What People Are Saying About Silver Skillet

The Scene – Small and worn, but inevitably busy, this old-school diner is a Midtown morning destination. Likeably Deep South, the small dining room and counter are an early-morning salt lick for politicos, lawyers and local business folks. Outre decorator touches include lime-and-tangerine striping, a one-wall shrine to someone's daughter's horse phase and funny old signs. – – The Food – No place for venti non-fat mocaccinos or tofu scrambles, Silver Skillet is the kind of throwback breakfast spot that features standards like country ham, biscuits and gravy, and…
Breakfast

I ordered the egg platter which came with bacon & grits & I added hotcakes.
The bacon was quite greasy. I tried my husband's sausage which we both agreed was not well seasoned and our eggs were dry.
The grits & coffee were good.
Our final assessment was that our waitress, which was an elderly woman, was a bit pushy and not as attentive to our table. We sat for quite a while waiting for her to ask if we needed out drinks refilled. When I asked to have my syrup heated, she quickly told me, WE DON'T DO THAT" and just walked off.
If a microwave was not accessible, I would have settled for a glass of hot water where I could have placed my syrup packet in the glass just to heat it up a bit. But she didn't try to help with a simple solution to a request.
When she sat our plates down, she came so close to my face, she almost hit me with the plate. She didn't apologize. Maybe she was just zoned out and had no clue. But I sure did.
We will not return but thanks for the experience. We are still searching for great breakfast restaurants in Atlanta. Our quest will continue on.

Great Southern food - breakfast and brunch, in a great 50s style decor restaurant. Egg breakfasts, grits, red eye gravy, biscuits and signature pork chops! Its a really fun place to meet up - and its really close to everything - Georgia Tech, Atlantic Station, Midtown.. - so its really really popular!!
- Pros: The best Southern Breakfast in Atlanta
- Cons: Cant think of any
OH YEA!!!!

Being known as 'king of breakfast' among my friends, they expect me to point them in the right direction.
Let me start by saying The Silver Skillet is ground zero!
This has got to be the most real food I've had in some time. Nothing faddy, nothing put on--no salsa, bean sprouts or tofu here. This is where one goes to get back in touch with their inner self. The good old days when men were men and women were women--The food is outstanding, service fast and friendly and the 50s atmosphere is unique to this 50s diner.
You couldn't reproduce this anywhere else than at The Silver Skillet.
Yet again, I've found the perfect breakfast spot. Hail to the King!!
- Pros: the entire menu and atmosphere
- Cons: can't think of any

If there's a long line, try the smaller dining room next to the main one. You don't get the same ambience, but you do get the same food.
