    Great breakfast... Country Fried Steak
    Jay J.

    Great place to visit for a nostalgic field of an old diner and good food. Prices are good as well.

    Nothing fancy but your typical lunch, brunch, breakfast restaurant... Food was nothing special... service was good... The cinnamon roll is not homemade I repeat the cinnamon roll is not homemade!!!!

    We found ourselves returning to Silver Skillet, 14th St., Atlanta, not once but twice during our visit. We would have gladly stretched our stay for a third round. There's nothing fancy or dressed-up about this place; it is, in every way, a classic diner, and it has carried nearly 70 years of history with pride. Both mornings, our two-egg plates were cooked exactly as we hoped. Simple, hot, and right on target. The people elevate the experience though. Larry served us on day one, moving with the ease and warmth of someone who has greeted guests here for more than 35 years. On day two, Victoria (or as we called her Queen Victoria - because she lives up to it) bright, gracious, and engaging. Between the food, the welcome, and the character, Silver Skillet is an Atlanta institution we'll be visiting again every time we're in ATL.

    Sooooo good! First off, the 50's diner decor and vibe is great! Service was great and the food was great! Don't drive past this place. You have to stop in! The bacon egg and cheese bisucuit was like $8 and plenty of food. The biscuits are homemade and very good! This place has also been on diners drive ins and dives multiple times, as well as scenes in movies and music videos. Pretty cool!

    This place had a 50s diner style atmosphere. Food is traditional southern cooking. I got the game and cheese biscuit. The ham is great, although the biscuit was kind of small. Hash browns were great and the morning view from parking lot can't be beat.

    The first time we visited here the power went out as soon as we sat down. We were able to get some coffee but decided to come back on another day. This is a very laid back spot. Feels like the local diner where everyone knows each other. The chicken was fried to perfection and I love crispy hash browns. Our waitress was very nice but I didn't like how long our food sat in the window. Because there door was held open there were a lot of flies inside and flying around the serving window. I do want to go back and try their pancakes. I heard some really good reviews about them. This is an Atlanta staple and I am shocked I am just learning about it.

    A classic breakfast at a classic Atlanta diner. While on a Saturday out with my partner on our way to the High, I was craving a big breakfast and wanted to try somewhere new. Although the Silver Skillet may not be "new" in the city, it was new to us. After looking at the Yelp reviews and pictures, it seemed like it'd be a great choice for a bite to eat. Driving along the street, it would have been hard for us to miss the diner as the sign outside was big and bright. Although the parking lot wasn't massive, we found a great spot right up front as soon as we pulled in. Based on the reviews I expected that we'd have to wait a bit to be seated, but luckily we were quickly whisked off to a table in the front and out of the frigid cold. The place was packed! Seems like we visited at the perfect time because later on there were folks coming in in groups. We were promptly greeted by a sweet woman and put in our drink orders before setting our eyes on the extensive menu. Note: If you go for a cup of juice, go for the large because luckily I was warned that the small is very small but the large wasn't huge either. I liked that the menu didn't leave us (aka me) struggling in my indecisiveness, but offered great variety for diners alike. My bf decided to go with a veggie omelet w/cheese grits, salsa on the side and biscuits, while I went with fried catfish + eggs + grits and a pancake. I'm eating for two so please don't judge! We got our food in about 15 minutes which wasn't terrible as we didn't expect fast food. My pancake was delicious!! So light and fluffy, it covered the entire plate and was the perfect portion. Our grits were cooked well but pretty bland, which is understandable as restaurants can't mass produce dishes like that with as much butter and spice since everyone can't handle that. We both added our extra toppings and ate them right up. My partner said (and showed!) that he enjoyed his omelet although he thought that the salsa could have used a bit more 'kick'. I actually enjoyed the salsa as it was obviously fresh, filled with veggies and cilantro, just needed a dash of salt. My eggs were perfectly cooked and weren't lacking in portion at all, and the catfish? Delicious. Perfectly fried, light and filling. This was truly a delicious breakfast to start our day off with, I can't believe that it took us so long to visit!

    I love a good southern breakfast, and Silver Skillet delivers just that. I ordered two eggs that came with gravy and cheese grits. No notes, just felt like a big warm hug. My sweet tea was perfectly sweet. Everything was exactly what I was expecting. My waitress was super kind; she really was the epitome of Southern hospitality. Though busy, the staff was always keeping guests informed of wait times and worked with the limited seating they had. I love the fact that though the booths and tables were smaller, waiters and waitresses tried to group larger groups together in separate tables. It definitely was a cozy little dinner. I would love to come here again and get my fix of gravy and grits when I'm next craving them. This is probably the most enjoyable brunch experience I've had ever!

