Home Grown is a hidden Atlanta gem, delivering the best comfort food ITP. I visited for a quick brunch and as always was never disappointed. Location and Parking Located on Memorial Drive, they have a lot with free parking, but when it gets crowded (spoiler alert: it always does) there's also street parking available. Venue and Atmosphere Step through the door adorned with a million stickers, and it's like being transported into someone's home kitchen. The vibes are comforting and casual, with friendly service to match. Food and drinks Pro tip: get the breakfast enchiladas! The chorizo was so flavorful and the sauce was delicious as well. I took no leftovers because I wanted to experience all of the deliciousness on the spot. Service From the hostess to our actual server to whoever is working the bar, the staff were amazing. Food arrived quickly, even though there was a steady constant stream of people coming and going Verdict I'll be back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Home Grown - Comfy Chicken - Diners Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place while good is a little overhyped. The ambiance is nothing special and the comfy chicken was good but the other items ordered were mid. Comfy chicken is a fried chicken, biscuits and gravy situation so quite heavy and not for everyday consumption but a nice occasional treat when the mood strikes. I'd give this place a B+. If you stick with what they do best you won't be disappointed but don't expect to be blown away and certainly don't go too far out of the way to try. Enjoy! read more

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. read more

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. read more

So upset that it took me this long to try Home Grown! The food all feels homemade and was absolutely delicious. Some of the best cheese grits I've ever had no exaggeration. Our server was so friendly and the inside is bigger than it looks. Loved that they support local artists and you can purchase different pieces! Also, the Velveteen chai latte was out of this world. Can't wait to go back! read more

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! read more

If you want southern comfort food with a diner atmosphere, this is the place to go! There's plenty of parking in the area. Their parking lot is pretty big but it was full when we arrived, but there's lots of free street parking nearby. We came on a Friday morning around 11 and had to wait about 20 min, so not too long, but I heard on weekends the wait can be much longer! The inside of this place is so quirky! I love all the decor they have! Our server was super nice and once we ordered, we got served very quickly! I ordered the comfy chicken and oh my gosh was it comfy! It was a like a hug to my soul! The chicken was SO incredibly soft and juicy it almost just like fell apart as soon as I bit into it! The gravy was delicious!! The sausage bits inside were amazing! And the biscuit!! So soft and moist and very crumbly! They have enough gravy which I loved because one of my biggest pet peeves is when I get biscuits and gravy and they don't give enough gravy. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

My favorite breakfast spot. Service is great as well as the food. Cost is best out of all of the breakfast spots in all of Atlanta.

This place is just too cool for words. Art and style everywhere. You've just got to experience it. Excellent service. Best Bloody Mary I've had in ages; great flavours and the alcohol didn't clash or overpower. My husband got an iced Velveteen; I think it's a chai latte... Just phenomenal. Vegan Sloppy Joe: had the flavour of BBQ sauce; good. Lynne: salmon cakes; very good. Fried Chicken Livers: really surprising; I loved them. We shall return. read more

Home Grown - Comfy Chicken - Diners Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

If you're anywhere near Memorial Drive and even thinking about breakfast, go to Home Grown. No debate. The Comfy Chicken Biscuit is hands down one of the best breakfast items in Atlanta. Perfectly fried chicken, crispy on the outside and juicy where it counts, sitting on a buttery, scratch-made biscuit that actually holds up. Smothered in sausage gravy that tastes like somebody's grandma has been perfecting. It's rich without being sloppy, indulgent without being ridiculous. Exactly how Southern comfort food should be done. The vibe is laid-back, unpretentious, and consistently good. Service is friendly and prompt. No gimmicks. Just real-deal breakfast made right. read more

The vibe was immaculate. The staff was friendly and personable. The food came out quickly and exceeded our expectations. I got the chicken finger plate and subbed a biscuit for the toast, and sausage gravy for the cheese grits. I wanted to try the chicken biscuit with gravy, so this allowed me to build that on my own while still trying the chicken fingers by themselves. While great by themselves, the chicken fingers dipped in their honey mustard was even more unbelievable. Other notable items my party tried were the pancakes and the pimiento cheese. We will definitely be back! read more

