Omg!!! I had the pancakes with eggs, sausage, and grits, I thought that I was in heaven. The staff was very friendly and attentive. It was my first time there, and I can say I will return!!!

Authentic & delicious food! I'd recommend splitting a few things with a friend to taste a little bit of what they offer. Some faves are the shrimp & grits & buttermilk pancakes w/ caramelized bananas!

It's a good idea to share the banana pancakes with the table since they are so sweet - but Def get them. Burrito is fantastic. The brisket should be listed as a lunch item, good but not breakfast.

The pancakes, bacon and biscuits. The syrup is not on the side for the banana pancakes. It is on the side for the other ways to order pancakes. They do not take AmEx even though the details says so.

These were hands down the best pancakes I've had in my entire life. And I eat a lot of pancakes. The yogurt and service was subpar, but the pancakes completely made up for it. Get the pancakes.

Go splitsies on the Early Bird Special, Shrimp and Grits, and Banana Pancakes. You'll get to taste a bit of everything.
Gabrielle WilliamsMay 29, 2016
Pancakes are bomb! And the eggs..Biscuit..Bacon..Honestly everything here is so good!! 😍 would definitely eat here at least once. I'll be back for sure! I say go before 2, bc they start running out..

Atlanta’s Grant Park area is known for three things: Oakland Cemetery, Zoo Atlanta and good food. Ria’s Bluebird is a staple of the neighborhood, serving up breakfast food from 8am to 3pm. Read more

Love pecan pancakes. Huge portion is plus. I had Sausage patty as a side, and it was better than i expected. Great breakfast spot!

Banana pancakes was delicious, the thing didn't like was waiting more than 30 min then sitting in the patio.

Let's talk about this short stack of pancakes topped with homemade toffee and drizzled with a mocha cream anglaise. Let's talk about how it will change your life. Best special - hands down.

The wait was long & it was raining ☔️ however, 👶,the 🥞 with caramelize banana 🍌 on the side sweet authentic flavor kick to my 🥞. I also loved ❤️ the vegetarian 🌶 tofu 👏🏿!
Maja IngemanFebruary 12, 2019
Get a side of the spicy tofu cubes - they’re shatteringly crisp on the outside and tender in the middle, with bright spice (crank it up with extra hot sauce if you like real heat)
Amol KJanuary 27, 2013
Caramelized banana pancakes, so good!! Also the bionic breakfast with Hotlanta hot sauce.
JulieMay 10, 2015
We haven't been here in a while. Parking is tight, expect a wait, but so worth it! My favs are brisket and the caramelized banana pancakes.
AJCFebruary 27, 2015
Ok, we know everyone (NY Times included), says ‘go for the pancakes!’ but for us, it’s all about the brisket bowl. They slow roast beef for 14 hours and shred it in a spicy broth with a poached egg. Read more
Aaron WroblewskiJanuary 6, 2012
Order the Brisket Breakfast with easy or medium eggs. When it arrives, break the yoke and mix with the brisket sauce. Mop up with the included mini-baguette. You are now ready to do anything.
Gregory CoxMarch 8, 2015
Really enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes and especially liked the skillet potatoes. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Place is small so may not be the best option for large groups.
Mindi WaltersJune 23, 2019
So many good options. Biscuits have great texture. We enjoyed temphe bowl and short stack pancakes with caramelized bananas. Looking forward to another visit. Arrive early for no wait.
Deantre BrockMarch 3, 2019
The special is always the best dish in atlanta on a Sunday morning. Always. The wait time for a table should suck because it is forever but the damn food is so good I cant remember to be upset.
Wanna See It AllSeptember 24, 2012
Small seating area, could be waiting issue. Place has a lot of character, making it very interesting. The french toast with bananas & maple syrup=awesome. Nick had the special cheddar bacon omelette
Kimberly KrautterSeptember 29, 2012
Ria's pancakes are legendary!!! (for food reason). It takes 2 to tango with her full plate flapjacks. But don't miss out on her clever twists on Eggs Benedict. Every weekend brings a haute delight.
Changed NameJune 15, 2014
Great great great food. Sunday morning, 45 minute wait, then 50 minutes to get food to the table (just two of us). Will go again, but I'm glad we didn't being our kids.

