Best Banana Cream Pie ever!!!!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMClassicOnce you visit, you will always go back. Its a classic. Buckhead Diner is a fun, vibrant place, where the food is always good.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMBuckhead Diner ALWAYS Good.We have been going here at least twice a year for 20+ years and it never disappoints. A great food menu, drink menu and wait staff. Our only complaint this time is that our blue cheese chips were barely warm..but since this is first time in 20 years that our chips were not perfect we will be back. They have old fashion diner food and drinks as well as an upscale wine list, half bottles of champagne and an upscale menu. Seriously, if you have never been, you need to go, you won't be disappointed. Lunch, Brunch or Dinner, they are all good, trust me, I have been to all of them!! Bon Appetit Y'all!5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMDidn't disappointReviews for Buckhead Diner are across the map so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is basically an expensive diner with upscale atmosphere. The food was good, the service was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed brunch. I read one review that blasted the service and servers--to me the service was the best part. Everyone we dealt with was great.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBuckhead dinerSeated right away. Service excellent. Food great. Very noisy. Fre desert for husbands birthday.

This is a must visit dining experience if you're in Atlanta. Recommended to me by a local. We almost passed on it as it looks like an old Johnny Rockets on the outside. Inside - looks like a fine dining restaurant and the food backed that up. Outstanding!!

All the food was amazing and the service couldn't be beat!
We were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday a day early, and told our server. He brought out a banana cream pie complete with candles and happy birthday on the plate. It was such a kind gesture! It certainly made the night. Note: do not blow out the candles hard. I was covered in powdered sugar a coconut flakes!

This is a classic Art Deco diner exceptionally well maintained with an interior to behold in rich woods and Art Deco decor. Serice is outstanding and they appreciate your business. It's comfort food.

The three of us all had different selections ranging from sole to braised ribs.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMLook no FurtherBuckhead Diner is one of my favorite places to eat.

We waited approximately 20 min for our table which is exactly what the maitre'd had told us to expect. Our server was excellent and our food was very good ~ not outstanding ~ but good enough. Our son was celebrating his birthday and he was brought a nice piece of banana cream pie which was plenty big enough to share.

Ease of access for elderly is appreciated. Service is good without being in your face. Needs were met before asked for. Noise level accelerated as groups arrived and the hour got later. That was to be expected for this popular spot for families and friends.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent all around... FabulousExcellent all around...
Fabulous waiter as always.
I forget about this place and need to get it back on my radar!3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMIt has been a few years sinceIt has been a few years since I have eaten at the Buckhead Diner. My son and I had an amazing meal. We had the calamari appetizer which was prepared perfectly. Next, we split the Caesar salad. It was fresh, vibrant and dressed perfectly. The star of the night was the shrimp and grits. We both had it and we're so pleased. It could have not have been better. To top it off the staff was attentive and focused on making the meal a perfect memory. We will return the next time we are in Atlanta. The Buckhead Diner is not to be missed!3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic drinks, appetizers,Fantastic drinks, appetizers, dinner & dessert.

Very disappointed that we were celebrating our 42nd anniversary, put it in the reservation, but they did not even acknowledge it. I said something to them about it on the way out, and they were sorry for forgetting it. That was it. We ended up celebrating at Starbucks (coffee) and going by Publix for an elegant dessert.

My friends and I decided to go here because the menu was looking gooooddd! I knew exactly what I wanted to order from the restaurant week specials but when I got there, I ended up ordering the Crab Cakes when I got there. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus which make for a great combination. The food was good, the environment was busy and all types of people where there (business, date night, girls night). I enjoyed BD and I'd go again.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a favorite. KayoteAlways a favorite. Kayote was our server, and was excellent! Food was very good, we enjoyed the 2 for 25 special. Call ahead seating is a plus. We were seated in less than 5 minutes.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service, was able toGreat service, was able to have table waiting, it was my wife's birthday and restaurant knew before we arrived.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMI don't understand the pointI don't understand the point of priority seating - we arrived about 10 min prior to our time and still had to wait approx 40-45 min after the arranged time. Since it was a 9pm seating time, I think if we had walked in, we would have had the same wait time. The restaurant didn't seem overly busy, so I'm not really sure why we had to wait so long.
However, the meal and service was wonderful and we will go back again.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good comfort food. EvenVery good comfort food. Even though restaurant was packed with people waiting, we were seated at our reservation time and the service was very attentive from the waiter and management. Parking was valet only for $2 excluding tip, which was fine. The valet attendant was very polite and quick. Overall we enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. I would come here again to try other menu items. Make a reservation even on short notice since it is very popular.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways great. The managersAlways great.
