    This is a very popular diner in the Old Fourth Ward. It's a great breakfast place that serves fried catfish and grits, shrimp and grits, among other southern cuisine. It's cash only establishment.

    Yes, this is one of the few places left that will honor your American pesos...the food and service is definitely worth it. Favorite: Kav's omelette, coffee, water, multigrain biscuit.

    The French toast is ginormous and tasty. You may only need one slice. The omelettes are quite tasty too.

    Extra vanilla? A little nutmeg; some cinnamon, maybe? Whatever is in the "special recipe" batter makes these plate-sized pancakes among the best in #Atlanta.

    Finally, a brunch place that doesn't charge ten dollars for scrambled eggs and toast. The whole menu is great with great prices to boot!!!
