    Visited this establishment for the first time & it was the best decision I’ve made since I’ve been in Atlanta. Great service, nice vibe and the FOOD!!! Absolutely amazing! I had the peach cobbler French toast & I never want it any other way than this now! Great portion size, servers wore masks and the place was spotless. Make sure you stop by the Mimosa bar outside also. Do yourself and your palette a favor and indulge 👅

    WOW! We had heard about this joint from family and we were told we had to visit when we came to Atlanta. We are SO glad they told us - this is an experience no one should miss out on! The food was exceptional!!! You can tell every single detail of the food was well thought out and purposeful. The staff was phenomenal! And the entire experience, including the DJ outside while we waited made our experience great! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

    This was our first place to eat after arriving in Atlanta. We did use the waitlist but it took awhile before we got seated. After we got seated, our server was wonderful. She made sure we got everything we needed. Prices are slightly expensive but the portions were ample. We ordered the chicken and waffles, salmon croquettes, and shrimp and grits. They’re all 5/5 in my book. Chicken was moist and tender. Waffle was soft and not dry. Salmon croquettes tasted great with that sauce. Shrimp and grits had a lot of shrimp in it. They don’t skimp over the meat.

    A little pricey but worth it! I suggest if you want to dine here, use Yelp or call ahead and make a reservation else you might have to wait a bit. We got there at 8:30am and waited 30 minutes. Shortly after we got "in line" (they text you when it's your turn) the place got crowded outside with a bunch of people waiting much longer than 30 minutes. I got the custom biscuit order with chicken, cheese egg, and shrimp gravy. The shrimp gravy was the star of the show here! Fantastic! Between the wife and I, there was nothing left - clean plate club all the way. The wife ordered chicken and waffles with peach cobbler (The GA Peach). It was very good, but our opinion it was overly sweet. We saved about 1/2 for leftovers. Some may like theirs so sweet, so to each their own! :) Would I recommend this place - heck yea! Get the shrimp gravy! It's unique compared to all the typical southern gravies you'll find anywhere else. We look forward to another visit here soon!

    I got the fried green tomatoe BLT, now I really am not a big fan of tomatoes but I wanted to step out my comfort zone. I was not disappointed as odd as the toppings were, it all came together giving a unique delicious flavor. It’s kinda sweet and salty. Sweet because the corn salty because the bacon but also refreshing due to the greens and avocado. The tomato was well seasoned and the cheesy grits were too. My bf got the chicken and waffles, the chicken was great but I don’t recommend getting waffles to go because they get soft in the containers.

    They’re not kidding in calling this a “Food Paradise.” One of the best meals of our trip. The place was hopping (on a Monday morning, no less). We checked in (they’ll tell you the wait time and take your phone number - when your table is ready, they’ll text) and sat outside in the sunshine, got a mimosa from the truck, and listened to the DJ. Chill. It’s best to rest up because the food is plenty and oh so delicious. We ordered the “dirty bird” (chicken, bacon, eggs, waffles… goodness!), the salmon croquettes AND the cinnamon roll. The croquettes came with the creamiest butteriest grits we’ve ever had. The cinnamon roll was beyond great. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!! Thank you to our friend John who recommended it. ❤️ It’s accessible goodness, great for everyone! The hostess was lovely, our waiter welcoming, friendly and the food arrived fast and hot and oh so good! The parking spaces are few, park elsewhere and walk over. So happy our hotel was nearby as a nap was needed 😜 I said this out loud as we left and the gentleman who saw us out exclaimed “That’s when you know it’s good!”

    What’s not to love about this place? Food was absolutely amazing and the service was second to none! Our server Kevin and his apprentice were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of and had everything we needed. The atmosphere was very nice and welcoming. The DJ in the parking area had the tunes rolling while we were waiting to be seated. I’m recommending this establishment to anyone visiting the area and looking for an amazing place to chill and catch a good vibe. Definitely A-1! Deliciously good.

    First time here and will definitely come back. The food is incredible. I went with the peach cobbler chicken and waffles, the mix of sweet and savory was perfect. Try their homemade hot sauce with it too. The staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful, made me feel like I was at home. Frankie was very personable and gave great suggestions, but everyone was very nice. The food is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. The music was great too. The only thing they're missing is a liquor license for some mimosas.

