    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

    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

    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

    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

    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've been doing breakfast so this was the first time I've been there for karaoke and that was pretty cool, though I wish they made it more obvious how to participate because that could have been fun and it wasn't busy that night. I really enjoy that there's a wide variety so even though I was craving Mexican and my friend wanted Americana, we both had something we liked. The food was...not bad. I've had good meals and bad meals here. The guacamole isn't guacamole. It's just mashed up avocado, so be prepared for that. A little salt and the hot sauce the nachos came with and it was a bit better. I also liked that they brought all the toppings so you could assemble the nachos the way you want. I will say, the drinks here are amazing. I loved the peach bellini we had at breakfast and I had a Georgia Peach cocktail at dinner on my most recent visit and I'm dying to try to make it at home. My one real complaint was our server was very sweet but not exactly attentive. We could actually see her from our table and she was sitting and chatting up one of the other employees. I support your flirting with coworkers but maybe we could get our check first? Thanks! Will obviously be back again, I just might not do the nachos again. If I want guacamole, there's at least 3 Tex Mex places within walking distance.

I finally pulled up on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, and honestly, the sheer scale of this place is hilarious. The parking lot alone is a whole ecosystem, and the inside looks like it can comfortably seat half of Metro Atlanta with room to spare. I came with a serious appetite, so I went straight for the classic heavyweight: the Roast Turkey Entrée (all white meat). Now, when the server started listing out everything that came with it, I thought there was a glitch in the simulation. For starters, you get a soup and a salad. I went with the chicken noodle and a Caesar salad. The chicken noodle hit the spot--properly seasoned, warm, and comforting. The Caesar was solid too, crisp and fresh. But then the main plate arrived, and I'm pretty sure they harvested an entire farm for this one meal. Generous portion of white meat turkey, a mountain of mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a side of broccoli (gotta respect the greens). Every single item on that main plate was absolute perfection. Tender, savory, and cooked with actual respect for flavor profiles. My only real critique? The bread basket. Look, I don't know what happened there, but that roll was completely devoid of personality. Tasted like straight oxygen and flour. Unseasoned bread in 2026 is an absolute tragedy, but thankfully, the whipped butter spread saved the day and gave it a purpose in life. Between the massive portions and the endless menu options, this place is an absolute unit. You're definitely leaving with a take-home box the size of a carry-on suitcase and a strong urge to take a three-hour nap. Great energy, fast service, and legendary portions. Just bypass the plain bread and dive straight into the turkey.

Ironically, I'm working on a movie production which allowed me a gap in my schedule to stop in for a quick breakfast. I say ironically because I was not aware TSS had become such an iconic set for some well known movies and series over the years. [Yes! I live in a box!] I imagine TSS was the "go to" place for locals in years past. It imagine it still is for some because it is somewhat convenient, has decent parking, and fairly easy to get in and out. In midtown ATL, this is huge!! I sat at the counter and my order was taken immediately. My water and cup of coffee was placed in front of me immediately. The nostalgia was undeniable and I observed the front wait staff seemed happy (inconceivable!). I found myself grinning to myself at their small talk and humor. I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit (served open faced) with a side of hashbrowns. My food was served hot straight from the grill. My only regret was not ordering toast because the biscuit, to my disappointment, was not homemade. I compare it to the Mary B's Frozen Biscuits I use to buy when I wanted a biscuit but didn't have time to pull out my wooden bowl or had no buttermilk in the fridge. Two clean, single occupancy bathrooms for paying customers are assessable from the outside and entering through the door to the kitchen. That was interesting.. I imagine the building has not changed much over the years. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, (check it off the Bucket List ) but the ($16 + $4 tip) for my breakfast might make me consider The Waffle House before returning for a second visit unless eating for lunch or the Homemade Lemon Ice-Box Pie voted one of the "5 Best Pies in the USA". I do love PIE!

I did not notice any specific handicapped spot but was able to park right next to the entrance. Be aware there is a bike lane between the street and the parking spots. Be courteous and aware as exiting your vehicle. We were greeted as we walked in. I think there is a QR code to be put on the waitlist to the right, but we were seated right away. Seating is mostly booths with some stools at the counter. There are a couple small tables at the front of the building looking out to the street. I think there is also seating on the other side of the main seating area. Our server brought us physical menus, but you can also scan a QR code to bring the menu up on your phone. She took our drink orders and returned with them quickly. She also pointed out the daily specials on the chalkboard behind us when she brought the menus, which was a nice touch. We placed our order and waited no more than 15 minutes for the food to be brought to the booth. The chorizo scramble special was outstanding. The chorizo was very flavorful, the other ingredients fresh and crisp, and there was enough cheese to add flavor without making the scramble heavy. The accompanying fried potatoes were cooked perfectly and the multigrain biscuit was exceptional. There were small containers of apple butter on the table that made the biscuit into a memorable experience. The pancake special comes with two eggs, bacon, and grits. The plate-sized pancakes are fluffy and seem to have a malt flavor, the eggs were cooked as ordered, and even the toast was notable. The grits were creamy without turning to jello as they cooled. The build your own plate of French toast, pancake, and bacon was also excellent. The French toast slice was thick and large. Added to the large pancake, this was a filling meal. The bacon is good and was cooked as ordered. They must have a code system, as the server who took the order was not the one who brought the food to our table. Without needing to ask, each plate was placed in front of the person who placed the order. No confusion, just a well-run service that adds to the overall experience. While the ambient noise can get a little high, it is all conversation and laughter. This is a lively diner with outstanding friendly service and amazingly good food. Two thumbs up for Thumbs Up!
