Where to Eat Late at Night in Atlanta
Everyone loves a midnight snack, even when that snack is at 3 a.m. And, although there is nothing wrong with 24-hour diner food, there are some "out of the box" late-night dining options. So, whether you are heading home from a late night on the town and need a little nosh, or heading out to grab a late night bite, give these 24-hour eateries a try.
Mama’s Cocina Latina, Buckhead
Mama’s Cocina Latina offers Mexican fare 24 hours a day! If you're looking for an after-hours breakfast, choose the Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Plate. You'll get fried eggs, bacon, refried beans and pico de gallo. If you want something a bit more hardy, I'd go for the Sizzling Fajitas – this is a platter piled high with rice, Burracho beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, shredded cheese, grilled onion, tortillas AND your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp.
R. Thomas' Deluxe Grill, Atlanta
This city oasis has a menu you wouldn't expect to find at a late-night diner. The R. Thomas' Deluxe Grill menu includes fresh-to-order juices and smoothies, free-range meats and organic produce, and an impressive list of vegetarian, vegan, macrobiotic, gluten free and raw food items. And yes, this is available 24 hours a day! If you're feeling adventurous, go for the Ginger Crusted Wild Ahi Tuna: Wild-caught ahi tuna seared rare and served over sweet potato, leek and salmon reduction with fennel asparagus salad and shoestring ginger beets; I would.
Night Owls Rejoice
Waffle House, Marietta Diner and Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand (24 hours on weekends) offer everything from waffles and hashbrowns (order them smothered, covered and topped), to spinach pie and barbecue ribs. You'll even find chicken Philly cheesesteaks and lasagna.