    A must-have! Ordered a freshly baked cinnamon roll and it was very tasty with the right texture. The shrimp and grits were amazing. Grits were so creamy and flavor was outstanding. Also, had the chicken and biscuit/gravy with eggs. Perfect blend of flavors and cooked to perfection with a big serving size. Gwen, our waitress was so welcoming and attentive. Can't wait to return.

    I finally got to try this place and it was worth the wait! It's busy but their system makes everything run so smoothly. They have a waitlist on Yelp so you can get in line and you will get a text and a call when your table is ready. So I sat down and ordered the chicken and waffles and no lie - my food was at my table in less than 5 minutes. And, it was delicious. I also ordered a side of Salmon croquettes. Delicious! Will definitely be back!

    I had a chance to visit Atlanta Breakfast Club during a layover in Atlanta. It was an easy walk from the Georgia Aquarium and the Coca Cola Museum. As for the food, I could eat that shrimp gravy on Styrofoam, and it would be delicious (no, I'm not recommending Styrofoam as a food replacement........but don't skip the gravy). The biscuits and fried chicken were very standard IMO. I really enjoyed the French toast. If you're in Atlanta around breakfast time, then this is a MUST VISIT! Don't let the line scare you. The vibes are immaculate and the food is top tier.

    A bit of a wait, but well worth it! The hot chocolate is a mug of creamy deliciousness! Everything we ordered was amazing, the breakfast tacos were good, but they didn’t compare to the rest of the items. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive! Will be back!

    Wow! Fantastic service and flavors. I just got the fruit and yogurt and it was excellent. My friends got the fully loaded waffles and chicken and chicken biscuit platter. There are a few gluten-free options including the shrimp and grits. Servers were very friendly and helpful.

    This is a great spot for good comfort food. We got seated right away and our hostess was excellent at explaining the most popular and her favorite dishes. The place has a laid back casual vibe and the service is quick. I got the shrimp and grits with cheese which was nice and creamy and had a great flavor. My husband got the salmon croquette and it had a nice crisp to it and a great sauce. We also tried the homemade cinnamon roll and a biscuit which were both really good! Definitely suggest those, they were soft and chewy and delicious . Also the bottled water they served was great. We had a nice time and would most definitely come back.

    Come with an empty stomach as you will need it to taste all the goodness from this place. We went on a busy Sunday morning and was told wait would be 25 min for a party of 4, but we only waited for about 10 minutes before we were seated. Our server was great and service was very quick. The only disappointing thing was they ran out of chocolate milk. Food portion is very generous and definitely enough to share. Cinnamon roll was baked fresh and absolutely delicious. And the chicken and waffles were also amazing. Wish the chicken was a little more crispy, otherwise, the dish was perfect.

    We were looking for something open Christmas day for breakfast. Stumbled upon this place and there wasn't a wait at the time. The waiter was outstanding in providing suggestions on what to eat. The food was absolutely delicious, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny as the cost to add sides to your entree adds up quickly, plus the entrees themselves are pricey. $4 for a 16.9 ounce bottle of water, and $5.25 for a 11.5 ounce bottle of orange juice. Parking is very limited-we had to park on the street and pray that the car wasn't towed. In the picture: peach cobbler chicken and waffles, scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and a bottle of Just Water= $32.70 (not including tip or tax.) I would come here again. The chicken was fried firm, but it was juicy inside, perfectly seasoned, not too salty. In addition to pairing well with the waffles, they would go well on a sandwich.

    Let me start by saying, if you have never been here, you need to go. This place is absolutely amazing. Yes you will wait for a table. Don't worry it's worth the wait. Once inside your food comes fast. On this visit our server was Paul and he was spot on. Told us about the off menu items.(we ordered 2 of them. His service was perfect. Our food was incredible and amazing. We ordered the fried lobster 🦞 and grits. Peach cobbler French toast. And the peach chicken and waffles. Do not miss this place. Make sure you look at the menu while waiting for your table. They take the entire order at one time. Check out the DJ Julian spinning the good vibes for you while you wait

    This place is amazing. Be prepared to wait but it is well worth the wait. It was 5 of us on a Sunday and the wait was about an 1.5hrs. Between the 5 of us 3 different meals were ordered and everyone loved them. I had the Georgia Peach (pic) which was chicken & waffles with bacon, peach compote, and powdered sugar. Two of my friends had shrimp and grits, another had the regular chicken & waffles, and the last friend had salmon croquette. My friend said they were the best salmon croquettes he had ever had. The service was quick and precise; no one had an issue with their order and everything came out quickly despite the long wait time. Also, once you are done, be prepared to ask to leave. With there being a long wait, they don't allow you to just sit around after you settle your bill. They kindly ask that you leave so that they can get other guests seated. I will definitely come back and visit every time I am in the area.

