At Silver Skillet, you’re not just enjoying a meal—you’re absorbing an experience. It’s where the comfort of perfectly flaky biscuits meets the charm of a bygone era, where every bite of ham or sip of coffee feels deeply rooted in Southern tradition. Whether you’re a tourist chasing nostalgia or a local feeding a craving for the classics, this diner proves that timeless food and a warm welcome never go out of style.

Some places never need to change, and the Silver Skillet is perfectly content being exactly what it’s always been: an honest-to-goodness diner serving up breakfast classics without pretense. The hash browns are crispy-edged and golden, the bacon comes out properly rendered, and the eggs are cooked to order every time. This isn’t Instagram food - it’s comfort food that’s been perfected through decades of repetition. The atmosphere is pure Americana diner, complete with well-worn booths and coffee that keeps coming. If you’re looking for trendy twists or artisanal anything, keep driving. But if you want a plate of eggs, bacon, and hash browns that tastes exactly like it should, the Silver Skillet delivers every single time. For diner purists and anyone who appreciates consistency over novelty, this place is a treasure. Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones that never try to be anything other than themselves.

I recently visited Silver Skillet in Atlanta during a US business trip. It was an amazing experience! The retro diner vibe created a warm, nostalgic ambiance that instantly put me at ease. Our waitress was an absolute gem—friendly, attentive, and full of charm. The dessert I had was nothing short of a dream, rich and perfectly indulgent. Highly recommend this iconic spot for a delightful meal or a cake and coffee.

If you’re craving true Southern comfort, this place delivers! The breakfast was absolutely delicious — every bite was made with love. From fluffy biscuits to perfectly seasoned grits, the cooks here really know what they’re doing. The service was warm, welcoming, and fast. You can tell the staff takes pride in their work. Can’t wait to come back for another hearty, home-cooked meal!

What a delightful and inviting atmosphere! The food is absolutely scrumptious, especially the mouthwatering chicken and waffles. Be sure not to miss the charming gift shop, where you can find their own coffee beans to savor at home. Thank you, Miss Victoria and the staff, for a wonderful experience!

Breakfast was great today. The pancakes were cooked just right & good to the taste. Eggs, Grits, chicken sausage & hash browns where good to. I’m front the north and I put auger in my grits and didn’t need to today😂. But overall the customer service was great & nice. This is a great place to have breakfast💯

The Silver Skillet in Atlanta is a timeless Southern landmark that perfectly blends nostalgia, hospitality, and hearty comfort food. Family-owned since 1956, it’s the kind of place where the décor hasn’t changed and every detail feels authentic, from the checkered floors to the posters on the walls. The atmosphere is warm and familiar, with the smell of bacon in the air and friendly staff who treat you like a regular the moment you walk in. The menu is Southern comfort including their famous biscuits that melt in your mouth. More than just breakfast, The Silver Skillet serves up a taste of Atlanta’s history and heart, proving that some traditions are worth keeping exactly as they are. Where the past still tastes delicious.

Nice eating with a warm home touched field. The pancakes and eggs were made just as ordered. Vegetable plate looked delicious and the cornbread was rather tasty. The service was good for the time of day. The tea was a sweet just like I like it. I would try this restaurant again if in the area.

Better than average biscuits but not the greatest of all time. You can't eat the grits with a fork they could stand to be a little thicker. Great staff !!

Not sure what the hullabaloo about this place is. It's in a cute walkable neighborhood but aside from the fast service the food is just not that great. My diet Coke came in a can. Come on now, this is 2025. I had the ham steak with redeye gravy, and it was like jerky. I could barely cut it with a knife. It looked burned black when it was served, and that was before I poured the coffee-heavy watery "sauce" over it. The 3 cheese macaroni was so overcooked the mushy shells fell apart. The rice was sticky but the gravy was OK. Cornbread was good and dense with corn kernels in it. My husband's country-fried steak was good as were his mashed potatoes and lima beans. Biscuits were good. I will say if you don't go here for anything else, the awards they've received for the Lemon Icebox Pie are well-deserved and their chocolate pie was decadent.

The restaurant was a fan favorite for several years. I assume that it still is that is one of the reasons why I wanted to go there particularly to eat I saw this location on television and since I lived in the city I wanted to make sure to make a visit . It appears to be a lot bigger than it is They have a small dining area. It's a bit cluttered but I guess it's because it gives you the old school vibe where there's lots of things going on in the old school diner things on the walls and all of that good stuff the souvenir shop and everything. The floors weren't as clean as I would like them but I guess that was just a busy day for them. We were seated pretty promptly. I had a egg and cheese sandwich and chicken sausage it was very good I enjoyed the complete meal. I had a delicious hot chocolate, the other meal was country ham and eggs with grits which was also delicious from what I'm told, the pancake was cooked to perfection. The food came out within 20 minutes of ordering so the service is pretty prompt. Our waitress was pretty quick with everything a catered to our needs checked on our table twice. Our visit was all in all good and we would definitely return. And we would definitely return. Parking is more on the side of the restaurant where the entrance is.

No thanks. This is supposed to be a place that celebrities come to but I’m sorry I was not impressed. It’s just…dirty. Unclean vents, flaking paint and a bathroom on the outside. Food was meh at best. I had the meatloaf with tomato sauce, mashed potatoes and corn. The potatoes were not mashed and were not good. The meatloaf was ok but nothing to shout about. Service was spit on but that’s about it.

I really didn't want to leave this place a bad review but I was left with no choice. The country fried steak, although both crunchy and seasoned to perfection, was like biting into straight up …
