For reservations, The Breakfast Boys use Yelp, so go on Yelp to reserve a spot on a busy weekend day.

Here’s what one customer says about The Breakfast Boys. “My first time here, and it was good. We didn’t have to wait and ate downstairs. We liked our food overall. Wait staff was good and attentive. I had the Veggie Omelet with Grits. The Omelet was excellent; the grits were good but not creamy enough to my liking. The croissant that came with the meal had a horrible spoil taste. My friend enjoyed her Jerk Chicken and Waffles. I would definitely come back.”

The Flying Biscuit

1530 DeKalb Ave, SE Atlanta, Ga.

The Flying Biscuit opens in Atlanta

The O.G. of breakfast, The Flying Biscuit, checks all the boxes when it comes to pancakes, coffee, sausage and more importantly, customer service.

Buttermilk Biscuits

1634 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337

Buttermilk Biscuit has the best breakfast in Atlanta.

Tucked inside quaint shopping center Virginia Station off in College Park, Buttermilk Biscuit packs a big breakfast punch. Here’s what one reviewer says about Buttermilk Biscuits.

“The Belgian waffles were melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. Fried chicken breast was seasoned and cooked to crisp and juicy perfection, and the grits… I am a grits snob. There are literally only 3 or 4 restaurants in Atlanta that I refer others to when asked where one can find good grits. Buttermilk Biscuit has been added to my Best of Grits List! Their grits are out-of-this-world creamy, smooth and perfectly salted.Will definitely be returning soon!”
