Just had a wonderful brunch at Bab's! It's the perfect ending to a wonderful weekend getaway in Atlanta. The host/manager Randy was awesome! The epitome of southern hospitality!!! Can't wait to come back!!!

This was my first time going to Babs and it won't be my last! When I first arrived, I was greeted by Randy. There was about a 30 minute wait and it would have been longer but a party of 7 left since they were in a rush. I had the Athenian toast (similar to french toast) and my boyfriend has the Greek omelette. Each entree came with fruit, toast, and potatoes so your plate really is loaded. The overall atmosphere was very homey and rustic so it's comforting and the staff makes it super welcoming. Our food came out in ten minutes tops and everything was perfect. Well worth the wait and I definitely am coming back. Only downside is that you have to pay for parking but if you go on a Sunday, then you should have no worries. After we finished our meals, we went up to pay and Randy asked about desserts but I said I couldn't because I was way too full and so he offered me a brownie to go and told me Happy Valentine's Day (such a sweetheart!) If I could, I would give more than 5 stars just because the customer service was that great which matched the food and the atmosphere. The only way you could have a bad time at Babs is by having absolutely no type of sense of humor at all. Randy is awesome and he will start your day off right!

Great food and service. Accommodating staff and friendly. Whomever answered the phone was not very nice but once we arrived everything was great. I had The Olympian and it was delicious. Parking available right out front.

Best brunch in Atlanta. The better known diners and breakfast spots charge higher prices for lesser quality food. This place will take care of you, you won't be disappointed. The manager on shift, Stephen, waited on me. He suggested the award-winning crispy omelette special, a ham-tomatoes-cheddar-tator-tot-masterpiece. He preferred it with turkey sausage instead of ham, so I ordered it that way. Delicious. Stephen infused honey from the mountains of Georgia with jalapeÃ±os and anaheim peppers from his garden... the result is INCREDIBLE. It literally brought me to my feet and over to the kitchen so that I could tell him how impressed I was by the flavor explosion. Try some on their fresh, thin, crispy multigrain bread. The Moroccan stew is off the charts--nice and spicy, served with two fried eggs hanging out in the broth. Incredible. This dining experience is what the 5 star reviews should be saved for. I often find myself eating somewhere and thinking, 'I mean, there's nothing WRONG with the meal...' but feeling a bit hesitant to give it that high of a rating. It's nice to remind myself how good a meal can be. Sorry to those nearby restaurants whose reviews just dropped a star.

Small but nice. Waiters are friendly. I went for breakfast on Saturday morning. Their serving portions are big, you get value for your money here

Great place for Sunday brunch. Staff treats you with a respectful but warm familiarity. Even waiting for a table is enjoyable - small waiting area where you can peruse art books of Frido Kahlo, etc. while sipping good coffee. (Better option: Make a reservation! It's a small space) Moroccan stew with egg topper was a kasbah-like treat. Chef seems to like exploring savory options- to the benefit of dinners.

My sister and I dropped in here after reading good Yelp reviews. We both LOVED this quaint little place. The entrance is not necessarily inviting, as you head down into what looks like a garage. However, inside we found an eclectic dÃ©cor and a snarky hostess that appeared to have popped out of a sitcom. First and foremost, the coffee was very good (an indication of the overall quality I would propose) and the food was exactly as we had hoped. This place will undoubtedly be on my list of return-to brunch places the next time I'm in Atlanta.

After reading great reviews we decided to stop here for Sunday brunch before we got on the road to head back to DC...and it was WELL WORTH IT! It is a smaller location and feels like you are eating in someone else's home, which can be a hit or miss for most people but it felt more cozy to us! The food portions are fairly large and great for the price. If you are going to eat here, have a sense of humor! I see the reviews talking about how rude Randy and the other workers are but they are completely UNTRUE. The staff is GREAT, unless you really have something stuck up your ass- but if that's the case, just stay home and make your own food.

The menu is very unique. I really like it, they keep it short and simple with only about 5 items on the menu. They don't serve alcohol before 1230, which is ok but I kinda had my heart set on a Bloody Mary! The ambiance is neat, kind of has a small town feel to it. Decorations are from who knows where, looks like they hit a big garage sale. Haha. The food is very delicious! Well cooked and tasty. The combination of flavors is really exquisite. Would recommend, but still new here so I have a lot more places to try!

Jane J.

Pretty disappointed. Made reservations for outside and still had to wait for a table when we were eventually seated indoors. One of our dishes was cold and not cooked all the way through and the food was just so-so. The best part of meal was the blood orange mimosa (which cost as much as one of the entrees). The wait staff was also just sort of rude and brusque. I won't be back. There are way too many excellent brunch places in this city. Also it cost about $50 for three people, which is a little ridiculous considering none of us really liked our meals.

Hands-down, my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Atlanta. Food is always fresh and delicious, and if I remember right, the majority of their ingredients is actually grown on their own farm. They have a standard menu, but I almost always get one of their specials, and have never been unsatisfied. Coffee is great too, and they have a nice outdoor seating area. The waiters are always pleasure!

Sarah B.

Food is incredible. I will be back again and again and again. The specials are where it's at, they change weekly and do not disappoint. I live blocks away from here with plenty of brunch opportunities on a Sunday but I have no use for any other place since I found Babs. Today it was shrimp cakes with runny eggs on top, wilted green salad with lemon dressing and their perfectly done red potatoes. I would give 5 stars except for the lack luster service I had today. Most of the servers are so friendly. However today my friend and I were interrupted twice while we were still eating with food on our plates by a female server asking to pick up the check which we hadn't even looked at yet. I understand that at big busy breakfast places it is lucrative to keep the door revolving, especially when there is a wait. However, this morning the place was half full and there was no line. In my humble opinion, being made to feel even slightly rushed this morning was off-putting. I wrote a quick polite note on the back of the check to let her know.

Great food, great service, fair price! We did a Google search for brunch midtown atlanta and found Babs. It looked like something we should try so we did and they delivered! The food was outstanding and the service was as well. 5 Stars all the way!

Andrea B.

I don't get the reviews. The host was rude and the service in general super slow. When we went they didn't have half the menu and they kind of laugh about it. The place is a dumb, not very clean and some of the walls were full of mold. I've never left a restaurant, but this time after the drinks I couldn't take it, and left.

Limited Menu selection for brunch. It could be cleaner (my coffee cup and utensils were dirty). Food tasted good, nothing out of ordinary.

This place has a reputation for having surly staff, but that wasn't the case during my recent visit. It's possible I'm just desensitized to social niceties having grown up a Yankee, but I found all the staff to be perfectly reasonable individuals. As far as I'm concerned, any waiter with the huevos magnificos to tell a female patron that she's "greedy" after polishing her plate clean is A-OK in my book. Just think of it as dinner and a show without the added cost. Food: The food at Bab's consists of stylized American breakfast and lunch fare. The menu is somewhat limited, but the available offerings are diverse and there's something that should please most casual diners with reasonable expectations. During my visit for Sunday brunch, I opted for the chicken sandwich with a side of fries. I can't say I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the offerings, but for the price and portion, I left satisfied. Service: Although the service was quick, the staff appeared somewhat disorganized. In particular, it doesn't appear that the staff are assigned to any particular table or section of the restaurant. At last count, there were four different people who tended to our table during brunch, including a request for our orders by another waitress after they had already been placed. Sweet potato fries were also served with my entree after I clearly articulated to the waitress that I wanted regular fries. Atmosphere: The atmosphere takes some getting used to, particularly if you're accustomed to the meticulous patios and urban chic decor of many of the other brunch spots in the area. Babs is basically in the basement of an old house and the decor would best be described as eclectic - that being said, this is a perfect place for a casual brunch out with friends, not a place to impress a client or potential love interest. Cost: Appropriately priced for the food quality and area. Brunch options were approximately $10 each. For the most part, you could easily get out of here for less than $20 a person, including tip - which is an absolute steal in this section of Midtown. Other: Babs can be somewhat difficult to find for first time visitors. It's located on the side of the house that's situated between the Fifth Ivory and Takorea - on Juniper in between 5th and 6th streets. Parking is available in the lot directly outside the restaurant, or free of charge along the surrounding side streets. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 8:30AM-3PM, Saturday, 8:30AM-5PM, and Sunday, 9AM-2:30PM. The restaurant offers a themed brunch every Sunday.

Went for their Sunday brunch - some major pluses, and minor downsides, and overall probably a 3.5 star experience. Pluses: Food was delcious and unique; lot's of options and variety; the wait staff (and whole place) was down to earth and friendly; really cool environment and atmosphere. Downsides: Not very much outdoor seating (would've been even more of a downside if we hadn't snagged one of the three or four outdoor seats); the location is right by a police or fire stations or something so loud sirens must have raced passed at least five times over the course of the meal (not really Babs fault, obviously); the portion size of the food was enough for a person; but I wouldn't have minded more to take home; the PRICE, I get that it's a trendy place, downtown, and it's brunch, but I spent almost $20 on coffee and one of the normal to low priced breakfasts - this is probably what would keep me from coming back. Nevertheless I'll probably be back, since I live down the neighborhood...

I've got nothing bad to say about Babs. Great breakfast (came with a little fruit! Love it!), plenty of food, fair prices, decent service, etc. What the hell else do you want? The menu is not very big, but you'll be able to find something you want. Very quaint, cozy restaurant.

Sherry U.

Definitely a local place. Ambiance is relaxed. Busy but quick and friendly service. Good quality food. Omelets are over-stuffed with great ingredients. Nice change from your standard majority egg omelet. Fruit is not a chopped salad but nice big pieces of pineapple, cantaloupe, and orange. Cute interior. Not sure of the wait on a Sunday - we went on Saturday mid-morning. Reservations are welcome. Also, dog friendly !!

Cool, quirky place with a friendly, attentive, knowledgable waiter (manager?). I had the broccolini breakfast wrap on special, and it was very tasty. Prices were a little high for breakfast, but portions were huge and the ingredients were fresh. I don't drink coffee, but my friends do, and they said that the coffee was really great. This is not a place to go with a big group, but it's perfect for an intimate breakfast w/ 2-4 people.

I really want to like Babs because it is out our back door and it has so much potential! It teetrs between ok and really good. I have only been there for breakfast and both times had the spicy (bean) cakes which my boyfriend and I agree is the best thing we have tasted from there. Everything my boyfriend as ordered has been decent but his omelette seemed half-heartedly put together where all of one of the ingredients were completely on one side so he had to take it apart and even it out. The decor is fun- but could use a dusting. The people are nice and interesting. I will try it again in hopes that I just haven't been trying the right things!

Samantha J.

I had a bbq pork wrap & sweet potato fries here & both were delicious! The wrap had an Asian spin to it (the sauce was almost like hoisin sauce) & the sweet potato fries were just crispy enough. I wish I'd had room for dessert! Next time, for sure.

Thomas Z.

Didn't get the chance to eat here--the service attitude was enough to turn me away. I didn't say a full greeting and instead the waiter turned us away and pointed us towards a competitors restaurant. I can't speak for the food, but this place only deserves one star for their service.

I didn't eat breakfast today and in my 10am roundtable meeting at work. They talked about celebration parties/dinners, ribs, fried chicken, and catfish. I left the meeting super hungry and on a mission to find a hearty delicious meal. I remembered someone telling me about a place called Babs a few weeks ago and convinced my co-worker to join me. We both ordered the same thing because it sounded so amazing. Pulled pork, with 2 fried eggs over medium, between two pieces of spicy cornbread, served with the most delicious roasted parmesan potatoes I've ever had. The food came fast and looked as good as it tasted. The service was friendly and on point. I was even convinced to try the fresh out of the oven pineapple upside down cake. It did not disappoint! I am now here at my cube planning my next lunch to Babs while raving to anyone who will listen. I need to find a place to hide so I can take a quick nap before I fall asleep in the open.

Bab's is undoubtedly the best place for brunch if you live in or around this part of town. Great owner and service - fantastic food ; get the omelet.
(5)
Paul K.

Although the Crispy Omelette was very tasty, the weekday breakfast menu is very limited with only omelettes, eggs your way, or a bagel. So, if you know that you and your party want only eggs and toast, then maybe this will satisfy you. Given the rave reviews of brunch, and the overall impression I got from breakfast, I will return, but only for sunday brunch.

Keith K.

I usually don't try to rate low off any particular incident, but I had to give Babs a low score, after seeing the bartista doing some unsanitory actions, ( wiping a runny nose )that turned me off to doing anything more than having some coffee, and getting the check.
(2)
Hilary G.

I was looking forward to having brunch at Babs; however the person working at the counter informed me that he was unable to clean the table that was covered in pollen for us to eat outside. I could understand if it was busy but there were literally 2 other people in the restaurant. furthermore, if you have a patio should it not be set up to allow guest to dine outside.

The owners asked me to write another review because I did not give them 5 stars, but they know I really like the place. The food is very good, particularly the specials. I'll do a quick review. Stromboli - Heart attack for breakfast. Cheesiness is closer to godliness. Risotto - This is probably my favorite. You get eggs on top. What kind of a breakfast place does risotto? Smoked Salmon Omelette - Quite Good Toast - Also good, never overcooked. It is perfect to dip in my over easy eggs. Fruit - Always fresh Did I tell you that I really like this place? The service is funny and entertaining every time....And this is why it's really hard to not give this place 5 stars. The food is good and consistent, but it's still not the best in town. Dish for dish R. Thomas has you guys beat and a few other places that come to mind as well. IF ONLY Babs were open 24/7...I'd be drinking there at 2 A M on a Tuesday. This is my go to hangout spot when I want to be lazy in midtown and maybe get a drink. If I have a good friend in Atlanta, I will make it a point to take them here.

You'll love this cozy place for breakfast. The people are fun and friendly. The space is is an oasis in the city. The food is comforting and delicious, and they have a way with potatoes that makes you crave them fortnightly.

I've been here about 3-4 times with my boyfriend and every time has been a great experience. Although their selections are limited, it doesn't matter much because their food are just so delicious! Their sweet potato fries along with honey mustard and sriracha sauce is to die for! We always have to have a plate of that whenever we come. One time we came and it was busy they told us we could sit at the counter to wait so we asked if we can just sit and eat there and they were happy to let us do so. Our food came quick and they even gave us dessert on the house for being cooperative :) The perks of sitting at the counter in front is that we can ask for anything and they'll hand it over in a second and we were asked how we were doing numerous times. What can I say, it was just a great experience!

Wow. Babs is the best kept secret in Midtown Atlanta. I came here for lunch with my wife and a friend, and we were blown away by the service and food. The decor is just the right amount of quaint, our waiter was super nice and knowledgable, and the prices are amazing for the quality of food. I had a crunchy omelet with ham, cheese, tater tots and tomatoes. Simply awesome. You can tell Babs used quality ingredients and puts their all into their food. Ask about the origin of their name, too!

Ellie K.

Definitely a great place for the locals! The waitstaff was super friendly and personable whether you were a regular or a newbie like us. The service was CRAZY quick. Literally - we ordered and what felt like a few minutes later huge plates of food were in front of us. We were also seated right away, and we were able to bring my roommate's dog who got treated to multiple pieces of bacon! Definitely will be back.

Justin P.

Went to Babs for breakfast while in town for a short visit. Awesome food, service, and decore! You could tell a lot of TLC went into the food and restaurant. We got an omelet and the Irish oatmeal. Both were delish! Highly recommend going to Babs if you are close Midtown!

Really cramp. No selection on the menu that is appealing. Just your regular eggs, bacon, potatoes dish. Bland. Food was brought out to us on dirty dishes. Will not come again or recommend.

Good food, eclectic atmosphere. Not a lot of seating, so either make a reservation or expect to wait. Not good for large groups, but it's a good place for an intimate brunch with a few people. I had the salad, served with grilled chicken. It was good, but nothing special. My dining companions had the Bab's omelette, which they all devoured.

Jayme R.

Having tried Babs for the first time, everything is quite quaint upon first inspection. It has an old southern charm feel, aside from the tables being somewhat uncomfortably crammed next to each other. Our waitress was trying very hard and the food was very delicious, but the 2 star rating reflects the gentleman behind the counter. He was obviously in charge of seating people and running the cash register. He appeared to be overwhelmed, which resulted in him snapping at customers to go sit at particular tables and giving attitude to his fellow staff. The epitome of his unprofessionalism was when he snatched the iced coffee I was actively drinking and had in my mouth to add more ice to it... mind you I never asked for more ice. He then promptly slammed it back on our table and swished away. I would recommend this place, but if you see a guy behind the counter with liver spots... run!

Janine D.

Babs was absolutely phenomenal! My sister and I spent the night in Atlanta and were looking for a good breakfast place so we decided to check Babs out based on the Yelp reviews. The character, the food, Stephen King! All fantastic! Best coffee in ATL from Nicaragua and awesome mimosas as well! They even had Bloody Mary's with sake! And the food didn't miss a beat either...sweet potato fries with curry dipping sauce...YUM! Vegetarian Thai curry soup...YUM! Crunchy omelette special...YUM! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Rock on Babs!!

Valerie K.

Went in for a Sunday brunch and immediately got attitude for asking about an open table on the outdoor patio. Our waiter (same guy) continued to make snarky comments throughout the meal, so much so that the couple at the table next to is apologized for his behavior. He ultimately apologized as well citing a stressful day, but made our day stressful as well! Food was good but will not be returning.

Andrea T.

I really like these guys. It is a really nice place, well located and with free parking (a great asset in midtown). The food is always good and home made. I love their soups and sandwiches and always enjoy going there! You cannot go wrong with Babs!

Alessandra C.

The manager has a bad attitude. The rest of the staff is friendly. The food is mediocre at best and they messed up one of our orders. The worst part was the rudeness of the manager. It ruined our experience. He rolled his eyes at us when we requested a table outside and I heard him yelling at a sweet waitress. I feel bad for all the nice staff that works with him.

When I stepped inside Babs, I was immediately reminded of breakfast and brunch cafes in San Francisco. It's small, cozy, and has an original, neighborhood feel. Babs is hidden in the basement underneath an old Midtown home. The employees here are friendly and the owner is the type of person who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Babs catered the Yelp Elite event at Halo almost a year ago and didn't make the greatest impression with their small table of crackers, vegetables, and spreads. However, this restaurant has a devoted following. Each Sunday, Babs' brunch menu changes themes. The theme when I went was Greek. I chose the "Olympian Breakfast," which was ham, tomatoes, eggs (whipped), cream cheese, and feta spread wrapped inside of a puff pastry skin. This was similar to an omelette. It was rich and very filling. The meal was accompanied with two slices of toast (nice and crispy), steamed potatoes, watermelon, and a slice of orange. A complete meal you could say. I also ordered their blueberry pomegranate lemonade, a special advertised on the whiteboard outside. It was good stuff. The juice had tons blueberries in it and was served with fresh strawberries, slices of orange, and a small piece of raw sugarcane. The coolest thing about this drink was that we got free refills. Overall, the food and drink quality at Babs is good. The restaurant is small and therefore not conducive for groups. I'd say four people max if you'd like to be seated within a reasonable amount of time. On the weekends during brunch hours, you can expect waits of up to 30 minutes. They have patio seating and free Wi-Fi. Coming south on Juniper, you'll see a sign for Babs' parking lot. The restaurant itself is hard to see from the street, especially from the direction you'll be coming (Juniper is one-way), but once you turn into the parking lot, you'll see Babs right away. When we arrived, a valet attendant asked us if we were going to Babs. When we said yes, he let us self-park in the lot for free.

Beyond the food and the ambiance, this place is just too much fun!! In my first visit there they were so busy they actually asked me to deliver some waters to table 13. Since I was not an employee I had no idea where that was, but I went with it and it's one of my favorite stories to tell about Babs! But that's how that place is, you walk in and they treat you like family, complete with the ribbing and teasing but full of love and laughter! Oh yeah, and their breakfast is just YUM!

great little place. special was delicious: Colombian spices (I think) and andouille sausage, tomatoes, onions, two eggs with a delicious slice of grain bread. really nice atmosphere inside and out. not crowded at all. only thing missing for me was an eggs benedict...

Jacob J.

What a gem. Babs is a delightful breakfast and brunch spot. The service is unbelievably fast and polite, with a charming wit. There is outdoor seating if you want to test the humidity. But mostly, the food is good. The breakfast risotto was better than it sounds and an original way of spicing up the most boring meal of the way. And how much better can it get than when the waiter starts it off by saying "Here is some peach preserves for your naan."

Anastasia R.

Accidental gay breakfast! Everywhere I found myself in Atlanta turned out to be a home grown gayborhood hang out. Apparently my homo-homing powers grow stronger in indirect proportion to my appetite. The lovely gentleman owner made me a bitchin' latte, knocked my omelet out of the park, and was glad to lend a traveler a little morning conversation as well as some local recommendations for hotels and must-sees. Drop in and see the family if you are in the area!

Anjali S.

I did not like this place at all. It's a kitschy little place- not crowded at all the Sunday I stopped by with a friend. But also very small and not great for big groups. They made a poor impression on me. I'm usually pretty open to experiences and forgiving about shortcomings but was kind of bummed when I was told my eggs couldn't be poached because the stove was too crowded(??) so if I'd take them another way. I asked for over-easy- they showed up hard fried. This really wouldn't bug me except after I got my plate I saw a plate go by with poached eggs on it? I kinda felt slighted. Another problem which I think is just carelessness is our toast was black burned and crispy. Come on. Make a good decision and make another batch of toast. So apparently their menu changes. We were there for the Greek menu. We had assumed it was a supplement to a main menu but it was not. It was a short list of items inspired by 'Greek' flavors. So I forgot if it had a name but I had my hard fried eggs served on top of grit cakes studded with kalamata olives and topped with a tomatoey sauce. I didn't like this dish at all. The flavors did not mesh well. I ate it because I was hungry and that's what I ordered. I didn't appreciate the guy coming around exclaiming loudly that I was 'greedy!!' Because I ate my eggs? Made me feel like a little piggy. Oink. So my friend ordered the jambalaya omelet- which in my culinary experiences has never been Greek. So we were thinking it was really jambalaya with rice and all- so she asked to have the jambalaya part on the side in case the pair was too 'adventurous.'... They brought a sad flat egg omelet and a soup cup of a tomatoey soup- no rice. Eh. I would not recommend this place.

