I've been excited about The Brunch at East Atlanta, a Black and woman-owned spot just outside East Atlanta Village, and finally visited for Saturday brunch. The decor is stylish, fitting right into the neighborhood, and the diverse crowd confirmed this was a much-needed addition.
The menu pricing is competitive with Atlanta's brunch scene but slightly more reasonable by about $5-6. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a Parisian Nights cocktail, while my dining partner had salmon and grits with a mimosa.
The food arrived hot, though service was a bit slow. The fried chicken was flavorful and perfectly golden--something I'd order again. The waffle was lighter and softer than I prefer but still delicious and didn't need syrup. The salmon and grits were tasty but seemed overpriced at $27 for just those two items; adding a side would make it more worth it.
Overall, this spot has potential. Expanding the menu and refining portions could make it even better. I'm rooting for this Black-owned gem to thrive in the neighborhood!
