25 Classic Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"If you spot a movie or TV show with a vintage counter and waitstaff wearing earrings shaped like omelets, there’s a good chance it was filmed at Silver Skillet on 14th Street. This breakfast and lunch counter has been an ATL staple since 1956—and, of course, a preferred backdrop for many set crews. Order the corned beef hash, buttermilk waffle, and soft scrambled eggs, which look like they’re straight from Mel’s Diner (that’s from Alice, young’uns). Try them, and you’ll know this place isn’t a gimmick—the old-timey vibes and homestyle tastes are the real deal." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