Such a great urban cafe atmosphere, ridiculously delicious food and graciously hilarious service. One of the best Sunday brunches I've had thus far! If you're a native or a visitor breakfast here is a must!

Yummy chicken salad sandwich and the best part was the cook giving us a run down on the specials menu. Curry dipping sauce with the sweet potato fries were delish...

First meal at Atlanta when I was very very hungry after a long ride. The omelet is OK, but not as great as I expected.

Great neighborhood spot!! They make you feel like family and their food is great!! Good coffee. Small but not too small. Great breakfast and lunch! Nice outdoor patio. Free WiFi. A must if you live in midtown Atlanta or are visiting at any of the nearby hotels; Georgian terrace, hotel indigo, Lowe's, etc. (The latter is the furthest away.)

As an eight year midtown resident, I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of Babs until this week. I needed a good spot for a morning business meeting with free Wi-Fi, and thanks to my fellow yelpers I found it. It's cozy, not too crowded, there's free parking, and the Wi-Fi connection is excellent. That's all I needed to fill my requirements, but Babs has so much more. First, there's Randy, who is a warm and gregarious host and knows how to sell a lunch special. Second, the food is really good! The Tuesday lunch special was a spicy chicken adobo, served with saffron rice and a small baked potato topped with cheddar cheese. On Wednesday, I had the minestrone soup and half a chicken-Brie panini, along with a small order of sweet potato fries. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the crispy fries. Served with a spicy sriracha sauce, they were totally worth the splurge. Babs is a great neighborhood place, and I plan to be a regular!

ZERO stars. Read that again: Z-E-R-O. Let's start with the service: the man working the register and "greeting" everyone was completely rude. He spoke in a very snide manner. As the first and last point of contact for a place of service, he could use a lesson in common courtesy. Next, the food: the kale hash was okay. The potatoes and eggs were completely undercooked. I don't understand how this place ever earned 4 stars. Waste.

Follow up to yesterday. Go for the food!! went 2 days in a row. Consistent good service. Great flavors in the specials. My wife had the crab risotto with 2 eggs over medium on top. Good spice, great flavor combination. Very unique Sunday Brunch. Glad we went back. I had the tomato & chickpea stew with 2 eggs over medium. Also fantastic. Hidden gem of a place for breakfast in Midtown. Just off the beaten path on Juniper & 6th.

I am not a fan of thick lunchmeat sooooooo read this review knowing that. We had lunch to go from here today and... eh. the ham just was too thick, I know - I'm a spoiled northern girl who loves paper thin lunch meat. This sandwich just didn't do it for me. However, the cucumber salad with tomatoes, cheese and peppers, made me wish I orders a huge portion and added sliced ham on top. So good! I also tasted someone's order of sweet potato fries and they were a winner!

Cata E.

Don't see what the hype is about. Went here once and will probably never go back. It's all pretty basic cooking. We waited a long time to get our food while everyone around us got theirs first. Could of made the same eggs at home.

Hands down one of my absolute favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch places - PERIOD. Food is fresh and full of flavor -- obviously made by true foodies. I appreciate their dedication to offering dishes that are fresh, local, seasonal, and organic/not processed. Their menu truly suits my very clean and quite distinguishing palette -- and keeps me coming back on a regular basis. Their Risottos are generally my favorites -- always sublime -- so much so I have a hard time branching out and ordering other things. But I do and am never disappointed -- their omelets and paninis are always amazing as well. One thing you can not miss no matter what you order -- get the sweet potato fries with their fabulous curry sauce. You will not be sorry. If you get their early enough, ask what they have for dessert...home made and it goes quick. Be sure to ALWAYS ask what is special and what is recommended -- I always do and they have never steered me wrong.

Michael K.

They serve great, creative breakfast specials here. The owner sat down with us and described the specials in meticulous detail. The grit cakes were awesome, but the seafood omelette was just okay. One of the guys there had some homemade jalapeno honey and it went well with the toast (in our opinion. If you don't like jalapenos, then you won't like it). I also overheard him talking about a Sake Bloody Mary which sounded enticing, but I quit drinking a couple of weeks ago, so I couldn't get it! :(

This place is amazing! Came in from out of town, the staff was so friendly and their blood orange mimosas are great! I got the smoked salmon bagel and my boyfriend got the juniper breakfast and they were both great! Definitely will be back next time we are in ATL!

I love this place! The food is wonderful and always feels thought-out and unique. You can tell that a lot of love goes into the flavor combinations. I have been there 3 times now and loved my experience each time.

Parking isnt free anymore, it's $3 required valet in the lot directly in front of the restaurant. Everyone at Babs was apologetic though and explained that the landlord wanted it valet because non-patrons were filling the lot. Whatevs! Food was great and service was AMAZING. Sat on the porch and it was a beautiful day for brunch. It was also the restaurant's 8th birthday, so they gave out complimentary cake for dessert. It even had a lit candle! Can't express how good the service was. This was my first visit, and I'll definitely be back many times. PS no wait for a table at 1230 on a Sunday.

So glad we found this awesome little brunch place in Midtown! Cute little restaurant with a little patio - super friendly service, good coffee, awesome food. All three of us left the restaurant stuffed to the gills because we had all cleaned our plate! If I lived in Atlanta this would be a regular place for me!

I'm not for franchised morning places, and by franchised I don't mean your typical run of the mill diner Waffle House or IHop but even places like J. Christopher's and The Flying Biscuit don't quite cut it for me. I'm not much one for breakfast foods but every once in a while I run across a little shop that just takes me away. A few months ago I ventured out of my comfort zone to a place called Le Petit Marche. Located in a very obscure area of town I had noted it was one of the most relaxed, European-style cafes I had been to in a while. When I first walked into Bab's it had a similar feel to it, brick walls with an eclectic dÃ©cor hanging on the walls. It's a bit difficult to find as their location is underneath a Health and Wellness house but look out for a red awning with a white Bab's stamped to the front. As I walked in I was greeted with a cheerful "I'll be right with you" from the do-it-all host and server. Charming and hilariously over the top, this man made the restaurant, his name as I found out later, is Randy. Randy, oh Randy... what do I say about this man who made my dining experience THAT much better. I'm pretty sure he's gay. Hell, it's on Juniper St. in the heart of Midtown. I expected to walk in and have a relaxing breakfast with my friend but alas that is not so when you have a bombshell waiter. He advised us for food, emphasizing on the time old tradition of trying new things and "living dangerously." He convinced, perhaps even pushed me and my friend to have what he called "Sake Mary" with a dash of Sriracha. It's essentially a Bloody Mary with Sake, it's a excellent invention, and the recommendation for a dash of Sriracha won me over instantly. As for the food it was lovely. I settled for a daily special, a Cuban wrap grilled panini style with sweet potato fries. The pork cuts were a bit chewy but overall the Cuban was a success, with a nice sweet hint to balance out the salty ham and briny pickle I devoured the first half happily. The sweet potato fries were something else. I had grown accustomed to the idea of overly sweet, sweet potato fries but these fries came served with a tangy honey mustard and curry dipping sauce that was absolutely divine. It complimented the soft and subtly sweet fries. Overall, a wildly different and kookier experience than I had expected. A sake-mary down, filled with good food I left Bab's smiling having a different eclectic yet all together relaxing morning. I recommend this place, if you're looking for something quiet or if not chat up with Randy he's a bombshell of a guy and by far one of the best servers I've had so far.

Most of these reviews must have been written by the owner or his friends, because this place is not quaint -it's grody, and if this is the best breakfast in Atlanta - then I'd recommedn skipping the meal entirely. The coffee was hot dirty water. The juice came in a ridiculous little tulip glass. The special omelet tasted of nothing but butter and the tomatoes tasted definitely off. The breakfast burrito was similarly bland and the turkey sausage wasn't tasty at all. The "toast" was so dry, cool and crisp, it was more like a cracker. And the potatoes came with that fake parmessan cheese on top. All of this cost $30!

I thought this was a great spot for brunch. They have a pretty limited menu, but everything on it is really good. I had the sweet potato and egg scramble and it was fantastic. They have their own parking lot which is tough to find in midtown plus the staff is very fun and provide great comments and service :)

Fantastic food aside, Babs is not for everyone. Its not for those with bland taste-buds, lame personality or the faint of heart. For reals, this place is 50% personality, 50% food. ... and when I say 'personality', truuuust me, I mean it. The owners and servers have tons of sazz and they have no problem making fun of you and throwing witty remarks at your face. 'Whaaaaa?' was my first response, I hadn't seen this vibe in any other restaurant in Atlanta. But after a couple sips of cold water, I fully woke up and toke the jokes like a champ. After all, great service doesn't mean you have to be a 'yes mam' lame-o sort of server right? Right! But still, let this be my warning to you. If you can't take the heat... you know, don't go to a kitchen fire or something. Joking aside (literally, hehe) the food was surprisingly good. I love a small menu, but I didn't see anything on the breakfast side that I was totally in love with. Luckily, mister smarty pants came over and described like 5 'today specials' that sounded soooo delicious, I couldn't decide which one to order. I decided to go fully bold and asked for the black-eyed pea risotto with scrambled eggs, toast and fruit for about $10.75. I know, who the hell orders risotto for brunch? Luckily I was more than pleasantly surprised. The risotto was a punch of flavor, creaminess and scrumciouliciousness (i know its not a word, but... it could be). The toast was tasty and the scrambled eggs went surprisingly well with the risotto. I could have eaten that as a breakfast, lunch or dinner option and it would have still been incredibly appropriate for the occasion- it was a very versatile dish. Would I come back? Absolutely.. but I'd practice my comeback jokes first. I'll be back with a vengeance!!!

I've never given a 1 on a review, I hardly believe in it-- I'm ALWAYS the kind of person to give any and everyone the benefit of the doubt. But my recent experience at Babs was just SOOO BAD that 1 is the only appropriate rating. Okay, so it's day 2 of my friend visiting. This time I'm like, "hey, lets try a breakfast spot, I heard Babs is super delish". So, we take a stroll down Juniper, and find it nestled in a corner/on the side, right past Mu-lan and that other restaurant. It's easy to miss, so be sure to keep your eye out for the sign. We go in, the guy tells us we can sit wherever-- there's only 2 other people in there. (It's about 1:20ish) So cool, we sit down and get the menus. We're in breakfast mode, he tells us the specials, and we both nod, attentively listen, smile, yanno we give him ad-lib "oo-aww" "that sounds good" "mmm" etc. He leaves, we go through the menu... hmm, no true to heart breakfast stuff, ok yea there's eggs and what not, but no waffles, pancakes, or french toast. He comes back over, we explain to him that we're in the breakfast mood. In a sort snarky way he says "Sorry, we don't have breakfast, that's only on the weekends" "I can bring you the brunch menu." So, I'm thinking he has an attitude and doesn't want us to eat breakfast items, but will go ahead and bring us the menu so that we can order from that. He brings it to us and repeats that brunch is ONLY on the weekends, but that they have other stuff AKA 'here's the menu to look at, but you can't order anything off it.' My friend wanted to leave, but I'm like let's just stay and order something small. It can be our appetizer to the place we'll actually go eat at. He comes back over we explain that we really did want breakfast, but since we've heard such great things, we want to try something. And that's when the rant began.. Nothing BUT attitude. Passive aggressive attitude. SERVER GUY: "Well, I mean y'all can just leave I won't be offended" MY FRIEND AND I (PATRONS): "Oh no, we understand, but we've heard such great things about Babs, so we wanted to at least try something since we're here" SERVER: "Don't think you have to stay just because I brought you water" FRIEND AND I: "Yea, we understand, and we did want breakfast, but we'll still try something" SERVER: I don't know where you're gonna get breakfast at this time of day anyway, but there's a IHOP down the street" *screetch* (step on the brakes) Did this fool say that THE ONLY breakfast spot open in Atlanta right now is the IHOP off Ponce?! Are you brand new to the A? Or do you just think we're not from here so you can just make reckless comments like that? Either way that comment alone REQUIRED a negative yelp review. Despite his attitude, we decided to order the sweet potato fries. The sauce wasn't too complimentary, but the fries were very tasty (the 1 star on the rating). We eat, drink a little of the disgusting tap water (worst restaurant water ever, smelled like it came from the toilet). Then left. We should have NOT tipped, but we did. Fries were just $4 we gave him like $7. So pretty much a 75% tip, but whatevs... my friend just gave what he had in his pocket. SUMMARY: 1.) You close at 3PM. 3PM!! So for u to be mad & give me attitude for wanting breakfast/brunch is bananas, like straight rachel zoe "BA-NA-NAS". It's crazy! You're in the freaking breakfast brunch category for goodness sakes. Its pretty much the MAIN reason people come to u. Don't give me attitude for wanting that! 2.) The fact that you showed me a menu that has waffles on it, MEANS you have the ability to not just make waffles, but pancakes too. Sure it's not Saturday or Sunday, but there's literally, like LI-TE-RA-LLY 4 people in this restaurant and 2 have already finished their meal. You can make us some effin waffles if you want. I mean, wtf happened to customer service?! You have a waffle maker in the back, and it does not take much to whip up a small batter. BUT NO. BABS, THE BRUNCH & BREAKFAST PLACE, *ONLY* MAKES BREAKFAST ON WEEKENDS, ONLY 2 DAYS-- SATURDAY & SUNDAY. How dare they tell us such foolishness, you betta get in the back and make my waffles! 3.) IHOP?! Really. The server/front man/possibly owner at Babs tells me that IHOP is the ONLY place at 1:40PM that I can get breakfast. I'm just hoping that you're blissfully ignorant, otherwise... what a douchy thing to say. And just FYI, let me tell you a few places I can get breakfast on a Tuesday afternoon in Atlanta, Ga sir: - Let's just start w/ the basics: The Majestic (24 hours) & The Silver Skillet. Sound familiar? They've only been here since, idk, like FOREVER! Now I'll go into places that are BETTER than Babs, definitely better ambience and service: - Ria's Bluebird - West Egg Cafe - Thumbs Up Diner - Highland Bakery - I mean do you not realize The Flying Biscuit is within walking distance of you?! I basically walked passed it coming here. And that's just a few. Basically... Babs sux!! Don't go there!

Ignore the menu - it's all about the specials!! We had a black-eyed pea risotto along with a chickpea tomato stew that were excellent!! Super quaint and not that busy, but that's totally a a plus. Watch out for the red zinger tea - refills aren't included.

We have lived in Midtown for 2 years and went to Babs for the first time today. What an awesome place! Food was delicious and the service was great. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and the way he sold the specials to us was like no other. I very rarely order the "special of the day" but the way he described their specials made me want to order them all. Very quaint place. Hate that it took us 2 years to find this treasure!

Anastasia T.

Overall we liked our breakfast (only bumped we were unable to try their mimosa's as they cannot serve alcohol before 12:30 pm on Sundays...Geez, thank you Atlanta!)...The "main" courses (jack frost omelet with egg whites, mushrooms and crabs and the crunchy omelet stuffed with hashbrowns) were tasty...mostly interesting rather than tasty but we were happy with them. The sides were meh, in fact the potatoes were under-cooked which I hate (how can you get that wrong people? it's really easy to bake/fry/boil potatoes) the fruit were OK and the toast was pretty good, but hey, I am not going to get excited because they toasted the bread to perfection, especially not when their little cute menu is a bit pricey... The place is nice and cozy and after having read the reviews here I was expecting the service to be more memorable but it wasn't. It was, however, efficient and for me, that is the most important thing when it comes to servers. I do recommend Bab's and we will go there again in hopes that next time we'll eat something that will make me add a star (or two) to this rating.

The breakfast risotto with eggs and coffee was pretty good, but the server was wearing shirtsleeves and had some sort of horrible skin disease that made it look like he had cigarette burns all over his arms. He also had a hacking, phlegmy cough. I only noticed this after I ordered but honestly I was so nauseated that the food became secondary to the stomach-turning experience. Ugh.

After a very hardy new years party, Zach Brown concert and Auburn vs Virginia we decided on brunch with babs. Nestled in the bottom of a house in mid town very cozy and welcoming. Bring your snow globe from foreign lands to add to the owners collection. Breakfast was outstanding and the waitstaff was very helpful. We will definitely be back!

Christine M.

I love Bab's Midtown, I make sure I get there for food at least once, preferably more, anytime I'm in Atlanta, I wish I had another excuse to go to Atlanta soon. I love that specials everyday, I love that the owner & the staff are excited to show you what they love that day. The food is always delicious, I try different foods there that I might not elsewhere because I know they've put their heart into it as well as fresh local foods & spices. But my favorite thing about Bab's is the coffee. I live in Portland, Oregon, the home of micro roasters, small batch, french pressed, coffee mecca. I love Portland Roasting here at home but Bab's coffee is even better. They import their beans from a specific small farm in south america, & another family member roasts it themselves locally. It's rich & full & savory with just a bit of cream. It is the best coffee ever. Bab's Midtown is original, delicious, friendly & I will be back as soon as I can.

Had the crabmeat omelet and smoked salmon- delicious! Loved that Bab's had local beer, and the blood orange mimosas were great. Dale was our bubbly server; he was a delight, welcome us out-of-towners to the ATL.

Patrick C.

Every city - every region - every country has its food vocabulary. In Atlanta, that's what? Local. Seasonal. Fresh from our chef's garden. Bravo. And Yawwwwwwnnnn. And there's also a service vocabulary, which for 99% of Atlanta's restaurants - thanks to the early trendsetting of the chalkboard-special-du-jour of the Peasant chain - is "friendly." Sometimes overly? Maybe? Stop the presses. Here's a true neighborhood joint that breaks the service paradigm. Call it fun. Call it quirky. Call it "I love it when you entertain me!" Call it ANYTHING but standard. Love it or fear it, Babs is unique. No Midtowner can claim his homestead without this experience. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have known the owner for 20+ years. FULLER DISCLOSURE: I still think he's crazy-wacky-totally-cannot-miss-this unique.

Came for brunch on Sunday. Food was decent, but pricey. It was a little greasy too. For me, it wasn't worth it. Nice touches like they gave a holiday themed marshmallow and pineapple.

I love how everyone who is raving about this place has a fake Yelp account probably created by the owners friends and family. First of all, the food is nothing special. Its not that hard to make a breakfast and even babs cant get it done normally. Its very carless food quality believe me when I tell you. The service is probably the worst i have ever seen. My fiance and I travel alot and absolutely love to eat out. We never had an experience like this. The waiter that served me was completely disrespectful. If I wasnt on vacation, I would of probably made a scene with that way he was talking to me and my partner. When I called the restaurant back to complain about the server, I was told the servers name was RANDY and he is the owner. REALLY? So not only is the food poor but the owner is running around serving people and disrespecting everybody. yes I mean everybody. This " Randy" character was violating people sitting all around us. Feel free to go ahead and experience the fake 4 star review but i guarantee you that you will not be pleased. Dont say you weren't warned.

Kristie C.

I had my reserves about the place because it was so tucked away and small.... BUT - Randy (owner) is seriously hilarious, witty, and personable. I think he probably made me laugh more than I have this entire week. To me, breakfast can only get so good. Babs served up some great eggs + toast (baked just down the street) + peachy fruit sangria, BUT ALSO -- a dish of laughs. Definitely would come back for another fun morning.

Just like what the other reviewers say... the specials are where it's at!! SUPER GOOD food and service. And you know the drinks are good when you find yourself stabbing at the fruit with the stirring straw to fish them out to eat. :)

Got the turkey cheddar omelet and the ham and swiss omelet. Both were pretty good, but I didn't care for the big hunks of turkey, would liked to have them more bite sized. The breakfast potatoes were really good and I enjoyed stealing some off my husbands plate when I finished murdering my own. Will definitely go back and see what else they have to offer

Kristen S.

I loved my visit to Babs! I went on a cool Saturday recently with a couple of people, and we were seated inside almost immediately upon walking in. PROS: Quaint, unique environment. Very friendly and fun staff, especially the owner, who is wonderful! Delicious food! And one of the BEST bloody mary's I've ever had - the owner said they use a special draft Sake instead of vodka. De-lish. CONS: It's very small - like, very small. I had a hard time hearing what I was saying, let alone the things my friends were saying. As someone who is claustrophobic, this made me a bit nervous.

A must visit when you are in downtown area. Omelets were fabulous. I had the crab with avocado and it was delicious. Just the right amount accompanied with potatoes fruit and thinly sliced crispy sour dough toast. A gem for the locals and treat for visitor like myself. Sat outside on a cool morning and love it all.

My husband and I were looking for a local breakfast place in Midtown after we left church. I found Bab's on Yelp and we decided to give it a shot. We got seated right away, which was nice. They seemed to have a team approach to their table service so our drink order was taken twice. Our coffee was brought to the table in half-full cups and only refilled once with only what our waitress had in her tin pitcher, which left one of us with another half-full cup. During the breakfast, it was made clear that they were beginning to get busy by the hustle and bustle of the servers (especially one alpha-server who was shouting orders at everyone else). We felt rushed through our breakfast because alpha-server repeated several times how they were going to use our table to join with another table for a larger party that was waiting. When we gave our credit card to pay, we were charged for somebody else's breakfast, which was double our bill. He had to void it and recharge the card. The food was decent, the atmosphere was small, cluttered and seemed a bit unkept, but overall, the service ruined our breakfast. We won't go back.

