    Recently featured on chef Bourdain's Layover with good reason! The nickle & dime shop in the back is fun to explore and adds to that home-cooked meal feeling but the food is what makes you come back!

    Southern comfort food at its finest. Really great small town place with an artsy feel, everything breakfast should be! The wait staff is friendly and real chill matching the quirky vibe of the place

    Be prepared to loosen your belt a notch before digging into the Comfy Chicken Biscuit at Home Grown. No wonder why it's one of CL's 100 dishes to eat before you kick the bucket. Read more

    A sandwich with flair — Grant’s Stack with pimiento cheese, fried green tomatoes and bacon on Texas toast — adds up to more than the sum of its parts. Read more

    One of the best/"homey" breakfast restaurants that I've ever been too. A lot of the food is your basic stuff but the service and food was simply great and tasty. Pancake was to die for

    Fresh, local ingredients cooked like your grandma would have, and at affordable prices - this is truly a neighborhood hangout and some of the best down home food in Atlanta.

    The comfy chicken biscuit is incredible. It's not as ridiculously sized as some of the other offerings, so don't feel bad getting a side of cheese grits.

    The standout dish in the morning is the Comfy Chicken Biscuit, a massive plate with a boneless fried chicken breast served over a thick, open biscuit, all swamped in sausage gravy. Read more

    Home Grown is a breakfast favorite among Atlanta's eaters and chefs alike. And if it hosts Senate campaign events that feature former presidents, it must be important. Read more

    We’ve all been there; you imbibed a bit too much on bourbon the night before and need food. When that happens, we head straight to Home Grown on Memorial. Remedy: Comfy Chicken Biscuit. Read more

    Everything is good but for breakfast especially is the Comfy. It is a great big open-faced chicken biscuit covered in gravy.

    The biggest pancakes in the world, but good big pancakes. Don't order too much. You won't be able to finish your breakfast. You've been warned.

    Grits are trending this week, and what better place than Homegrown. If you wanna go the classic route go with the cheese grits, but if you want something a little different, try the grits pie.

    The breakfast enchiladas and the grits are amazing. The service is fast, the staff is kind, and there is a cute man playing the xylophone in the background. Love it!

    With breakfast eats, there's always a choice between savory or sweet. Sometimes it's hard to choose; try the B.e.S.T. French Toast Breakfast Sandwich to satisfy both of these cravings.

    The Blue Collar meatloaf portion nearly fed me for a week. Be sure to get the spicy version for an extra kick! Fantastic

    Everyone gets the comfy chicken biscuit, but don't ignore the other dishes like Lynne's Stack - salmon patties over fried green tomatoes and spinach. Get it Blue Collar style.

    Good for for not too much money. The Kevin's breakfast is so interesting cheese grits with eggs and chili on top. Yummy but stomach will hate me in 30 minutes.

    Don't blame Home Grown for your expanding waistline. Their food is both delicious and nutritious. Eating more food than you burn results in weight gain no matter how healthy your food choices are!!

    This place must be a pilgrimage requirement for hipsters, because looking around the dining room I saw no fewer than 10 bearded and suspender-wearing clones discussing vintage woodworking tools.

    Make sure to get here early for brunch, or you'll have to wait an hour. The pancakes are huge and very delicious.