    It was my first time going and we were a party of 5. The wait was long no lie but when I say it was definitely worth the wait...it was so worth it! Paul was our waiter he was amazing! He answered all of our questions and even let us see pics of the food. Everything came out hot and fresh. We did not have any issue with any our orders we were very impressed and will definitely be coming back next time we're in town.

    The food here is phenomenal. We ordered and I swear the food shot out the kitchen in 10 mins tops hot and cooked to perfection. I ordered the French Toast Peach Cobbler and egg whites/turkey bacon/ breakfast potatoes. The French toast was amazing.. and my family was happy with what they ordered also. Shot out to our waitress Gwen who was friendly and top notch! Kevin has great energy and people skills! Keep up the good work guys, you make this place great.

    First and foremost, I'd advise you to set your alarm a bit earlier when planning to visit this place for breakfast because it's the ultimate breakfast hotspot, and the line forms quickly! Don't let the wait deter you; it's absolutely worth it. The atmosphere here is nothing short of fantastic, and everyone you encounter is incredibly kind and friendly. I had the pleasure of visiting Atlanta and was wholeheartedly recommended to try this gem, and boy, was it a fantastic choice! In all honesty, this is hands down the BEST BREAKFAST restaurant I've ever been to. I had the "dirty bird" and a peach cobbler waffle, and both dishes were nothing short of exceptional. The flavors, the service, and the entire experience were top-notch. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Atlanta, just to come back to this remarkable restaurant. If I could, I'd rate it 100/10, that's how outstanding it is!

    Great service and delicious food. Best smothered chicken and waffles I ever tried and im not a waffle person. The crab cake was kind of dry for me but it taste good the shrimp and grits was a large portion and so tasty. The vibe is unmatched. It’s in a great location just a cross from the Georgia aquarium less than a 2 minute walk it’s so close. I would come back to visit Atlanta just for this place.

    For a quick and decent breakfast before exploring downtown attractions, this place could work, but there are some things to consider. The music is incredibly loud deliberately, aimed at a speedy turnover of tables. The wait staff were amiable but made a few order errors, fortunately, the overall quality was still good. However, don't plan on lingering for coffee after your meal; the staff is quite insistent on guests leaving promptly.

    This restaurant is in Atlanta Georgia near the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. It’s staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My meal was the peach cobbler waffles and chicken, it was delicious, And different. The food was hot and timely. The customer base was mixed and plentiful. So get there early, because the wait can be long. We waited for almost 2 hours. But they do give you the option of leaving and receiving a text when it’s your time to go back to the restaurant. Which we found to be very helpful. I will definitely go back whenever I’m in Atlanta again.

    Amazing food! Service was great, they were very friendly and had great recommendations. It was packed suggest calling ahead for reservations. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Their parking lot in front of restaurant was small but there is plenty of parking in the back. Food was fresh and delicious. The sweet tea is in house and bottled but great!

    Me and my wife waited to get seated for almost 2 hours...in the rain, might I add. I thought to myself this food better be good. And it was. I ordered the chicken biscuits and gravy and my wife got the chicken and waffles (The Georgia Peach). I’ll definitely come back here. The homemade hot sauce was good too

    So good! When we showed up there were lots of people waiting outside (it was a Sunday). Decided to put our name in. Told it would be an hour. Waited outside listening to live DJ and enjoying the outdoor heaters. Were called to our table at about 45 minutes. Service was great! Food came out quickly and we all enjoyed everything! Definitely recommend! Fyi: you do have to find parking in the area but wasn't too hard and had a nice walk after all that food!

    First time here And I was pleased with my visit. Was told a 40 minute wait and I was called in about five minutes that my table was available. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable and she helped with some of our suggestions to eat (we were all torn between two choices each.) Portions we’re more than enough and two of us couldn’t eat everything from being full and had to get to go trays. Food was amazing all the way around. Pricey but I will definitely come back again.

    There’s a lot that could be said about this place. The wait is long. Like really long. But they make it fun and the food is worth it. We had a large group that they accommodated with no issues. The food was amazing. Definitely enjoyed the biscuits more then the waffles. The specials are almost double the price if you aren’t aware. The staff was amazing and everyone had a great attitude.

