What People Are Saying About Majestic Diner

In Short – 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. The dining room features a long narrow counter and small, comfortable booths. Service is always no-nonsense. This 24-hour diner features Southern-style short-order cooking, as well as traditional diner grub, sandwiches and icebox pies. Breakfast food and burgers are the…

Great food, but HORRID service the last time I went.

by Elodie at Citysearch

The food that me and my friends had at the Majestic on Sunday 11/23 was GREAT... but the waitress was probably the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. Not only did she get my order wrong, she got my friend's order wrong, as well, and was never at the table long enough for us to say anything. She was short to the point of rudeness, threw silverware into the server station in what appeared to be a temper tantrum, and also LOST our to-go order. We watched another waitress TELL her about it, and she seemed to just not care. Thankfully, we weren't charged for the to go, but it meant I had to go to another diner later to get a burger for my friend.

When she brought our checks (we didn't ask, and we were actually discussing milkshakes when she slapped down the check before we could tell her we wanted separate checks) she accused us of leaving before paying, as well- when I thought I had to pay up front, as I had in the past. No big deal- but she was snotty about that ("Just because I said have a good night, it doesn't mean you're done, you have to PAY me.") and had another snit about us splitting the check. As if they didn't do that- I've been there numerous times and people have done separate checks before- of course, they usually let us tell them that before the check is brought.

Just the WORST service, ever. We didn't tip. I've never done that before, and I work in the restaurant business, myself.... but I just was not about to leave such a miserable excuse for a server any money.

I don't even think I'll be back, even though the food is great and the other servers have always at least been nice.

  • Pros: Food
  • Cons: Service- snotty waitress.

Best Breakfast in Atlanta

by AlexManning at Citysearch

We've been going to Majestic Diner for years and love everything about it. Their breakfast, simply put, is awesome. They have a gyro omelette that is outstanding, their burgers are also a stand out, and their milkshakes are the best. If you are looking for good, down to earth food in an unpretentious atmosphere, Majestic Diner is your place.

  • Pros: Breakfast, Customer Service

Atlanta Landmark & Rite of Passage

by gregtreadway at Citysearch

Until you have had a late night and ended up at the Majestic you shouldn't call yourself an Atlantan. This diner is the place to be in the wee hours of latenighters of Friday and Saturday. It is also a wonderful breakfast stop on Saturdays and Sundays. Having said that, I have eaten at the Majestic at all times of the day and night and I've always left with a full belly and happy smile. The wait staff is excellent and capable of handling any situation because they already have. They make you feel right at home and their food is excellent. Everyone that comes to Atlanta or lives here should have a meal at the Majestic. A+++
