Come Saturday or Sunday, or any given day, most Atlantans choose to bypass breakfast altogether and opt for the ever-popular brunch options around town.

Mixing the savory with the sweet, your taste buds will thrive in this breakfast/lunch mash-up meal. Since the melding of those meals are such an Atlanta favorite, we asked our readers to select which brunch dish is a taste above the rest on the Atlanta restaurant scene.

There's something about the Comfy Chicken Biscuit at Home Grown that gives our readers a warm and fuzzy feeling. If you've ever had this soul-soothing dish, then you know what all the fuss is about. Next time you order this fluffy buttermilk biscuit topped with sausage gravy and fried chicken, be sure to punch the wall counter near the register which tallies up all of the Comfy Chicken Biscuits ever sold.

The Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict at Canoe in Cobb County came in close third, and for good reason. This indulgent dish will leave you satisfied yet hungry for more. It might even become your favorite go-to brunch dish.

Imagine a buttermilk waffle topped with crispy fried chicken and smothered in chili maple glaze, and you've got our third winning dish at Buttermilk Kitchen located in Buckhead. It's a Southern delight done right.

All of our nominees were chosen because they are the best of the best, so you'd be missing out if you didn't eat your way through each of them. Here are the other must-order dishes for brunch enthusiasts: Flat Iron Steak and Eggs at Flying Biscuit Cafe (Multiple Locations), Alison's Famous Pimento Cheese Omelette at Sun In My Belly (DeKalb), Fried Green Tomato BLT at West Egg Cafe (Intown), Classic Shrimp Po'Boy at Folk Art (Intown) and Big Papa's Double Beef Patti at Serpas (Intown).


Atlanta doesn't disappoint in the dining department. Here are five breakfasts that hit the spot.

There are few things better than dining on your brunch al fresco. These three outdoor brunches prove the scenery is almost as important as the food.

We like you, so here are five of the best bottomless brunch drinks deals and steals in town.
