Does the thought of brunch make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? This is precisely why the Comfy Chicken Biscuit at Home Grown is the Best of Atlanta top choice, as voted by our readers.

Next time you order this fluffy buttermilk biscuit topped with sausage gravy and fried chicken, be sure to punch the wall counter near the register which tallies up all of the Comfy Chicken Biscuits ever sold.

If your sweet tooth aches for something decadent, look no further than the second place winner at, Buttermilk Kitchen's Angel Food Cake French Toast. This dish is soaked in strawberry syrup and topped with whipped cream cheese, candied almonds and mint. The angel food cake absorbs the syrup like a perfect sponge, creating a symphony of flavor.

At third place, but no less delicious, is the shrimp and grits dish at Sun In My Belly. This hidden gem will light up your world in more ways than one, so head on over soon to explore their full menu.

Tied for fourth place are the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict at Canoe in Cobb County and Meggxican Wrap at Flying Biscuit Cafe.
