Editorial Review for Thumbs Up Diner – by Michael Longshore

The Scene
Located in an industrial patch of Edgewood Avenue between Inman Park and downtown, this friendly modern diner mixes urban hipness with fast-moving, no-nonsense coffee shop charm. Inside, you'll find Formica tabletops, red vinyl booths and local photographs. An unusual hybrid crowd drawn mainly from nearby lofts lines up patiently on weekends; workday mornings are for first-name-basis regulars and chummy cops.

The Food
This urban diner offers a funky mix of updated breakfast dishes and reliable sandwiches, burgers and quesadillas. It's best known for breakfast, though, and hefty whole-wheat biscuits and challah French toast (served with real maple syrup) are specialties, as are one-skillet concoctions of potatoes, eggs and cheese. Excellent scrambled tofu, Belgian waffles and build-your-own omelettes are also worth a try. Coffee comes in big cups, generally with a smile.