Best breakfast/brunch place ive been to in the Atlanta area. Not a traditional waffle and pancake place but they know their breakfast foods inside out. Highly recommend the turkey sandwich and salmon with capers. They always seem to have interesting omelette specials too. Has a nice laid back, cafe kind of feel which adds to the experience
(5)
Belinda B.

you have to pay for parking here. I'm going to admit I didn't pay too much attention to the food because I was so into my conversation with my friend. But I did have leftovers that I took home, microwaved, and it was gooooood. I think I had the special jerk chicken wrap, it was tasty and spicy (I love spicy food). Coffee here is pretty good, but be warned it costs extra if it's more than a cup (for that unlimited coffee refill). Servers here are easy to talk to, very casual, it's nice--makes me feel like a regular. (First place I've eaten in Atlanta.)

Felix C.

This is a a decent breakfast place but I don't understand the fuss. 4.5 stars? It is a small, intimate place with a friendly staff. The food was okay. A small menu that is executed pretty well. I can see it being a good spot for locals but it isn't a destination place in my mind.

Jeremy M.

I'd hate to be the lone dissenter here, but we had a pretty "meh" experience here. We came here on a Sunday before a trip to the aquarium. First, yes the waitstaff are fabulous, and quick-witted and kept the (small) dining room entertained. However, the food we ordered (brunch special and an omelet) were mediocre at best. The hash browns were raw halfway through, the eggs were rubbery and overcooked (and the chef added cheese without me asking, which was totally cool with me, but you know...some people have allergies), and I ordered a side of bacon which never actually arrived (and to be fair, we weren't billed for it in the end without having to complain). But the most egregious "wha???" moment came when I noticed that my sweet tea was coming out of a container of supermarket brand pre-mixed stuff. Really? There is NO WAY that buying pre-made sweet tea is a better investment for the restaurant than making their own. Cost-wise alone, it was a strange decision, but cleared up exactly why my tea was ridiculously sweet. [Edited: Deedra from Babs contacted me to say that their sweet tea is in fact fresh made, but just stored in gallon jugs to aid in their service. It was still way sweet for my tastes, but I appreciate the clarification] As the waiters were entertaining a large party across from us, they were provided with bloody mary mimosas... from a bottle. As in, bought at a liquor store bottle. Lame sauce. I wanted to like this place, especially because the servers and manager did really seem to be doing their best to keep things lively, but the food itself was very meh.

The breakfast menu is very small- and if you don't like eggs, you might not like this place- but everything they have is really good and fresh-tasting (the omelets are oversized and come with two wedges of fruit- pineapple and watermelon- toast, and potatoes) even if the ambiance is what I term basement-chic. I had read the Yelp reviews about prickly servers, and our waiter was actually very friendly- the man who refilled our coffee though was performatively bitchy - clearly it was just some act that's part of Babs routine - but my great-aunt wasn't catching on to his jokes and just felt offended!

First morning in Atlanta and our stomachs were rumbling for something good to start off our long day. Saw pretty good reviews on Yelp and off we were. Beautiful day outside so we sat outside and the waiter quickly came over to help us and explain the menu and specials. Brought us our orange juice and champagne along with some pumpkin butter that we could try. Tasted so good that I had to force myself not to spoon it before I could use some for my toast. We both got the Crunch omelet (hashbrowns, ham, tomato, and cheese). Very good. Also loved the potatoes and panini toast. Not only the food but the service gives this place 5 stars. Attentive, friendly, hilarious, and just what we needed to get my vacation off right.

I tried to give my disappointment with Bab's a day to subside but, to no avail, I am still saddened by this establishment. The 2 star ranking they receive is based on the service. The servers were friendly and prompt and made my experience semi-enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food and environment were sub par. The girl I am dating suggested that we go to Bab's for brunch on Sunday morning and the first thing I did was check them out online. Took a brief look at their menu and thought, "Hey, they have a simple egg breakfast for a pretty reasonable price. Let's Go!" Upon being seating, I took a look at the menu and found the same 2 egg, meat, potato and fruit plate that was listed as $7.25 on their website, was $9.25 on the menu (Update your website if you've raised the price $2.00). No big deal, I don't mind paying $10.00 for breakfast when I get a great meal. Well, the presentation was awful. Instead of a nice sunny set of eggs, I got one that looked like they broke the yolk and quickly took it off the heat to make sure it stayed over medium. The other egg looked o.k. There were a minimal amount of potatoes (maybe 6-7 small quarters) on my plate and the sauce that was supposed to be on them was actually all over the plate. Presentation fail, it looked worse than a Waffle House plate. Considering our breakfast came out in about 5 minutes, I realized that this was not cooked to order except for the eggs. The bacon was cold and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp and the potatoes appeared to be burned but were cold to room temperature. The fruit looked sad and undesirable and that piece of pineapple I bit into was anything but ripe. Leaving the rinds on the fruit only gives the appearance that it is fresh, it does not mean that it is. Having worked in the back of a house of a restaurant, I would not have sold that plate especially if I knew the price tag. The plate left me feeling unfulfilled, the coffee was pretty good though. Other notable disappointments: There was a dehumidifier in the middle of the service floor and it appears that the blinds haven't been cleaned since the last spring cleaning, if they had one. They were covered in food splatter and dust. I understand the dehumidifier since this is a basement setting but, come on, at least attempt to hide it.

Babs has a cozy atmosphere built inside of an old house with inside and outside dining. The waitstaff was very pleasant but seemed a bit distracted. I ordered the Safron Pumpkin Infused Risotti with two eggs served over the risotto, delicious! I was also a fan of the Bloody Mary twist. Because Babs does not serve hard liquor, they substituted cold Sake Draft for the vodka in the Bloody Mary and it was actually quite good. Overall, the food was great, the staff was friendly and I will definitely be back!

Sharon L.

YUM! This place has great food and fun service. We were met by a vivacious server who had strong opinions about what we should order. He talked us into trying the Saki Bloody Mary and boy am I glad we did. I'm not even a Saki fan and this Bloody Mary was goooooooood! We went for breakfast and our food was great. There were several other things that looked scrumptious that we will definitely go back to try.

Babs is a little off the street right near Mulan and Takorea. Generally, when I think weekend brunch in Atlanta -- I expect a line and a 45 minute wait. However at Babs, I was able to walk in and choose my own table even at 10:30am on a Saturday. Usually I might take that as a bad sign, but as soon as I heard the specials, I was intrigued. The regular breakfast menu is limited. My guess is this place puts a lot more work into the daily specials. Both of us ordered off the specials menu (after some help from the waiter). I had pumpkin risotto and my boyfriend had the "Cowboy Breakfast" with pulled pork and eggs. Both were delicious. Overall: Good food, happy and spunky service, DOG FRIENDLY and no wait. That's an Atlanta brunch win for me.

So glad I found this spot two blocks from me. Everything we had was delicious, from the risotto to the Babs omelets stuffed with crab meat. Service was top knotch and its so refreshing to find a low key, comfortable brunch spot in the neighborhood.

My wife, daughter, and I got stranded in Atlanta when our connecting flight was cancelled due to the blizzard after Christmas. We slept in an airport hotel and ventured out into a city we had never been to before the next morning in search of food. We drove to the central part of the city and I happened to find Babs on the mobile Yelp app. We pulled into the parking lot around 10:30 and were the only ones there. Immediately we were greeted and made to feel welcome. The two guys there--sorry I didn't catch their names--were incredibly friendly and found some toys to entertain our daughter. We were starving, and the food didn't disappoint. I got the crunch omelet, which was right up my alley. Hash browns like McDonald's--in an omelet? YES. The portions were big and the check was not...in short, a great meal. And on top of the circumstance that we found ourselves in, Babs' was a great place to find and put us in a good mood!

One of the coolest brunch spots in all of Atlanta. The menu is incredibly diverse. Very fair pricing. The atmosphere is homey & inviting. The staff is quirky & electric. An exclusive ATL local hotspot. :)

From what I understand the menu changes weekly and is thematic. This off the beaten path restaurant is quite good. The staff is attendant and opinionated from everything from two ply toilet paper to feedback on one's haircut and believe me they hold nothing back. The food is comforting and will keep you coming back.

What a great little breakfast joint, with a cool owner who grows his own vegetables. We got a crab omelet and a grit cake, which was on special, and were very satisfied with everything. The grit cake was especially good, and super unique. I rarely come across grits, let alone a grit cake. The kicker that really brought extra life to our meal was the jalapeno honey. I'm not a big fan of honey in general, but this was superb! I put it on my bread and a few other things because it was so good. One of the waiters said he put it on vanilla ice cream and it was delicious. Hilarious! The portions were not huge, but then again I am a big eater and very greedy, especially when it's that good. I left totally satisfied and would definitely go back next time I'm in Atlanta!

This place is AMAZING!!! The food was fresh, creative, and delicious. My husband and I went for brunch... Great size portions and I forgot to mention the awesome coffee to compliment the food. Hands down, one of the best brunch places I've ever been to (i'm very very picky).

Had a very nice breakfast there and enjoyed the atmosphere. Totally different than the big brunch menu places that are popular on Sundays. Food excellent and great attentive service. A bit on the tattered side but very eclectic and unique. We will come back for more.

Do yourself a favor and go to Babs. You will not be disappointed. Their food is amazing, the atmosphere is chill, and the wait staff will keep you laughing during your entire meal. We hadn't been sitting down for 2 minutes when the waiter took away our menus, told us what we going to order, then proceeded to walk away. Let me tell you - He did not lead us astray. I had the black eye pea cakes and my friend had the risotto. AH-MAZING. The blood orange mimosas were also applause-worthy. Our waiter was a ton of fun and talked to us as if we were his close friends. It took a minute to get used to his in-your-face personality, but it really grew on me and added to the fun atmosphere. I will definitely be going back here. If you're looking for a good local restaurant in Atlanta, hit up Babs.

Absolutely love Babs. There are no frills to the restaurant (which, I find, is part of the appeal), but the food and the people make this place incredible. I've been several times, and each time I've loved everything about it. You can get brunch everywhere in Midtown, but you would miss out on so much if you don't come here. The staff is kind, but funny....and the food and drinks are always incredible. Don't pass this place up or you are really missing out.

Our new favorite place! Having from moved from the land of John Waters, we've been looking for great food in a fun, funky place. Finally-- we found it at Babs. We went for Mother's Day today and had great service and great food. Sweet potato waffles? OMG-- can you say "amazing!" When the waiter mentioned them, the wife and I thought to ourselves "sweet potato waffles? Hmm, maybe not." P.S. we were wrong! WOW. They served an "elixir" that was kick-ass too. The wife had a "cruncher" omelette and the has browns inside were homeruns. I had a mother of a seafood omelette chock full of so much crab meat that John Waters would feel like he was in Bal'mer. Did I say the service was fantastic? We'll be back. OFTEN.

David E.

Everyone had a different omelet, Nathan had the crispy omelet special and I had the one with spinach. They were good and my sake Bloody Mary was definitely interesting. The potatoes weren't anything special. The fruit was fresh. Everyone was really nice as far as the service and our bill for 4 with drinks was reasonable around $70.

Babs is a good place for breakfast/brunch, judging from my recent experience there. The brunch menu is pretty basic with about five or six menu items and some additional specials, which was nice because it wasn't a mental exercise to order a meal. Overall, the food was well done. Most of the menu options are omelette based, however I had the waffles on my visit, which included cheese eggs, bacon, and potatoes. There was a lot of food, and the service was decent, however the personalities of the staff were quirky to the point of being hit or miss. We sat outside, which was pretty minimalist but nice, and other diners had their dogs with them which was pretty cool to see. The place is pretty small and probably not good for a huge group, but groups of 4-8 people should be able to eat comfortably. I think there are better (and cheaper) breakfast options in the area (i.e. Highland Bakery, The Flying Biscuit), however the experience was very good overall. I would definitely go back and recommend Babs to others.

Katherine W.

Love! Tasty food, good service, nice lowkey neighborhood atmosphere, no wait at all on a Sunday at brunch time, and free parking. What more can you ask for? I got a faint vibe of barely-there kookiness from the place, too -- in a good kind of way. Definitely a new fave breakfast spot for me. The breakfast menu is small and manageable -- it covers the breakfast basics, with a couple slightly more interesting options. According to the website, Babs does themed Sunday brunch specials. On the Sunday we went, I didn't notice a particular theme, unless "generally being delicious" counts as a theme. We got an omelette with ham, cheese, and hash browns inside of it (!!)... sogood. We also got a dish called Cowboy-something... pulled pork in BBQ sauce with two eggs over it, all served over jalapeno cornbread (with an extra slice on the side). Go! No, don't. Let me keep it all to myself.

Got cheese omelette was so fresh and delicious! Husband had the broccolini egg wrap and sweet potato fries which I picked at the entire time! The place is eclectic and service is was different then most in a very good way. The cook sat with us and you could feel his love of food! A must go!

COFFEE-buzzingly powerful, freshly ground Italian beans at a breakfast place. Not sure why nearly all morning spots have weak ass-bad coffee, but when I find a place that doesn't, I am always surprised. I was wired for 17 hours after drinking three refills, I mean rocketfuel. Yikes~ There is something distinctly European and cave-like about the atmosphere-it was quiet and perfect for the long meeting we had that day. Food was good but not outrageous. Somehow missed the mocking~that would've been fun... Cheers~

Babs has the most unique breakfast menu I've ever seen. I went with the risotto of the day topped with eggs. It was delicious! Very filling and tasty. I never would have thought risotto for breakfast, but it worked! The staff was very friendly and a bit snippy (but all in fun). I dined alone since I'm traveling for business, and I felt very comfortable and the food made it all worth it. I highly recommend checking them out!

After waiting 40 minutes for our order to arrive, the waiter told us the kitchen lost our ticket, when we asked the owner, his response was "it happens" ! He gave us a free round of of overpriced mimosas, and when the food did arrive, it was mediocre At best. It will be the last time Bab's loses my order ! Never again.

This is now my fav Breakfast Spot Ever.... The Atmosphere is cool and funky and looks something Divine would Throw Up in a good way... The Food is Organic and a lot of the Ingredients Grown in their garden... I started with the Fresh Squeezed Pomegranate Lemonade with fresh Mint it was so Good and then for my meal I got The Different Omelette.. Sliced Chicken, Roma Tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese & Avocado Slices with Roasted Pepper Hollandaise.. It was the best Omelette I have ever had... My friend got the Crunchy Omelette and he agreed with me the only thing is that I wish we would have ate here every day since I was only in town for a cpl of days and I had to go to my other lil local spots but next time I will make more room for BABS and at least go a cpl of times on my trip... Oh and also the service was great... Its a total 5 star joint...

Good breakfast. You really could miss this place if you were not overly looking for it. Staff were polite and friendly. Coffee was on target. Although, the corned beef hash was really good, it gave me gas for the rest of the day. I did think it was a great dish because of the fresh beets that it was made with. Eggs were farm fresh. Bread was baked local. People sitting on couches were really nice, which gave it a community feel. This is definitely a locals place to get a good bight to eat.

I stopped in here for Sunday brunch with my girlfriend and a friend. To our delight, there was no wait, which is a rarity for brunch options in Midtown. Upon being seated, we were handed a menu. I think they do theme menus for brunch and the theme for this Sunday was centered around champagne. There were perhaps 7 dishes to choose from, all featuring champagne in the dish. The menu options were limited, but I thought it sounded interesting enough, so I tried the steak & eggs benedict with champagne hollandaise. I was excited to try it, but the hollandaise, if it could be called that, was just bad. It was orange, watery and lacked any resemblance to hollandaise. The key part of eggs benedict is the hollandaise, so it was off to a bad start from the beginning. Thinning out a nice buttery sauce with champagne was just a bad idea. The steak on top of the English muffins didn't seem to add anything except a requisite meat in the benedict. My girlfriend's standard eggs, sausage and potatoes plate was less adventurous but altogether unflavorful as well. I will say the potatoes were tasty. The meal was subpar par, but the worst part came at the cash register. The waitress never presented us with a bill, so I just told the cashier to charge me for what dishes my girlfriend and I had. I was handed a non-itemized credit card receipt with the total. When I asked why the total was so high, the cashier informed me that the steak & eggs benedict was actually several dollars more expensive than had been listed on the menu, and that our waitress should have told us. I told him I was not informed of this, to which he responded with a back-handed apology that he was sorry, that he didn't want to argue so he'd just give me the money and that sirloin is expensive and that charging $10.75 for it would be ridiculous. He seemed insulted that I would ask to be charged the price that was on the menu, and that I was somehow trying to pull a fast one. The last thing I wanted after having a lousy brunch was to get overcharged and then get attitude for asking about it. The total for my girlfriend and I, with tax and tip, was $41 for brunch. No alcohol - just two breakfast plates, one OJ and one coffee. I like spending money on food, but only if it's worth it. I'd give this place 3 stars if it were half the price. I could go to West Egg, Flying Biscuit or Thumbs Up and have a much, much better brunch for less money, however. There are too many good brunch places in town to have an unflavorful, expensive, boring brunch. The best part about this place is the lack of a wait, but I'd sooner wait 30 minutes than deal with bad food and smarmy customer service. I'll never go back.

I love this place, and no, I'm not a friend of the owner, but he does know me by name after my third time coming because that's just the good guy he is. Babs is like going to your friends porch with good coffee and excellent food. They are soooo dog friendly with water bowls, treats and the occasional bite of bacon. It's more like hanging with friends than being at a restaurant. Can't say enough about Babs. If you are up tight and no sense of humor, then you won't get it! Einsteins is down the street for the humorless!

What a great place! Went here for breakfast during our trip to Atlanta, and we felt very welcomed. We sat outside which was a little warm, but the food and service was outstanding. We had the special corned beef hash and steel cut oatmeal with dried fruit. Mmmmm, both were SO good. Corned beef hash had the perfect runny egg. Definitely LGBT friendly which is great!

Went to Bab's today from out of town for Easter brunch and LOVED it!! What a Mid-town gem in Atlanta this place is! The food was delicious and the personalized service was impeccable. Every little touch and attention to detail made Easter memorable. Randy was soo funny and witty! He had our entire table laughing and blushing throughout our meal. The weather was great so we sat outside and enjoyed the patio, the people, and the tunes. You will love Bab's! Will def come back the next time we are in town. - The Chicks from Texas

So today I had the privilege of trying the tasty little establishment they call Babs. I am really big on breakfast nooks and this place fits the bill. Right off Juniper in Midtown, Babs is one of those places that you would never be able to find on your own unless you were looking for it. But once found, what a discovery! Posters of some drag queens and multi-colored chairs scatter the place with a random couch or other furniture here and there. Definitely kitschy and a hole in the wall, but very Midtown and charming. Had a little bit of a wait to be seated, but I was in no hurry, and once I was the two guys running the place were really nice..and a little sassy (the waiter was good at talking me into getting what I got and convinced the table next to me to order caffeinated instead of decaf coffee), but it was playful and fun. They have a small menu, but always have about 3 specials that they change up often, so the menu doesn't get boring and they tell you about their food, so you know they really care about making good food. I had the omelette with hashbrowns, tomatoes, cheese, and scallions inside and it was DELICIOUS. I wanted to eat the whole thing but it was so big, and came with tasty cubed potatoes and some toast, I had to try it all. A complete, tasty meal. Also, important to a breakfast place...good cup of coffee! GO: If you like good food, fun but quiet atmosphere, fun waitstaff, DONT GO: Big groups, in a rush, don't like fun in the morning.

Cons: Hungover-Aged-Drag Queen Service Flavorless Potatoes Copper Blinds (srsly) WAY too much laughter when someone said "swallow". Silverware was just disgusting. there's no other way to say it. Bitch, I don't care how long you've waited tables, or how many tips you had to earn to pay off your '92 Mercury Sable that runs solely on the energy produced by the 800 rainbow stickers covering it - SAY "YOU'RE WELCOME" TO A CUSTOMER AT LEAST ONCE IN A MEAL. Pros: The wrap, with half a shaker of salt, was delicious. The chef should've been named 'crackers' and had a boiled egg addiction. Making fun of the staff really made my day. The coffee did the trick.

Babs is a quaint little restaurant situated between 5th & 6th on Juniper Street, just one block away from the busy hustle & bustle of Peachtree in Midtown. Its unique quiet location allows patrons to relax & dine in an oasis in the middle of the city. On its exterior, Babs looks like your casual neighborhood restaurant with young diners conversing & drinking at their patio tables. On the inside, however, there's a cozy homely feeling in the atmosphere one wouldn't expect. The dining room, which is actually a converted basement, has paintings, potted plants, & ceramic ornaments adorning its red brick & mortar walls. The atmosphere is bright and serene. Since the room had plenty of windows letting sunshine emanate into the room, one feels as if she was partially outdoors. The furniture was simple yet adequate, consisting of sturdy wooden tables & chairs with a sheen plating. From what I could tell, most of the tables seated two to four people. I ordered the Ham Panini, sweet potato fries, & iced tea for brunch. The thinly sliced ham was savory and moist while the white cheese was gooey and rich in flavor. The two slices of toast of which the ham & cheese rested between had a firm texture, but it was soft enough where it didn't have a crunch when you sunk your teeth into it. I enjoyed every bit of the sandwich. The other reviewers are right. Some of the wait staff here is a little eccentric. However, I found it added a bit of character to the restaurant. None of the wait staff was rude, not by a long shot. At least one gentleman had a charming nonchalant attitude when asking me if I wanted to order anything else. It's hard to explain, but it was a benevolent experience. I would definitely return here again.

If you enjoy eateries that exude an extremely stiff, "I'm the waiter and you're the patron and we are going to get your food and get you out," then Bab's is not the place for you. HOWEVER, if you long for an unmatched quality of superb brunch paired with stimulating interaction with your waitstaff, look no further. For about a year now, I have frequented this lovely hole in the wall located on Juniper between 5th and 6th, and Bab's has never failed to leave me fully satisfied. This is absolutely the perfect place to kick back and relax, whether you are seeking a lavish brunch experience or a great atmosphere for a cup of coffee and lively conversation with a friend. In all my visits, I have never eaten off of the regular menu because their brunch specials are consistently too tantalizing to pass on. I particularly recommend the "Cruncher Omelet," a delicious omelet tossed with hash browns and potatoes, occasionally sprinkled with some asiago cheese. It's simply to die for. I could go on and on about my countless experiences with the delightfully down-to-earth servers, but I'll leave my review with a simple charge to go check it out for yourself. BAB'S IS SIMPLY A MUST! Whether you are just passing through or are a tried and true local, I cannot think of any place I would rather take a friend for breakfast. I'd give it 6 stars if Yelp would let me.

