The one on Marietta Street

by ladieswholunch

The new location on Marietta is as good as the original! Everything is good - everything. Don't walk, RUN and enjoy real food made for real people! The menu is varied, interesting and relaiable. Everything we've had there is delicious and fresh. The service is diner perfect. Get going!!

• Pros: It's ALL Good!
• Cons: The crowd? Nah, it's worth it.

Yummy Breakfast

by purplevixen

Everytime I come to Atlanta I go to the Thumbs Up...was introduced to it by a local a couple of year's ago...and I'm never disappointed. Yes, as others say, you will wait for a table on the weekends if you arrive after 10am, but the food is well worth the wait. The biscuits are fluffy and wholesome-wheat biscuits, mind you, and the other selections on the menu are awesome. The catfish is amazing, as is the steak and egg combo...the french toast is HUGE and satisfying...and there are many offerings for the veggie's in any group. I like to go during the week, when the crowds are smaller, and sit at the counter to chat with the locals. The coffee will keep you wired for the day. Only two complaints...the parking is dodgy...and there are too many good things on the menu to make an easy decision.

• Pros: great menu selection, fab biscuits, catfish, steak and eggs and REAL homefries
• Cons: bad parking, long lines on weekends

Bad Customer Service

by loveyah

The location on Marrietta Street. The front house manager has a really bad attitude. You will not be satisfied with the service there. the food is alright but the service is horrible. When you place a phone in call she put you on hold for about 15 mins and when you get there she tell you that she forgot. When you go there and sit down her amount of food serving that you recieves changing from time to time and she tell you to just deal with it. She is very ugly to the public and even rude to her staff.
