"Pull up a seat and order up something tasty. As one of Chef Ron Eyester’s recent additions to the Atlanta food scene, Diner has been one of Atlantic Station’s most anticipated new additions to the neighborhood. Featuring a throwback 50’s diner vibe complete with stainless steel everything, all day breakfasts, and a soon-to-be-christened bar, you’re sure to become a regular. If you’re in the mood for good Southern cooking, sink your teeth into the Nasty McAlister, a fried chicken, bacon, egg and cheese piece of heaven on a plate." - Nine Labs
"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
"The Majestic on Ponce de Leon has been soaking up Atlanta’s booze 24/7 since 1929. Some nights or weekend mornings simply call for comfort food. The restaurant serves up strong coffee with diner classics like steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, grilled cheese and fries, and the Ponce dog piled high with chili, cheese, and onions." - Missy Frederick
"Open since 1929, the Majestic dining room has retained its retro feel. And the kitchen still churns out breakfast staples that will us to rise out of bed. The incredibly pillowy biscuits slathered with gravy and chopped up sausage bits sell out regularly—so go early if you want a taste. Even if you sleep late, plop on the signature red stools at the open kitchen counter and dive into a juicy, cheesy patty melt while a symphony of sizzling bacon soundtracks your meal." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"This 1929-built diner is aptly named. Because one bite of this Poncey Highland spot’s fluffy biscuits slathered with gravy and chopped-up sausage bits has us feeling majestic as f*ck. The biscuits sell out regularly, so get here early to grab a booth or hunker down on one of their red stools at the open-kitchen counter. The Majestic is no longer the late-night haven it used to be, but we’re happy to keep it on our breakfast and lunch rotation." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