This is a hidden GEM! If you love showtunes you could just spend hours staring at the walls totally forgetting to eat. Luckily I don't really care about showtunes so I totally got down on their turkey Reuben. Although a bit of an oxy moron its a must. Great brunch spot, the required mimosa is served and they even have cans of POP or soda of you are from down here. Drop your dry cleaning off next door and check this place out. Ask for specials and thank me later.

I walked into BABS while I was on a quick lunch break. The service was excellent, the food was great! I ordered an omelet. Fresh is the word that comes to mind,,,!! I would definitely recommend this Restaurant. When in midtown, stop in sit back and enjoy....It is a cozy spot..

I'm a fan of Bab's. It was a few blocks from my office and for 6 years I went there 2-3/ month. A little whole in the wall type of place, where you'll find honest homemade food. Cherry on top: most of the ingredients are locally sourced. Randy and his crew have a quirky sense of humor, but they do care about you enjoying yourself there. This was my home away from home. Coming from Europe, having lunch there was always a safe haven. Forget chain delis, forget trendy to-be-seen places. A little retreat with homemade goodness and always good mood. Thank you guys!

Amazing place. Like eating at "home" away from family. Randy makes you feel like you belong as soon as you walk in. Table wasn't ready so we waited in lounge area. He brought us drinks and complimentary sweet potato fries while waiting. Birds Nest was YUMMY as well as the Blood Orange mimosa. It's definitely a Divine spot :)

The food is always good here and the quaint, neighborly atmosphere is pleasant. They know their ingredients and they are not afraid to make you a fully-stuffed omelet, or serve risotto for brunch, (yum!) Be warned that the owner, (also main server), can sometimes be a snippy Queen, but, overall, he is funny and honest. I have never been disappointed at Bab's and I'm always surprised it is not busier when I go!

I like this place, very rustic and ornately decorated, comfy, the main servers are nice, I am on friendly terms with them. They have specials which last a few days and others which are long running. Their food is cooked well to your specifications and every time I've been here I have enjoyed it. I usually only come on weekdays so they aren't so rushed. Very laid back place on week days.

We were driving thru on our way to Florida and hit up Babs after reading the stellar reviews. Without repeating too much, I must say that all the good stuff said here is well-deserved. We ordered a breakfast including an omelet with salmon, crab, and avocado hollandaise that was fantastic and a baked dish with eggs, ham and cheese. Both dishes were great, with thoughtful presentation, featuring fruit and an attractive garnish. The coffee was also very well roasted and brewed. The service was fast and friendly, and not at all impatient with our cluelessness. We were in and out of this quirky joint in 20 minutes and were very happy for the brief detour into Atlanta.

I have not eaten here all that often as brunch doesn't go over so well as a solo affair--but let me say that when it is, with these guys you would know it. The staff is incredibly friendly in a "you've known them for a while" type way and the food is always incredible and creative. I enjoy looking at the menu, not knowing if i will like it, and leaving it in the hands of the chef to put a lovely concoction together. I once asked them why on earth it wasn't crowded--I am from philly and a place like this would have a guaranteed half hour wait minimum through 2pm on a sat or sun morning. Portions are wonderful and don't bat an eye if something needs to be gluten-free. I hope to walk the two blocks more often, but people should know about this place.

Derrick C.

So just in town from Texas. I've been here three days and I've eaten breakfast here 2x. The servers are super friendly and welcoming. The food is great they have crab and salmon omelet and different specials everyday. My friend decided to go with one today she loved it! Highly recommend this place. And I am a connoisseur of food. I never eat at chain restaurants.

Came here for brunch today. Had to wait a little bit but it was alright since they got our drinks meanwhile, and they had a small lobby inside. It actually wasn't a long wait, which was nice. Starting to look at the menu, we noticed they only had the brunch menu out, but once asked they gave us the whole menu. I don't think the food took too long to get there either. They actually got my order wrong, and said they'd bring me a new French toast since that's what I'd asked for originally. However, they just brought me a whole NEW plate! And I had already eaten most of the first plate since I was kind of in a hurry, so it was indeed quite a bit of food, as the brunch portions are pretty generous. Overall, it was good food and great that they recognized their mistake and made up for it. Not to mention they accepted the Scoutmob ticket we had and even allowed us to use 2 since there were 6 of us.

Went to Babs for Brunch. This is truly a neighborhood gem. It is in the same area as AVRA, Singles, Mitra, ... You could easily miss this great place as it is hard to find, in the basement of another building. The restaurant does not look as a special place from the outside. However it has a lot of atmosphere (greek/European inspiration). The style is informal and very friendly. The menu card is by far not the largest I have seen but everything on there is truly delicious. We have tried most of it by now and all of it is very tasty and very well made. The service is "informal" and you might have to request their attention. However, they are very friendly and they take good care of all the customers. Promise this is a great place to hang out or to meet. There is much more atmosphere / ambiance here than the regular chain stores around the corner. I would strongly recommend people to try it.

The chicken, brie, and apple sandwich was divine. The wi-fi was strong. The setting was cozy. And I could walk from my apartment. Why oh why had I never been to Babs before? Why are there so many Midtowners who seem to be in my same boat, having never tried this cozy little spot out? I can't explain it, as this neighborhood joint has a lot going for it. Service is what I'd describe as "European": you've got to get their attention to order, but they'll be friendly about it and never rush you. I'll be back, and I'd recommend you check it out as well. Certainly a new local hangout to love.

I went to Babs because of Daniel B's review. Wow, boy was I glad I did! This might have been my favorite part of the trip to the ATL. I'll admit, we were slow, we just thought it was called Babs. No, it was called Babs in honor of THE BABS, THE Barbara Streisand Babs. Update, this last statement was untrue and Deedra H clarified, "I loved your review but wanted to clarify one thing, Babs is actually named in honor of the John Waters character, Babs Johnson (aka Divine, for all you John Waters aficionados). " Thanks Dee! This Babs is just as fabulous and does not deter from the experience. There were pictures of drag queens in the corner and the music was excellente! Breakfast was fun; our waiter had us in stitches. I was very much reminded of being in SF. The place was quirky, the staff was quirky and the food darn good. We had leek risotto with two eggs over medium on top and sweet potato waffles. Yeah you heard me, sweet potato waffles. Now as a reminder, which I continue to forget, you cannot get mimosas until after 12pm on a Sunday. Even so they have very refreshing non-alcoholic options. Give it a try! Next time in the ATL, I will be back!

While settling our son into his new Condo, a relocation from Chicago, I discovered this fabulous restaurant. It's open for breakfast and lunch and we took advantage of both more than once. The breakfast was fantastic, no grease on the bacon or sausage. Potatoes were not drowned in grease as well. The lunch offer an array of soups and sandwiches as well as entrees. Delicious!!!! The atmosphere is like being in moms in-law apt, very comfortable. Can't forget the coffee!! We noticed how good the coffee was right away and mentioned it to our server, who told us the Owner, is part owner of a coffee plantation in Nicaragua. I started a Tab at Babs for my son since we returned to Chicago. He was very appreciative, and least we know he as access to some really GOOD food.

My fiancÃ© and I have been on the hunt for a great breakfast place. We found it. Great food, great service, and endless coffee! Perfect morning. I wish they had something like this in Buckhead.

Yuck. The whole place needs to be cleaned. Glass over tables with food stuck underneath, dead flies in the window sills. So much attitude - do these people not realize that there are 100 other places to dine in Atlanta and they are clean? Have been here over a 12 times over the years, only because a friend of mine insists. I will not go back.

I go to Babs almost every time I'm in Atlanta! I love places where the owners run the show--always so friendly and personable! They always have specials and the food is excellent! It's always presented nicely too!

I arrived in Atlanta from Houston early Sunday morning determined to not eat any food at the airport. I looked on Yelp for a good place for brunch near Piedmont park before I go out on a run and they recommended this place. I almost drove past this place and appreciated the standard free parking lot since I've had to pay for parking or parallel park everywhere else. The place is kinda smallish as most of the tables more suitable for 2-3 people. I was recommended the olympic breakfast which was a largish puff pastry that had scrambled eggs, various meats and I think spinach along with two slices of panni and a few slices of pineapple and orange . They also made sure that I had plenty of italian coffee that I needed to wake up. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and felt that it was a great way to start my visit to Atlanta.

After reading some extremely favorable reviews, I was prepared for an amazing experience at Babs. Unfortunately, I was a bit underwhelmed. We went on a Sunday for brunch - and it wasn't very crowded, which was nice. There were two guys doing most of the serving - I overheard the infamous Randy talking to other tables, but he never really made it to ours. The other gentleman (the co-owner?) was prompt, but not too personable at all. As for the food, it was good. The descriptions were exciting and unusual, and it appeared the menu was thematic and to change often. But when the plates arrived, it looked like pretty much any other breakfast. The included fruit, toast and potatoes were not substantial - one piece of toast and an orange wedge. It wasn't BAD by any means, but not nearly as exciting or delicious as the reviews made it out to be. The coffee was delicious - but for the price point, the meal was lackluster. I'd go back I suppose, but not after trying all the other plethora of brunch options out there.

I finally rolled into Babs after years of hearing about it. My friend lives in 805 and after a rough night at Johnny's Hideaway, we rolled into brunch here sporting last nights's smoky hair and Sunday's big sunglasses. I had never been, so I didn't get the theme thing, but apparently every weekend is a riff on their brunch dishes. Lucky for me, it was greek day and I can't get enough of feta and spinach. I had the greek stromboli - oh my goodness - eggs, feta spread, spinach, tomatoes, rolled into a puff pastry and sliced off.... perfect, rich, exactly what I wanted. The sides were completely average and good - crunchy toast, some scattered fruit, and some crispy potatoes. The iced coffee was delicious - we sat outside with a cool breeze even on the hottest of days. Such a lovely, not-stressful, perfect Sunday brunch...

If you can't find Babs, keep looking. It's inconspicuously nestled in a nook of a space facing a parking lot and its private fountain garden. Find it on the block between fifth and sixth on Juniper. Babs always delights with its unexpected, but always delicious breakfasts and lunches. You might be talked into trying something, but don't worry. This cozy place is run by pros. If there is one neighborhood brunch spot to try in Midtown, this is it.

I have to say that Basia's review below must be accurate, because my wife and I had a very similar incident with the same bruise-marked server at this restaurant, on the same day (this past Mother's Day). We walked in, asked if we could sit outdoors to eat, and were met with incredible attitude from this server (the kind you do not show to paying customers). We were so shocked by the attitude, we didn't know what to say initially. Absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. He showed us to a table indoors, but my wife refused to sit, so we left. The sad part of this for my wife and I is that this restaurant is where we first met and had our first date. Needless to say, we will never go there again.

When I woke up in the morning, my mission was to find Babs and eat breakfast there. I decided a quick run to my destination would mitigate the fact that i was going to be loading up on greasy deliciousness. I missed it the first jog past because the sign is on the side. Babs is very homey, it is in a cozy little house. I ordered the crab omelet which was packed with real crab meat, mozarella cheese, and tomatoes -- my favorite! the breakfast potatoes were crispy and tasty with nice garnishes of stuff i can't name. The portion was more than enough for me, and the price was still so decent! You should take a morning jog there also.

This was a fun and entertaining place to dine for brunch. I particularly enjoyed the witty and sarcastic attitudes of the waitstaff, but could understand how more apprehensive folks might take offense, particularly if they are trying to impress a conventional client. Both the mimosa and Bloody Mary were great and somewhat divergent from the standard tastes served elsewhere. The food was also good and filling, but the selection was limited. Overall, I would recommend this place for the open-minded looking for a variant atmosphere for brunch.

Tim W.

Firstly, I am not a friend on the owner. I am from out of town and found this place by happenstance. The menu was creative and my meal was delicious. The service was witty and pleasant. The homey, farm-like atmosphere was delightful. I would recommend to anyone looking for a non-cookie cutter brunch.

Mary L.

I came here when I was really hungover one Saturday and it was the best decision I made all weekend. The server was fabulous and he knew just what I needed...a mimosa! I am not even sure I told him I wanted that or actively ordered my food, but everything was on point. The food was great, and the waiter topped off my mimosa for free. BOOM. I left here very satisfied and then had a food coma....perfect.

this place is the tits! oh man, the chicken & brie panini = to die for! and sweet potato fries that were better than the vortex's! the curry dipping sauce was delicious as well! randy, the owner, is so crazy. but in a good way :P we'll definitely be back!

Not sure who the server is, but he was nothing short of a total jag to my Dutch friend and I on Tuesday morning. From the moment we walked in (along with my 16 mo old daughter, well behaved and in a stroller), he was rude, insincere, and absolutely made the entire experience intolerable. Food was great. However, my Dutch pal didn't quite understand an omelet and instead of explaining it to her, he loudly repeated himself into her ear what it was, as if she were deaf. She's not. She just doesn't know what am omelet entails. So she orders steel cut oats which she just didn't like (texture is different/bland), and he acted so insane about it when she said coyly that she didn't like them. He loudly asked what was wrong with them, were they sour? Etc. She then asked for a plain bagel, which he insisted on toasting much to her not wanting it toasted, because as he said, 'You want it toasted, it will taste better'. Then I asked at the end for him to split the bill. You would have thought I asked for a kidney.I said to the man, look I'm sorry you're having a bad day... Why are you so flustered?! He then melted down about two call ins and having to do all the work on his own ( there were some people there to fix tables, he wasn't expecting them...). Bottom line, a customer pays your wage. Without us, you would not have a job. You can only survive on the good food shtick for so long. I will never go back there. I had the most uncomfortable breakfast in my life. I was afraid to tell him how the meal was in fear of him going bananas on me. He was loud, abrasive, rude, and so many other things. Food can be great, but service can break that experience and make the food taste awful. Take your hard earned money to ihop.

Really great food. Really good service. Nice simple atmosphere. Biggest downfall is the size of the location and that the specials are verbally made. There are literally 6-7 special menu options. I wish they wrote them down or had a secondary menu made with the specials on it. It was just too much info to take in to make a legitimate choice. Even though there are a lot of options have no fear because all of them are great. Enjoy the service atmosphere and food.

Loved this place. We walked from our hotel (Renaissance Midtown) and we are so glad we did. It's a cute little place in a cute little neighborhood with seriously delicious food. I had a grouper cake with eggs over easy and a side of arugula with lime vinaigrette. Oh my god. So good. My partner had a crunch omelet, which was equally delicious. Best breakfast potatoes ever, and both entrees were served with delicious fresh fruit. Also, my blood Orange mimosa was delightful and very large. The service was so good. Randy, the owner and chef, took great care of us and was super friendly. His staff was excellent and efficient, and we liked eavesdropping on their playful banter. I wish we lived here so we could come in every weekend. Thanks for a fabulous experience, even when we were super hungover.

I'd like to give this place at least 4 stars but in all honesty, the great food doesn't outshine the unfortunate demeanor of the owner Randy. Upon sitting down he aggressively pushed the drink of the day on us. No greeting? No personality? No thank you, Randy. I ended up with a sake Mary, a tasty twist on the brunch classic. Thumbs up. Our request for water was all but ignored until my boyfriend flagged down a busser. We ordered, our food arrived very quickly. Great portion size. Appealing plating. We ordered a cowboy and crunch omelette. The food was great. No complaints there. The uncomfortable part of this meal was listening to Randy greet some patrons with glee and others with disregard. To top it off, he spouted so less than savory things about a group of college kids that left after sitting down to review the menu. "When I see a group like that I know they just want chicken and pancakes" Being as a group of J Crew clad twenty something's had just left that very same table I don't know of this was an age-ism situation. Really uncomfortable stuff for out of towners like us just trying to get our brunch on. While I understand the frustration of patrons deciding to leave after already being greeted and sat, don't show it to your other guests. And certainly don't imply such reasoning, Randy. If in the area again, I'd pass this place up. I'd rather give my money to another small business. It's a shame though, that omelette was awesome.

I just can't say enough about this place! The food is stellar ans the service is stellar! If you haven't been here yet, just go! We had the crabmeat omelet with smoked salmon, fresh fruit, bagel omelet, turkey sausage, for $35!

Rebecca O.

I really like this place. It's a good down home, well priced, brunch or breakfast place. The food is pretty good and portion sizes are large. The service is very friendly; with the decor and service, you almost feel like you're in someone's home. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because the food doesn't quite knock it out of the park with flavor. However, I would definitely recommend it to anyone look for a good affordable breakfast in the area! There is a complimentary parking lot for those visiting Babs. It says there's a fee, but if you read closely, below it is says it's complimentary 2 hour parking for those visiting that bank of restaurants. Babs shares a parking lot with Takorea.

RESERVATIONS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!! We were the only party waiting and we waited about an hour for a party of 4. At least we had Blood Orange Mimosas to keep us company. The vibe is wonderful and the staff is super friendly. Very personable. It took a while for the tables to be bussed, but the servers were working very hard to do it all. Put in an order of their 2 best dishes, the Shrimp Cakes and the Moroccan Stew. The portions are enough to share and the food is excellent!!! We asked to split the dish and they were nice enough to do it for us!! A solid 4 1/2-5 star establishment, but gave them 4 only because of the wait time to get seated and the wait time to get our order in.

We stumbled into Babs one Saturday morning. My boyfriend was tired of trying to find parking and just parked at the first location he could find and told me find the closest food place (he was getting "hangry"). Boy, were we lucky! This place was a great find. It's a small cafÃ©/brunch place with outdoor seating. You would miss it in a blink of eye while driving. There is parking lot right next to it so you can park for free. Ignore the sign that said you have to pay. Patrons of Babs do not. (Good to know for next time). They have a set menu, but another menu that changes daily. Order from the menu that changes daily. I had a pimento cheese with Andouille sausage hash with 2 over easy eggs on top with a creole sauce. Absolutely delicious! It came with a side of arugula salad in a lemon vinaigrette, 2 whole grain toast, and fruit, a very balance meal. You can taste the freshness of the food. Everything was made in house and you can see the care they took to come up with each dish. My boyfriend had a Moroccan Stew with 2 over easy eggs on top. The second it came out, you can smell the aroma. I tried it and it was so succulent! The stew was cooked for several hours with an array of spices. It came with naan and fruit, again a balance meal. The wait staff might be a little confused (2 wait staff asked for our order without know the other asked already), but it cause they were super busy and wanted to make sure we are taken care of. They were attentive and made sure we had everything (double check I guess since it was 2 wait staffs). One of the waiters, I think, was the manger/owner. He describe in great detail of each special and what it took to make it (hinting he helped). They do serve bloody marys and mimosas. We did not partake, but next time!

Impeccable service: refilling coffee and water without you asking. Awesome food: three different breakfast specials as well as HUGE high quality omelet. I got the Bab's Omelet, and my boyfriend got the Crunchy Omelet. Both were delicious and came with fruit, toast and savory roasted potatoes.

I was surprised to find a place this cheap, and this delicious in Midtown. Generally stuff is overpriced, or just isn't good. Well definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. The sandwiches are pretty good, but breakfast seems to be where it's at.

Joe V.

Fast table service and knowledgeable wait staff. The descriptions were so precise I wanted to marry some of these dishes before meeting them ! My first time here I had the Moroccan Holiday- a delicious twist on a creole stew with medium eggs and naan bread - yum. Only suggestion - loud person behind counter reading an email of negative origin loud enough to hear in the dining area. Drama should remain at home - not as a side dish Babs/ still love you!

First, there is parking. Nice. Second, my sweet tea came with a "back up" (pictured). Love it. Everything else: the omelette was fine and the rest of the food was fine. Nothing blew my mind. It was kinda weird in there. Lots of weird nick naks and dust on the shades.

One thing I really like about catching up with friends who live in other neighborhoods, other than the catching up part, is trying new restaurants that I would not have traveled to try in first place. I mean who has time to travel all the time to just eat, right? Babs has been one such place, I have bookmarked it long ago, to try but never had a chance to visit. Until I visited couple of friends, who lives closer to Babs, for brunch/lunch. It's bit hard to locate, given the restaurant is on the other side of a house when you are driving on Juniper. you will first see parking Signs for Babs but once you enter the parking lot you will see the restaurant. The restaurant is also close to Takorea. The place gives the feeling of being in your grandma's basement, tiny and just functional. And that's not necessarily bad thing, but it could be. The space is cramped and there are only handful of tables, so even if there are not too many people, there could be wait times. In fact, when we went there, we had to wait for 20 mins. But that's expected at any restaurant for weekend brunch. It's good for casual brunch with friends but not more than party of 4. You are not going to impress your date with this place. The menu is small and a bit limited. But it does cover range of dishes like Soups, Salads, Paninis, wraps, sandwich, omelettes, bagels and beverages. And also we were told that Sunday brunch menu changes periodically. I have ordered Grilled chicken & Brie panini with the side of southern potato salad. The size of the panini was neither big nor small, perfect for the brunch. And the brie and chicken works surprisingly well! I just wished there was more Aoili or some sauce in it. The southern potato salad was creamy and sinfully good. I had hard time deciding between that and sweet potato fries(I love both) but I glad I chose potato salad! My friends ordered Vegetable montage wrap and they agreed it was good. They especially loved the turmeric/mustard based sauce that comes with sweet potato fries. The staff were generally friendly but when all tables are full, you may have to call them if you need water refills. I like Babs and I will visit again if I am in the neighborhood. 4 stars

Sebastian M.