    Hubby and I drove up to Atlanta to visit this eatery based on some great reviews. So glad we did because the place did not disappoint. Upon arriving we were surprised with how many guests there were on a Wednesday morning. We did not have to wait to be seated and we're pleasantly greeted by our hostess and waitress "Queen". She gave us some recommendations as first timers, she was super attentive and friendly. I ordered a Veggie omelette with a side of Avocado and slices of tomatoes on the side. My omelette did not disappoint! All fresh ingredients and the texture of the veggies were perfect no seasoning needed other then my must have hot sauce. My husband and I were in awe at the cleanliness and attentiveness of the wait staff for the venue. The open kitchen was sparkling clean and workers were walking around tidying up as guests came and went. The place is a whole cute diner vibe with chill music playing in the background. We will definitely come back to try more menu items. If you are re thinking about visiting, GO!

    What an incredible spot for brunch / breakfast! Our meal was spectacular. I ordered the chefs special which was fried lobster tails & grits, but my amazing waitress suggested I add shrimp sauce on the side so I could make my own shrimp and grits and have a dipping sauce for fried lobster. It was amazing. We also started with a fresh made cinnamon roll that may be the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had. We visited around 11am on a Wednesday, so no wait to be seated. We had our meal within 15 minutes or so… which was great because we l my wife and I had a flight to catch.

    First thing first...this place has a vibe about it....you have to be ready to hang out in the parking lot while you wait on a weekend with loud music and a beverage truck out front serving mimosas. When we went inside the hostesses were very pleasant and attentive. We sat and got our order in quickly. They didn't bring out waters but had to buy bottled waters....not a big deal but be prepared for it. The food was expected to be heavy being mostly chicken and waffles type food, HOWEVER I was pleasantly surprised how light the biscuits were and the gravy was not thick and "stick to your gut" heavy but light and tasty. The French Toast with peaches with what appeared to be little baby sugar cookies was a perfect ending to my meal. I will definitely return again but try to go during a less busy time.

  • 4/5 Andrae V. 3 years ago on Google
    Don't believe any review that tells you the food is not good. I had the shrimp n grits....delicious...friends ordered the peach cobbler french toast....melts in your mouth and smells scrumptious....plus your food miraculously comes out very quickly...not sure how that happens bcuz when I went it was packed ....and that's also the reason im giving 4 out of 5 stars. .the place was too packed so the owner needs to think about expanding....especially during this pandemic🤷🏿but I highly recommend this spot....great food...good music...great vibes

    I go here just for the peach cobbler French toast it’s amazing but so is everything else from the vibe, service & food. Just reserve ahead of time on Yelp do you don’t have to wait for an hour. It’s really that good and worth it. I’ve even waited 2 before getting hip! Lol 💯🖤

    This place is worth the (wait/cost/shortened lifespan lol) the food is amazing! We got the the crispy fried chicken with waffles. One with just sausage white gravy and the other with Gumbo gravy and shrimp. Not a leftover in sight, this breakfast slaps! While waiting they park a food truck out front offering mimosas and a DJ playing music and hosting games to distract you on the wait. Our server Frankie was awesome, he saw we were new and gave us a rundown and how to customize for the best dish. Highly recommend stopping by when in Atlanta

    Before arriving we called for reservations. We were directed to Yelp to easily and conveniently join their waiting list. It was cool that we could see how many were ahead of us and our anticipated seating time. At the designated check-in time, we walked to the host and were seated right away. Our food was aesthetically pleasurable and the taste did not disappoint. Plates cleared, bellies full, and hearts warmed by the knowledgeable waiter who went above and beyond to fulfill our every request. I tipped 25% to him for his tip on buying anime pins! Kudos to the busy Atlanta Breakfast Club because despite the packed house, we were served in excellence promptly and efficiently. I've already bragged to two co-workers and my friend wants me to bring her next weekend. See you soon, A. B. C.!!!

