According to the poll "What's your favorite diner in Atlanta?" Waffle House tops the list, gobbling up its competition with 135 votes. Second is, well, some unknown place—the "other" category took second place with 97 votes. The remainder of the restaurant votes rounded out like this: Silver Skillet (78 votes), Thumbs Up (70 votes) and Hi-Five (64 votes).

What time does Waffle House close? Oh, it doesn’t. Eat anytime. #Winning.
