"Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, you’ll find folks at the long booths overlooking the Beltline trail, which always gives Breaker Breaker a backyard cookout vibe. While the loungey atmosphere is a plus, the real draw is the seafood. Dig into a spicy, juicy grouper sandwich, so big it spills out of the soft bun, and enjoy it at the counter bar where you can chat with your flip-flop-wearing neighbor or people-watch the constant bustle of the Beltline from a safe distance. For extra kicks, head upstairs to the rooftop bar, Floridaman. It’s a fun, cheery place to kill a few hours, with a tropical vibe, affordable boxed wine, and delicious Cuban sandwich." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"Ideal for a quick stop with a group, Breaker Breaker in Inman Park features a huge outdoor patio that's almost as enticing as their fried fish basket. The basket comes with thick fries and white fish that's crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Even when Atlanta’s weather is flaky too, a huge awning equipped with fans stretches across the length of the patio overlooking the Eastside Beltline trail, keeping everything chill. Sip your mango and vodka Mucho Nada while you watch people chase their scooter-riding kids down the trail." - juli horsford, demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Backed by the team behind Grindhouse Killer Burgers, think of Breaker Breaker as an Eastside trail respite, where people roll up for a blackened grouper sandwich or fried fish basket paired with a frozen drink or spritzy cocktail. Chef Maximilian Hines, founder of supper club Stolen Goods, leads the kitchen and carries the coastal theme throughout the menu. Look for everything from Gulf fish ceviche and smoked fish dish to a smoked fish melt and vegan crab cakes. The latter is one of Hines’s signature dishes (a previous iteration was vegan fried calamari). The vegan crab cakes are made with mushrooms, hearts of palm, and a vegan remoulade. Head upstairs for a vibey coastal bar, Floridaman." - Molly Harris
"The team behind Breaker Breaker opened Florida Man, a Gulf Coast-themed dive bar, on the restaurant’s second floor on the Eastside Beltline. This tropical oasis is a place to hang back, watch the game on the big screen TV, and enjoy frozen cocktails and fish sandwiches." - Eater Staff
"Breaker Breaker’s backyard cookout vibe, flip-flop-wearing diners, and massive outdoor patio make it a perfect hangout for dog people who’ve just come from the Eastside Beltline. This Reynoldstown spot makes crispy fried fish platters with some of the thickest, tastiest tartar sauce around. Their wedge fries are crispy and heavily seasoned, and the juicy grouper sandwich is so big it spills out of the soft bun with a pleasantly spicy kick." - jacinta howard, nina reeder, juli horsford