    Atlanta Breakfast Club is foremost a breakfast eatery with an excellent reputation, it’s located just behind the aquarium, so my plan was grab breakfast then onwards to the aquarium. The Club is a busy busy place, there was people waiting outside but the wait is not too long, the food on offer is freshly made, it’s tasty especially if you go for the special, the portion size is very generous, I didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day, the cinnamon bun was a nice touch. The servers are attentive, friendly and helpful when you maybe overwhelmed by the choices on offer, the tables are cleared whenever someone leaves. The kitchen is open so you can see the breakfast wizards at work, the atmosphere is vibrant and active, if you love what you eat you can buy the sauces and other merchandise to be in the Club

    The best chicken bacon waffle I’ve ever tasted. Simply wow. It comes with an amazing peach cobbler sauce and fresh Georgia peaches, it might sound like an odd combination but it’s a pleasure on the palate. They were super kind with me, I was a tourist with no internet to check the menu and they lent me a phone with the menu on it. The plate arrived in a matter of seconds! I truly recommend to visit this place if you want to taste an innovative southern breakfast, if you go to Atlanta, don’t miss it!!!

    Wife and I stopped by while visiting from New Orleans. The place was busy, but we got seated immediately and the food came put quickly. And it was INCREDIBLE. On top of that, some of the best service I've had. Glancing around, all of the staff seemed to be helpful, polite, and personable. We even got some recs for good coffee shops around us! Definitely worth a stop here.

    We saw the reviews for this place and gave it a try and we were not disappointed. The chicken and waffles are a must have. We also had the breakfast tacos and they were good. I would recommend adding yourself to the waitlist via yelp. We had to wait for a while but it was okay. They had a DJ outside that kept us entertained. The server was very attentive and had a great personality. Definitely a must try place.

    Always delicious. I’ve never been here and not seen people waiting outside. It is worth the wait. They do not offer fountain drinks, juice, or glasses of water; everything is bottled. The food is prepared fairly quickly once you place your order. There is a DJ outside in a bus that serves mimosas and other beverages.

    Fabulous breakfast at this establishment! When you go, I hope you are fortunate enough to have Darius as your server. He was amazingly helpful and answered all of our questions. So kind and welcoming! The food was perfection *chef's kiss* and the staff was all so friendly. We had the peach French toast, breakfast bowl seasonal veggies, gumbo and the Southern breakfast. Thanks to everyone at ABC ❤️

    I decided to check out the Atlanta Breakfast Club at the recommendation of a friend. I walked in around 1pm on a Monday, and the restaurant was definitely winding down. If you don't mind eating breakfast food between 1pm-2pm, you will be able to avoid the wait! I had to wait a few minutes for a table to be cleared, but the restaurant was definitely starting to clear out when I left around 1:45pm. The ambiance is like a casual diner without any frills. I decided to get the peach cobbler french toast ($17.95) since I did not want to chance the chicken being dry for the chicken and waffles. I also got a side order of eggs ($4) and unintentionally ordered water ($4). Overall, the french toast was solid, and I finished the whole thing. I would love to see more peaches and shortbread on the dish because they were so good and added moisture and flavor to the french toast. Ebonee was a great waitress! She explained the specials, did multiple check-backs, and did not make me feel rushed with the check. The only thing was that I wish she told me that the water would be "bottled" water. If tap water is not served/ good to drink, then I would have rather ordered juice if I had to pay for a beverage than bottled water. I enjoyed my experience here and would return for the chicken and waffles the next time I'm in Atlanta!

    Food and staff always amazing! So many different food options that you will need to visit several times to truly appreciate the restaurant. The grits are so good especially when you don’t have to add anything to them! Great as is!!!! I will definitely be returning with some newbies so that they can enjoy this place as well.

    Fun , hip and down right great place to eat and enjoy the sights and sounds. I had the Chicken Biscuit with a shrimp sauce... absolutely amazing. From the greeting until it was time to pay our check Atlanta Breakfast Club didn't disappoint.

    Try the shrimp and grits with eggs over easy (or medium or scrambled). Delish! I wasn't a fan of the juice prices but hey, it's a pandemic; guess that's the cost of "safety".

    Atmosphere is excellent. Incredibly nice staff who seem to really care about how the represent the place. Menu was impressive. I’ll have to come back because there were too many things I wanted to try. The peach cobbler French toast was incredible.

    We waited an hour and a half to get seated but it was worth it. We just hangout at the aquarium until our table was ready. The food was delicious. Our server was awesome.

    I visit this place a lot since I work close by. I like how the service is always excellent and they keep the spot well kept all the time. Prices are fair and they serve sizeable portions.

