Majestic Diner

07/15/2008 Posted by CbgetwnGrl

The workers are laidback but sometimes lazy (especially when it's not busy, they seem to get caught up in conversation). The food is good and reliable. OPEN 24/7!! It's comparable to waffle house except without the missing teeth and nastiness. I go here often and typically enjoy myself. If I spend 2 hours there getting fired up on coffee because of somewhat slow service, I never seem to be bothered by it. Whatever's good.

Pros: Food, hours, comfort.

Cons: Service, sometimes parking.

People should not be confused. It is not high quality cuisine why you go here. It is the BREAKFAST, served all day everyday. This is the only place where I can find decent corned beef hash and cheese eggs, Yeah its on the cholesterol no no but after the club there is no place else that can give you chic greasy spoon type action. Better than you waffle house not quite an IHOP but it is it's own unique institution. Anyone who has an expectation that vegetables should be al dente' need to step up their game and go to a more upwardly mobile eatery around the corner in the Highlands area. This is not for you. But if you need good food at a good price , and you are on statins GO. It's a landmark and should be celebrated as such.

Pros: Great Breakfast!!!

Cons: Dinner is OK

vegetarians: all of the veggies are severely overcooked. Broccoli doesn't even look green any more, it's just a dark grey mush. Same with the Mac'n'Cheese. I don't think they've ever heard the term al dente. If you like vegetables to be cooked in a crock-pot, then this is your place. The rest of the food may be amazing though, I can't speak for that.

Pros: Nice ambience, cool waiters

Cons: mushy food

Seriously bad Cheddar Cheese Omelette I had there last night...It was basically three eggs folded around five or so slices of cheese, lacking all of the finesse a good omelette requires. I didn't complain because, well, they were open and I wasn't driving anywhere else. Veggie burger is good, vegetable soup is actually vegetarian, and the atmosphere is thick with hipsters and the intoxicated. Oh yeah, the grits are good too...

Pros: Friendly, Always Open

Cons: The Omelette I had SUCKED

I've been visiting the Majestic for over 20 years. It's always been good and fun, but over the past year or so it has become even better. The food is consistently fresh, hot and good. The management is gradually upgrading the place while keeping the old charm. You can't go wrong!

Pros: Excellent food, relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Nothing major.

The Majestic Diner is a great place period. Great food, very fast, and very clean considering it's a diner! I highly recomend it. There Biscuits were decent but I would go for their eggs in the morning. I have not tried it at lunch or dinner but I think il be going soon. Great Place

Pros: Parking, cheap eats, clean

Cons: food is average.

I've lived in Atlanta for over 11 years and have never tried the Majestic till last week. I had always been told it's where the toothless women with big hair worked. A sight I could do without seeing. However, times have changed and this place is the best if you're looking for diner food, friendly staff and an entertaining crowd. I admit I was there at 3 AM and it was packed. There was even a "bouncer(?)" at the door for crowd control. Good diner food, fast and cheap, I love this place for nostalgia and the entertainment factor.

Pros: VALUE, service, food

Majestic Diner takes you to a time when a diner was defined by three things; food, price, and friendly service. Majestic Diner is a shining example of these things, and sets the contemporary bar for what a diner should be like; great food at a very inexpensive price, great atmosphere, and fast, friendly service. There are not many of these classic Mom-and-Pop diners left, but Majestic is the best of the type that I have ever had the priviledge of dining at. The name even has added meaning once one has completed a full meal at this classic restarant located on historic Ponce De Leon Avenue.

Pros: Inexpensive, Location, Atmosphere

Diners are undergoing a resurgence across the country, but the Majestic doesn't need a comeback. It's been there for decades providing simple, low-cost (by local standards), and tasty food. It makes no pretense... this diner is not about nouveau cuisine but the basics. And it does the basic well.

Pros: Food, Ambience, Price

This place is what it is. A diner in Atlanta. God forbid the south learn the ways of eating up north. No nonsense ordering and eating, and your coffee cup is always full! Great eats for the late night crowd. And to contradict the previous guy's poor rating, the 2 of us ate well for $13.
