Biscuits and sausage gravy · Atlanta
Southern flaky buttermilk biscuits split and smothered in pork-sausage cream gravy black with pepper. The defining Atlanta diner breakfast and Sunday-morning brunch staple.
Biscuits and gravy is the foundational Southern breakfast, with documented origins in 19th-century Appalachian and Piedmont kitchens. The dish became canonical at Atlanta's Waffle House (founded 1955 in Avondale Estates) and the city's diner counters. Atlanta Breakfast Club, Thumbs Up Diner and Mary Mac's Tea Room serve the modern Atlanta benchmark; the dish remains the cheap-and-filling Atlanta breakfast classic.