    Passing through Atlanta and stopped here based on reviews. Food quality was good, peach cobbler pancakes were better than the biscuits and gravy. I withheld 2 stars for 2 main reasons. 1 being that the restaurant is packed and even though some tables are spaced out, many are not and I had 2 separate party’s seated right next to me. Saw several people enter and be seated with no mask, employees not wearing masks properly. If your concerned about covid, don’t dine here. Second reason is bottled drinks. Couldn’t even get free water with my $16 breakfast, had to be bottled water.

    Love it. Everytime we come to Atlanta this is the breakfast spot. Oatmeal is bomb. Grits, shrimp and chicken sausage is on fire.

    1st timer and let me tell you..the food was AMAZING. Service was phenomenal...our server CHILL WILL had an awesome attitude and vibe. Gave great food recommendations and also recommended places to visit while in atlanta. I visited other restaurants during my 5 days in atlanta and none of them came close to exceeding the bar that this place and Chill Will set. Will def come back on my next atlanta trip

  • 3/5 Kristen M. 3 years ago on Google
    Purchased for a party of 4. The food was decent but the service was not personable and our food was not done on time. We were waiting for our time slot to visit the Civil Rights Museum and came in to place an order to go. We were told we had to step outside and place the order online, I decided to hold my online tip to wait until I finished my experience. I placed the order online and was told the order would be ready in 20min. Went in after 20 min and our food wasn’t ready. Told to come back in 5. Came back and food still wasn’t ready. When the hostess finally handed me my food she said “Thank you” but refused to look me in the eye. In this social media world, the personal touch in business is lacking. And the size of the sides for the price was disappointing. In my opinion it wasn’t worth the hype.

  • 5/5 Jesse G. 3 years ago on Google
    Really fun atmosphere, and absolutely fantastic food. I had the peach cobbler French toast, and my husband had the chicken and waffles with the peach sauce. There are no words to describe how amazing the flavor was, it was phenomenal. I highly recommend this place. 😋

  • 4/5 LaTarus H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, try the peach cobbler French toast! I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere, the service was also great. The only reason why I didn’t give my experience 5 stars is because all “cold beverages” are bottled, including water which you have to pay for.

  • 3/5 Jay Q. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was ok but not worth the 2 hour wait. I don't need to go back.

  • 1/5 Amanda T. 3 years ago on Google
    I waited an hour and thirty minutes outside which I was prepared to do... once I was called to the host stand for my table I was told I could not sit until the entire party was here which I was not told upon waiting outside for 1 1/2 hours. I was meeting a friend who got off of work at 11:30a and knowing this and how busy this restaurant is I decided to get here early to ensure we had a table. After expressing this to the manager he still would not make any exceptions but instead lousily apologized for the “miscommunication”. I was also told once the other person got here they wouldn’t know if they had a table for us or not, I would have to wait in line, again. I make it a point to support black businesses but I was highly disappointed. The extremely poor customer service and lack of communication overshadowed the food and the vibe of the restaurant.

    Long wait but food is decent. They have a DJ and food truck ( that offers drinks mimosas or coffee) while you wait. Offer individually packaged silverware and drinks (no refills). Great customer service. No reservations but waiting via Yelp.

  • 5/5 Kayla N. 2 years ago on Google
    Visiting from Kansas City, we stopped at Atlanta Breakfast Club for brunch before our trip to the Aquarium. We had a party of 12 and worried about there being a long wait. We added ourselves to the waitlist on Yelp saying it would be a 40 minute wait, we got seated in less than 15 minutes. We were greeted by our server J with such great energy and enthusiasm, the best service we've had in Atlanta thus far. Being in the service industry, I see the way their team works together and it's amazing. Love supporting local and this place was a crowd favorite. There was something for everyone the menu and everyone had a happy plate. The food came out fast and hot and the amazing service continued throughout. If you're just passing by, definitely stop here! It will not disappoint. Thanks again miss J for the amazing service!

  • 5/5 D 9. 2 years ago on Google
    Of all places for breakfast my buddy and I went to during our trip to Atlanta this was by far the best. The make EVERYTHING from scratch, great service super southern hospitality and directly across the street from the GA Acquarium. The Egg Tacos are so good. Savory, sweet and they soak the tortillas (option of corn or flower) in their french toast batter. Soooo delicious. They also make their own cobbler. Can't say enough stuff. A MUST go to if your anywhere within a 50 mile radius. Worth the trip. Luckily we went during non busy time and had no wait.

