bottle of syrup to the opposite table without shifting in your seat. And they serve a few dishes you no longer see everyday in Atlanta: Southern staples like eggs with a side of country fried steak doused in gravy or tasty corned beef hash make it clear that the food isn't just a movie gimmick, but the real deal.
