2 hour wait for eggs??

by kokoATL

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

The one on Marietta Street

by ladieswholunch

The new location on Marietta is as good as the original! Everything is good - everything. Don't walk, RUN and enjoy real food made for real people! The menu is varied, interesting and relaiable. Everything we've had there is delicious and fresh. The service is diner perfect. Get going!!

• Pros: It's ALL Good!
• Cons: The crowd? Nah, it's worth it.

Yummy Breakfast

by purplevixen

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

by loveyah

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.

Good cook, good food, let's eat

by Lee57

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

Great Breakfast Spot

by NK501

This establishment offers the best breakfast in town. I would recommend this Diner to everyone. They are the only place that offers spuds (home fries) that taste like the real thing. This is definitely not a Waffle House or IHOP or Cracker Barrel.

Best Brunch in the city!!......if you are a patient person.

by maica

My husband and I love the food in "Thumbs Up". The portions were very generous and the prices very accessible. The problem is that we show up around 10 am and waited until 11:30. Honestly, if you go to the Flying Biscuit (were the food is also great) you know you are going to wait but this took too long. The only reason why we did not leave is thinking how late it was and that it was going to be starting a line someplace else. In the end it was a great meal but next time I'll go at 9 am.

• Pros: Wonderful southern breakfast, cheap prices.
• Cons: A huge wait
