I have been hitting the top 10 list for a while. I keep coming back to Thumbs Up. Had a friend in from out of town and introduced him to Waffles and chicken. We even went a step further and had it Alton Brown style, with hot sauce and syrup. It was amazing. The wife had the usual 'best French Toast in town.' She was not disappointed. Again, megga Thumbs Up!!!!!!!
- Pros: Food, ambience, great people
- Cons: Need to get in early to avoid the wait.

- Pros: It's ALL Good!

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

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.

Friendly wait staff; great food and eclectic vibe. The French Toast is the best along with the Sassy Scramble.

It's best to come here on a weekday to avoid insane waits. All the food is good, but it would be worth finding out whether they use eggs from cage-free hens. Haven't tried the other locations.
Good cook, good food, let's eat

The food is outstanding the kind that you'll go back for time and time again. I was introduced to the place by a co-worker and I've since taken only my closet friends to savory the goodness of the food. Men are there in all in all shapes, form, and intellect. They all so have a "Thumbs Up" in East Point. Not the same ambiance. I will usual drop by on the Saturdays that I'm in the area (East Point). But, the "Thumbs Up" on Edgewood is the spot. And I love enverything about it that other people are gripping about. The crowd and to wait is just fine with me. It provides a great opportunity for a longer at the (brothers) men.
- Pros: Great food and ambience
- Cons: Parking leaves a lot to be desired

Thumbs Up is a cool diner. They are open M-F 7-3 and S/S 8-4. Be prepared to wait even during the week. They are a cash only establishment. Enjoy the whole wheat biscuits with the house made preserves. They have another location in East Point. Check out the website www.thumbsupdiner.com for more information.

2 hour wait for eggs??

The food here is awesome. The service is good if they know you. BUT, it is not worth the wait. My husband and I have not been able to eat here in over a year because of the crowd, and we live within walking distance. Go ahead and try getting there at 9am or even 8 am, the people will already be pouring out the door waiting. Another downer....if you decide to tough out the 2 hour wait, you will always have to deal with at least one homeless person harassing you.
- Pros: good food
- Cons: long wait, parking, homeless
