Hello All,

I will be in Atlanta for business, staying Downtown near Olympic Park, and am looking for recommendations for a great weekend brunch and dinner spot in that area. I am not a fan of chain/corporate places at all. Places with a great menu and a funky vibe usually hit the spot. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

since I was there last.

with that special someone!

For the best breakfast go to the Silver Skillet on 14th-Old school- order the country ham and thank me later..  For later go to- 6 feet under- for the view of the city and good food- they do have killer Bloody Mary's and Shrimp and grits. Can't go wrong with any of the Rathbun group. Have a great time. Cheers

People are gonna get the wrong idea lol. You are a lover, aren't you Mr. Grant lol

Both are local franchises but very good.

Superica at Krog Street Market has a Mexican flavor weekend brunch.  It is a Ford Fry restaurant.

A favorite of mine for brunch is West Egg Cafe.  I agree with the assessment of Rathbun's for dinner (winner with his brother on an episode of Iron Chef).

yes Flying Bisquet is good for casual brunch and tasty!

 
 

u had an enjoyable time

here are my recommendations for brunch places that I believe match your criteria:

- Ria's Bluebird  
- Home Grown
- Carroll St. Cafe
- Flying Biscuit (Candler Park)
- Gato Bizco
- Radial Cafe
- Highland Bakery
- Thumbs Up Diner

As for dinner, I would need to know what makes a "great" menu in your opinion and/or if there is a specific cuisine you are looking for.  

Enjoy!!  We have some great food in this city.  :

Lots of good things to eat but i recommend the Brisket Skillett