    Well it had been a long time since I had been here. So I decided to take a trip. I went with the idea of having some lunch. I went with the idea of having a ham steak and red eye gravy. Sadly thats on their lunch menu,witch is only served M-F(WTH). If you go on weekends,basically its breakfast,burgers and sandwitches. Since what i orginally wanted wasn't available,I settled for 2 eggs,2 pork chops,hashbrowns and toast. I ordered a unsweet tea to go with. The food soon arrived. The food looked great. However I thought $15.95 was a bit much considering the paper thin pork chops that came with. Now the food was great. Then came the other shocker. I recieved my bill,witch was almost $24. But then i did some investigation to see they charge $4 extra if you order hashbrown instead of grits. I had got the impression from my waitress that it was either grits or hashbrowns. I was not aware it was a up charge,and was not informed. However I shall return during the week, one day for lunch. I might like to add this little piece of advice too. This resteraunt is very famously known for having movies filmed here. I would advise you to make sure its open before traveling. They are known for being closed due to filming from time to time. I do find the interier neat. Has a 70's diner feel. There is also a cabinet with pictures to see the various movies and famous people who have been there.

    The silver skillet was dressed up for the holidays today. The inside was allot smaller than I thought it would be, cozy with all the chatter and a happy staff. My waitress has been working here for 23 years. So needless to say my entire experience from start to finish was great. The scrambled eggs and a chewy grilled pork chop stopped this from being a five star review. But because of the experience, ample parking and a good price this place still deserves another try. I'll get something new along with a Charleston chew from the counter.

    It is an Atlanta icon spot and I was nearby and decided to give it a go. The employees were lovely, friendly, and engaging. Definitely a five star situation, there I ordered a traditional breakfast combo. Nothing too radical. I was very disappointed in one aspect of the platter. My expectation was a fresh, homemade biscuit complete with fluffiness and buttermilk instead, the biscuits were prefab food service items. The industrialized taste and coating on my teeth after biting into it was tip off. Darn it.

    The food is always yummy here. I've been here twice. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. They greet you as soon as you walk in. The inside looks like a vintage diner and I can tell they have definitely kept the true aesthetic from years ago. The biscuits are to die for. I always order extra!

    Breakfast is an American staple to me. A good breakfast beats any meal of the day. That's why I don't say this lightly, "The Silver Skillet" invented breakfast! We arrived early, so we had to wait a bit, but a line was already forming outside. What were we getting into I thought. Once the gate opened and they let us in, we jumped back to the roots of Atlanta. Old school tables, floor and bar, were visible to all. The restaurant was packed within minutes, but the staff was ready. They worked together to get coffee out. When it was time to order, I wanted to try everything. Starting off with some southern conversation as she then took our order. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. It was hot and the smell alone made me hungry. But what I wasn't prepared for were the grits! They tasted the way my mom made them. They were incredible. That with the biscuits and sausage, made me remember being eight again eating breakfast with my family. This place was special. After, they dropped the check and asked us to pay at the counter. They took Apple Pay, so that was fortunate and forward thinking of them. I may come here again, there's more items on the menu I want to try.

We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

    Title: Flavor Explosion, Soulful Hospitality & a Last-Minute Meal That Turned Magical…read more Let me just say this: what started as a "quick bite before closing" turned into one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in a long time. We arrived at The Poach Social about 20 minutes before closing, unsure if we'd be rushed--but instead, we were welcomed with warmth and ease. Lived the ambiance. Hunter, our server, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel taken care of from the very start. Then came Victor, the owner and chef--and this is where things shifted from good to special. Without us even asking, he recommended a mocktail that felt like it was made just for me: a sorrel-based drink layered with ginger, spice, herbs, and fresh fruit. It was refreshing, balanced, and honestly one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I've had. We started with the jerk egg rolls... and I'm not exaggerating when I say we were clapping after the first bite. Crispy, juicy, flavorful, with a sweet-spicy sauce that just worked. We immediately knew we'd be taking more to go. For the main course, we ordered the Poach Social breakfast plate and the blackened salmon with polenta. The breakfast plate was comforting and well-executed, but the salmon dish? Absolutely unforgettable. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth texture, with creamy polenta and a rich sauce that brought everything together. It was a full-on flavor experience. The timing of everything--from drinks to apps to entrées--was seamless. Hunter checked in at the perfect moments, never too much, never too little. We ended up in a lovely conversation with Victor, who is not only talented but genuinely kind and passionate. He brought us complimentary slices of carrot cake, and even though we were already full... we ate every bite. No regrets. It was phenomenal. What I loved most is that this place doesn't just serve food--it creates an experience. There's intention, care, and heart behind everything. If you're in Atlanta, do yourself a favor and go. This place deserves to thrive. We will absolutely be back.

The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service.
