Whisk is a great brunch spot with sunny energy and big portions - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"Whisk, located off Camp Creek Parkway, feels like stepping into a beachy spa—wicker light fixtures, seashell whites and beiges, and plenty of big, leafy plants. You half expect someone to offer you a robe and a sea salt scrub (they don’t, but they might hand you an excellent expresso martini). Beneath the breezy look is a high-energy brunch spot that knows how to feed a crowd with big portions and food that’ll lure you back for more. And don’t be fooled by the brunch buzz (upbeat R&B, energetic servers, lively conversations, etc.). It’s easy to relax in the spacious dining room, whether you’re a jet-lagged traveler fresh off a flight from nearby Hartsfield or just someone in search of a grown-up brunch with nice scenery. photo credit: Tabia S.

Lisenbee-Parker Pause Unmute The french toast bites are a great place to start—they’re dense and full of sugary, cinnamon-y flavor, and you get enough to warrant a take home box. And the chicken and waffles ditch the fried bird for flavorful whole smoked wings instead (you get two plump wings and the waffle is big enough to share). The menu is massive, so if you’re in a lunch mood at 10am, get the giant whole fried snapper plate—crispy, delicious, and served in a rich Cajun sauce. And definitely consider ordering a latte. Our pick is the caramel brûlée, which is nearly a dessert in a cup with caramel syrup and toffee bits. It comes from the adjoining café, which also serves the full Whisk menu in case you want a quieter place to work or just don’t feel like people’ing during peak brunch hours. Food Rundown Chicken & Waffles In a nice twist from the regular fried chicken, you get whole smoked wings. They have snappy skin, the flavor seeps into the juicy meat. photo credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker Whole Fried Snapper This snapper is crispy and seasoned well, while the inside is soft and flaky. It comes with rice, a creamy Cajun sauce, and shredded brussel sprouts that have a honeyed sweetness to balance out their earthiness. photo credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker Whisk Fried Chicken Sandwich The chicken breast shines in this sandwich, managing to stay crackly and moist. The brioche bun is buttery, and it comes with housemade pickles and spicy ranch dressing that adds another layer of spicy-garlicky greatness. photo credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker Caramel Brulee Latte Yes, this is sweet and dessert-y—but the caramel isn’t so heavy handed that it tastes like you’re drinking sugar. Whipped cream and toffee bits add a nutty-buttery touch. It's satisfying. photo credit: Tabia S.
