Best hangover breakfast
Waffle House is your pick for the best hangover breakfast. After all, they're slinging those hash browns 24/7 and there seems to be one on every corner.
YOUR PICKS
1) Waffle House
You say, “It’s a combination of greasy food, cheap eats, close proximity to whereever I crashed and lack of required dress attire. … I swear, there’s a Waffle House every other intersection in the South, so there’s always one close by.”

OUR PICKS
Food and beverage writer Bob Townsend says, “As a hangover cure, the traditional Irish breakfast — a groaning mass of eggs, Irish sausages and bacon, black pudding, white pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and bread — has its own decadent appeal. That’s particularly true when it’s served up with a pint. At Fado, all that can be had day or night.”

You know…..this really is a pretty lame, juvenile and unappetizing topic….Who over the age of 23 or so would want to discuss a “hangover breakfast”?

Waffle House. Most of the other places mentioned aren’t open at 3:00AM when you need them! Waffle Houses are everywhere, and nobody is gonna bug you because you’re a little bleary eyed.

Leave it to Atlanta to turn a food blog, to discussing drinking, driving, and accidents. All of you are hippocrits. You get drunk on Saturday, then pray and worship on Sunday. Then pass judgement on everyone else the rest of the week. IHOP~ Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity

How did it take so long for Ria’s to get a mention? Mary Mac’s needs to be in the conversation too, along with Murphy’s, J Chris and Marietta Diner.

I am 27 and this is the best blog to date. The older I get, the worse my hangovers.
Waffle House is always clutch. A grand slam (4 healthy shots) at Arden’s Garden and then a day of laying on the couch is my usual routine.

The Blue Ribbion Grill has the best breakfast/brunch menu on saturdays with serious specials on bloodies, screwdrivers and mimosas

I absolutely need grease after a long night of partying and drinking, so Waffle House is the place for that! But if I’m downtown I always hit up Gladys Knights Chicken & Waffles. The Midnight Train (4 fried chicken wings, a large waffle, and small orange slice) is soooooo good!

This is an easy one! If you go to an authentic , Mexican restaurant , order Menudo, and your hangover will be gone! Period.

Quick Trip(QT) has good refrigerated burritos and their BIG BOMB will fix you right up. Microwave it and enjoy plus it’s only about 600 calories! DOH!
Wash it down with cold milk…milk and burritos (or a greasy burger) is the best hangover prescription!

Thumbs Up Diner by far! The Flying Biscuit tastes good, but it makes the hangover poops even worse.

If you really have a hangover, then you want some place where 1) They keep your coffee cup filled 2) There isn’t excessive noise and 3) There are no bright lights. That would spell Manuel’s Tavern for me!

If you don’t have a hang over….cause you were smart enough to drink water before bed……. I love the Jazz, the Bloody Mary bar and delicious “Healthy” food you can eat at either Front Page News…

Manuel’s to “fight a cold.”
Vickery’s (bottomless mimosas!) to “feed a fever.”

Man, this post makes me miss the old Drunk N DIne, I mean Dunk N Dine. Was the BEST place for nursing a hangover or sobering up. And the wait staff couldn’t be beat.

Waffle House All-Star with a double hash browns usually does the trick

Murphy’s or Rosebud fosho. But that’s only if you enjoy eating actual food rather than food substitutes.

Steak and eggs at Waffle House or ribeye steak sandwich from Martins. It’ll cure what ails (or ales) you! And there’s always one or the other near.

Highland Tap. The specials are always great and the brunch staples like the crab benidict are great. They have wonderful service; the bar is the best place to start your recovery process.

Has anyone said Treehouse yet? Huevos Rancheros are incredible and every hung over bar-star from the night before seems to congregate there. Makes for great people watching…not to mention its dog-friendly

I’m sad for the individuals who are so lacking a sense of perspective that they react to a casual discussion about hangover remedies. As we get older, the game we talk is usually better than the game we play, but many of us will stay out a bit late and have a bit too much to eat/drink. (And, no, we don’t all club hop in Buckhead and weave our way home drunk. ) Sunday morning comfort food is a critical discussion topic.
DUI accidents are serious business and need to be treated accordingly, but trying to squeeze the all of the fun out of life will continue to cost you credibility.

Although I’ve never had Meehan’s breakfast, they also serve the pictured dish at RiRa in midtown and it is amazing! Enough to share. Another Broken Egg in Destin is awesome, too “Dawg”!
