    The food at homegrown was exactly what I needed in the early hours of my roadtrip. This spot came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. We came in on a Friday morning and were quickly seated. The restaurant is quirky and the walls are covered in local art for purchase. The biscuits were pillowy soft and buttery. The potatoes were well seasoned. The pancake, or "table cake" as our waitress referred to it, was twice the size of my face and delicious! I honestly think one meal can be split between two with how larger the portions are. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area!

    The food here was incredible. We were blown away with it all. We absolutely loved that you could pour your own coffee as you are waiting for your table. That make it much more enjoyable! The ambiance was quirky and perfect for a southern diner! Service was great and we had a wonderful time! Only knock was a 30ish minute wait for our table!

    French toast and biscoff latte
    Dawn J.

    Its super hard to get into this place especially on the weekends because its so very popular but I got lucky and secured a spot at the bar. Everything was superb! French toast cooked to perfection and I love the flavor of the chicken sausage. And I cant come here and not get a biscoff caramel latte...if you haven't tried it...you must! I saw the sky open up and the rest of my day was made well! This place is super busy but the staff does a great job of making sure you're taken care of, you'll have multiple people checking in on you.

    Comfy chicken and salmon cake
    Kevin W.

    This place is consistently a 4 star. I really like the vibe of this place. It is always a pleasure to eat at a venue where the people came for the food and no frills. I ordered the comfy chicken with a salmon patty and french toast. Weird combination but I wanted to try many items. The French toast was really good and simple. The salmon patty is good value but more breading than I expected. The comfy chicken seemed to be more breading than last time but the gravy had more sausage this time. No complaints.

    Th comfy biscuit! Just Damn

    Wonderful local spot. Of course as mentioned by others, the comfy biscuit is a go to item. Large portion and I probably don't want to know the calorie, fat and carb count but it will make your eyes roll back in your head. Large cat head biscuit

    Basic breakfast

    I heard great things about the place from the locals. Inside is very casual and feels like a local diner. There is so much artwork on the walls which I definitely appreciated. The service was great and the staff gave many recommendations. I had the Basic Breakfast so I could try a couple of different things (and I love a no fuss breakfast). I subbed the grits for home fries and added a chocolate chip pancake. The bacon is thick so not very crispy. The biscuit melts in your mouth. The pancake is HUGE and is so good. You don't have to add any syrup because it is already the perfect balance of sweetness.

    When people talk about Atlanta staples, Homegrown absolutely belongs on the list. Amazing food with a down home diner feel and a thrift store in the back. Really how much better can it get? I stopped into this gem for a quick brunch and as always was never disappointed. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Memorial Drive, across from Madison Yards. They have a lot with free parking, but when it gets crowded (and trust it will) there's also street parking available. Venue and Atmosphere Homegrown is the perfect name because that's exactly what it feels like when you walk through the door. You feel at home. Whether it's the smiles you get from the hostess, the bar that reminds you of an old time lunch counter, or the booths that are super comfy to sit in, or the fridge covered in a million magnets. It's just immediately cozy and casual, which is the first indicator that good food is to follow. Food and drinks I got the comfy chicken biscuit, and comfy is the perfect word for it. It's an open-faced biscuit topped with fried chicken that they absolutely drown in sausage gravy. It was absolutely as good as it sounds. It was cold outside so to drink I got a hot caramel latte, extra on the caramel. You're gonna want that too. My wife got the breakfast enchiladas and the chorizo was so flavorful. Only one of us took leftover home, and it wasn't her lol. Service Staff is so friendly, from the hostess to our actual server to whoever is working the bar. You really feel like no matter what if you need help there is someone to help you. Food came out quickly, even though there was a steady constant stream of people coming and going Verdict Like I said Homegrown is absolutely a staple. It's a place for good food that will reignite conversations, make you smile, and fill your belly. You have to give them a visit. Until next time!

    Comfy Chicken
    Hernley J.

    I'm pissed it took me so long to find this place. Best chicken biscuit and gravy in the southeast and I stamp that! I ordered the comfy chicken and I can't elaborate how amazing it was. Would you believe me if I said after I ordered it took 2 minutes to get my food? Well that's a lie, because it took 1 minute and 36 seconds. I timed it and I still can't believe it. I will never eat another biscuit and gravy besides Home grown. You're welcome!

    Flawless execution. Vibes, immaculate. Speed of service - exquisite. Soft butteryness of the biscuit = transcendent. Creative use of chorizo, grits, pimento cheese, and lays. Simply life changing. Fried chicken, perfect season, classic crispiness, just juicy.

    She eats. He eats. And sometimes my plate steals the show. Homegrown came through with breakfast that knows what it is doing. I ordered the country fried steak with scrambled eggs and cheese grits and that plate was the clear winner. Crispy tender cubed steak covered in rich brown gravy with perfectly cooked eggs and smooth grits. The fried green tomatoes were easily the best I have ever had. Perfectly fried and paired with an incredible horseradish ranch that we are still talking about. The biscuit with apple butter was warm, fluffy, and delicious. I also tried the salmon biscuit. The flavor was good, but the salmon patties leaned a bit too bready for my taste. He ordered the steak hash and even he admitted my country fried steak was better. But the steak hash was still Important allergy disclaimer. I have a mushroom allergy and it was noted on my receipt. They have a table all purpose sauce that tasted amazing to him. He checked the ingredients and found out it contains mushroom extract. I did not taste it and was thankful he asked. Overall, Homegrown is a solid Atlanta breakfast spot with great food and plates worth debating. The place was amazing and you get a sense of a cozy 80s country diner!!! Just be sure to ask questions if you have food allergies.

