Home grown GA Restaurant - (Near Atlanta, GA)

5 /5 Steve S: Out son who lives in the area had been wanting us to eat here and enjoy real Southern Comfort food. The restaurant is a quaint restaurant on Memorial Drive in Atlanta. Once arrived, we were immediately seated. There was a bar to sit at as well as table seating. The waitress was as sweet as can be and very helpful. Nothing like Southern Hospitality. The restaurant has the feeling of a simpler time. The menu is breakfast/ lunch. I chose the fried chicken on a biscuit with sausage gravy (Comfy Chicken Biscuit). It was so good. The coffee was almost addicting. Portions are huge. I did bring half home. Love to return next time I am in Atlanta

5 /5 She Eats He Eats: She eats. He eats. And sometimes my plate wins. We visited Homegrown for breakfast and the food absolutely delivered. I ordered the country fried steak with scrambled eggs and cheese grits and it was the standout. The steak was crispy, tender, and smothered in rich brown gravy. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the cheese grits were smooth and comforting. The fried green tomatoes were the best I have ever had. Perfectly fried with an incredible horseradish ranch that made them unforgettable. The biscuit with apple butter was warm, fluffy, and so good. I also tried the salmon biscuit. The flavor was there, but the salmon patties were a little too bready for my preference. He ordered the steak hash and still admitted my country fried steak was the better choice. Important allergy note. I have a mushroom allergy and it was clearly noted on my receipt. There is a table all purpose sauce that tasted amazing to him. He asked about the ingredients and discovered it contains mushroom extract. I did not taste it and was glad he checked before I did. Overall, Homegrown is a great Atlanta breakfast spot with strong flavors and thoughtful cooking. Just make sure to ask about ingredients if you have food allergies.

4 /5 Shannon E: Super charming diner. Very friendly severs. They are happy to modify dishes and substitute as needed. Very affordable prices, good value and portion sizes. My husband loves the comfy chicken biscuit. While they do not have gluten free bread or waffles, they can accommodate various entries. I had the 2-egg, bacon dish and subbed out the grits and biscuit for home fries and strawberries.

5 /5 Weston Leonard: On the Michelin Guide was a little spot called Home Grown GA a low-key joint tucked into a nondescript old neighborhood. Inside, it was everything a true diner should be: worn floors, mismatched chairs, and that unmistakable smell of bacon grease and coffee that’s soaked into the walls over the decades. The place had character, the kind you can’t fake. The line was out the door, but luck was on our side and we snagged a couple of seats at the old counter, the kind that’s seen at least fifty years of elbows, coffee cups, and morning stories. Lonnie sat back, people-watching, taking in the wonderfully eclectic mix of regulars, artists, families, and travelers everyone from every walk of life. We both went for The Comfy Chicken Biscuit, an open-faced biscuit topped with fried chicken and blanketed in rich pork sausage gravy. I couldn’t resist adding an order of fried green tomatoes to share. When the plates hit the counter, they were stacked high comfort food in its purest form. The biscuit was buttery and flaky, the chicken crisp and tender, and the gravy…the best I’ve ever had. Honest food, made with care and pride. We left stuffed, happy, and ready to head home. Two incredible meals this weekend worlds apart in style, refined and artful, the other soulful and humble. Both unforgettable in their own way.

4 /5 Marci Fradkin: A simply delightful place with not fancy food, but great food. With really interesting decor and a very diverse clientele with a really cool coffee shop and art on the wall for sale. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best fried green tomatoes I’ve ever had.