  • 5/5 Bader A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was absolutely amazing. This place has an incredible vibe to it and the staff are fantastic. Gwen suggested food from their "secret menu" and I loved it. I am also very appreciative of how accommodating they are for dietary needs. I don't eat pork and they make the gravy out of turkey to keep things safe to eat. I'd have to come back next time I'm here :)

  • 5/5 Sharon K. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was great! We loved the hospitality and service. The staff made a southern girl feel right at home: Marissa, our server was knowledgeable and professional. She also had pictures of the food items on her phone to give us a visual. Her customer service skills are above par. Her genuine smile was the icing on the waffles😊

  • 5/5 Bana H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing! There was barely any wait time, the atmosphere was extremely welcoming and homey, and the staff was incredibly attentive and sweet! Adriel was the sweetest waitress ever! She’s so kind and hospitable, definitely recommend coming here! The food was amazing too, we got chicken and waffles and chicken gravy biscuits

  • 4/5 Regina R. 1 year ago on Google
    It was the staff and service for me. Everyone was very upbeat and friendly, you can tell they enjoy people and their job. The manager was great, very hands on and attentive, she walked around greeting and making sure everyone and everything was going well. The Peach Cobbler French toast was delicious 😋. The Fried Shrimp and Grits was good... I have pretty high expectations for shrimp and grits, and they vary so much depending on where you go, so this isn't a knock to them..... Overall, great vibes and experience, I recommend when you visit the city.

  • 5/5 TAMIKO P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for breakfast. Even if there's a line I suggest waiting. There's always a line. The hostess said it would be 20 to 25 minutes but it was no more than a 10 minute wait. I think the customers are just kind enough to eat and keep it moving. This place is bustling and you can watch everyone on staff making sure this Atlanta icon keeps up with the demand while continuing to provide amazing service and quality food. Bria was an amazing server. Showing us the secret menu blew me away. I always have a hard time choosing because everything on the menu is great so adding more made my choice even more difficult. I finally decided on the Georgia Peach which is what would happen if chicken and waffles and peach cobbler had a beautiful baby! My son opted for the chicken sandwich and was overwhelmed by how much delicious, golden, crispy breast was on it. I think he took some off and saved it for takeout. I also enjoy the coffee here.

  • 5/5 Dan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything we ordered was great and everything we saw on all tables looked good too. Service is top notch and a top priority as evidenced by interaction with every single employee. The atmosphere is lively, with loud music and a full house. Expect a wait throughout the day as this place is busy, but it is worth the wait.

  • 1/5 LaKenya N. 8 months ago on Google
    Salmon Croquette were not good in flavor. They were cold on the inside and a bit warm on the outside. Definitely tasted like imitation crab. The meal did not come with grits like the menu stated. Completely repulsed by the eggs. It was like everything was PLASTIC. The cheese wasn't melted and stiff like Velveeta. Ofcourse, very cold.

  • 5/5 Dylan H. 8 months ago on Google
    The servers here were super friendly and our food was brought out really fast. We got the chicken and waffles and the cinnamon bun and they were generous portions and very tasty. Would recommend if you are in the area and get there before the crowd.

  • 5/5 Maribel L. 9 months ago on Google
    Went in on a Monday morning with a party of 5 and there was not wait! The food came out very fast and it was delicious. I had their famous chicken and waffle, and chefs kiss!! The vibe was chill, the music was very soulful and the server made us feel so welcome he explain the menu so thoroughly. If I’m ever in town ATL breakfast club definitely has my business again!

  • 4/5 Dionne F. 8 months ago on Google
    No gluten free options really. My kid ended up with an egg and a bowl of fruit. My salad was not great but the salmon cake on top was fantastic. Daughter and husband's food was enjoyed but for $102 I don't think it was worth it for a lunch.

  • 4/5 Vanessa S. 7 months ago on Google
    This spot has a great vibe as you walked in! We were a table of 4 and told that is was a 45 minute wait. We waited no longer than 10 minutes. They had a food truck outside selling mimosas and a DJ. Also some tents to sit and wait under to avoid the sun. Once we were called in we sat at our table we were greeted right away. Our waiter had informed us from the get go that there was no split checks. They also take your drink order and food order all together. We looked at our menu for about 5 minutes and was put in. Food service was quick, we waited roughly about 15-20 mins. Keep in mind it was a full house & long wait time too since it was Labor Day. The food was great & had flavor and was all fresh! My only complaint was how each ingredient to your meal was charged separately. My dish came with turkey bacon, scrambled egg with cheese, and dirty gravy. So each thing was an add on. Of course it had the waffle and chicken for the main entree. But I would think it would be all included. Even with the other dishes, they charged for butter like that’s just a bit too much. Which is fine, but never have I seen something like this before. Overall, experience was great, fast & friendly. People in there having a good time with some good southern food.

