"While a late-night Waffle House visit is a worthy slot on your Atlanta checklist, there’s no better place to get a taste of Southern diner culture than at this retro Poncey-Highland classic that’s been serving shortstacks since 1929. The smell and sounds of sizzling bacon greet you on arrival and regulars are usually hunched on red stools at the open kitchen counter as cooks crack egg after egg into well-worn pans. Plan to go early if you want a taste of their incredibly fluffy biscuits slathered with gravy and chopped up sausage bits—they sell out fast. If you miss out on the biscuits, grab a juicy, cheesy patty melt instead." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
