Description:
GRANT PARK. If you plan to have weekend brunch at Ria's, plan to come early, because crowds quickly gather, and the tiny place takes some time to turn over. It's in your best interest to hold out, though, because the homemade food is to die for. Breakfast served all day is the real attraction, whether you choose the omelet of the day, lush caramelized banana pancakes, huevos rancheros, or even the unusual but delicious brisket breakfast. An array of vegetarian and vegan options are available, and although the funky little place has a groovy vibe, it's as comfortable for your hipster nephew as for your church-going grandma. At lunch, find gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, and a few hot entrees.

Description:
SWEET AUBURN. One of the best lunch deals on the east side of Downtown, this converted gas station is convenient to top sights and attractions like Ebenezer Baptist Church, the High Museum of Art and the MLK National Historic Site. In a few years, Rolling Bones may find itself an attraction in its own right, thanks to its delicious Texas-style mesquite barbecue. Combo plates featuring beef brisket, pork ribs or hot links never miss the mark, and homestyle side dishes such as mustard greens, Texas toast and potato salad are always solid complements.

Description:
INMAN PARK. Hidden away in Atlanta's Inman Park, this quirky diner attracts weekend breakfast crowds from all over Atlanta with homemade pancakes and biscuits and jellies, which pose tough alternatives to equally tasty scrambles and three-egg omelets. If you're a late-riser, don't fret – they serve breakfast throughout the day, and lunchtime offerings are also superbly done. Infinitely casual, Thumbs Up has the look and attitude of a neighborhood diner and is the kind of place a person can get hooked on. Judging by the number of patrons who deem themselves "regulars," many folks have developed addictions.

WESTSIDE. Sibling of Midtown's ever-popular Sundown Café, Taqueria del Sol serves quick and easy Southwestern food that is so good you'll be convinced the cashier under-charged you. Made-to-order fare is prepared right at the counter, and you can have your taco stuffed with tasty ingredients like chopped smoked pork, tilapia rolled in corn masa, or chicken breast with lime jalapeño mayonnaise. Heartier appetites can go for one or two beef brisket enchiladas and, perhaps, a side of Mexican rice, turnip greens or jalapeño coleslaw.