This place was superb. We ordered the blood orange mimosa and the sake bloody mary. Both were delicioua. My wife doesn't like sake but she loves bloody Mary's and she loved this. The mix is really good. It's cool because they bring you a small carafe or sake and mix and you mix it yourself. A lot of the menu items sounded good but once we heard the specials, we changed our plans. I got the shrimp cake topped with eggs. My wife got the pimento and sausage hash. Both were really good. I definitely can see us coming back. I also liked that they are dog friendly. We bought our dog on a Saturday morning before walking to the piedmont park dog park. It was perfect. The only thing I would say that they could improve on is the inside is a little small for me. But in the spring and summer that's no big deal because they have good outside seating. We will be back

Summary: Must-try brunch in midtown. Everything here is awesome! Highlight: Crab omelette and the dipping sauces. Babs is an amazing place! This is one of Chef Justin White's favorite places and he introduced it to me. Randy Adler (the executive chef here) is a super fun, awesome guy. If you get to meet him, I would definitely recommend it. This place is small, but don't let that fool you in how much amazing flavor is in the food. From the iced coffee beginning to the dessert finish, all the details of the meal are impeccable. The coffee tastes awesome, even iced. We got the jalapeno poppers and sweet potato fries. AMAZING! The sauce that the sweet potato fries comes with is a must-try. Same with the jalapeno-poppers. Both have a little spicy tangy twist. Chef Justin White got a crab omelette and I got a crab wrap with wasabi sauce. I liked Justin's omelette better, but my wrap was amazing also! That was the first time I got crab that is not in sushi. I liked it a lot. I also got to try his jalapeno honey (amazing) and tomato jam which were fresh tomatoes (awesome!) The chefs here have showed me what GREAT sauces taste like. This forever changes my palate :) You'll probably be too full, but if able to: try their black and white cookie also. It's new-york style and tastes like a cake cookie :)

It's one of those Saturday mornings and you feel too lazy to make your own breakfast. Perhaps you are still dealing with a hangover from partying on Friday night and need a meal full of bacon to soak up all the toxins. You don't want anything crazy, just a normal breakfast. This is probably your spot. The turkey wrap was delicious and the ambiance was very quaint. The patio is great and despite being small, does not seem crowded. Do not go here in expectation of creative cuisine, this is your standard American breakfast, but executed very well and priced very well (most items are under $10). A minor annoyance was sitting us down at a table that wasn't fully wiped down. Even after the waiter came to wipe it down, I had to finish their job with a napkin as they did it very carelessly. Overall, I'd come here again. It's nothing mind blowing to go out of your way for, but a very nice breakfast. The wait was about 15 min at 11am on a Saturday. I can also imagine it being a good place to get some to go food.

Really easy to get to in Midtown with ample parking (lot). Really cute/old school decorations and plenty of 2 top seating. Great service and the food came out very quickly. Delicious fresh ingredients from the garden and the omlette/potatoes was really good. The ceilings are quite low and seating isn't the most comfortable, but overall it was a good breakfast.

Caitlin W.

I would have walked right by this place had it not been for Yelp. Plain on the outside, treasure trove of tastiness on the inside, Babs invented farm-to-table long before it came into vogue. My ratatouille was made with fresh-from-the-garden vegetables and tasted as such. My husband's delectable chicken and Brie panini came with a mind-blowing tomato basil dressing that had more flavor per ounce than should be culinarily possible. The service was friendly and made us feel like their favorite customers. Go experience this gem for yourself!

Lisa Y.

We came through for brunch on a Sunday morning, and had roughly a 30 minute wait. We were able to seat in the waiting area with some coffee until our table was ready. It is a very small restaurant and the wait, I image, could get pretty long depending on how many are in your group and the time that you come. Once we got our table, we ordered relatively right away. We all got the : The Olympian Salmon Cakes Greek Omelette and another item I cannot remember :/ The food came out extremely quickly so we were pretty content since most of us were starving by this point in the day. The salmon cakes were something we were all interested in and after trying it, it was hard to tell that it was salmon because it strongly reminded me of tuna. Meh. The Olympian was recommended by our server and I was not very fond of the meal. It presented itself to look like a dessert item, but is sort of like their version of an Eggs Benedict I would assume, without any eggs.. lol. Overall, the total experience was A-Ok. My friends seemed to be really fond of this place, but I wouldn't deem this my go-to brunch spot. But overall, still a pretty cool experience.

I'm a little on this review. We went 2 days in a row for brunch in May while we were visiting Atlanta. The food was good. I had a plate that had crab cakes with with eggs. I don't remember the name. I was impressed with the services from the waiter. They were always in a hurry. It wasn't a deal breaker & I would definitely go back on my next visit to Atalanta.

Janeka H.

Very limited food selection for the non-egg-eaters. Besides hash brown, bacon and toast.... Their menu mostly consisted of eggs. And I'm sure that if you love eggs, then this is the perfect place. So, needless to say that I was disappointed and the restaurant is so small that you can't help but to hear everyone's conversation. In fact, my waiter went over specials between my table and the table next to mines. It only made sense with the tables being so close together. Sorry to say this, but I won't be back here.

Bradley D.

I loved the food and the location because of its secluded feel. The service was fast and the food flew out of the kitchen. I planned to sit and work a little, but no can do because they were getting so busy. I was asked to move to the lounge which was packed with waiting guests. Needless to say I decided to pay and leave. Check it out!

I like the atmosphere, the culture and the ambiance here. It's perfect for a date, girls brunch or just a quick morning bite. They clearly do not serve hard liquor but that doens't stop them from offering great options. My date got the Sake Bloody Mary (comes with the Sake Bottle and the Bloody Juice tumbler separate so you build your own). He said it was OK but he really loves his Vodka. So, if you're a vodka lover you might be disappointed but it's worth a try if you're a plain old Bloody Mary fan. I got the Blood Orange Mimosa (already prepared for you) and it was awesome. The breakfast is about $10 per plate, the drinks are about $9 per drink. It's your average breakfast, lunch,brunch spot without the crazy Atlanta prices. I got the spinach, goat cheese and mushroom omelet. It came with home fries potatoes and fruit. The omelet was just right, nice and fluffy. The fruit was fruit and the potatoes where nice and crispy, just the way I like em. My date got the build your own omelet: spinach, goat cheese and turkey sausage. It also comes with potatoes and fruit. The sausage is amazing and he ate every last bit of the omelet. For dessert I got some sort of Bavarian fruit cake that they had sitting on the stand. How could I resist? They poured a berry sauce on top which was the perfect ooey, goey topping. It was $3.25 and good to the last bite. Last but not least, be prepared for good old dry humor here. The gentlemen who must own this establishment have a very colorful sense of humor that makes this place extra special. You will catch them telling the waitress she forgot something since she must have showed up to work high, or when someone asks where the bathroom is and they respond by asking if they've paid yet. Yup, don't take offense, order a drink instead and enjoy the ride. Also, the parking right beside the place is free if you eat there. Don't get discouraged if you don't see parking, the staff will direct you to double park behind them.

Sometimes your neighborhood joint is the best answer. New Year's Day is a tough time to go out to eat, because everyone is beat from a nutty celebration (in my case, pizza-party hosting). Those of us who were over-served the night before need a restaurant, not a stove, for brunch-stuffs. But Randy and the gang at Babs handled our party of five on short notice with ease given how crazy-busy the restaurant was. More than that, though: the food was excellent. Everything, from beginning to end, was stellar. I had a special omelette with potatoes and fruit, which was hot, fresh and delicious. All of my other co-diners were impressed and happy as well. We walked from the house, which means so emissions were needed to get there. Ozone, spared. You won't be disappointed by Babs' down-home, around-the-corner midtown vibe. I'm proud to say that I introduced a friend to Babs for the first time on this visit--and this guy is an Atlanta native. So, yeah, I did my duty. If you're a first-timer, too, go to Babs. You'll end up a return customer.

Went here for brunch with my sister on new years day! This is my second time here and I gotta say I love this little place. It's small but cozy and the staff makes you feel at home. I recommend the cowboy breakfast if they have it. Who wouldn't want a fried egg with pulled pork on top of cheesy jalapeÃ±o cornbread! It was soon yummy. They always have cool specials and tasty omelets on their menu. My only recommendation would be to get there early so you can get a seat and get ahead of the brunch crowd. I think this is a great place to stop and definitely a hidden little gem in the center of downtown. This is a small place with a lot of character so for those who wanted fast service and to be seated quickly this just isn't a chain restaurant. It's a cozy little place where you can chill. Not be rushed and enjoy the food, some drinks or even a cup of tea. I think most people of any age would fit into this environment except small kids.

Nice patio, nice inside....seemed comfortable.....however, the man running the front kept telling me to sit down and that he would be right with me. That's fine....but I was just looking at the pastries & teas at the register. I was just looking around, and he kept asking me to be seated. Just acting irritated & politely rude. Service was just not very friendly or genuine. If you can't be friendly to customers, don't work the front of the house on a Saturday morning. And the food wasn't that great. My husband who will normally eat anything, left more than half of his eggs. A place that cannot get scrambled eggs right? I've had a better meal in a truck stop. Double espresso was too long of a pour & over extracted. Looked like regular coffee instead of espresso. Food quality was just blah.....sad, because it's a cute little place.

I came here for bloody marys with my mom one Sunday afternoon and was really unimpressed. The bloody mary's were fine (made with sake), but it's always a little disappointing to pay $10 or $11 to watch someone pour a bottled mix into a glass and walk it over to you. I could buy a bottle of the same mix for that price and drink it on my couch. Anyway, my beef was really with the service and restaurant atmosphere. I kept getting the weird feeling that all the customers and staff knew each other and there was some sort of inside joke happening. We were there before they closed and instead of waiting for us to finish our drinks (no food), they asked us to move our things to a wicker couch by the bathrooms so they could mop the floor. It was very strange, and kind of off-putting. The end result was me chugging my bloody mary to get the hell out of the place so the staff would stop making me feel like I should leave. Also, it was a hot summer day and their AC was not cooling the small joint. I will not return.

[TL;DR] A good place for brunch. Read the signs carefully. Don't miss the free parking. I never did figure out why the place is called Babs, probably because I failed to ask. Of course, had I, I would have received some lip service from the owner, I'm sure -- a comical character whose direct approach and dry humor might be lost on the southern hospitality type. Nice people though. Gave me a bag of ice to help ice down a friend's swollen ankle. I was pleasantly surprised that Saturday, high-noon, didn't mean a 45 minute wait. In fact, we were seated right away -- in the patio, no less. Service was friendly and frequent with a rotation of folks swarming around making sure you were okay, your water was filled, your coffee was topped off, etc. I went with a crunch omelette, which is basically a ham and tomato omelette with tater tots in it. YEAH! How do you go wrong? It was tasty, overall, after dropping hot sauce on it. I think I'd go with something different for the side (potatoes) next time as they were a bit underwhelming with their spice and flavor.

HOLY SWEET POTATO FRIES. Okay but seriously, the sweet potato fries are that good. I'm not as big of a fan of the curry sauce that it comes with, but I'm not the biggest fan of sauce in general, so I might actually be the weird one. The sweet potato fries look kind of charred when they come out, almost unappetizing. But they are SO good. I mean, quite possibly my favorite sweet potato fries and I try not to throw that term around too lightly. I came here on a Sunday for brunch and I really like how the menu is themed each week with a couple of specials that aren't on the menu. Once the specials are sold out, they're just out. My friend managed to snag the last pesto chicken salad sandwich. I would have really liked it except that there were about 15 green onions in every bite and I am not the biggest fan of green onions. I ended up getting an omelet with heirloom tomatoes, chicken, spinach, avocado, and brie. The avocado and brie were so creamy together, it was great. I guess I don't really know what heirloom tomatoes are though because they didn't taste any different from regular tomatoes. The place itself is a little cramped though, so be ready to get friendly with your neighbors. However, I would definitely make this a frequent brunch spot given the really good food, and kind wait staff.

Excellent food and friendly service. We got suckered in to 70$ bill at breakfast but that was mostly our fault for ordering bloody Mary's and such haha. I would recommend it but I probably won't be back, one and done kind of thing for me.

I love Babs. Came here for the first time before I moved to Atlanta, right before Halloween, and was impressed by the attentiveness of the server/owner. The guys clearly care about their customer and their product - just try not to drool while they describe the specials (operative word here is TRY). Food is just as fantastic as when they describe it. Some really unique takes on brunch foods, too. Pro Tip: If you're going to brunch on a Sunday afternoon...make a reservation or expect to wait. This isn't as much a pro tip as it is just common sense...which I guess I forgot when we went. Luckily, the server/owner/host/everything made sure we were looked after while we waited for a table. Coffee was offered and brought SWIFTLY, with cream and sugar. And refills. God I love these guys. Couldn't even tell that the wait for our table was nearly an hour. If you love brunch, food, coffee, great service, etc, you have to try Babs.

This is one of my favorite brunch spots in Midtown. It's always busy, but I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table, and I'm often seated right away. Service is always very speedy -- from taking orders to food on the table has never taken longer than 10 minutes, and I've been there at some very busy periods. Omelettes are big and fluffy and full of flavor. Most breakfast entrees are served with toast, potatoes, and fruit to make a complete meal. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Be sure to try their risotto -- it is fantastic. Hearty portions and big flavors are what you will find at Babs. The dining room is fairly small and busy, but the atmosphere is fun and buzzing with energy. There is a good amount of patio seating and it's a bit quieter outside. Fun place to eat!

Don't get me wrong - the service was outstanding - very clean and the place is decorated really cute, with an eclectic style. I was impressed with the little cute joint. The server was polite and have us the specials. But the main reason we had chosen this spot was because of the reviews and I got to say I don't know what these people were eating - because the food was no were near the 4 and 5 stars- But here's my experience: I ordered a coffee and breakfast wrap that had eggs onions cheese turkey sausage. He ordered an orange juice and crab omelette with turkey sausage on the side accompanied with a side of breakfast potatoes. The coffee was good. They give you a huge cup with cream on the side. I liked that. But the breakfast wrap with egg, turkey sausage,onions, tomato and cheese just did not hit the spot. The food was hot when it came out, but it just tasted awful. Now I'm a breakfast eater, and this just did not taste good. The eggs had a strange taste to them as the turkey sausage tasted gross maybe an old taste. The wrap could have used more onions and just more vegetables. The crab meat omelet with cheese and tomatoes, a side of turkey sausage and breakfast potatoes. Toast too. The first thing about this plate was the toast. The toast was extremely overdone crispy hard. Uneatable. The crab omelet looked good but tasted like a buttery accident- the crab meat was shredded and had a extreme buttery taste that over powered any tasted of crab or egg from the omelette. There was few tomatoes too be seen in the omelette - also the breakfast potatoes were well seasoned but also hard and over fried. The turkey sausage had that old package left open taste from the refrigerator. I give this 2 stars because food is a really big thing - but service was awesome - We did not inform the server or anything I think our left overs left on the plates told the story.

Sit under the shade... the patio is a tad bit small but the food was tasty. I decided to go for brunch and had the breakfast. it was a hot morning...very hot so I ended up shifting over to a seat in the shade. the waitstaff is VERY friendly, they switch up and EVERYbody takes care of all customers which is kind of cool! A very people-person environment. The inside is kind of dark but it should be nice. I just like sitting outside. I recommend it! :-)

Found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out. Walked in and was told to find a seat, the table wasn't cleaned yet, so we sat down and the waitress cleaned it for us a few mins later. The menu is small, but everything sounded good. Breakfast: Juniper Street Wrap (no turkey): I like that it was grilled and it tasted better this way, although it need some type of sauce with it. The cheese definitely helped give it some flavor. I got potatoes and fruit...not enough in my opinion, I was assuming that I would get more than 2 slices of fruit (literally) and much more than 6 pieces of potatoes. The large pretty plate looked too empty. It's a very small restaurant, tables are really close to each other and even if you whisper the other customers can still hear your conversation clearly. Parking is hard to find as the parking lot where the restaurant is was filled up, but there's a large parking lot next door which costs about $5.

I visited this spot for brunch with a friend. The service here is a mixed bag. It seemed like there was DIY expectation for you to choose your own table, grab your menu and even clean the table, if it is dirty. However, the servers are very friendly. Be sure to ask for the specials because the menu is quite basic but the chef-server explained several off-the-menu daily specials that would have been terrible to miss. I got the Morrocan beef stew special - it was pleasant combo of spices and heat. Feel free to ask for more naan (bread) if you run out. The interior decor is quite quirky - so many themes. The crowd were of a mixed age group and dressing.

My partner & I visited this place while on vacation. What a treat to find this gem! The menu is small & diverse. The service is superb. The decor is so quaint & eclectic. Delicious food & coffee. In fact, the coffee is so good we bought a bag to take back to Seattle. Yum!

Amelia J.

I live very close to Babs and have been meaning to try it for ages now. Sadly, I was disappointed. The service was EXCELLENT. Incredibly nice and personable staff. They clearly knew their regulars, but were still friendly and ultra-courteous with newbies like myself. But the food was only so-so. The menu was quite small, and I honestly had a hard time finding anything that sounded particularly good. I finally decided on the panini of the day, which was some sort of chicken salad panini. It was about $8, and it was nothing special. The cheese was from-the-bag shredded cheddar, the chicken salad was pretty stock (good, but nothing I couldn't get elsewhere), and if the sandwich had been put in a panini press at all, it was only for a few seconds-- the bread wasn't even warm, much less toasted. This was served with a slice of cantaloupe, watermelon, and orange. The watermelon had gone soft/mealy, and the orange was so dry that it actually looked like it'd been intentionally dehydrated. Overall, I'm disappointed to say Babs wasn't really worth the endeavor. To be honest, I'm floored that the place has such a high star rating on Yelp!

Food portions are great but the service is slow. I like to be seated right away when I get to a restaurant but I think they may be short staffed. Don't go there if you are in a hurry or want fast service. Food is great.

This place rocks! Gotta give it up to the lil' Yelp app for sending me here, bc in no way would I have found Babs without it. After a short stroll from my hotel, I walked into Babs and was a little surprised. Instead of a diner-y, griddle in front spot, it was a small sit down spot with maybe 10 tables (guesstimate). While the breakfast menu is small, the specials double the offerings and they all sounded amazing. I rocked a breakfast burrito with kale and some other stuffings and my bud got a some sort of quinoa, with eggs and Israeli salad on top. Both were absolutely devoured. We planned on coming the next day for breakfast again and ordering the crunch omelet (stuffed with tots) but never made it (wedding hangover). Too bad bc I would've loved rd 2 here. Def go for bfast or lunch if you're in the area!

Brenna S.

I dream of Sunday mornings at Babs all week, and after one visit here, I think you'll know why. There's something special about a place that doesn't really have a menu. I mean they "do" but you wont need it. Everything there is good and the menu is always changing a bit. Get whatever your waiter or waitress recommends because they're awesome and know what they're talking about. The flavors from the food you will eat are going to make you feel like you have a village of happy fairies dancing in your mouth (trust me, that's a good thing). The menu items here tend to have a sort of cajun flair to it, and being from New Orleans I love that about it. Don't take that to mean spicy, though, just that they know how to make flavors work. It's places like this that really drive home the harsh reality of me not being a good cook, but that's ok, because I always know where I can go to get some brunch that soothes the soul. My only gripe might be how long it takes to check out, but who cares? I just ate like a freaking god.

The customer service is nice, and the atmosphere is laid back. The food is good but not amazing but then again the prices aren't high at all. Babs is definitely a place that I would eat at again but not a place that I would drive out of the way for.

We ate brunch here while we were passing through Atlanta for a few hours. Excellent service -- extremely friendly staff, water and coffee were always kept full, and all the rest. The menu offerings were excellent as well. An eclectic mix of ingredients made brunch more exciting (and perhaps more healthy) than the standard omelettes and toast, although standard items were available as well. I had a special: sausage hash with two eggs, fruit, and toast. The hash was warm and gooey with cheese, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. To boot, our food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Needless to say, I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Atlanta!

Julia C.

You must try Babs if you are in Midtown. Staff is wonderful atmosphere is very homey. Food recommendation: get one of the specials. There is really no other way to go. It doesn't matter which special you get, but if they have something with grit cakes....mmmm.

While in Atlanta for the BeyoncÃ© and Jay-Z concert, my friend and I desperately needed a place to brunch. After asking some of the locals and getting the response: "well it's a Tuesday", we took to yelp. After reading through the reviews of brunch places in midtown, we settled on Bab's and were not disappointed. The place is adorable. Tucked away in charming midtown and sporting a patio filled with plants. We walked in and Randy, the owner, greeted us. He immediately suggested the elixir made with fresh fruit and a st. Germain cocktail for my friend. Actually he didn't really suggest-- just said "you'll have that, go sit". Once that decision was made we enjoyed a lovely Tuesday morning on the patio with our delicious cocktails and brunch. We ordered sweet potato fries to start--hand-cut and served hot. They were delicious with the curry mustard. We also split the broccolini and egg wrap and shrimp salad, both of which were daily specials made with ingredients growing right beside us! The food was amazing, and not overpriced one bit. You could really tell all of the ingredients were fresh. After brunch we chatted with Randy about shopping in the area, transportation to the concert, and he even recommended some restaurants where we could eat dinner. However, we were so full from lunch we never got there. I would go back just for the food, but the service was what really made it. I have a feeling most customers enjoy a similar experience and you can really tell Randy cares about what he does. If you're in midtown, you don't want to miss this place!

Liz C.

Good food, but upon looking at the menu again I realized that I didn't get what I ordered. I ordered the Babs chicken salad which, according to the menu, comes with roasted mushrooms, candied almonds, onions, and a bit more. My salad only came with raw red peppers and chicken. To be fair, I was ordering the salad at 10:30am and understand if not everything was prepped for lunch service quite yet.

Nicole L.

They are so rude!!! From the moment I walked in. The waiter told me he would not add any extra cinnamon to my French toast but would bring it to me to put on myself (dry)... We asked for honey for tea and he brought out a very sticky honey jar. The space is extra small (tight), so not good for large parties. We had four adults and two kids and it was a challenge for us to sit in the back next to two other tables. I should have stayed home and made breakfast. Ugh!!!!! If you have a choice head to Highland Bakery, it will be worth the wait. Fresh food, quick and warm food without the attitude.