Iced coffee and a breakfast burrito al fresco (with a side of house made sausage) = pleasant af
GPNAFebruary 26, 2013
This is a wonderfully quaint little place which serves the best brunch in Atlanta! The Huevos Rancheros are delicious! NY Times even stated they have the best pancakes in the world.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍August 5, 2015
Delicious breakfast! Sausage is homemade and awesome. Pancakes are outstanding! Brisket breakfast is fantastic. Very cool atmosphere. Worth the wait!
Melissa AshleySeptember 23, 2012
Love love love! First time and fell absolutely in love. Very eccentric feel with an amazing lunch menu. Order the Chicken Pesto sandwich. Need to come back and try the breakfast pronto.
Jess BarnettJanuary 9, 2015
Bionic breakfast was amazing, I also tried a bit of my friends breakfast burrito and it was incredible! The orange juice is delicious too. Really friendly waiter 👌
Craig ROctober 18, 2014
All seating, including the bar seating, is wait listed. I still think the pace is worth the wait, just grab a coffee from inside and people watch outside
EaterMay 11, 2016
This overstuffed burrito is filled with two scrambled eggs, skillet potatoes, white cheddar, and black or pinto beans, and it's topped with salsa and sour cream. Read more

So inconvenient but perfect. The parking lot is small, full and horrible. There is a gorgeous patio but little seating. Long waiting list and lots of people. But the food is totally worth it.
Erika L.May 10, 2013
This is the best breakfast I've ever had. The carmalized banana pancakes, and the blue bird burrito are to die for.
Ryan BeezOctober 12, 2016
Grits were like church; heavenly. Breakfast burrito was like a David Lynch movie; dreamy with lots of layers. Bacon was like a comet; out of this world. 👍

Among the best breakfast spots in ATL, the lines can get a little long on the weekends; opt for counter seating.
Lauren GoldsmithJune 11, 2012
Chicken and Brie sandwich was to die for. Get a side of avocado and it's a great addition. Only had a couple of bites but the pancakes were pretty rockin too.
Sana ZaidiMay 18, 2013
Omg- HEAVENLY PANCAKES- try it with caramelizes bananas. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this. Will be back soon.
Tod JaeNovember 3, 2013
The Zucchini+Fontina omelette we so shockingly pleasing... But the pancakes stopped me in my tracks, and I could only describe it as "Wow"

Early Bird Special is my favorite thing to eat in all of Atlanta when it comes to Saturday morning breakfast. Delicious each and every time.
Honghui YuJuly 25, 2018
Best pancakes I’ve ever had. Nothing else you get here could possibly top it.
Steve MinardJanuary 28, 2012
EVERYTHING here is ridiculously good. Caramelized banana pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bionic breakfast with Sriracha. Even the tattooed waitress who like my Minor Threat shirt. Cool vibe!
Tonya FigueroaMay 11, 2014
Greeted rudely. Patio was nice, server great. Love the brisket breakfast! Traditional biscuits & gravy rock. Long wait not always worth it.
Bonnie LyleMarch 3, 2017
Great for vegans with meat eating friends. Maybe you could get them to try a bite of cruelty free food! 😊
TravelagentDecember 27, 2018
It’s a really good restaurant for your breakfast. Plan some waiting time! Friendly staff and so delicious food!!!
David CAugust 1, 2016
The brisket bowl with eggs over medium is an amazing breakfast. It would make a great hangover cure.
Caroline SchmittJune 4, 2019
The pancakes are fantastic, of course, but so is the Bionic Breakfast - a perfect hangover cure.

Not only is the waitress behind the bar cute as a button, she's also an excellent waitress! (The one with the sleeve tattoo)
Truth KnowledgeAugust 1, 2013
Try the shrimp and grits, so delicious! Have to make it back to try their fresh warm biscuits and sweet potato cake.
Nikki TaylorApril 9, 2017
I finally tried something different! This was the bionic breakfast and it was soooo delicious!
ReganJuly 29, 2017
These pecan banana pancakes are well worth the hype! Tempah & Tofu scramble are delicious veggie options.
Sahar GolabiJuly 16, 2023
Pancakes & biscuits are good. Wait is insane though and we got there when they opened. I got the chicken fried tempeh and it was gross. The tempeh needed to be seasoned better and the kale was bitter.
