The Scene
Colorful and cramped, this funky new-age diner is an eye-candy oasis along a perpetually snarled section of Peachtree. A comfortable all-weather patio--humid as a conservatory, but with plenty of fans--serves as the main dining area. It's decked out with windmills, lawn ornaments, putt-putt golf statuary and all sorts of plants. Service can be quirky, but is always friendly.
The Food
This modern all-hours diner offers fresh-squeezed juices, kefir, organic grains and sprouts, burgers, omelettes and a BLT. Also look for pasta dishes, stuffed potatoes, wings, and killer bloody marys made with sake. Breakfast dishes, quesadillas and sandwiches are where the kitchen shines. Though popular for lunch and weekend brunch, R. Thomas really comes alive after 11pm.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in the ATL. So convenient and well located. Cesar is the best, thanks for the coupons, I still have some. Not sure about the animals and the condition the are though.

It had been a while since I had visited R. Thomas. I was embarrassed when I recommended it for lunch with some co-workers. First, $20 for lunch isn't reasonable when healthy food isn't as hard to get as it used to be, not to mention economic conditions. Secondly, the portions were minuscule -- ordered chips and salsa "crumbs n red stuff" and my salad might have had 3 leaves of lettuce (the saucer it was served on couldn't make it appear any larger). Finally, the food wasn't that tasty. My smoothie tasted watered down when compared to Arden's Garden and it was more expensive. There just isn't an excuse for R. Thomas when there are other options. They need to adjust or they'll meet the fate of their neighbors.

Basically an old hippie restaurant, R Thomas Deluxe Grill has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. It has a great atmosphere, the building is cool, and it's almost like entertainment to watch the variety of people that enter and leave. I started going around when I became fully vegetarian two years ago, and am now vegan. I've consistently been able to bring family and friends who weren't as meat-unfriendly as I and seen them leave happy and full. There are really only a few places around you can get raw cashew nut cheese or cultured veggies and raw root vegetable salad, with a big smoothie of pear juice mixed with mango, dates, local organic bee pollen, and honey. How amazing does that sound?! Well, they have 30 juices and smoothies to choose from, and even just stopping in to get one is worth it, on a late night or whenever. Did you know it's open 23 or so hours a day? However, recently R Thomas has reduced its portions AND raised its prices. This is coming straight from a person who works there. The quality has gone downhill somewhat in the last months, as well. Note, they have a few servers that are very experienced and have been there a long time. Don't be surprised by apathy. The kind of people that come into a 24-hour restaurant in the middle of Atlanta make life difficult for these people. Tip well, they deserve it, whether you know it or not. And the parking lot is terrible. At least they have plenty of it, though. All that said, I'm planning on going this afternoon. It's still great, unique food and worth the traffic you'll endure on Peachtree.
