"If you need a wakeup jolt, R. Thomas in Buckhead’s Brookwood Hills delivers the perfect sensory overload. There are pinwheels, birdcages, tchotchkes, and several random, loudly-patterned tablecloths. But there’s also an eclectic menu assortment to match that vibe with everything from traditional breakfast offerings to chicken piccata sandwiches and teriyaki quinoa bowls. The classic establishment, which has had solid vegan options since the ’80s, also serves things like raw cashew cheese and some of the city’s best tofu scrambles—and is our most likely place to run into the ever-elusive Andre 3000. Since the pandemic, the restaurant is only open for takeout on Fridays and Saturdays until 5am, with dine-in closing at 1am." - juli horsford, nina reeder
"There isn’t anything quite like R. Thomas in Atlanta, and there wasn’t anyone quite like the colorful character Richard Thomas, who built the popular 24-hour breakfast spot on Peachtree Street. After more than 35 years, Thomas’s legacy is still a restaurant menu filled with healthier breakfast fare. R. Thomas’ was also one of the first establishments in the city to offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes." - Lia Picard
"R. Thomas Deluxe Grill, known for its late-night hours and famous birds at the entrance — Ruby the parrot, Peaches and Cream the cockatoos, and their raisin-loving toucan — has been serving food around the clock since 1985. It was also one of the first establishments in the city to center its menu on vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes. Order from all-day breakfast, grain bowls, and freshly-pressed juices. In a recent announcement, the landmark restaurant is up for sale after 40 years, though the owners hope its legacy will continue even after the sale." - Henna Bakshi
"For more than 35 years now, R Thomas on Peachtree Street has been serving up healthy and hearty breakfast and brunch fare all day long. Most of the dishes here are vegetarian or pescatarian, including the breakfast quinoa bowl with scrambled eggs, the salmon omelet, the portobello linguine, and the magic quesadilla stuffed with white cheddar cheese, marinated portobello mushrooms, zucchini, and peppers and onions encased in a spinach tortilla. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu." - Eater Staff
"Originally modeled after LA’s Hamburger Mary’s, R. Thomas’ Deluxe Grill opened in 1985 as a lighter alternative to diner food. In south Buckhead, the restaurant stays open until 11 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday, and until 5 a.m. the rest of the week. Expect omelets, bowls, smoothies, hummus plates, and plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options." - Eater Staff