Yep lived up to the hype. Best breakfast I've had in Atl. Biscuits must be made from homemade buttermilk to be that rich and tasty

Excellent choice for breakfast/brunch... if you can get in! The restaurant has quick table turnover, so even if they say the wait is long, consider putting your name in, you don't want to miss Home Grown! The menu is quite diverse (and all good) - vegetarian options, southern, texmex, sandwiches, etc... My favorite part is the whole vibe of the restaurant: there is local art lining all of the walls, some available for purchase! The whole venue is cute and definitely worth a stop in. read more

Home Grown is a very cute, local breakfast spot. The ambiance makes you feel like you are at an old-timey diner with old newspaper reports and local decor on the walls. I have eaten here twice now. The first time was a few years back and the food was impeccable and very reasonably priced. However, I came back here recently (summer 2025) and was quite disappointed. The prices had gone up drastically (although to be expected in most places in Atlanta) but the quality went way down. The biscuits were dry and overcooked, the breakfast sausage tasted like it was straight out the freezer, and the eggs were very plain. Both my friend and I did not finish our meals. He got sausage and gravy, and he said it was mediocre. I am truly not sure if they were having an off day or if the quality has gone down over the years, but it makes me worried to try the place again. I truly loved this spot the first time I tried it so I do hope the quality is better for others. read more

I recently visited on 8-28-2025. I visited here previously a couple of years ago. Now I live in the area not to far away. So on 8-28-2025 I had to go with a classic dish. I got the Chicken and Waffle. The waffle is big I actually ate one piece of chicken and took two home with me. I sat at the counter initially there is plenty of butter at hand and napkins. The syrup tastes good also fried chicken is cooked good crispy. It's a lot of chicken on this waffle. I went back on 8-31-2025 for Shrimp and Grits to go. I never had shrimp and grits with this amount of veggies in it. There is onions and green and red peppers sliced or chopped. I tried it how it came the first time. From here on our when I get this dish I will tell them to hold the veggies. I like my shrimp and grits plain with out garnish etc in them. The cheese grits are delicious with the shrimp in them here though for sure. read more

I haven't been here in a hot minute and I feel like it's so much better than I remember it being! It's one of the OG Atlanta staples you must go if you have out-of-towners visiting. We came here for lunch and took my mom who was visiting. I'm so glad they offer both breakfast and lunch because I was craving breakfast food. Parking could be a pain in the butt but there was street parking available. We were seated right away towards the back of the restaurant. She loved the ambiance and service, literally felt like eating at a grandma's house. We all pretty much shared what we ate with each other. We ordered the breakfast enchiladas, Donnie's breakfast, comfy chicken (a must!!) and their special of peaches and cream waffle. Everything was so delicious and service was amazing! I'm definitely looking forward to the next time I come back to Home Grown! read more

We were visiting our daughter and we went to Home Grown for breakfast. There were 4 of us. My husband paid the bill and I didn't check to see if the amount was correct. We ordered: 3 coffee's, 1 tea, Fried Pickles, a burger, salmon pattie, grits, a Basic Breakfast and a Chicken and Waffle. When I checked my bank account, they debited $124. There is no way our order and tip came to that amount. Shame on them for what I can only assume was a change to the tip we left. read more

Awesome breakfast joint. Had the comfy chicken and friends, while it is so good, it is quite large and heavy. I was startled to get 3 pieces of fried chicken instead of just 2. The biscuit and gravy were also so soft and melt in your mouth. Service was quick but seriously so sweet and nice. Parking lot available and some street around although seems like it gets crowded. read more

I've passed by Home Grown numerous times, and they have such great reviews, so I decided to try them out for breakfast recently. This place is a neighborhood staple and is adored by locals. Parking is limited but you can manage, restaurant is cute and quaint. I ordered my food online and took it home. I ordered the catfish, cheese grits, eggs, and potatoes. The grits were the star of the show. Perfect amount of cheese and seasoning, plus great consistency. Everything else was just there. The catfish was huge and it was beautifully fried, but it was a bit too salty. The eggs were cold and unseasoned, and so were the potatoes. I could've went on an off day, but my meal was subpar. I would, however, go again to try something else! read more