  • 5/5 Claire W. 7 months ago on Google
    Atlanta Breakfast Club is really something special. The food is fantastic. They have a great selection of southern classics and everything is delicious. The service is incredible. I don’t know how they are choosing and training their staff, but it is unlike any other place I’ve been. The positivity is contagious. I will say the first time we wandered in the first time early on a weekday, so there was no wait. However, when we saw the line on a weekend we had no qualms at all about waiting. It’s that good. Also bonus - the food comes out ridiculously fast! Special thanks to our waiters Alysha and Radio!

  • 5/5 Grecia B. 7 months ago on Google
    BEST BREAKFAST/LUNCH SPOT IN ATLANTA. My boyfriend and I are visiting from Miami and went here on our first day, (and came back the next day since it was so great) let me start by saying the food is amazing!! Delicious, fresh and comes out super quickly!! The service is great too, everyone is so friendly, and nice! Definitely recommend for anyone in the Atlanta area!! P.S: the pictures don’t do the food justice, I had already started eating :)

  • 3/5 Donna J de C. 6 months ago on Google
    The young lady serving was pleasant but very slow, and there was a limited tea selection. We traveled from Florida to get the blueberry tea, which was unavailable, as were most of the other teas. The ambiance and decor were awesome, but the waffle was not what I expected it looked like an ego waffle. We were excited about coming to the shop, but I was a little disappointed.

  • 5/5 Cristina 6 months ago on Google
    Stopped in for brunch before heading to the aquarium and SO happy we did. The breakfast tacos are French toast tortillas and had my mouth watering. Such a unique idea and so flavorful with turkey bacon. My boyfriend had the chicken waffles and enjoyed them. China was our waitress and gave us all our recommendations, she was excellent!

  • 5/5 Liz 6 months ago on Google
    I was visiting Atlanta on a work trip, and my friends wanted to try good southern food. I'm from South Carolina, so I'm pretty picky. This was definitely a good choice to highlight comfort food the area is known for. The grits were nice and creamy- no lumps. The biscuits and cinnamon roll were as fatty and decadent as I was hoping for. Service was friendly, welcoming, and fast. I would definitely recommend this as a quaint, homey brunch place.

  • 5/5 Allison V. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing food! I tried the chicken and waffles with the peach cobbler topping, it’s called “the Georgia peach.” We also got the “dirty bird” which was more savory and also amazing, with the chicken gravy. The staff were so helpful and friendly, and there were good vibes all around. Definitely a must do if you’re looking for a great southern breakfast while in Atlanta!

  • 5/5 Alice 4 months ago on Google
    This is our first time in Atlanta and we found ABC as the most reviewed restaurant on Yelp and decided to give it a shot after our tour at the Fox theater. Shout out to DJ Tabone!! He got great music and my husband and I kept searching the music he was playing. The waiting line was long but definitely worth it. The food is unbelievable. We came here two days in a row and if we could got up on the last day we would go another time. Please check the photos and give it a try, we love ABC and will definitely come again!!

  • 5/5 Chris L. 3 months ago on Google New
    It’s THE American diner experience, not the healthiest but delicious food and a great place to bring friends and family visiting town. Definitely get on the waitlist before your arrival online, we were able to get a seat right when we arrive basically despite the line because of the online waitlist. They seemed pretty short staffed (but who isn’t at the moment) so do treat the service staff with patience please. The food came on time, but the service staff is just handling a many tables at once. The French toast is actually a little dry and tough, I don’t recommend the peach French toast they have, instead the pancakes were so fluffy and good that we ended up putting the peach cobbler topping on it and eating it together. Highly recommend getting the pancakes!

  • 4/5 T R. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great place. The wait can be long especially with them not taking any reservations. If you have the patience this place will not disappoint. The food was hot and the service was pretty good. Every dish was cooked to perfection.

  • 5/5 Benjamin T. 3 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    I don’t think I have ever left a review for a breakfast spot before but this place deserves 5 stars. From the minute I walked in I was greeted with a smile. My waiter was friendly and attentive and suggested the chicken and waffles. Glad I took his advice. It was delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out!
