      Went for breakfast on a recommendation from the hotel. It was about 1.5 miles away but well worth the hike. I ordered the Sassy Scramble - scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, cream cheese and onions. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had!! The service was great as well - fast and friendly. I wish I could go back tomorrow. Cash only!

      I came here with on a whim with my friend for breakfast on a Thursday. You can park in the back and they validate your parking for 3 hours. That's a plus!

      The food was good only thing the coffee was like warm I prefer my coffee a bit hotter.

      I'll definitely come back and yes I recommend!!

      Huge portions and longer waits. But it's oh so worth it. We lucked out and found to seats at the bar. Service was fast and funny. Lots of unique and fun people working here. Good vibes. You can tell when people are happy. It's contagious.

      It was a great way the start the day.

      I'm glad we found this place. My gf will be frequent visitors whenever we're in town.

      Worth the wait...

      We had the best time at Thumb's Up Diner for brunch. Our server was so friendly and attentive. He even kept my husband's coffee filled all. the. time.
      The food was delicious. The new love of my life is the low country heap.
      Thank you, TUD! We will be back soon!

      The service was kind and welcoming from the second we walked into the door. They managed the line very efficiently. We ended up sitting at the bar/countertop and we still got phenomenal service. We had breakfast pancakes and eggs and coffee. Everything tasted great. I would definitely go back again. This is definitely a good time diner.

      Food is always good here, well prepared, generous portions and biscuits to die for. My only complaint is they don't tell you there's an up charge for any substitutions. You don't find out until you get the bill. Seems to me, they should tell you there are no substitutions without an additional charge. I ordered grilled pork chops plate. It came with a biscuit, scrambled eggs and grits. I asked to substitute the potatoes for the grits. There was no mention that there would be an extra $2.00 charge. If I had known, I would have ordered differently. Next time I will know. Have eaten there many times, just never looked at ticket until today. Lesson learned!

      Consistently good service experience, consistently good food and the specials are always some that you can try if you want to step out of your comfort zone/ "regular" order. Definitely will be ordering the rise and shine again. It is chicken sausage heavy and I have no complaints about it.

      I was able to get on the waiting list via Yelp which made the process much easier than signing up and waiting outside. When we arrived I went inside to check in, I was greeted upon entry and was advised that I would receive a text when the table was ready! We were able to park on the side of the building by scanning a QR code. Once I received a text we entered the restaurant and were seated immediately at that time I also received the QR code so that we could continue to receive free parking! The atmosphere was nice and cozy! The service was excellent, the food was fresh, tasty and plentiful! I would definitely return!

      Decided to visit this gem on a mid Friday morning. The wait time was 15-20 minutes. The service was great and the food was bomb. The opted for Catfish and Grits. I mean it was so flavorful. The fish was seasoned to perfection. I also split French Toast with a friend. Definitely worth a try if your in the Atlanta area.