Dayna B.

I am so happy we found this gem in Midtown. The food was fresh, interesting and delicious. I had a special, The Cruncher omelette: tater tots, cheese, and I believe sausage. I also had the St Germaine mimosa which with good champagne. The food was great but for me the customer service was the real winner. Randy helped us figure out the best options and gave me and my boyfriend tips on places to go in Atlanta. He was even nice enough to give us a ride. (Don't expect him to drive you anywhere, call Uber for that lol). I would love to return here for breakfast/brunch. Why go to a chain restaurant when you can eat at a local cool tasty Midtown joint?

Justin W.

Simple, seasonal, and delicious fare with a smile just off Juniper street! I have enjoyed everything I have ever eaten here during my many visits, from perfectly executed sweet potato fries (served with a spiced curry dipping sauce) and delicious panini stuffed with marinated chicken and brie cheese to an amazing list of omelettes as long as my arm, each perfectly seasoned and unique in it's own way. Babs' brunch, which is offered each weekend and features a different theme each time, is also always well-executed and tasty. Long live Babs!

A beautiful restaurant. We sat outside at noon on a Wednesday, right next to the fountain and flowers. The service was incredible, our coffee cups never got below half empty and our food came out very quickly. The server answered all our questions about the history of the restaurant and informed us that they privately source their coffee and they use as much from their own garden as possible. We ordered the bagel and lox and shakshuka special. The lox they smoke themselves so it's a unique taste but delicious. The shakshuka was perfectly seasoned, spicy but not over salted. Already planning to return before we leave atlanta.

Sadly, I was disappointed in this place to the point of writing a review. I was happy that it was within walking distance and looked forward to trying it last weekend. Met two friends who I hadn't seen in a while and we weren't treated very well. Waiter was fine, but whoever was in charge, either the mgr or owner was quite rude. From the moment we arrived, he appeared annoyed that we were there and made several comments that were borderline derogatory. Not the way to win new customers. Food was good - and none of us minded the limited menu. But the service and uncomfortable atmosphere was a complete turn off. We won't be back.

Damn good food followed with awesome service! Our breakfast Stromboli came out super fast and was absolutely delicious! It was layered with eggs tomatoes and spinach. The pastry was buttery and light, slightly crunchy. I will definitely be back. Only thing I'm sad about is this is the first time I've been here. Why didn't I come sooner???

Had lots of really good reviews so we came... They were out of the few things we wanted to try and the saki Bloody Mary was not good. Had the meatloaf panini and was awful. Service was friendly but super slow even tho they weren't that busy it was after the Saturday brunch rush around 2. Won't be back babs was bad.

Lee H.

So the food was good and well priced, but I probably won't ever go back because of how unsanitary everything was. I am sure what happened to me was a freak accident, which is why I still gave it 3 stars. But basically, after drinking my coffee for a few sips I realized there were two boogers connected by a nose hair on the rim of the mug. (Thankfully not where I was drinking) They weren't mine, and it was pretty gross. If not for that, I would have really liked the place

Babs is a really different sort of restaurant and I love it. Brenna S. and I wandered over on a recent Sunday morning to find a delightful little patio tucked away in the middle of midtown. I have to admit that I have driven past this location probably 100 times and have never noticed Babs. The weather was perfect so we sat outside. Inside is pretty tiny, but in a cozy and inviting sort of way. The atmosphere is like an awesome neighborhood gathering place where everyone is related and you are immediately invited into the family. The waitress was adorable. She sat down with us and told us all about the menu. The way it works at Babs is you go in with an open mind because the menu is always changing (at least for brunch). It seems like basically whatever the chef wants to make that day he makes. Apparently sometimes there is a theme of the day and sometimes it's just random. Personally, I like this style. It's kind of like going to someone's house and saying cook me something delicious and BAM they make exactly what you want and you love it. The delightful little lady told us all about the dishes of the day. Of what I can remember, they had a breakfast crab risotto, a cruncher omelette with ham, tomatoes, hash browns and bacon, black eye pea cakes topped with eggs, a bagel dish, soup, a breakfast Stromboli and two or three more. Though the menu was fairly limited, they did have at least two vegetarian options and I'm sure they would be flexible about tweaking other dishes to make them vegetarian. Everything sounded amazing, but I went with the Stromboli and it was outrageously good. It was a perfectly flaky pastry dough filled with ham, tomatoes, bacon and egg topped with a hollandaise(ish) sauce. It was served with fruit, sourdough toast and potatoes for $13. Babs is a place I can't wait to get back to. I love going somewhere and having no idea what I'm going to get. If you are a picky eater, you may want to call in advance, but the food was all amazing so you should just toss caution to the wind and give it a go!

I am so disappointed by this place. We went here because of the rave reviews by my fellow Yelpers. Free parking! Score! The decor of the restaurant is rustic and hipster-ish. The coffee is really good. I had the veggie egg white omelet with goat cheese, mushrooms, and spinach. My fiance had the same thing except it wasn't egg white. It came with roasted potatoes and toast. While I loved the potatoes, I didn't care for the omelet. It didn't really have any taste! My fiance was practically drowning it in hot sauce so he could eat it. Besides that, the omelet was nice and fluffy and the portions were huge. Service was a kind of slow as well and it wasn't even a busy day. All in all, I wouldn't come back.

Came with my wife and 4 kids. Asked around the table and everyone loved what they got! When I asked my 4yr old what he thought on a scale of 1-5 he said 100!! It's awesome food and some of the best coffee in the city!! The staff is great, very kind and fun to talk with. Heck I even enjoyed walking to the bathroom, it's just a neat place. Prob not the best place to bring kids because of the size of the building but the staff took very good care of my kids and had kid friendly drinking cups and plates

Mohammad M.

First, I have to say that we didn't eat here so I'm rating purely on customer service. We were a party of 10 from out of town trying to have brunch on a Sunday, so it was nearly impossible. I called ahead and Bab's was kind enough to reserve a table for us. We got there as soon as we could and our table was ready. Once we got there we realized that half of our party couldn't eat there due to dietary restrictions (should've checked the menu before!). Despite holding that table for 10 open for us for over an hour and then we didn't even eat there, they were still so nice and weren't upset at all. The food from what I can tell looked amazing and I will definitely be back (with a smaller group that can eat the food here). But they definitely value their customer here and that's something I always value so 5 stars all around!

Dorothy W.

the employees are so sweet and the food is great! got the special: sausage pimento pepper hash with eggs on top, toast, and fruit. All for about $10. Plus the food came out in under 10 minutes and the owner offered to buy me a drink when I told him I was visiting from out of town. I mean... can it get any better?
(5)
Shelly G.

Came here for brunch and was seated immediately--at noon on a Sunday, which is amazing! The menu is small but everything looked good. I got the daily special, which was two eggs sunny side up with farro with oyster mushrooms and pickled carrots, toasted pita bread, and two pieces of fruit on the side. It was an interesting combo but delicious. My friend got the traditional breakfast, eggs with your choice of cheese, crispy bacon (not that soggy crap), toast, and fruit. Service was great, food was delish. Overall a great experience!

Thomas T.

Cozy and outstanding food. Service was excellent - very friendly, made us feel as if we were part of the family. All the dishes seemed to be of healthier ingredients, which is great. Definitely worth repeating. Not a lot of seating and seemed to be best for parties of two to four.

Gerald E.

Tucked away on the side of a building is a small quaint restaurant called Babs. Now Babs is a quiet fellow with just enough pop to water your tastebubs. The service was good, however, this was an off day for them as they made several mistakes like bringing me the wrong drink. They corrected the mistake by making the drink on the house and even bringing my friend a drink. Great way to correct the mistake. They made us feel welcomed. The food was good. Parking is reserved. Location is superb being on a main street but you still may have to look for it, or just GPS it. Give it the ol Sunday Brunch try. You will enjoy it.

While my trip to The ATL was largely successful (thanks Niners!), I left Atlanta without completing one major task - getting some legit chicken and waffles. Or grits, for that matter. Sure, I might have been saved from a non-breakfast of champions, but that's not the point! I mean, what do you think gyms are for? Just a few blocks from our hotel, we headed over to Babs to grab brunch before heading off to catch the Niners-Falcons game. The place isn't large, but it's a cute little joint. Whether seated outside or in, it certainly didn't feel like we were sitting and eating in the middle of what felt like a mostly busy and lively area. After scanning through the menu, I decided to go with the BIRD'S NEST special that our server had rattled off. Although it sounded like a TON of food (potato hash with sweet potatoes, parsnips, pastrami, and asiago cheese with a spring salad, two over easy eggs, and toast), it really wasn't that bad. Or I was just that hungry... Despite the long laundry list of components though, the dish didn't come off as very exciting for me. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the pieces of pastrami were okay, but I couldn't taste much of it or anything else in the hash besides the potatoes. Not that it was a huge problem since it still tasted okay, but perhaps a bit more cheese and/or pastrami would have helped make it stand out. Even though I wasn't as impressed with Babs as other Yelpers, I really feel like it was because of my particular dish and not their food on the whole. Seeing what other tables had, and reading some of their reviews, I can't help but feel like getting something else would have made this review quite different. Not bad all in all, especially considering we were confined to the area around our hotel. I still wished we had tried some legit fried chicken and waffles though...

Thanks to the 2 hour wait at West Egg that I refused to put my name down for, I discovered Babs on Yelp. I went on Sunday for brunch around 1pm and I'm glad I did!! They did not have free designated parking, so my friend and I parked on the street. The place is small, but usually the mom and pop type places like this are the best! We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated and everyone helping us was extremely nice. I ordered their crab omelette, which was huge and delicious...just the right amount of crab meat. It was served with potatoes. My friend ordered the risotto, which was also tasty. My huge blood orange mimosa was the best!!! I'm awful with names, so I don't remember the the names of everyone who helped us, but they topped our first visit off with a coconut and banana creme slice of cake on the house. I don't like coconut...but this cake...delicious! Moist, not too sweet, and full of flavor. I will definitely be taking my husband here. Great people, great drinks, great food...what more can you ask for?

Love this place. When I stay in Midtown, I try and come here for breakfast. The guys working do a great job--usually there is one server and one cook. So come in, sit & enjoy your coffee. They offer one or two daily breakfast specials although I normally get the standard eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. It's always good! I have been probably 8-10 times and love it. Consistent, fresh, cooked to order & quality ingredients.

Veronica X.

I like the homey neighborhood feel, I like the farm-to-table concept, but I don't get the food. We were a little disappointed to see a very small menu for Sunday brunch, but thanks to yelp, I asked about the specials and guess what, there were more specials than regulars (at least sounded that way). I was a little lost as the young waitress was pulling different specials with all kinds of interesting ingredients out of her head, so I picked one without really knowing what I got myself into, except that she said she liked the turnip greens in it. It was some kind of hash brown cake that came with two eggs, some roasted potatoes, a few pieces of fruits and two slices of multigrain toasts. Nothing really special and it was bland. Since I am not a fan of regular potatoes, I prefer not to have roasted potatoes automatically included in my meal. I did, however, take comfort in the thought that none of my arteries was getting blocked with this breakfast consumption. The Gladiator was more like the traditional breakfast you can get anywhere: eggs, bacons, plus roasted potatoes, fruits and toasts -- keywords: nothing special. With two beverages (coffee and tea), a simple breakfast for two cost $25 before tax. I guess the price is not too bad for midtown Atlanta but there should be at least a few places where I can get tastier breakfast for less.

Babs is a one-of-a-kind Midtown eatery. Don't judge a book by it's cover because this unassuming breakfast/lunch joint will surprise you. We stop in often and always have a great experience. Randy manages every detail of the menu incorporating fresh ingredients and seasonal produce. One of my favorites is the spinach, portobello mushroom and goat cheese omelet, it'll melt in your mouth. Everything's delicious, especially the Blood Orange Marmalade!

I've been going to this place for years, and I have enjoyed a nice majority of my experiences here. You get excellent, freshly-prepared food, with herbs from their garden, and in limited quantities of their specials. While some people have shared their thoughts on the service being a bit rude, I would say to them that the chiding and the mocjing is really part of their charm. For a place named after a John Waters character titled "The Filthiest Person in the World", the kitsch and relaxed atmosphere of the place, peppered with Divine memorabilia makes the place dear to my heart. On weekdays, this is my secret place to have a satisfying lunch without going to a bustling restaurant with lots of din. On the weekends, I jump at the opportunity to have brunch with friends here. Just remember to get there before 3pm!

What can I say other than Food Orgasm-worthy. Fresh food made with passion and Love. If you are looking for a hearty breakfast with an indie vibe and seasoned fresh picks, Babs is it :) Also love the element of surprise, everytime I go the menu is different-they are truly inspired by the food fairys!

Mediocre to bad pre-made food, temperamental staff and questionable cleanliness. We arrived for a late (11:00) breakfast excited to try a new place with good reviews. The first server was a pleasant young woman. In the dim cramped basement space, we sat next to a window. Things on the menu seemed lower priced and the specials sounded good so I ordered the hash special with eggs over medium. After adjusting to the space we noticed the vertical blinds on the window splattered with food. A trip to the restroom sends one past a mess of a kitchen. I received a cold slice of a pre-made, unrecognizable conglomerate of "food" topped with over-light eggs and cold roasted potatoes on the side. The hash would compare to one of those breakfast casseroles someone makes from mixing frozen ingredients with tons of cheese, served at a potluck where it sat a while. My companion went with scrambled eggs and bacon. They added cheese she didn't ask for and the bacon was like jerky. After we were served, the server checked in but never came back. After eating then waiting another 20 mins, it must have been my first mistake to ask for the check, then when my portion was significantly more expensive, I asked that my companion and I be charged separately. The curt person (who MUST be Randy according to similar reviews) apparently didn't hear me say yes when asked if I wanted a copy of the receipt. (I've never been asked that at a restaurant, theres just always a customer copy of the receipt.) He offered a receipt again as we departed and when I said yes, scolded me about saying no the first time. I told him I had said yes at the table which made him angry, argumentative and insulting. I'm a grown man so I didn't jump in his childish dramatics. We don't know the inner workings of each other. But when your business is to host and feed people, the LEAST you could do is not insult your guests. I'm a paying, tipping, Yelp reviewing customer. I should leave your business at a minimum willing to give you another try, at best excitedly bringing more friends in next time. There will be no next time nor recommendation. They need to serve freshly cooked food, keep the place clean and practice some emotional intelligence.

Great food, great atmosphere! Babs is a great choice for a casual meal with friendly service. There's a patio for pretty days, as well as seating indoors. (Don't miss the snow globe collection!) They make a great ham-and-cheese panini! Easy walking distance from hotels and the Midtown Mile.

When we arrived there was a five minute wait for seating, which was fine, but every time we moved around one of the servers was shouting at us that we would be seated soon -- as if moving in and of itself was an extreme display of impatience. Our overpriced food was completely unremarkable. The undersized serving of breakfast potatoes was dry and bland, lacking any kind of seasoning whatsoever. We were served a piece of beautiful fruit that was inedible because of all the seeds. Oh, and we paid $9.75 for mimosas, with ice in them. You can get bottomless mimosas, proper ones, in Atlanta for $12-15. The biggest waste of a $50 brunch experience.

Once again, why didn't I write a review for this place last time I came? Oh...cause I was busy eating the chicken/brie sandwich and sweet fries...whilst driving to SC!! LOL I came by again because I needed to relive that taste of brie melting in my mouth...so I dragged the fam in at 9am on a weekday. They open at 8:30am! :) Got myself a chicken/brie sandwich to share with Dad and my sister and mom shared the omelette and they didn't quite like the crabmeat in it. ( I think it's their Asian tongue..so do not mind them.) Randy...got me a wonderful choc/mocha coffee goodness served in a Friends cup...it was perfect, no sugar needed...i had to get one to-go! Once again...the Southern hospitality was welcoming...and tempting me to come live here! Tip-bits: Sweet fries a must! Private parking lot The cafe is on the R on the one way street Dash and dine parking available

This place was such a treat. It was pretty busy because of the Peachtree Road Race, but our service was still fast and sassy. Randy was great. Pomegranate blueberry lemonade, fluffy french toast... my friend really enjoyed his corned beef hash too. All in all, it was a great time. Plus Randy stuck around to chat with my table when things slowed down. He also works with Affairs to Remember, a catering company, and they happened to cater the wedding I was in town for. Also delicious. Would totally go back to Babs.

got there at 1:30 pm on a Sunday .. it was not busy Ok the service was extremly slow. Considering it was not that busy .. had plenty of empty tables.. I think our server must have been tired or something..When he finally took our order I order the waffles with cheese eggs and bacon. My partner got the standard breakfast scrabble eggs with cheese potatoes and sausage. We got our food about 27 minutes later the food 75% of it was COLD. The eggs had no cheese in them so he brought out some shredded cheese to sprinkle over the COLD eggs... how ghetto! The food preparation was nothing special it actually looked like Mcdonalds big breakfast served on a plate triple the cost. Along with that either it was the manager or host he was talking VERY LOUD with another guest , making jokes which I am all for having a good time but not to where its disturbing other guest.. Even though eating the cold eggs was not a HIGH POINT.. I must say this is my first and last time coming to this severely overrated and over reviewed restaurant. I would not come here if the FOOD WAS FREE. I'm just glad I got a parking spot where I didn't have to pay for that too.. I really think they owners need to rethink their how they come accross to customers . also make sure YOUR NOT SERVING COLD FOOD and with SLOW SERVICE.

This place brings a smile to my face. It's small and unique and cozy. There are lots of things to look at, from snowglobes, to dolls to framed art. The ambiance made my dining experience entertaining. I chose a breakfast of eggs, bacon, French toast, potatoes and sangria. The sangria came in a nicely portioned, large glass which is exactly how I like my sangria. It's like Babs was reading my mind. I'm not joking when I say that everything was delicious. The eggs were scrambled well, yet still fluffy. The French toast was spackled with powdered sugar. The bacon and potatoes followed suit and were equally yummy. Just what you'd expect from a good, homemade breakfast. Service was great. I even had a second server check in on me. And because of the friendliness of the staff and the atmosphere, I got to know fellow patrons at a table close by, as the staff heard us talking about the same thing and decided to introduce us. Definitely a cool restaurant with a fun vibe.

On my son's recommendation, I decided to make this a place to meet for business on a Saturday morning, which happened to be during music midtown. There was no one there, which made me think it wasn't open. I walked in and asked if they were and if we could sit outside. Answer "Nooo! (long pause) Yes... hahaha." Being off guard, I still wasn't sure if they were open or if we just couldn't sit outside. Finally we sat down and another waiter came out with an even more difficult disposition to gauge. I realize that catty humor is fun to a lot of people, but that's not what I want at 9am and when I am with a client. I was called "small" several times (even though I was always seated), and the person I was meeting with was insulted by what she was wearing (and she was dressed very professionally, by the way) and it just got over the top quickly, even to insist that we pay with cash to support small business. When I paid with a credit card, they suggested that I work it off in the garden. I dunno... it could have been just me but I had a really good breakfast meeting despite my attendee being put off by the out of drag personality of the staff. The food was pretty good, the prices were decent....but I just don't think I am going to go back. The waiter later said he has comped the bill for people before if they would agree to just not come back. I totally believe him. He admitted that many just don't get his humor. I "get" his humor, but I think it killed the experience, honestly. I think it would be a great place for someone to take a friend that enjoys being ridiculed for fun...but it's a terrible place to take a business associate or a client. Bottom line, Babs is what it is... and people seem to enjoy it for the humor. I just don't enjoy flying daggers of insults as entertainment.

Babs is great! The menu is creative and they've got a number of daily specials - we've gone for brunch and had a great variety to choose from, all of which were heavy on fresh produce and flavor. The service is consistently excellent and the super-sassy staff always does a good job of making us feel right at home. We popped in for brunch on my boyfriend's birthday, expecting it to be just like every other time we've gone... but that was until Randy got wind of the special occasion, when he promptly brought out two 16 oz. mimosas (of the extra-strong birthday variety) and, later on, an awesome slice of chocolate cake on the house. (He doesn't sing, so don't worry.) I love the atmosphere, the location, and the fact that we feel like we're going to a friend's house instead of a restaurant. I will certainly be back again (and again).

Steven B.

First off, easy parking. From the outside Babs doesn't look like much and it would be easy to pass right on by. Once inside, though, you find yourself asking "who are these crazy queens and what's that stuff on the walls?" (drag queens, snow globes, movie posters and a high number of fish for a restaurant that's not Asian). Once you ask, the crazy queens are more then happy to explain it to you. The food is your basic standard fare reorganized and served in a non-standard way if you so choose. Listen close to the specials since they are usually the most adventurous spins on old favorites. Also available are canned preserved vegetables and jams. It's like a visit to grandmas house for brunch if grandma had tattoos and a passing love affair with Divine.

Justin C.

We flew into Atlanta for brief visit and decided to visit Babs based on other great review we read here on Yelp. It did not disappoint! Randy was a friendly, entertaining host who made witty conversation and even picked peppers from his garden for us to try. The food was innovative and presented beautifully. The bread pudding was decadent, and everything had a very fresh taste. Loved this place- would definitely make a point to return in the future! (Review by Lindsey)

Babs is just OK. I would not return. We had Sunday breakfast here in early May. Thumbs up for the cute & funky decor/atmosphere. But the menu items were just so-so. The french toast plate has very little toast - one small slice with scrambled eggs and bacon and a little bit of fruit (packaged syrup). The Greek omelette featured feta cheese and crab - any other ingredients noted on the menu were not noticable. The omelette was in definite need of some sort of sauce or 'salsa'. Service was nice enough to refill water, coffee and iced tea glasses. Frankly I put it on a par with IHOP or Denny's in food quality and flavor, which is not saying anything positive.

Great place for brunch! Local restaurant, and many of the vegies/herbs are grown outside the restaurant. Staff is friendly and funny, and the menu is great. We had steak eggs benedict & an omelet with ricotta cheese & shrimp. Everything was delicious. Oh yeah - Best Coffee in town. Go for the coffee.