    Comfy Chicken
    Rebeca H.

    Had the famous comfy chicken biscuit. flavor was good but overall meal is a bit dry since it also comes with a biscuit.

    Wild Wild Wes Sandwich
    Nicole F.

    We came Sunday around 12pm for brunch, we were told the wait would be 30-45 minutes, you can wait outside, or what we did instead was visit the surrounding shops near by to kill time. About an hour into our wait, we decided to order take out. The food was ready within 15 minutes and we found a bench near by to eat. My mother got the Lynn's Salmon patty which was more so one salmon croquette, a fried tomato over satueed spinach. The portion size was on the smaller side but the food was very good, just a bit misleading when the menu advertises a salmon patty which it was not. I got the Wes Sandwich which is just a fancy BBQ chicken sandwich. The meat was tender and it was loaded with bacon and chicken, it was very good. If the wait is long you can order a coffee inside while you wait.

    The one thing we knew we wanted after landing in ATL on an early flight was a great breakfast. After scouring Yelp, we decided on Home Grown--and it did not disappoint. Parking can be a bit tricky, but we arrived early enough to snag a spot in the small lot and get seated right away. Our server was friendly and super helpful with meal suggestions. I went with the Comfy Chicken Biscuit, my daughter ordered the Breakfast Tacos, and my sister chose the Chicken and Waffles. All three dishes were absolutely devoured, with barely a bite left on our plates. Great food, fun atmosphere, and friendly service--you really can't beat it!

    Do they take reservations?

    No they are a first come first serve. Also be aware if you have multiple people in your party they won't seat you until all of your group have arrived. That's their policy as of a month ago so not sure if it has changed. Masks are optional.

    How's the parking?

    Parking can be challenging. Especially when it's busy. Don't keep any valuables in your car!

    How's the wait on Sunday mornings?

    It depends if you make it before 10:30 could be 5 min to zero wait. After 11 could be 10 to 30 min. I would call before to check.

    I can't believe it took me so long to eat at Delilah's! I've known of this highly lauded business…read morefor years but never found the right day when I was craving soul food and in the area to order. Until recently. I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

    Well, well, well.... I must say... I don't know if it was a marketing tactic or genuine happening,…read morebut there was a sandwich (seemingly ready for customer pick-up) at the edge of the counter that looked delectable and totally caught the attention of my friend and I walking by. It made us stop and ask, "what is this place and this absolutely delicious-looking sandwich?!" The rest is history. We ordered yummy fried chicken pieces and a bbq chicken sandwich. It cured our souls. We asked the generous, wonderful lady at the counter about the story of Delilah's: was she a real person, who is she, etc. her answers made us fall in love even more... this is a genuine, family-owned and operated enterprise! We love, love, loved our food and I can't wait to go back and soport again!!! You gotta try it.

No ceiling fans, why not? The host (blond headed guy) was super nice and got us seated quicky. Our server Calli was also the bartender. He was very nice and polite, but he was clearly stretched doing double duty as server and bartender. His drinks were on point, but It took forever to get apitizers, and entrees, and it was difficult for him to really check on our table as often as we would have liked. He tried his best. Now the food: The smothered pork chops, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, collards, mac and cheese was great. Those chicken wings were fried to perfection 10/10. The mac and cheese wasn't really as creamy as I like but it was still really good. I wanted to take my out of town guest somewhere they could only experience in Atlanta. And, I wanted them to go back to Chicago and say what a great dining experience they had. In terms of the food, and drinks, location, they were well pleased and said I picked a winner. Now when the sun went down the music got crunk and the younger crowd started to pour in. It was a bit loud for the 45 up foks, but at least it was good R&B so we adapted.

Entirely manageable. Started off with the Tropic Like It's Hot mocktail (pineapple, orange juice, coconut water cream). Pretty tasty, crisp, and refreshing. Then came the cornbread muffins with the "liquid gold" spun honey. Unbelievable. Hot, crumbly, and easily the best thing on the table. Whoever is running the pastry program in the back understands pure physics. I could've eaten a dozen of those alone. For the entree, I got the Spiced Maple Chicken & Grits - fried chicken tossed in maple hot sauce, grits, two eggs, benton's bacon, and scallions - along with a side biscuit and jam. Complete hit. The chicken had a great crunch, the heat-to-sweet ratio was locked in, and the grits were smooth. Biscuit was flaky and proper, too.

They have a mini lot in the front and two in the back but space is limited. We had the biscuit trio and they were good. They get cold fast though. It comes with 3 jams and butters for you to try. The French toast was good but idk how fresh the bread was bc the crusts were hard- especially after cooking. It was actually kind of disappointing bc I had a much higher expectation for the texture and flavor. There's nothing special about it. My friend loved her grits, eggs and bacon dish. Service was good and timely. Overall, I'd go back and try something different but would definitely get the biscuits again.

Once our order was placed, it only took about ten minutes to get our food. One thing we noticed while waiting was the cook was checking the internal temperature of each piece of chicken as it came out of the fryer. This was very much appreciated and ensured every piece was cooked to perfection. Constant quality checks like that show they take their product seriously and do not rely only on a timer to tell them when it is done. All the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. While moist, the meat was not dripping with juices that ran down your arm or left a puddle on your plate. All the flavor was locked into the chicken. The baked beans were good, maybe nothing special but certainly a good accompaniment to the chicken. The slaw was also decent. The mac and cheese was good as well. One note of caution. The chicken seasoning is spicy. If you are used to large chain spicy versions, this is more than that. The flavor is great but the spiciness will get your attention. As long as you are aware of that, you will very much enjoy this chicken.
