R. Thomas is weird and eclectic; it's the spot that taught me something organic could taste good and to this date, it's one of the few spots where I can go meatless and be happy. Parking is tricky but free, you enter by Sufi's. The grade is steep so be careful if you have any kind of heel. Say hello to Peaches and Cream, the two cockatoos on your ascent. Now inside, it's unpretentious but there is plenty of seating. Personally, I always get a smoothie or juice here. Go-tos are the Mojo Jojo or the Frosted Champ but anything that sounds good to you is. I also tend to go the Magic Quesadilla or Magic Baked Potatoes but I also think the fish tacos are also amazing. This time I went with the penne pasta and added tofu - total banger. Bottom line, R. Thomas is a must go and it's a double recommend if you have a friend that has a gluten allergy. We brought a friend and it's literally the first time I've seen her order and eat in person. She got the gluten free pancakes. read more

Very casual spot that's open from 7am-5am most days. They also have funny birds on the outside that I like to visit. I've come twice now, both times right after work (night shift) for early morning breakfast and I really like that they serve alcohol that early in the morning. Really helps after a long stressful shift. I'm always served by the same server who is friendly and attentive. The Bloody Mary is nice and strong, they also have pretty good mimosas. I've tried the burger and the quesadilla, while both good I really liked the quesadilla a lot. Will definitely be coming back for after work breakfasts to try the rest of their menu read more

STILL GOOD! I haven't been to R. Thomas in YEARS! When a friend told me they were closing I was crushed! BUT shortly thereafter I learned it was just new management. Still concerned, but much less. Popped in today for a post-race refresher. Everything is just as GOOD. Service was excellent. Early morning was quiet and that much more enjoyable. Same great environment. Same great food. Same wonderful service! read more

I would not recommend this spot for vegetarians/vegans. PARKING: parking is behind the building. You drive through the narrow entry on the right and downhill to park (complimentary). APPEARANCE: the outside had some nice decorations, but it was too cold that night to appreciate. Theres a heating vent at the door to keep those waiting in line warm. FOOD: Not bad if you're in the area and hungry. read more

R. Thomas Deluxe Grill - Big Bang - Vegetarian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Really 4.5 stars. The 2 best things about this restaurant is the service and the food. Both EXCELLENT. The menu has a wide variety of food for vegetarian, pescatarian and omnivores. Everything was delicious and a huge portion. The ONLY downside is the condition of the actual restaurant. It's very 'hole in the wall' grunge but prices of $15-20 per entree. You have to pass through the kitchen to get to the restroom. There's only tented outdoor seating so not ideal for winter or super hot days. But even that being said, I'd still come back again and again due to the food and friendly service. read more

R Thomas is always a wonderful brunch. We have never made it to the lunch menu as we stick to our favorites. The Big Breakfast with French Toast and Salmon Omelette always hit the spot! Service is great. Ambience is cool and casual. Dining is an outdoor covered tent setting with fun lights. Heaters for winter weather. read more

I hadn't been to R Thomas in quite a while and it was SO good. I had the R's Deluxe breakfast with scrambled eggs, vegetarian sausage (the best I've ever tasted), home fries, and a small order of french toast. I ate everything! As did all my companions! Service was lovely and it's just such a cool ambiance. Wish I could have seen the birds, but glad they're behind layers of protection to keep them warm. I heard the restaurant is for sale. Really hope someone who wants to continue their great food, service, and vibes buys it! read more

loved r. thomas since forever. i recently visited and had the best meal. from a delicious seafood pasta, the bread and a special green juice, it was all fresh and flavorful. i ordered take out but the service was fine picking it up and i love the ambiance there. the birds chirping outside to all the vibrant decor around the restaurant. this place is one of my atl favorites. i hear they may be changing ownership so i wanted to be sure i caught it before that transformation as things tend to taste different. read more

