From Citysearch

The Scene
This nostalgic, long-standing spot has red vinyl booths, a long counter covered with photos of film stars and movie posters, and naturally, diner-food favorites. It's an Andersonville institution, drawing an all-ages crowd that lines up out the door on weekend mornings.

The Food
Breakfast is served all day and includes a complimentary plate of fresh fruit. That's about as light as this place gets: Jumbo five-egg omelettes come loaded with simple ham and cheese or swanky white cheddar and asparagus. Pancake stacks are enormous and fluffy. French toast comes six triangles thick, sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with warm maple syrup. Most breakfasts include Pauline's potatoes, seasoned taters grilled with peppers and onions. For lunch, it's burgers and fries, grilled cheese or a standout turkey Reuben. Save room for one of the fountain favorites: thick milk shakes, old-fashioned sodas and banana splits.
