I've been waiting for this place to open for a while. They're on week one of being open, and I finally got to come in. I was really hoping that they would have some really good fried chicken. Or some good southern fried catfish. They don't, and I was kind of a little sad. :-( Then I looked at their menu closely and realized they had a lot of yummy sounding things on the menu. The server (Hunter) was amazing and recommended a burger. I got the mushroom cheese Swiss burger, and all I can say is it's maybe the best burger I've ever had! The meat is amazing in size, which is amazing. I am so impressed with the service and the food that I will definitely be back! Oh, and apparently, they're going to have a full bar in one week for those folks who like to have shots of tequila at 8:00 a.m. in the morning. And lastly, the story is pretty amazing, too!

This was the second time we've been here and the food was excellent again! Pictured are the bacon wrapped plantains, Denver omelet, and the roast beef sandwich. The plantains were a great balance for sweet and savory, Pat liked the dipping sauces, but I didn't need them. Pat liked his omelet and devoured it quickly. The pot roast was nice and tender with great flavor paired well with the slightly salty mayo. Not pictured is the banana fosters cheese cake, I didn't have enough self-control for that photo, sorry. I do recommend this place in general, but especially for Gluten-free people, there are tons of options for everyone.

We were able to walk in and sit down with no wait on a Sunday morning. Service was fantastic. My daughter asked for pancakes with whip cream and a cherry and our amazing waitress made it into a smiley face pancake! Made her day! Food was delicious 10/10 recommend hitting up this place!

lThe food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! I almost hesitate to share just how good everything is because I fear that one day, it might not be the same incredible intimate experience I've come to love with no crowd at the door! . The fast, friendly service makes you want to tip generously, and today we were spoiled by Jen, our wonderful hostess. She clearly understood my request for fresh, buttery, melting pancakes, which were served steaming hot. For my meal, I chose the croissant sandwich, while my husband enjoyed an omelette. We've also had dinner here, where the meatloaf and veggies were delightful. The prices are great, providing excellent value for the quality of food and service. Being able to get in and out without a wait is definitely worth an extra tip for the servers. Everyone, including the owner, makes it a point to ensure you are well taken care of. This place deserves five stars for its fantastic food and excellent service!!!

Came here for a bday brunch and from the pictures I had high expectations. My expectations were met! I had a side of French toast and the steak & eggs. The grilled onions and peppers are a must with the potatoes! We were a large group and the food was served together and fairly quickly. Jennifer provided amazing service and quickly as well. I've experienced several locations for brunch in Atlanta, but this place was better than anything in the city. Thank goodness I live close. We'll be back!

Good morning! This quickly became my new favorite spot. The restaurant looked so pretty and elegant, I loved the angels around the facility. The food was amazing!! I got an almond milk iced latte with the cinnamon French toast, BACON PLATANOS FRITOS, strawberry cheesecake French toast with country fried steak and freshly made biscuit and YES it actually tastes homemade and sOoo delicious! Thank you Hunter for providing amazing service! We will definitely be returning for dinner! I saw some other dishes I’d like to try!

A little off the beaten path but well worth it. This will be our new go to place after church. Food was definitely delicious a step up from your average diner. The ingredients are definitely fresh and they seem to cook with intentionality. Glad we found 5 Spot Cafe. We now come several times a month.