A meal at R Thomas has never let me down. I've been going here since I was a little girl and have tried just about everything on their menu. I always sing their praises to anyone who will listen! Tonight we had the fish tacos - salmon, onion, broccoli, slaw, dolled up with a special sauce and guac. These tacos are seriously pilled to the top! Also had the breakfast quesadilla - which you can get them to roll up into a burrito with a side of their home fries. Seriously the best home fries in town, everytime I try to recreate the recipe at home I just can't nail it! And to top it all off we did a half order of their famous French toast - an absolute must! Our waiter was great, attentive and kind. Their quirky restaurant always has a great and eclectic vibe. If this place ever closes I'll riot in the streets and chain my self to the facade. read more

In the mood for quality food pretty much any time of day and particularly late nights/early mornings? R. Thomas Deluxe is an Atlanta staple and a hidden gem tucked in between Buckhead and Midtown. The food is always made to order and they're open until like 5a. My first time a few years ago I had the fried rice and recently ordered the grilled wings to-go. Both were great choices! Not sure if they still have the exotic birds, but it's worth checking out either way. read more

I have to start with how in love with the parakeets, so much personality! The ambiance gives you the feeling of going to great grandparents house and they have cool stuff everywhere. We where acknowledged upon entering but it to a little minute to be seated, nothing to complain about because our waiter was by himself. I had a Shrimp and Crab omelet with grits and a Mimosa.... A plus. This spot has been around for years and it looks to still be going strong and it's cool on the weekend there open till 5am. read more

GREAT FOOD! We went there for breakfast. The Mrs and I split the R's Breakfast Special, and it was the perfect amount. They have some of the best home fries I have ever eaten. Heck, they might have been "the" best on second thought. There were sweet, lovey Cockatoos (I wasn't sure there was such a thing!) as well as an equally kind and gorgous Macaw. The parking lot was precarious. Repelling ropes were almost needed for me to exit our car, quite a comical angle. Potties were clean enough. Say yes to the French toast! read more

Good things: The Thomas Burger was delicious and reasonably priced. Devyn was an incredible waitress. Bad: The interior feels like an out of place, rundown diner for children. It's very strange. Bathroom was also super gross. But 5 stars for food and service! read more

This place is legit and has great flavor. I went with my sister as she is vegan and wanted to let her try something new. The menu is plenty full and has lots of options. The grilled chicken was okay but on the dry side and it looked like they just slapped it on the grill to give it the burnt stripes. The restaurant seems to be clean and just like any other restaurant. My biggest feedback or negative experience was the waiter as it was as if we were bothering him. It may be his demeanor or his personality but it does not give the welcoming vibe. I did notice that a couple of tables left but I am not sure if it was because of his demeanor. read more

On a recent visit to ATL, we were recommended to visit this funky joint for breakfast and it couldn't have been more spot-on for both food and atmosphere. The parking is directly behind the restaurant and is shared with the place next door (as far as I could tell). There is an alley between the two that brings you to the parking lot. Before we entered the dining room, we spent at least ten minutes visiting with the collection of tropical birds, who, apparently, are super friendly and like getting head rubs. Cute and lovable, we were already enjoying our experience and hadn't even walked in the door yet! Once we found seating and explored the menu, with the recommendation of the next table: "You HAVE to get the French Toast!", we ordered the R's Breakfast Special which was enough food for two of us. Eggs, bacon, french toast and breakfast potatoes. Everything was delicious. The coffee was super strong. The service was delightful. We would ABSOLUTELY come back the next time we are in the area. read more

This place is a GEM! It's open until the wee hours and serves breakfast ALL DAY! The French toast was sooo light and fluffy, it was like if French toast and beignets got together and had babies. So, so deeply delicious! The vegan sausage was an excellent complement to the sweetness of the French toast. The sausage was served with a side of potatoes and onions (not crispy brown like hash browns) that was cooked to perfection. Sometimes simple food is the very best. The atmosphere, although fun and festive, was a little too "campy" for me, but the food was so great that it didn't matter too much. read more

