One of the best places to eat in College Park (technically Atlanta) is Buttermilk Biscuit, which opened a few months ago. I had originally tried it on its second day of operation, and there were only a few customers inside.
When I came back a month later, the place was pretty much packed. Its hours run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so you’d better get there early if you want a good seat.
How To Find Buttermilk Biscuit
Buttermilk Biscuit is located at 634 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337. Here’s a map to help you find it.
What I Ordered
Ok, so I’ve gone there several times. The first two times I ordered the Cajun Shrimp and Grits, which come with creamy grits, jumbo shrimp, sautéed spinach, peppers and onions, cherry tomatoes, award winning Cajun cream sauce.
After that, I ordered my go-to: The Early Bird, which is four crispy chicken wings, served with our famous waffles, powdered sugar, and maple butter.
You also have the choice of different butters for a 50 cent upcharge: Blueberry Butter, Strawberry Butter, Maple Butter and Peach Butter.
The waffles, which have just the right crunchiness on the ends, but are soft in the middle, come sprinkled with confection sugar, which I love. The chicken wings are sizeable and are seasoned in the Southern tradition. The meal may look like small to some, but you’ll be full when you finish. At least, I was.
The customer service was still trying to settle down after opening recently, but the to-go orders are fast and accurate. You have to order on the Toast app to get your food, which is an efficient process.
Overall, Buttermilk Biscuit Gets an A
An A Grade, means it’s worth your while and I would say Buttermilk Biscuit makes the grade with ease.
Final Word
Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.

Are you in the mood for some orange juice and champagne?
This article will show you some of the best places to get bottomless mimosas in Atlanta.
Why Are Mimosas So Popular?
You may think a concoction with orange juice as its primary ingredient wouldn’t have the magnetic effect it has on the brunch crowd, but mimosas are not your average adult beverage.
Drink lore has it that mimosas became popular a short distance from Ellis Island in New York as European immigrants bought their customs, cultures, and yes, mimosas, to America. The mimosa experience spread up and down the East Coast before branching out west.
Today the tasty drink is a mainstay at brunches across the Western world, including here in Atlanta.
Who Has Bottomless Mimosas In Atlanta?

More importantly the service was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Our server, Malcolm, was so lively and made us feel right at home. The manager, Chris, spoke with us frequently, gave us recommendations, and made our experience even more enjoyable. This restaurant is the definition of Southern Hospitality. They’ve definitely gained two forever customers. Thank you so much for giving us an experience that’s considered rare in this post-COVID world.”

They made sure we got our money’s worth! The food was delicious. We all got a different plate from the brunch menu and loved it. They definitely add something extra to the waffles that make them taste better than normal. The whole table agreed on that. The French toast and the breakfast sandwich were also top tier. The brunch specialty drinks were amazing and our server was top notch about drink recommendations. I will definitely be return soon! Sorry, about the chicken and waffle photo. I started eating my chicken before I took and photo and almost didn’t want to stop for the photo.”

It was a great vibe and I was a little early so I snagged a table for one. Service was awesome, and so were the mimosas and hookah. Second time, I just went out for a night drink, but caught great vibes with random people; we bonded over the music. Finally today; this was the best time I visited. The service was great and so was the chicken and beef gumbo. I brought a friend from out of town and the restaurant perfectly described the vibe of our city, my home.”
Fin & Feathers
360 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312 | (678) 705-5757
Here’s what a customer says about Fins and Feathers: “This was my first time dining in at Fin and Feathers for brunch. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The vibe was great. The hookah and the DJ was the highlight of the entire afternoon. The bottomless mimosas were good (I recommend the peach mimosas). I ordered my steak medium and it came out well-done so that’s was a bummer. But I had some of the waffle and home fries which were amazing.”
How To Make Mimosas At Home
In case you want to go the DIY route and experience the mimosa powers in the comforts of your own home, it’s quite easy to make one (or three).
Here are the directions:
- 2 parts champagne
- 1 part orange juice
- Mix in a champagne glass (fruit garnish is optional)

Veteran restaurateur Fan Zhang is planning to open his latest authentic Chinese eatery, The Dumpling Factory, in West Midtown Atlanta, AtlantaFi.com has learned.
Zhang has had major success at Northern China Eatery located on Buford Highway, and now wants to expand his business.
When Is The Dumpling Factory Opening in Atlanta?
The Dumpling Factory is opening in Atlanta in June 2024, according to news reports. The establishment will be located in the space formerly occupied by Boxcar Betty, which is closing down.
Dumplings are an Asian staple, so we are excited to see how Zhang will make the tasty dish more accessible here in metro Atlanta.
On the website of the Northern China Eatery, Zhang gives us his clearest vision yet of what to expect when it comes to his dumplings.
“Tianjin and Beijing is the birthplace of all dumplings and buns,” the website says. “The shape of the dumpling is the gold and silver currency that ancient Chinese would use, so when you eat it, it gives you good luck. Dumpling is a must have meal at 12 am on Chinese New Year day but you can get them year-round at Northern Chinese Eatery.”

Asian restaurants used to be far and few between in Atlanta, but that’s no longer the case.
The ATL has other cool eateries as well. If you’re gluten-free, there’s plenty of options. Same goes for keto-friendly restaurants or Asian fare in Atlanta.