It has been a long time since I have been to Atlanta, but I had been pre-scouting the restaurants before coming. What I quickly realized is that not many got good reviews. This place, on the other hand, has and SG thought it was a good spot to walk to and have breakfast. He had eaten here once before and enjoyed it. This is a pretty unassuming place off the more major street. It is in the downstairs/basement area of a mixed retail building.The building has some character with brick and the outdoor seating is surrounded by gardens and fountain. The weather was slightly uncharacteristic Atlanta, warm but very comfortable and a very light sprinkle. We stepped inside to let them know that we would be dining outside. The waiter came out immediately to offer drinks and menus and cleaned our table. The coffee came before we knew it. The special of the day was a crunchy omelette with hash browns inside.... intersting. But not tempting enough. The menu is small. No pancakes or french toast. Some very appealing omelettes, wraps, etc.Both of us found the omelettes appealing and ordered.I ordered the smoked turkey with cheddar and scallion omelette with sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes. SG got the ham, swiss and roma tomato omelette with the potatoes. Both were served also with a bread side.And, they were $7 or a$8 and change respectively. CHEAP, relative to most Atlanta fare. There was also a decent amount. Just moments before our breakfast was served, I heard the door open behind me and then reopen again just under a minute later.I smelled the best smell of basil after than. I knew there must be a garden near by. Sure enough, breakfast came out and the waiter had taken the liberty of dressing up my sliced tomatoes with fresh basil. I am a sucker for fresh items. As it turns out, they grow most of their herbs that they use in their food and have a small garden with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, spearmint, and most of the common cooking herbs. The omelettes were very fluffy and full of the fixins. The bread was good and the butter on the side for your own skimpy or generous application. The potatoes actually looked great! Overall, very generous for the price and DELICIOUS. I loved the combination of the cheddar and smoked turkey and SG seemed to really like his ham and swiss. My tomatoes and fresh basil were great. The basil really added to the tomatoes was SOOOO FRESH and not even a browned edge on them. The waiter was excellent. He made sure the coffees were never low and that we were well taken care of. He even showed me around the garden and shared the restaurants passion of using fresh herbs. I have great respect for that and both enjoyed my meal and the special attention that we got during out breakfast. I am glad this is close to SG so that he can enjoy it often.l

The food was great, everyone I came with finished everything on their plates and everyone commented on how yummy the food was. However, the menu here is just too limited (I think they just had omelets and waffles on the menu). While we liked the food, we felt that if we came back, we would just be eating the same food again. Food and service were great but not sure I'd come back here unless the menu changes so we can try new entrees!

Billy W.

This place is a wonderful breath of fresh air, fresh food, lively and entertaining service. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. There's always something new on the menu along with fantastic specials. You might be told what you want to eat and drink for Sunday brunch, I'd recommend going with the flow if you can, I've always had good results! Food and drinks can get a little pricy, but it's always good, and I'll be coming back often!

I went to this restaurant based on reviews of the area, and I have to say that I think that people are throwing 5's out a bit too easily. I would like to give it a four, but I think that a three is more fair to try to even things out a bit. We were there for a Saturday brunch about 11:00 AM. Three of us had omelettes (two "crunchy" omelettes and one goat cheese and portabella), and one had the Juniper street breakfast (bacon, eggs, toast and fruit). Pros: Excellent coffee Good entertaining service Generous meal portions Affordable price Cons: Food was good, but not mind blowing like other reviews led me to believe. The crunchy omelettes had ham, cheese, and hashbrowns inside. Again, tasty, but for me it was a bit too oily, and the hashbrowns were not very crunchy. A great idea, but the execution was so-so. All this being said, I would go back, and I would suggest others to go. However, I personally believe that a place with 4.6/5.0 should pretty much blow your mind, and Babs just didn't do that for me this time.

Meghan L.

I met my friend here at 10am on a Sunday for breakfast / brunch. The ambiance is nice and the food was decent, but the treatment from the staff was not the most positive experience. They rushed us to order, rushed us to finish, rushed us to pay, and then, less than a minute after we paid stopped by to tell us that we needed to leave the table because they had a lot of business that morning. It made the entire experience un-enjoyable having them breathing down our necks the entire time. And to be clear, we were not there for more than 30-40 minutes, tops. Don't worry guys, I won't inconvenience you again. Free parking would have been nice too.

Karly G.

Really dug the atmosphere, but found the menu pretty limited and not really anything light or healthy on their menu. I ordered the Babs Best Omelet which I threw up later that day- pretty sure I got food poisoning from the crab. My boyfriend got the pulled pork, cornbread omelet which was pretty good.

While visiting Atlanta with my partner the first week of August, we were pointed to Babs by the lovely desk clerk at our hotel (Hotel Indigo,) when we asked for a great place to get brunch that would be pet friendly. We opted to sit outside on the patio (that reminded me of the porches my family had in the South when I was a child,) because we had the dog in tow. Not only was the staff accommodating, but relished in giving the dog treats and petting her as she ate it up like the love-sponge she is. The omelets we ordered were amazingly delicious and impossibly fluffy, and the Bellinis were heaven on that typically humid August morning. The entire meal was completely worth sitting outside (though the ceiling fans helped to cool it off a bit,) and enjoying nature. Afterwards, we decided to ask the staff if they knew of any LGBT friendly places we might go to make our Saturday night a bit more exciting. Turns out, we asked the perfect person! Randy not only knew of every place in town we *had* to see, but he gave us door passes and drink tickets to use at a bar that night. Though we didn't make it to that bar, we did make it to the Palomar rooftop for drinks and Ecco for dinner as he recommended. Anyone visiting Atlanta and looking for a great meal in a lovely atmosphere and all being overseen by a wonderfully helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff needs to make sure to stop in Babs! It will clear up any questions you have about what exactly it means to have "Southern Hospitality".

Went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning, More like one and half stars. The main points of my one visit (I don't plan to return) are: Positives: 1. Cheerful, attentive service 2. Nice location and establishment; tucked away (almost can't be seen from the street) Negatives: 1. Mediocre food - I ordered a breakfast egg wrap and was thoroughly underwhelmed. I don't really remember what it tasted like; neither the taste, nor the texture distinguished themselves. The coffee also tasted like percolator-style, burnt Waffle House brew; not bad by itself but overpriced for what it was. Which brings me to the second point... 2. Overpriced - Everything about Babs' food screams "greasy spoon diner", except the prices and the names of the dishes. I paid an extra $2.25 for "fruit and potatoes", only to find out that "fruit" means a thin sliver of watermelon and a slice of orange that was more peel than (dried out) pulp To summarize, I'm not going back.

This place was awesome! We're in town for the weekend and stumbled across this place for breakfast. The crunchy omlette was one of the best breakfasts we've ever had. Cornmeal waffle was incredible and the coffe was fantastic. We'd be here weekly if we lived in town!

Casey G.

Not for the easily offended :) Great, small, neighborhood gem. I've been several times for brunch, and it only gets better. Don't come in here with an attitude because Randy will put you in your place (as he should). We even left with nicknames. Great coffee, excellent breakfast.

Food: pretty basic brunch food. limited menu. executed pretty decently, but nothing really sets it apart in my mind. Drinks: dunno, we were there before noon on a sunday. OJ was not fresh squeezed. Value: a couple dollars more expensive for each of the menu items than i might expect based on what we got. Ambiance: This is a great spot for locals. the decor is unique and the staff is fun. Relaxed atmosphere - didn't feel rush. Service: good. Recommended for locals.

Sunday brunch. Sat outside. Ordered: - sweet tea - OK - grilled chicken and brie panini - DELICIOUS - goat cheese and portobello mushroom omelet with sweet potato fries - OK - some kind of "Asian" salad with strange-looking grilled chicken breast - OK Service was OK, friendly, but after we got our food nonexistent. If I ever went again, I will stick with the paninis.

While visiting Atlanta a few weeks ago we discovered this little gem while looking for brunch that wasn't too crowded. So glad we stopped here! The food was just incredible (omelet with balsamic infused tomatoes, shrimp, goat cheese and basil on trip one and roast beef panini with gorgonzola and caramelized onions on trip 2) and the owner, who helped us most of the time, Randy was fun and hilarious. It seems a lot of their items are grown on and off site by the owners which is a double bonus. We loved it so much we came back before leaving Atlanta with more friends. Definitely come with not only an empty stomach but a sense of humor and/or thick skin because Randy will tease you to death!

Bobbin W.

My favorite thing about Babs is that the restaurant is named after Babs Johnson from John Waters' cult flick Pink Flamingos. A framed portrait of the female impersonator sits on the windowsill in one of the dining nooks. Anyway, I discovered this charming basement eatery while searching for a Midtown lunch spot near my friend's office. Many a Yelper sing its praises, so I printed two free beverage coupons off Babs' website and headed on over. Both of us enjoyed the day's salad special: pecan- and panko-crusted chicken over a bed of mixed field greens, shining with balsamic vinaigrette. Chopped red pepper and squash plus dollops of goat cheese added the perfect gastronomic ka-POW! With my free cup of piping tea, my lunch total rang in at just under $10.

After an extraordinarily late drunken night before, headache looming, and stomach growling, I trudged down Juniper street with our "yelp empress", and oversized sunglasses in tow. I needed food stat! You could probably miss this place if you drove by to fast, but thank goodness I had aguide to show me the way. They have a pretty small brunch menu which consisted of a few breakfast items, and sandwiches.I ordered the big butch breakfast ( hey it was gay pride weekend so they had special dish names lol) Which was a plate of french toast and other goodies! Can't wait to go back and try out their lunch!

This was a pretty solid place for brunch. I had sweet potato waffles which came with eggs (mine were scrambled with cheese), potatoes sprinkled with parmesan, two strips of bacon and a cherry topping for the waffles. It was pretty good fare, although the bacon might have been a touch over done (I am picky about my bacon!). I really liked the casual, laid back atmosphere as well. It was nice enough to sit outside, but I opted for an indoor table. I was alone, but never felt weird, like you do in some places, eating by myself. Other patrons were friendly towards me, eyeing my big plate of yumminess when they came in. The service was great and they were all very friendly and prompt. Probably the best part was the pomegranate, blueberry lemonade. I would go back just for that!

Thanks fellow yelpers for this find. I have walked past the building many times and never had a reason to go in, until I read your reviews yesterday. I've even had coffee several times in boring old Starbucks a block away, to wash down a dry oversweet pastry. But this morning I went to Babs instead and met the famous Randy and had a really good omelet. Its a good experience, and will elevate your day from boring to special. Just dont be sensitive when Randy insults you. Cause he will!

Bab's is one of the best brunch places in Atlanta. Randy is a hoot to talk to and always knows what you want before you do. I recommend the Artichoke Bites and ordering whatever the special is. This is a regular spot on my brunch list.

Babs was our best eating experience in a recent trip to Atlanta. Great, eclectic and casual atmosphere in a mostly ressidential neighborhood. We came on a Sunday morning for brunch and had some delicious never ending glasses of Blueberry Lemonade, an italian egg white omelette with Steak and Mozarella cheese as well some traditional scrambeled eggs, with bacon, a fruit salad and home style potatoes. Everything delicious and the staff was wonderful!

Talk about the luckiest walk down Juniper EVER! Not sure where to go with this. . .the food, the atmosphere, the service. They were all AMAZING. I went out on a limb for me and did the special of the day and was SO glad I did. This great little place is exactly why I miss Atlanta. . .superb food in a quaint atmosphere that's fabulous and just quirky enough to ensure you're paying attention. I'm a sucker for the details, so the carafe of sweet tea and the mantle full of snow globes sucked me in immediately. Bab's will be a do-again!!

Stacey S.

My husband and I ate here this morning-what a great place! I had the bagel and salmon plate, he had the juniper street breakfast wrap, both were really yummy. Randy also brought over some fried green tomatoes they had picked from their garden that morning, and they were awesome, with a delicious sauce. It was really nice to make a connection with the guys there, they were super personable-I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Atlanta..

Ginger S.

This place is really good. We've been here several times for breakfast. We like their juniper street breakfast, pastry puff, and omelets. Their breakfast potatoes are excellent as well. The omelets that we like are their special "different" omelet with chicken and their "special" omelet with salmon. On Sundays, they make fresh squeezed juices, which are SOO good. This morning, they had orange, apple, and ginger. The service is really great, very friendly, and personal. This is one of our favorite breakfast places!!

Bab's storefront and signage faces the wrong way on a one way street. A tricky move I'd like to use as a metaphor for my dining experience. Backwards logic. As our waiter Randy managed to berate us in a friendly and enjoyable manner, the coffee was lovingly refilled. As my future plans were mocked, I was served a delicious omelet. And as we paid our bill, he suggested that my fashionista friend's shirt was from Sears. I left hangover looming, but in a surprisingly good mood. I'm sure the attention would be adjusted accordingly, but we were all having fun and I feel like I have a new friend. I probably drove past two or three breakfast places that I love on my way, but I'll make a point of coming back. Just remember to keep your eyes on your rear view mirror.

One doesn't write a review for the food or service alone. It's an intangible quality like the one you get at Babs from the moment you arrive. The lovingly cared for garden area where the grow some of their own herbs. The children's table next to the flowers and fountain. The little birds that peck from the feeders, and from little bits of food thrown in their direction. This is as "Disneysh*t" as it gets. On one of my last visits, a day off from the rat race if ever I needed one, I sat outside on a gorgeous sunny Friday under the shade of an umbrella near the fountain and felt instant nirvana, even without food or drink. A member of the staff came out almost instantly and I ordered a mimosa, no sparking fruit filled beverage as it was Friday unfortunately, and a cup of the watermelon gazpacho. The plate had ice around the bowl to ensure it stayed chilled. It was light, spicy and spot on perfect. No extra seasonings needed. As I was in the mood for one of the regular menu paninis, the chicken/tomato/brie, I got half of that with the previously mentioned soup of the day. But I could not forgive myself if I didn't get Randy's sweet potatoe fries. They're crispy and tender but a little outdated of course. What saves them and makes them something I have to get on each visit? The curry, siracha mustard sause that's served with them. I want to be embalmed with this stuff when I die. It's creamy, spicy and just plain damn addictive. So for someone who needed a much deserved day off from work I get instant nirvana, a refreshing, spicy cup of watermelon gazpacho, half of a solid panini, addictive fries and a mimosa. Total... 18 bucks. I'll take this over a spa visit any day. The service was wonderful as always, and yes they can be quirky at times (one of the reasons I eat here), and helped add to my eventual pleasure coma. So much so that I left a 35 percent tip. It was either leave the rest of the cash with me that I had taken out for the day or throw it away on something later. I think I made the better choice. So if you go on a weekend for brunch, and don't listen to Jennifer B who make comments like "people of that nature", let Randy order for you. I made the mistaken of not letting him do it last week and though the food was good, it didn't have that unexpected zing like some of the past things he's selected, like lentils with poached eggs and a side salad, toast and fruit. I won't be making that same mistake again, i.e. ordering for myself. And most of all, just relax, linger and enjoy yourself. After all, in this increasingly corporate logo driven restraunt game, little gems like Babs need all the loyals customers they can get. I'm definitely glad to say we will be two of those.

Our favorite place in ATL for breakfast / brunch ... food is always great and Randy & co. always entertaining!

Fail. How do you serve someone coffee with two used sweet and lows floating in the bottom? What is the appropriate response? Do yourself a favor and go to Einsteins on 10th. Food is better and you don't have to drink someone else's backwash. I get being a small business, but attitude issues from the owner (soup natzish) isn't cool.

We visited "Babs" for the 1st time on Mother's Day of 2011. The service was a tad standoffish & at certain points quiet rude. I'm a girl who runs with people who know what they like & don't need to be told what they want. If you are like us then this might not be the spot for you. Having hung out plenty of times with people of that nature we adapted quickly, but if your not prepared it will take you off guard. I ordered the Crab Cake Wrap & the others got told what they wanted without an explanation of what it was they were getting. My mother (who was the most important) LOVED it & Randy. She got the sparkling pome. drink with the Stromboli breakfast special. My brother got what was only described to him as a "crunch omelet" & was less than pleased. The hash browns that were inside the omelet were of the frozen kind & came with a side of freezer burnt. My Crab wrap was...o.k...not bursting with flavor, but I did love the sweet potato fries with the spicy curry dip. Yum! My boyfriend after getting "schooled" on his attire ordered the seafood omelet & didn't have much to say. I figure Babs would be a FANTASTIC "cheers" type spot where "everybody gets to know your name", but on mothers day it was no shinning gem, with little to no service, freezer burnt food & unnecessary rude comments...left us feeling less than confident about this place, BUT if I am in the area again I will give it another go...It has such great potential. Maybe it was an off day...It's ok. : ) Mom loved it & that's all that mattered, : )

Went for brunch and the food was good, not great but the service was dismal. When there are so few tables they shouldn't have that problem. My waiter disappeared and I had to flag down a different one to get any service.

There was nothing special about Babs when I went for brunch. It was dark inside and the blinds were down in all the windows (i think to keep the heat out) giving it a kind of medieval dungeon feel. The food was good, but nothing amazing like I would expect given how many stars it has on here. Also, although I had heard great things about the waiters, they didn't really seem to like my friend and I all that much and were just moderately nice to us.
(2)
Jason M.

Unique little spot that offers a great menu. Not a ton to chose from but what was there was perfect; quality over quantity. Really enjoyed their omelet which was prepared to perfection. Only negative was the food was a little pricey but worth the trip to eat somewhere different.

I can't seem to understand why I've never been here before! Cute restaurant that I've already suggested to two friends. I had the chicken & brie sandwich with sweet potato fries and it was magnificent!! The way the flavors from the fries and the sandwich mixed together in your mouth...simply can't be put into words! will definitely be back!!! (with friends!)

Matt L.

By far the best place for brunch in Atlanta. Came here with my family before headed over to the High Museum for the Dali exhibit and I think the brunch overshadowed the art, no joke. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly and had a lot of insights to offer an ATL newbie like myself. I ordered the waffle, bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese and it was all absolutely phenomenal... probably better than mother's home cooked breakfast but I wouldn't say that in front of her (she enjoyed her brunch just as much, and loved the compliments that were being showered on her from the staff). The restaurant is a quaint and cozy little place and the menu is quite short... but all that means is everything on it must be fantastic. I will be frequenting Babs often, whenever I'm in midtown and need a good breakfast to shake a Saturday or Sunday afternoon hangover.

One of the great perks about living in midtown is being able to live within walking distance to the best dives around. Babs is literally 5 min away! I ventured into this teeny restaurant expecting amazing food after all the yelp reviews i read. i was soo not disappointed. the staff here are friendly and attentive. i ordered the corned beef hash special and my friend got the cruncher ( hashbrown inside an omelette. seriously? could it get any better?) our food came out 15 min after we ordered which was very impressive considering it was a sunday morning. also, one of the staff came by every table offering jalepeno chow chow and peach jam. these are a must when you visit! the jam was peachy and thick while the chow chow was not too spicy and it went great with the corned beef. too bad i couldn't finish it all. if only people had an extra stomach to consume all the world's deliciously goodness.

I'd like to visit this place again, but I really enjoyed my first visit. It's a tiny place, and the two men working there do everything from taking orders to making the food to taking payments at the register. My chicken parmesan panini was delicious (could have used a tad more sauce) and the soup was good, too. Overall, it seems like a great place for lunch.

Love this spot! Randy rocks (I wouldn't want to be on his bad side) and the food was incredible. Sitting in the garden area outside we felt like we were not in Atlanta. Loved the brunch, atmosphere, and everything about Babs. I'll be back!

as promised, my yelp review :) the staff is super nice and fast! & the food is amazing with really hearty portions (no dieting at this place!). you must try their sweet tea and their jalapeÃ±o poppers! the place is really cute, great lil breakfast/brunch date spot~ and to top it all off~ THEY HAVE A PARKING LOT! this is like gold to a nyc girl!

I love how secret this place is. It's past Avra and right under Veruca. Walk by too quickly and you'll pass it. We walked in for brunch and I felt like we discovered an undergound breakfast club. There was a group at the other end of the restaurant exploding with laughter..was totally gigglefest '96. I got an omelet with spinach and goat cheese that was scrumptious. The tuscan potatoes were yummy too, not overcooked like some places. Boy got the Juniper Street Wrap. They were good size portions and very good quality, very fresh. Service is excellent! The owner was totally hobnobbing with us. I'll def come again for lunch. They also have a few tables outside.

Babs is an amazing Atlanta must have. With all of our "reservation only" breakfast and lunch spots, Babs is a welcome change with its comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff....Randy is amazing......you must ALWAYS educate yourself on the specials before you order, that is if they don't describe them in full detail to you before you have even looked at the menu. On a normal day, they create incredible dishes that you would definitely not expect.....Also, the sweet potato fries are an absolute "center of the table" must. I have lived and worked in Atlanta for a long time. I am in constant search mode for the best places in each category. Babs takes the winner's circle for creativity, quality, and experience.

So delicious. The crab cake wrap and chicken & Brie sandwich were amazing and the sweet potato fries with the curry dipping sauce were unreal. My wife and I will definitely be back soon.

We went here for breakfast while in Atlanta for a wedding. We thought it might be nice to get something local, instead of the ol' Starbucks standby, and I am so glad we did! We were greeted by their very friendly staff as soon as we approached the door. Now I'll admit -- my first inspection of the menu was a little underwhelming. It just seemed pretty basic and like nothing much to get excited over. Standard breakfast fare: eggs, toast, etc. We decided to go for it anyway, and upon being seated, our server gave us the run-down on their specials. That's where it started to get good! Nearly everyone in our party ordered one of the specials. Most notable were the corned beef hash (absolutely delicious definitely homemade, but not so homemade that it stops tasting like good old corned beef hash!), the cornmeal waffle (amazing!) with huevos rancheros on top, and the crowd favorite: the "crunchy" omelette, which was a really delicious omelette of ham, tomatoes, cheese, and I don't know what else but there were CRISPY HASH BROWNS also folded in! Awesome -- such a good idea, I can't believe we've never thought of it before! I'm not a coffee drinker, but throughout the meal, everyone kept commenting about how good the coffee was. Apparently they have it specially imported -- like I said, I wouldn't know it from Folgers, but those who know said that it was darn good coffee. Basically, we left very full and very happy, and feeling like the people who run Babs really care about doing a great job and serving great food. I highly recommend it -- we'll be back on our next trip to Atlanta!

