Atlanta Breakfast Club

Wanna know why this perfectly-positioned restaurant draws crowds across the street from the Georgia Aquarium almost every morning? Because, unlike a lot of places marketing their chicken and waffles, ABC understands that people also get hungry on days that don’t start with “S.” Equally impressive is the waitstaff’s efficiency in the simple, spacious dining room and the kitchen’s overall consistency. The gulf shrimp and creamy grits is always a satisfying trip to the bayou. Finishing the four-egg omelet remains a culinary feat. And there will never be a time when ordering a lobster tail or an egg-topped waffle off the secret menu isn’t cool.