I've heard great things about the French toast here, and they were telling the truth! Location and Parking Located in Buckhead, be careful to read the signs marking where to turn, or else you'll miss the narrow driveway. Parking is located behind the restaurant, and is free. Venue and Atmosphere R. Thomas is just as colorful inside as it is outside. While walking up to the door, you will pass a garden and live exotic birds chirping to welcome you in. Inside, it's a cross between a greenhouse and a disco, with colorful lighting, decorative paintings, and greenery. Watch your step as you proceed to your table, and restrooms are located past the kitchen. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages Ok so, everyone who said that the French toas was delicious was telling the truth. It's perfectly seasoned with powdered sugar and seared with the right amount of butter on brioche bread. I also had the build your own omelette with chicken sausage, cheese, and a variety of veggies. It was also delicious. It is served with a generous portion of fruit (or vegetarian side of your choice). Verdict This French toast is going to become a staple in my brunch rotation, I'll be back! read more

R. Thomas is an Atlanta staple that's been around longer than I've been alive! It's a great after-hours spot; they're open until 5AM. The food is good, particularly the breakfast. They're known for having fresh ingredients... and literally everything. Burgers, wings, breakfast, fresh pressed juice, vegan, vegetarian. If you want it, they probably have it. Atmosphere - It's laid back. The decor is very vibrant and whimsical. You're basically sitting under a large tent. There are caged parrots outside. It's an interesting place. Parking - I couldn't figure out if we were in the right lot. We paid about $6 to park for an hour and a half. Overall - If you've never been there, check it out! read more

Love the late night vibe and food. Unfortunately the last three times I've been they treat me like a non entity, no server when others around me are served. Idk wtf it's about. Identity intersectionality renders me invisible and left unattended to repetitively here. I'm a white straight looking dude so I get it but damn. read more

We met up with family for breakfast at R. Thomas Grill early on a Saturday morning, and it was pretty empty. My parents like it and have talked about it a lot, so I was looking forward to trying it. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon (I appreciate the accuracy of my order with the bacon!) and cheese grits. My order accidentally came out with the potatoes (which I did not care for at all). When I mentioned it to our waiter, he brought out the grits and immediately corrected it. The grits were good. My husband ordered the quesadilla, but as a burrito instead. He said it was good, but also was not a fan of the potatoes. There was nothing bad about our experience, but it is probably not a place I would return to. I didn't really jive with the atmosphere. read more

Depending on when you go this spot is really good for brunch. The food is decent, you can get the standards, eggs, sausage, French toast, grits, whatever. I stuck with the r Thomas breakfast and it had a mix of just about everything. I got there and it was getting pad but still got a table right away so that was a big nod to service (on a weekend). Food came out fast as it was supposed to I assume. Everything was was pretty good. The outside of the establishment is really kind of weird and eccentric, they have live birds and things like that if you're into something that's a little out of pocket as far as decor goes. But it's a cool little spot. You got to park way in the back down a hill so if you are wearing some high heels, be aware you going up lol. But no, decent spot, doesn't really disappoint. read more

An Atlanta native recommended this gem to us. Waiter was very helpful and knew nearly all items on menu were or could be made gluten free (not the French toast!). Hubby had the gf pancakes for 'appetizer'-they were delicious! Light and fluffy and cooked to perfection! I had the French toast (you can also order a half) with super tasty chicken sausage. Delightful. Not sure if they have a dedicated fryer. Kitschy hippy vibe. Super cute with several large birds in cages outside the building to greet guests. I'd sure come back here and try one of the other items on the menu! read more

Food was real food, versus highly processed! Thank you. Relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. Friendly pricing, much appreciated.

The vegetarian options were delicious! Service was adequate. Vibe was groovy. Bathrooms needed a good cleaning.

If you're looking for a laid-back spot with delicious , fresh and healthy eats, this place is a must-visit! The fish tacos are very flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the hummus was fresh, and perfectly ideal for dipping! And let's not forget the nachos, I decided I didn't want guacamole and instead replaced that with hummus. It was totally satisfying as my appetizer. The vibes are super chill, making it the perfect place to unwind with hubby before a good movie. or even to grab a bite solo. Plus, the manager is super friendly and helpful, offering great advice on what to order. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and tasty outing! Thanks again! read more
