City's Best

573 Edgewood Ave SE
Atlanta, GA 30312

A modern twist on the classic diner formula, the Thumbs Up Diner appeals to urban hipsters and SUV-driving nuclear families alike with a funky but clean style. Exposed brick walls match the warm, ruddy color of the booths and floor tiles, and the tasteful decor is free of kitsch and clutter. And like any good diner, a homey atmosphere extends to the waitstaff, who are always eager to top off your massive coffee cup with a smile.

The menu appeals to both health-conscious and more fat-friendly diners. Pancakes are big enough to require their own plate, and the build-your-own-omelette option will yield a good -- but gargantuan -- result. Lunch items include quesadillas, salads, burgers and sandwiches. Some days trivia questions posted on the restaurant's board will yield free candy as the prize for correct answers. -- Bret Love

    The french toast is huge and the best you will ever taste and the service is great but the omelette is crowning jewel of thumps up. Even with the build your own option, the combination that they have are un comparable and delicious. Don't forget to try the salad!!!

    I had never been to this restaurant and took a friend one morning. It was outstanding. You must try the french toast. Huge. It was fast and great service. I ate at the one in East Point which is walking distance from my house. I would recommend this to anyone!

    Warm, Outstanding, Welcoming is Thumbs Up! Just in case you didn't know they have 2 locations one on Edgewood and the other one is located in East Point off of Main St. My husband and I go 2 breakfast every weekend and this is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Another place to try is Original House of Pancakes located in Decatur off of Memorial Drive they have THE BEST PANCAKES. I live downtown(Atlanta), but I make the drive for those mouth watering, light, fluffy pancakes. MUST TRY IT!

    Ok, so you may have to wait a few minutes to get in but that just adds to it's appeal as a trend-setting attraction. It gives you time to read the paper and watch the locals chit chat. I'm from Miami and I never visit Atlanta without stopping by Thumbs Up. If Mom's not cooking it--get in that SUV and get on over. Lou and Liz rock!!
