Eats and Drinks
-
Waffle House
Read Reviews4065 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30319 (map)
The late-night choice for the suburbs, the awful waffle is one of the south's premier truck-stop/high school/after-concert destinations. Getting hash brows scattered, smothered and covered, plus a cherry or vanilla coke (using real old-school syrup) will make you a believer in no time.

Au Pied de Cochon
Read Reviews3315 Peachtree Rd, Atlanta, GA 30326 (map)
Lodged in the internationally-driven Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead, this French brasserie is not your typical late-night diner fare. For those business travelers who stumble in after too many delays or the Buckhead Betty looking for something sophisticated after a night of drinking, this is night-owl dining, fancy-style.

Eighty Eight Tofu House
Read Reviews5490 Buford Hwy NE, Doraville, GA 30340 (map)
Sort of like a Korean Waffle House off Buford Highway, this is where the cool cultured kids go for late night noshing. A bit of a drive from the city, those looking to chow on kimchi or grill-it-yourself meats, this is a great late-night alternative.

R. Thomas Deluxe Grill
Read Reviews1812 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309 (map)
Sobu's eclectic and vegan-friendly R Thomas Deluxe Grill does crunchy new-age dishes alongside your standard breakfast and burgers. While most all-hour staples secure their fanbase with greasy-goodness, R Thomas reels them in with the rare healthy-but-good calling. Bonus points for the colorful decor and the entertaining live birds.
-
Taco Cabana
Read Reviews1895 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 (map)
Taco Cabana is not exactly winning any awards for their Americanized Tex-Mex fare. However in the foggy light of the wee hours of the morning, cheap tacos, chips and margaritas make this place look like a million bucks. Plus what better way to start your day than with queso in the am?
-
Majestic Diner
Read Reviews1031 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 (map)
Oozing local-landmark status with its temperamental neon and Hopper-esque plate-glass window, this Ponce de Leon fixture is home to the roving human circus that keeps Ponce just ahead of the gentrification curve. It's also a favorite late-night sobering up stop for the young, hard-partying Highlands crowd with their traditional diner grub.
-
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Read Reviews295 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 (map)
The large illuminating "Hot Now" guides drunken bar-goers like a tractor beam off Ponce. When this is sign is lit up, it means hot donuts are coming off that smell-o-rific conveyor belt. And if you thought these bad boys were good in the morning, they send you to the moon in the afterhours
More Spots for Night Owls

Midtown Bowl
Read Reviews1936 Piedmont Cir NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 (map)
Low prices, super-late hours and a retro lounge make this an ideal spot to park it deep in the night. The magic combo of entainment, food and booze usually wins the later it gets.
-
Cafe Intermezzo
Read Reviews1845 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 (map)
This Buckhead night-spot gets busier as the night goes on, so don't be surprised if there is a wait at midnight or later. The desserts are alluring at all hours, especially for a late-night treat. (Note: the bistro does close around 3am-4am.)
-
Fedex Office
Read Reviews1375 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 (map)
We aren't suggesting you get loaded and try and find mischief at the ol' office staple, FedEx Kinkos, but those in a late-night office bind have this 24-hour copy, print and shipping spot to turn to.
