Best Diners in East Cobb

"Promising artful eats for simple folk, the Folk Art Restaurant is an all-day diner-style joint that dishes up some of the finest versions of Atlanta’s favorite breakfasts. From the classic chicken and waffles to the huge biscuits serve with house-made jellies or sausage gravy, it’s no surprise that locals just keep coming back for more. Although the restaurant does offer lunch and dinner offerings, it’s the breakfast menu that really blows the minds of all those who come to visit."

"The original Inman Park location is sure to present people with a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it. Folk Art has earned a reputation for having some of the best brunch fare in Atlanta since opening in 2013. Having opened a second location in Decatur in the former Thumbs Up space, Folk Art continues to pull in throngs of patrons there, too."

"Folk Art is the sister restaurant to the upscale Wisteria restaurant in Inman Park. Folk Art is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or brunch. There are all-day breakfast menu items served such as biscuits with sausage gravy, Benedicts, and chicken and waffles."

"Thomas’ in Atlanta, and there wasn’t anyone quite like the man who built the popular 24-hour breakfast spot on Peachtree Street (RIP Sir Richard.) After more than 30 years, Thomas’s legacy is still a restaurant filled with quirky decor, his beloved birds, and a menu of healthy breakfast and brunch fare."

"R. Thomas has been a Buckhead institution for over 30 years. Breakfast is a star, here, and good news: you can get it 24/7. Veg-heads will be delighted by the offerings as well, including a breakfast menu that is pretty typical for a diner, with items like omelettes and eggs Benedict available."

"You can still get peanut butter chocolate pie or a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, along with veggie dinners and juices."

"The Silver Skillet Restaurant, located on Atlanta's west side near Atlantic Station, is frequently cited by food shows as a must-stop spot in Atlanta. Around since the 1950s, the Silver Skillet Restaurant isn't the prettiest of places (it feels authentically like you've traveled back in time), but it is famous for its breakfasts and Southern diner dishes. Stop in for the biscuits and some red-eye gravy."

"Located on the corner of 14th Street, The Silver Skillet has been dishing up mouthwatering Southern cooking since 1956!. What’s equally as remarkable as its delicious food is that The Silver Skillet still looks and feels like it’s in the ‘50s. The period atmosphere of the restaurant has landed it in several movies and televisions series, such as Taken 3, Anchorman 2, and more."

"In business since 1956, The Silver Skillet serves a classic Southern breakfast with exactly zero frills. The restaurant serves as a frequent stop for nearby college students, Midtown office dwellers and hotel guests, and construction workers regardless of the day of the week."

"A small neighbourhood diner old style with large portions, great flavors, good prices and excellent and friendly service. I will defenitelly come…"

"In the eastern suburb of Decatur, about 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, the Waffle House Museum preserves the original location of the 24-hour, breakfast-all-day chain that now boasts more than 2,000 locations from coast to coast. The arrow on the bumblebee-colored signature sign points you to the restored restaurant and memorabilia-packed museum. See the chain’s original menus, place settings, uniforms, and more."

"Waffle Houses are a common sight in the United States and you can visit the original restaurant. At the small Waffle House Museum, you can step back in time and look through past uniforms, dishes from different decades, and a collection of menus. It’s a kitschy little spot, but many people have a special place for the Waffle House chain and might love stopping at this little museum that pays homage."

This specific diner holds a special place in my heart, and it's not just because of the amount of neon lights strung along the walls. Not only do they serve grade-A diner food 24/7, but every day they have late night karaoke."

"Metro Cafe Diner opened in downtown Atlanta’s Peachtree Center in 2006. This is where to head for all-day breakfast fare, wings, classic burgers, and even baby back ribs and platters of spaghetti. There’s a live DJ and karaoke every night beginning at 8 p.m."

"An indisputable Atlanta icon since 1955, Waffle House traces its roots to a modest storefront in Avondale Estates that is now the Waffle House Museum. Road trip fuel or recovery aid, every Waffle House but the outpost in Turner Field is open 24 hours a day to satisfy that craving for hashbrowns, cheese n’ eggs, or waffles."

"There’s not much more one can say about the classic, Atlanta-based breakfast chain. Atlantan’s know where to head for 24/7 smothered, covered, and scattered hash browns, waffles, and coffee with some serious people-watching, especially into the wee hours of the morning."

"An Atlanta pancake and waffle map couldn’t exist without the inclusion of breakfast (and late night) institution Waffle house. Don’t skip the pecan waffle, though there’s really no wrong order at this Atlanta staple."

"Folk art, retro-dressed wait staff, and solid comfort food make this a neighborhood standby. The family recipes don’t hurt. It’s hard not to find something on their expansive list of breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner options."

"Bua Thai offers an extensive menu of Thai food, sushi rolls, and a full liquor bar. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with green tea-colored walls, fresh flavors, vibrant artwork, and swanky light fixtures. Enjoy modern renditions of Asian entrées from maki and tempura rolls, seafood, spicy dishes, and jasmine rice."

"Bangkok Thai Restaurant is a good choice in Virginia Highland. The restaurant has a large menu with cheaper prices at lunchtime. Drunken noodles often taste pretty similar from place to place."

"Located on railroad tracks, situated in an old train car, and featuring three different rooms for Chinese, Sushi, and Hibachi, this Vinings staple is loco for kids interested in locomotives. Featuring all the traditional dishes you'd expect, try the hibachi for a little dinnertime entertainment (that doesn't involve an iPad). 2921 Paces Ferry RoadVinings770-438-9090Online: orientexpressatl.com"

"White Windmill is a Korean bakery with locations in both Doraville and Duluth. The bakery offers an impressive array of treats, including flavored coffee and tea lattes, breads, and French and Asian pastries. Try not to over indulge in all of the samples here."

Not your typical gourmet bakery, Cinnaholic makes their specialty cinnamon rolls fresh daily with a variety of frostings and toppings and more than 20 one-of-a-kind flavors. They serve brownies, baked cookies, edible cookie doughs, and handmade cinnamon rolls 100% vegan and free of dairy, eggs, lactose, and cholesterol."

"The fact that this spot is vegan is the last thing on our mind with rolls as delicious as they are!. Cinnaholic’s over-the-top cinnamon rolls are a plant-based cheat meal we’re always craving. Order one up plain, or add decadent toppings like chocolate frosting, cookie dough, chocolate chips, and more for your own cinnamon roll creation."

"It’s rare that dessert is our favorite meal of the day, especially when there are buffalo wings involved. We’ve been meaning to stop into a Cinnaholic for awhile, but just never got around to it. They are a chain restaurant and are located all over the country, which is dangerous because they’re so good!"

Though it may be hard to navigate their extensive menu when you haven't slept in over 24 hours, you can never go wrong with their Mongolian beef."
