Where can you get the best breakfast in and around Atlanta?

We have our winners, and no one should be surprised that a local institution came out at the top of your list.
Atlantans just can’t get enough Waffle House. Though it has scattered to 25 states, and now covers most of the lower half of the U.S. from Delaware to Arizona, it began in Avondale Estates. Even when we’re away from Atlanta, we can still get a taste of home. Take a look at the rest of your picks for the best place to get breakfast in and around Atlanta.
Our dining critic, Meridith Ford Goldman, agreed with readers on three out of their five top picks, among them is the one that she puts at No. 1. Ria’s Bluebird is a place that combines some unusual breakfast items — such as the surprisingly yummy country-fried tempeh with biscuits and gravy — with many of the traditional favorites. Ria’s Bluebird has become a favorite for both its Grant Park and Cabbagetown neighbors and folks from all over town. Check out the rest of our picks for the best place to grab breakfast in and around Atlanta.

Flying Biscuit is overdone unless you are in Candler Park. For the best, hit Sun in My Belly. French Toast is the best!

The West Egg Cafe on Howell Mill d. (@ 14th Street) in West Midtown…great coffee (bottomless), french toast, pancakes, bacon, eggs and more! They have a great atmosphere, they’re not a “chain”, not to mention they have some of the best pimiento cheese I’ve ever had! Yum!!!
