OK Cafe

"No worries . . . everything's OK"

  • Breakfast and Weekend Brunch
  • Lunch and Dinner
  • Take Out

The OK Cafe opened its doors in 1987 and so great was the longing for a true Southern restaurant that by the end of the first week it had become an Atlanta phenomenon with crowds standing in line to get in. Today it serves more customers than any other full service restaurant in Georgia.

People come to the OK Cafe for the quality of the food and the sort of menu your grandmother would make for Sunday dinner, if you had a grandma who could cook that is. Mix in an uncle who was a short order cook at the best grill in town, and you've got the family recipes that make the OK Cafe so popular. Add to the family tree an aunt with a sense of fun who created an art-filled environment, and it's easy to see how this ongoing party, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, became the home-away-from-home for so many.

Editorial Review for OK Cafe – by Michael Longshore

The Scene
With its open short-order kitchen, comfortable red-vinyl booths and friendly waitresses in throwback uniforms, this modern diner draws a steady crowd, especially weekend mornings and late at night. Weekdays, it's a fashionable gentlemen's power-breakfast kind of place; late at night, it's a way station for the Buckhead party crowd.

The Food
Expect honest-to-goodness diner food, including burgers and blue-plate specials, as well as Brown Cows, fountain-style malts, homemade potato chips and relentless coffee service. Breakfast offerings and burgers are the main attractions, but it's also good for a midweek meat-and-three comfort-food binge. Hit the takeaway shop next door, which consists of a mini-grocery store and hot items from the restaurant menu, if you're on the go.

All around the ok cafe is unbelievable!!! Whether you order a burger, a giant salad, or one of several home-cooked meals, you will always be happy with your order. Very good shakes and malts also. The service is a plus too, the waitresses are always happy to greet you.

Pros: Great food, shakes and service
