Best Diners in Kennesaw

"Promising artful eats for simple folk, the Folk Art Restaurant is an all-day diner-style joint that dishes up some of the finest versions of Atlanta’s favorite breakfasts. From the classic chicken and waffles to the huge biscuits serve with house-made jellies or sausage gravy, it’s no surprise that locals just keep coming back for more. Although the restaurant does offer lunch and dinner offerings, it’s the breakfast menu that really blows the minds of all those who come to visit."

"The original Inman Park location is sure to present people with a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it. Folk Art has earned a reputation for having some of the best brunch fare in Atlanta since opening in 2013. Having opened a second location in Decatur in the former Thumbs Up space, Folk Art continues to pull in throngs of patrons there, too."

"465 North Highland Avenue Northeast (Inman Park) & Another Location in Decatur. Inman Park is known for having some of the best restaurants in Atlanta. As one of the top brunch places in Atlanta, Folk Art fits perfectly into the neighborhood."

"Thomas had a theme, which it technically doesn't, it would fall somewhere in the tropical birds-meet-somewhat crunchy enclosed patio-with-quinoa category. This Peachtree Road institution is decorated with neon lights, plenty or tchotchkis to keep the kiddos entertained, caged, tropical birds, and it's all in a somewhat permanent shed-type lean-to on the border of Buckhead and Midtown. With a huge menu (and seriously—tons of good, healthy options), this spot just works."

"Located on the corner of 14th Street, The Silver Skillet has been dishing up mouthwatering Southern cooking since 1956!. What’s equally as remarkable as its delicious food is that The Silver Skillet still looks and feels like it’s in the ‘50s. The period atmosphere of the restaurant has landed it in several movies and televisions series, such as Taken 3, Anchorman 2, and more."

"The Silver Skillet has long been a favorite of Atlantans for a hearty breakfast and an old-fashioned “meat and three.” Other must tries include their chicken fried steak and lemon icebox pie. But it is also a favorite of Hollywood. Its vintage decor has made it a top filming location for many tv shows and movies."

"Since 1956, this family-run favorite has slung buttermilk biscuits, country, ham, red-eye gravy, and meat-and-three favorites, not to mention some killer pies. Ask one of the lifetime waitresses about all the movies and TV shows this joint has been in."

At the small Waffle House Museum, you can step back in time and look through past uniforms, dishes from different decades, and a collection of menus. It’s a kitschy little spot, but many people have a special place for the Waffle House chain and might love stopping at this little museum that pays homage."

The restaurant opened in 1968, and it is the oldest family-owned Italian restaurant in Atlanta.

"If you want old-school Italian, look no further than Nino's for a nice, dimly lit romantic atmosphere and delicious genuine food. Originally opened in 1968, Nino’s has been owned and operated by Antonio Noviello since 1982 with many of the original dishes on the menu brought from Italy by Antonio and his brother Giuseppe. Antonio’s favorite dishes are named after family members and the pasta dish, which bears the name of Nino’s, is a recipe from Mama Noviello."

"Located on Cheshire Bridge Road, Nino’s is a classic red sauce restaurant that’s been serving pasta dishes in Atlanta for over 50 years now. Keep it simple with spaghetti and meatballs or lasagna or order the fettuccine with shrimp and scallops tossed in Pernod and saffron cream sauce. There’s also the classic veal parmesan."

"Nikolai’s Roof, which sits atop the Hilton Atlanta, boasts world-class dining: It was the first restaurant in the Southeastern U.S. to receive the coveted Four Star Award from AAA, and has held onto the honor for 27 consecutive years (longer than any other restaurant in Atlanta). The fine dining menu presents modern American cuisine with Russian influences, more than 900 wine options, and signature house-infused vodkas. Swanky sophisticated white-gloved dinner service with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline is offered Tuesday through Saturday."
