One of my absolute favorite breakfast places! Everything is great here. I especially love their Fried Green Tomatoes. Their pancakes are also REALLY good. You can't go wrong with anything. It's a great southern home town cooking and a great southern home town feel. They don't accept reservations and their is ALWAYS a wait but it's SO worth it! I would suggest getting there early to make sure you get on the list quickly and so they don't run out of anything. The staff is AMAZING always pleasant and eager to help. If you haven't been definitely add it to the top of your list.

One of the best restaurants in the Inman/Krog Street market area!!! Usually packed full you will want to make reservations, but there are two of you sitting at the bar can be a lot of fun. The lighting is low with some hip hop jams playing overhead. Their food is ridiculous! Like Italian and Asian fusion with a funky southern twist. I recommend the the 20 egg yolk tagliatelle. It's light with a buttery sauce and full of fun ingredients like kimchi and wild mushrooms. Guaranteed and all around great experience

At the heart of Ponce City Market, the Central Food Hall is becoming the most vibrant food hall and market in the Southeast. James Beard Award-winning chefs the likes of Anne Quatrano, Linton Hopkins, and Sean Brock join Atlanta’s most exciting young purveyors and restauranteurs to offer everything from Georgia and Carolinas-caught seafood, to classic burgers, cold-pressed juice, and locally-made kimchee and Korean steamed buns. Similar to the legendary food hall at Chelsea Market in Manhattan—also owned by the developers of Ponce City Market—the Central Food Hall is a culinary gathering place within a revamped historic space, but with the distinct character and flavors of Atlanta.

It used to be hard to do, unless you got to the bar in time to hear the 10pm bullhorn and order one of only 24 made for the night. But thanks to popular demand, they started making 72 for weekend brunch, and now they’ve added it to the regular menu. Give that thing your teeth’s most jagged edges before you croak.
