The breakfast was pretty good and filling. It was a little wait but not too bad for a Saturday. The food came out quick and hot. My hot chocolate was pretty tasty and filled to the top. The serve my family and I had was on it.
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!!
Stopped by this diner on a Monday afternoon before hoping on a flight to leave town. It was busier than I expected it to be on a Monday afternoon! My party added our names to the waitlist and waited for a while to be seated but it was worth it! The food was amazing! I had the banana nut French toast with veggie sausages. Our waitress was lovely! The host staff wasn’t the best but I understand due to the business he couldn’t pay us much attention. When they reached out to let us know our table was ready he basically pointed to our table and we sat ourselves. Overall the food was amazing so it made it all worth it!

Came here on a Monday morning around 9:30am. There was plenty of free street parking available which we took advantage of and there was also a small parking lot alongside the building but was full when we arrived.
My family and I were greeted as soon as we came in and our server came. They told us we could sit anywhere we liked and there was no waiting period.
The menu is available through QR code. I ordered the fish and shrimp combo; it came with a piece of fried fish, maybe fried shrimp, grits, 2 eggs (cooked your way), and bread. It was A LOT of food but it was cooked perfectly. The grits were cooked just as long as my grandma cooks them!!
The rest of my family chose the option to built a plate. One ordered double dipped French toast, country sausage, bacon and mixed fruit. Our two little ones shared a banana nut pancake, a fresh fruit bowl, chicken sausage, and apple juice.
The food came out in a good amount of time, was served hot and tasted fresh.
The restaurant was decorated appropriately throughout. It had a nice country vibe. The bathroom was well stocked and clean. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Our server was a very nice woman who was always there if we needed anything. We never had to look for her which I appreciated.
When ready to pay, we were able to pay through the same QR code where we saw the menu. So if it gets busy, as long as you’re paying electronically, you don’t have to wait for the server to come back.
Great place, great food, great service.
It was my first time eating there. Right way I was greeted with warm atmosphere and good music. The coffee has free refills and the food was great! I will be coming back. The food doesn’t take long either. And their pricing is alright. 😊… The waitresses were polite too, with eye contact and smiles!
The food was great. It wasn’t to salty or over-seasoned! I’d give it an 7/10 as far as taste! I ordered the grilled chicken wings, catfish, eggs, & potatoes. I also had french toast too. My whole group ordered the french toast too. My sister had shrimp & grits, as well, which was absolutely delicious, 10/10… And my bestfriend ordered sweet potato fries & some other stuff lol, we all ordered quite a few things. The sweet tea & lemonade mixed together was absolutely amazing too! Our waiter was awesome to; he did a great job. It was my birthday so I definitely wanted to go enjoy myself at a nice restaurant establishment. The only problem was the fruit flies, knats, & things… Very irritating when trying to eat. But the space is so small & cozy so I definitely understand but, maybe they could try to do something about it or to prevent it. Idk, that is my only complaint! Everything else was good. 👏🏾👏🏾😀😀
Right after arriving in on an early morning flight to Atlanta, Georgia from LaGuardia, NY Airport, my sister drove me here to Thumbs Up Diner and I was in breakfast heaven. The catfish with grits was not playing. Delicious! I Highly recommend because you will not be disappointed. 👋🏾🖤
First time in Atlanta and first time here! The food was amazing and I want to come back again! I had the fried fish and shrimp and grits and was blown away by how good the fish was! The shrimp and grits weren’t spicy and tasted more like dinner. Not your traditional brunch shrimp and grits. The server was very attentive and accommodating to our big party.
Really good service and great cheap food! Ideal if you want a diner breakfast. Loved the French toast, chicken fingers, pancakes and egg sandwich biscuit (not pictured). Restaurant is cash only but there’s an atm in the back
This is a cute diner! I really enjoyed the Skillet Heap! The pancakes were also fantastic! Our server was so welcoming.
Cute dinner place in Roswell.
I had a brunch on Tuesday morning. It was busy but staff were very friendly and the food was great!
Great price for big portion of food.
Definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in roswell.
Great food, great service. Love the authentic, home, atmosphere. Walls are patched up, seats are barely operational but it all comes together to produce a nice vibe. Will definitely be going back soon!
Excellent breakfast all around! Absolutely cute diner with great service. There are some traditional diner counter seats, booths, and some regular tables. There is also a men’s and women’s bathroom.
We ordered a chicken finger breakfast biscuit sandwich with a side of gravy, a salmon and egg scramble with an everything bagel, and two buckwheat pancakes with maple syrup. Everything was good but the star of the show was the buckwheat pancake. I’ve never had a buckwheat pancake before but it was SOO GOOD. The pancakes were slightly nutty due to the buckwheat and they were soo moist and tender. Regular flour pancakes cannot compare to how moist and tender they were. Also, they were moist but not overly buttery or oily. I did not feel heavy after eating them. I do not know what sorcery they used to make them but I could have eaten 10 more pancakes.
Also, there is a small parking lot next to the restaurant but there is also plenty of street parking.
I loveeee thumbs up! I actually order online a lot, especially on Sundays. However, if you have time it’s nice to go in and sit down to eat. The diner is always clean and has a welcoming/ homey feel and once you taste the food your soul will be singing. I usually get the shrimp and grits/ with chicken sausage. It has a name, but is not on the menu to order online that’s why I always forget when I order it in person(LOL). Another one of my favorites is the fish and shrimp platter. Seasoned to perfection.. the food literally tastes like you’re at a fish fry back home! The ultimate seaside is also amazing! The grits are amazing and the customer service is always so great! My boyfriend’s favorite is the French toast and that’s literally what he orders every time! So good!!! Try it out because you won’t regret it.
***Friendly Disclaimer: CASH ONLY*** (they have an ATM though)
My friends and I had Saturday brunch here. We parked on the street but there is parking availability next to the restaurant. We were seated right away and treated with care. Our food was awesome! Shrimp and grits was mildly spicy and extremely flavorful. No shell or tail on my shrimp. 🙌🏾Major bonus points! My guests loved the blueberry preserves and the fry on their fish. Thumbs up diner gets a thumbs up and a return visit from me!
This place is bomb! Tried shrimp and grits for the first time, and it changed my life. Delicious,comforting, and just the right level of spicy. The food came out quick. Our server Faith was so nice and good at her job. Thanks for a great experience, 10/10 would come back.
French toast was so fluffy and the grits were amazing!! I found this cute little place on a whim when my sister and I were craving some brunch. Only thing that caught us off guard is they only take cash. Thankfully there is an atm in house. Would def recommend for my brunch lovers.
My friends and I had brunch at Thumbs up on Saturday and the food was very good. Although the wait was extremely long, once we were seated our food came out very quickly and it was hot and delicious and very reasonably priced even in today’s economy. One of the only gripes I have is that this is a cash only restaurant. I didn’t realize that until I saw the sign out front. They do have an ATM inside but you’ll have to pay a fee. Other than that I would definitely go back.
Great food (I especially loved their cream cheese scrambled eggs) and good service. Great place to stop and eat if you're visiting the MLK Jr. Historic Sites or attending Ebenezer Baptist- very close and convenient!
