The Atlanta Breakfast Club is a bustling diner across from the aquarium, renowned for its hearty Southern brunch classics like chicken and waffles and peach cobbler French toast.
"The key to a good Atlanta Breakfast Club experience is timing. If you hit this restaurant sitting across from the aquarium any time after 10am on the weekend, you might as well pitch a tent for the wait. So come earlier (or better yet, stop by on Tuesday morning) to slide right into a seat, where you’ll still be greeted by an efficient waitstaff scurrying about the simple, spacious dining area. While the consistent kitchen churns out expected morning fare (pancakes, chicken biscuits), folks keep lining up here for their fun signatures like the gulf shrimp and creamy grits, peach cobbler french toast, and an egg-topped waffle off a secret menu." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder

"Lee experienced this firsthand when he was charged $1 for extra butter at Atlanta Breakfast Club. His review of the breakfast spot went viral. The restaurant continues to charge the fee." - Mike Jordan
"Lee rolled into Atlanta from Las Vegas with his family the week the Michelin guide dropped here, going more viral with his food reviews than even he probably expected. During visits to nine restaurants, including the Real Milk and Honey, Atlanta Breakfast Club, Lil Baby’s the Seafood Menu, Toast on Lenox, and Old Lady Gang..." - Beth McKibben
"Wanna know why this perfectly-positioned restaurant draws crowds across the street from the Georgia Aquarium almost every morning? Because, unlike a lot of places marketing their chicken and waffles, ABC understands that people also get hungry on days that don’t start with “S.” Equally impressive is the waitstaff’s efficiency in the simple, spacious dining room and the kitchen’s overall consistency. The gulf shrimp and creamy grits is always a satisfying trip to the bayou. Finishing the four-egg omelet remains a culinary feat. And there will never be a time when ordering a lobster tail or an egg-topped waffle off the secret menu isn’t cool." - DeMarco Williams