MsBond N.

Absolutely amazing! I love the food and I love the people. Randy and I often sit and talk as I eat (when and if it is ever slow or quiet). What really won me over was the fact that when Randy, who had just learned of my dietary restrictions for Lent, made a special plate just for me. I love the personal feel when I go to Bab's and you miss that when you go to your classic chain. The food is fresh and tasty. And the sweet potato fries are to die for (yum). I will definitely be going back and I am definitely telling all of my friends to give Bab's a try!

Andrea T.

So glad I was able to find this place through yelp and pass the tip on to my sister that goes to Tech. I was visiting for the week and looking for a good brunch place when this popped up in the listings. Decided to give it a try and ended up walking into a place that felt like a long-time atlanta midtown institution. There's no such thing as nicer service. The food was also perfectly to order, and the menu had exactly the things that I wanted. For anyone else who understands the importance of toasted bagel with cream cheese, this place is for you. They also have a special themed brunch every sunday with items like challah french toast or wasabi hollandaise on poached eggs (samurai theme). The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is because there was something a little off about the black coffee, but I'm weird about that so don't listen to me. This place is awesome and has free wifi, check it out. ps - this is not just a breakfast place, it also has a lovely looking lunch menu, but I didn't try it and so can't comment.

Breakfast here was delicious. They have some creative gourmet menu items which have things you wouldn't think go together, but end up being delicious. I had the crab omelette, and it was chock full of fresh crab. The only thing a bit lacking is the service. It's a small shop and as a result service may not be the quickest, but it is definitely worth the wait!

Nate S.

I have to say I was pretty excited to find a place downtown that served breakfast in the afternoon. The setup of the place is cool and the staff was friendly. The menu was pretty limited - lots of interesting sounding choices. I had an omelet with ham cheese and I believe hash browns inside. It was pretty good and light, but a little small. It just wasn't a 4/5 star omelet. We wanted to be but just weren't blown away. It's worth trying out.

Broderick G.

On my last visit to Atlanta, I had the pleasure of eating at Babs. It was a short walk from my Midtown hotel and the food was amazing! But more than that, the feeling of warmth and hospitality by the staff was a welcome change. I consider it an honor to patronize places like this.

I think they must have ran out of flavor the day I went. But they do serve the kids drinks in sippy cups, which is something every restaurant should copy.

Came in with a group of friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was super friendly & fun (Randy & Katie). Our brunch was delicious- I started with a yummy Prosecco cocktail then had a sweet potato & chicken hash with some fried eggs on top (perfect meal for my hangover). We'll definitely be back & will recommend it to friends.

Peto F.

Food is amazing. The restaurant is inside the basement of an old brick house. Very unique. The wait is not bad at all. No reason to wait 1.5 hours at blue bird cafe when you can have better food and no wait at this hidden gem.

Lisa H.

This cute funky little neighborhood restaurant really brings home the bacon. It's right around the corner from where I work so I eat lunch there frequently with the hubs. It only took two visits and Randy considered us "regulars" He is hysterical ! I get a great lunch and entertained at the same time. The sweet potato fries are too die for and it's the curry type dipping sauce that just sends them over the top. Make sure to check out the specials, they've always been winners! Today we both had the jambalya, perfect blend of spice and heat with lots of yummy shrimp and sausage. Oh and grab a glass of freshly brewed red zinger iced tea to wash it all down. Try this place once and you'll be a regular too! Next on the agenda is to drive in to Midtown on Sunday and have breakfast with the family unit!

Patrick E.

I have horrible liquid stomach after eating here. My girlfriend also became horribly sick after eating here too. I tried to speak to the owner about the raw eggs and crab meat he served us and he blew us off by calling me a queen! If you want to spend all day on the toilet go her for a meal!

Bab's is fantastic! Just listen to Randy - he won't steer you wrong. Also dogs are more than welcome an everyone treats them like family. I went there for Mother's Day this year and Randy told us we were getting his version of French Toast as an app. It was amazing - similar to a pancake but with strawberries, blackberries, blackberry sauce and whipped cream. And that was just the beginning. My mom was tres impressed and loved it.

Great friendly helpful owner. delicious breakfast - the peach elixir was a treat. we also purchased some of the peach & honey jam after trying it on our toast because it was so good!

Faith W.

As an out-of-towner we tried to find an adorable, unique place to eat breakfast while visiting Atlanta. We found it here! The place is tiny in size but the menu is loaded with deliciousness. We sipped mimosas and stuffed our faces with crabmeat omletes for a solid hour till we surrendered to Atlanta goodness. Not five stars only because of the man waiting on us... who we wanted so badly to love because he was a hoot and a half (not to mention the locals seemed to love him) but he literally visited our table to gab about local gossip and other randomness every few minutes. So often, my husband and I barely finished a sentence shared just between the two of us. Bless his heart for trying though!
(4)
Liz M.

I got the goat cheese and portebello omelette which was delicious! It came with generous sides (perfectly seasoned red skin potato hash browns and two slices of toast) and it was exactly what my friends and I needed after all of the booze the night before. The waiter could tell we were all hungover and had some fun with us, but he was hilarious. I'd definitely go back!

Steve U.

this was a mere few blocks from a nerd conference i'm attending at the loews and when i asked the yelps for info regarding local lunch spots. babs popped up on the map and it was totally walkable. now i know everyone raves about the sweet potato fries. with good reason, they're sprinkled with crack. however, you should note well that they have a helluva lot of good stuff on the menu. that said, be sure to listen to the special list, it's damn good. this was a point of some minor sensitivity on the part of the manager. he seemed keen to point out that they do a lot of good cooking in there. he then proceeded to run through an impressive list of daily specials. i opted for the sriracha chicken salad wrap. holy crap that was good. there were a number of other items on the list that i was jonesing to try. my coworker's gazpacho was served double bowled with ice. hardcore. check it out.

This is quite a find! The food is scrumptious, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is both fabulous and laid back with several different seating options, an outdoor patio, an area with a sofa, and then tables for a typical restaurant flare. The sweet potato fries are simply the best you've ever put in your mouth!
(5)
lisa b.

Feels like you are entering a literal "hole in the wall," but as is true with many other places described this way, you will feel like you stumbled on a gem. The staff is super laid back and friendly (full of jokes actually), and the menu seems to always be offering something different and fresh. The blackened chicken sandwich is hands down THE BEST thing I have ever munched for lunch. Don't get me started on the sweet potato fries. Try to eat just one... Anyhow, I love this place. Free parking too.

John P.

There is nothing more I can ask for on a Sunday morning than a unique brunch, a bloody Mary, a friendly atmosphere, and a little bit of sass. I can find all of that at Bab's. Having patronized the joint 3 times in the last month, I have encountered 3 different menus and experienced 3 fantastic meals. Plus, Randy has the unique ability to humiliate you and make you feel incredibly comfortable in the same instant. He halts my normal rapier-like wit and leaves me laughing hysterically. I cannot speak highly enough about the food, service, and atmosphere at Bab's.

Jason E.

Went to Bab's yesterday for a quick lunch with some coworkers. We had Scoutmob, and had never heard of Bab's, but boy were we in for a treat... We sat outside on the small patio area... wish the weather was a bit nicer, but the meal made up for it for sure. My two dining companions both had the chilled tomatoe soup and raved about it until their bowls were wiped clean. I had the Roast Beef wrap with Sweet Potato Fries.... WOW! It was AMAZING. PERFECTLY wrapped up, nice and tight... never came loose. Everything about it was super fresh and ridiculously good. Katie and Michelle both loved their meals as well, one being the Chicken and Brie Panini, the other a Chicken Salad of some sort, don't remember which one. The service and ambiance is great at this place... the guys don't try too hard... quite the opposite. They are VERY comfortable with everyone that comes in, and are more than happy to tell you all about their neighborhood, their regular customers, and their snow globe collection. Service isn't what I would call normal, but it goes perfectly with the place... it's a neighborhood cafe, nothing more, nothing less... the guys were SUPER friendly, and never wanted for anything at all. I will be returning many many times and have already sent three people there... what a great little discovery for a lunch on a whim!

We went there for brunch last Sunday. It was great food - had the Olympian breakfast and the spicy special with polenta. Great service as well. I love the fact that many of the herbs and veggies are home grown. We also walked away with jams, chow-chows and glaze. All look very yummy!

This was the worst brunch experience ever! We were first told that our wait was 20 minutes, but got seated 1 hour later, then waited an additional 30 minutes just to order. We tried to call ahead of time and make reservations, but no one answered or called us back after we left a message. To top it off, when we got there, we were scolded for not making reservations!! The place really wasn't that busy, I just don't think they were well staffed, or well prepared. Thankfully, the mimosas were so good that we were too tipsy to be too upset or complain at the time. THEN, our waiter proceeds to complain about other customers to us and express his annoyance for people with food allergies and that they should call ahead before arriving to order their food so that they don't inconvenience the wait staff!! The omelet we ordered was very good, the potatoes were awful and dry, and the side of fruit was one pineapple chunk. As far as the atmosphere goes, it was definitely a cozy thrift store chic kinda place that is just plain out dated and needs to get with the times. It felt dirty honestly. I should have checked the health code rating. I wish I could at least say the food was good enough for me to come back, but it wasn't.

The consierge at the Georgian Terrace suggested Babs for a late morning breakfast and it was a nice walk through a pretty neighborhood to get there. The specials were tempting so I had the Quiche Lorraine and my husband had the Cruncher Omelete. We both wanted to try the risotto and chicken hash specials so we asked for a "side" portion of each and the waitress happily brought us a small bowl. We split each and both were outstanding. When my Quiche was presented, I commented to the waiter that I must have gotten the last piece and he said yes and I was lucky to get it. It also tasted like the last piece as the crust was pulled away from the custard. My husband said his omelete was very good. The only toast that day was rye bread which I cannot eat because of the seeds. When I asked for an exchange, I was offered a bagel along with awful attitude by the server as if it was a HUGE inconvenience! Is it really necessary to act that way? Everyone else working there was happy, keeping our drinks full and dirty plates away. We would go there again and hope the server with the attitude is at home enjoying a day off!

This was an interesting place. Being from California, i wished i could have had a mimosa on a sunny Sunday morning... but since we are in Georgia that was not possible. But besides that, i really enjoyed Babs. Friendly and socialble staff, pleanty of parking, and good food!

Proma R.

A hidden gem! Thanks to the random "best brunch" search we did on Yelp, this 6th spot winner is the best in my mind (and locality!) This smallish place is right on Juniper, but they don't have a sign board on the street( cost big bucks to have one, said the owner). But I am not surpised that there are 90 reviews for this hidden gem. After all, I probably had the best omlette of my life here. Crunchy hash browns inside the omelette? Oh yeah. It tastes sooo good even with a congested upper body and a hangover. Tomatoes and cheese compliment the crunchiness and deliver the most perfect omlette. The panini I tried was equally fantastic. Great little spot to go back again and again with a friend or two.

Joi M.

I ate here for breakfast early one sunny Sunday morning before going to an outdoor festival. It was a great meal that did not leave me hungry, perfect for a day of walking around outside in the summer sun. I ordered the French toast, one slice of bread, sliced into two triangles, 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, two big, crunchy, but not burnt, pieces of bacon and fruit. The fruit is what keeps me from giving Baba 5 stars. The fruit consisted of: one half of a strawberry, a half of an orange slice, a piece of melon. I would have liked 2 whole strawberries, a whole orange slice, and no melons. The French toast was my favorite, flavorful and cooked without being too soggy or burnt. The weather was great and so was the meal.

Kathleen K.

Friendly & accommodating staff. Food was phenomenal. Wish we'd known about this little gem (off the main "Peachtree" drag by just a block) from day one of our trip to Atlanta - we would have eaten there every day. Our waiter - Stephen King (no joke! - was super nice and super helpful. Also really like that they grown their own herbs,... - can't wait to see how the grapes on the new grapevines turn out!

Your Yelp search should begin & end at Bab's. We were in from Chicago to check out Atlanta for a job relocation. We prefer to dine at locally owned restaurants that offer something a little different on their menus or ambiance. Bab's delivered on both accounts with a little help from Randy. Many other reviewers have commented on his "presence," and he delivered indeed. We were there on Saturday morning and while there were several tables occupied, it was no-wait around 10am. Had the Crispy Omelet and Sunday brunch at Bab's is definitely on our culinary bucket-list. See you SOON, Randy!

Diane B.

Loved it! We went for Sunday brunch and I got the the GBLT in honor of Pride Weekend. It came with the famous sweet potato fries. Amazing curry dipping sauce. Nice coffee too (great after a long night). Patio was wonderful. Randy was great. One of the girls I was with demanded having a picture with him. He knows he is fabulous. My husband got the stromboli special. Delish. Can't wait to go back!

Zadi M.

very hard to find. very cozy. very cute. very nice wait staff. not impressed with food. my lunch companion and i both were very underwhelmed by the food. i will return because the place is just that cozy and cute and the staff (owners?) are just that nice. now that i know how to find it, that takes some of the frustration level off too. i will try brunch next time. maybe lunch isn't as much their thing. not giving up on it. will be back. and will repost.

I have been trying to get to this place for over a year and for some reason it never ends up working out. Now that I have, I'll be visiting again and again and again. We went for Sunday brunch and I got the the Stromboli Special. Layers of French puff pastry, cream cheese, ham and fresh tomatoes. Holy Moly. Due to the dishes richness our server, Dale, recommended that we split it. Yes, the dish is rich, but you will NOT want to split it. Too delicious to share. Fantastic coffee and our water glasses were never below half empty. Randy is hilarious and gives Babs that "Cheers" feeling that makes you want to support any and everything he does. HIGHLY recommended.

Incredible experience for such a hard-to-find place. It's really the people in the place that make the place awesome, but the food was flawless and incredibly delicious, as well as being a great bang for the buck! I can't recommend this place enough =)

Meh, I paid $15 for a glorified grand slam. It's a cute place and on a Friday morning we were the only people there. Service was surprisingly slow! I just wasn't impressed. I'll stick with west egg or f'in biscuit.

Michael H.

From the outside, this place looks...eh, just OK, but when I walked in I thought...hmmm, this place has something going for it. The food is pretty good, the mood is very casual and lighthearted, and everyone seemed to be very friendly. Its exactly what you want for a low-key, quick Saturday breakfast. The server told me what sides I was going to have...he said "there are choices, but I'm making them for you today." The neighboring table learned over and told me to trust him, that's just how it works at Babs. The crab cake wrap I had was great! The sweet potato fries were a little too sweet and too salty for my taste. The "I would've never expected this here" atmosphere and friendly service make it worthwhile. I'm definitely adding it to the rotation.

Stephen J.

My wife and I stopped in this place on our way to the airport. One of the guys behind the counter gave me an attitude for telling him we were in a rush, I then realized that I was completely in the wrong. The food here is really good and you shouldn't be in a hurry to eat it. I had the cuban sandwich was was great. The bread was soft, the ham was flavorful. My wife had an omelette with the freshest eggs I've tasted in years!

Breakfast and a show! We come here primarily for brunch on the weekends and love the egg stromboli! You need to get there before 11:30 on Sunday to beat the church crowd. The service is great and very entertaining. I think the owners are also the servers so they have a vested interest in your experience. We did learn this is the only privately owned restaurant in the area, where all of the others have backers or are part of a chain. I think this makes a big difference in the quality of the food and the atmosphere. The menu is pretty small with unique combinations, however the food is fantastic! The portions are huge. The price is a little bit higher than what I would like to pay for breakfast ($30 for 2), but worth it.

To start, there is more parking than will ever be used and it's safe too. You enter next to the patio area with tables for nice weather amongst vegetable and herb gardens when in season. Even the window boxes have herbs-and everything is used in the kitchen. Almost entirely organic, the food is quite good! There are some fun twists on standards and the menu changes very often. The staff are sweet and nice-and won't allow you to order the wrong item-you'll get the breakfast that you want and it will be excellent! My mom says the oatmeal is the best she's had in years. If you're lucky, Randy, (owner), will be there and you'll get a heads up on what's coming up on the menu for special occasions! There's a catering menu on the table-if you work anywhere downtown, check it out! It's nothing like the usual and thank goodness for that.

The Scoutmob-Tour-of-Atlanta continued this morning/afternoon with a trip for brunch at Babs. Upon entrance to Babs, we were overwhelmed with a staff willing to help us with whatever we wanted. One thing can certainly be said of Babs: the quality of service is excellent. We were well taken care of during the entire meal, and the staff was extremely friendly. The second thing to note about Babs is this: for what you pay, you will get a veritable feast. All of the dishes were enormous given the price, and while the menu was small the variety between dishes was great. There were a lot of options, from the standard waffles, eggs, and sausage (my choice) to a "stromboli" of sorts. The fruits served with each dish were fresh and delicious, and not your standard grocery store pineapple-melon-cantaloupe-grape mix. We're talking fresh strawberries, orange slices, and huge apple wedges (this should be a model for other aspiring brunch places). The only reason Babs gets 4 stars rather than 5 is because I was slightly disappointed in the quality of some of the other food. Their potatoes were perfect, and their eggs scrambled exactly how I like them, but the waffles left a lot to be desired. The texture of the waffles was too dry, and it was difficult to get through a whole waffle without drowning it in syrup. The pork sausage that - by request - accompanied the waffle was cooked just a bit too long, and was a little chewy for my tastes. Normally, these issues would be enough for me to knock this down to a 3-star, but the exceptional service, good atmosphere, and general attitude of the staff definitely earns them enough of a bonus to get to 4 stars. If you're looking for a nice, relaxing Sunday brunch, this is your place.

What a great little place! I have walked past dozens of times and never gave Babs a second glance until I read the reviews on Yelp. Thanks Yelpers - I'm definitely a fan. The goat cheese, spinach & mushroom omelette is amazing - STUFFED full of goat cheese. Roasted potatoes were heavenly. Randy is hilarious! I will have to bring a snow globe to add to his collection.

Amazing hidden gem - I love babs for any meal. There are always tons of fresh and wonderful specials with food fresh from the garden. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly, I take work there and do it on their free wifi. Randy and his whole staff are great to talk to and have really established a Midtown mainstay. Go to Babs!!!

Wish I could give a more detailed review but I could not even get seated to try it on a recent Sunday. The staff was overwhelmed! People were sitting and waiting on their checks, tables were sitting uncleared, their were probably fifteen people waiting for a table. I was told the owner was out of town but seriously, have enough properly trained staff and some sort of organization. I will maybe give it a chance one more time.

Okay this place is pretty much the definition of casual - it's a bit shabby and tiny, but the food here is good...prepared with just a little extra flavor and attention to detail. The staff is very friendly. I love the peach walnut chicken wrap - I would never guess that peaches and walnuts taste good in a chicken wrap but it does.

We went there this morning with some friends. Overall, it was very disappointing given the high reviews! We ordered OJ because the waiter said it was fresh-squeezed. It definitely was not, tasted more like minute made OJ. I had a vegetable montage wrap and it was pretty boring. The ingredients seemed pretty low quality. The one high point were the sweet potato fries with curry dipping sauce. The others weren't too thrilled with their meals either. Also the music was pretty random inside.

I'd heard/read such great things about this place and am always up for a new place. Babs has tons of potential...quirky decor with exposed brick and fireplace in the basement of an old house. We went for breakfast. The food was ok and the portions were oversized. Service...horrible! No eye contact, our server kept walking off as we tried to talk to him, didn't offer water, didn't come back to check on us, and just seemed rather distracted although there was only one other couple in the place. The first cup of decaf had a ton of coffee grounds in it, the second still had some but we felt like we were an inconvenience so we didn't press. And to top it off, the place could use a good cleaning. The blinds haven't been cleaned in a few years and there were crumbs on the tabletops...under the glass. Get it together people! Just a little extra effort and you'd have a gem on your hands. It's a shame, we live a block away but won't be back.

We went to Babs for lunch on a Tuesday and was delighted. I had a crab cake roll up and my friend had the chicken w Brie sandwich Both were very good. The sweet potato fries are wonderful. we'll go back again- the environment is funky, eclectic and homey w a wifi corner w a sofa and arm chairs.

Ari K.

I went back to Bab's, thinking I'd give it another chance because I did like the food. I had the same server (the place is small, so I think I have about a 50% chance of having him as my server), and, unfortunately, the same bad experience with him. It's just not worth being harassed (and although I'm sure he thinks it's cute and funny, it's really not -- and I'm pretty lighthearted), so I'm done with Babs. If you have a very high tolerance for that sort of thing, then by all means go, because it's pretty tasty. As for me, though, I'm done with the place.

If you live in or around midtown you MUST try this place. The food is always incredible (sweet potato waffles say no more) and the service is the best. Randy and everyone who works here couldn't be more friendly. If you're not sure what to order try any of the daily specials and you won't go wrong.

Laura W.

I've been here twice already and I am a lifetime fan already. It has a very cozy atmosphere both inside and out. Their brunch is some of the best I've ever had, and it expands beyond the normal omelette & potato choices too. They change their brunch menu on a pretty regular basis and so far I've had a breakfast stromboli and an asian-inspired eggs benedict dish. Both were amazingly delicious and not what I might normally order. The breakfast potatoes that come with each dish are ridiculously good. On top of all that, the staff (and the owner!) are friendly and very funny. Be prepared to be told what you are having, but trust them. They know.

This is a cute little cafe in th eheart of Midtown's new condo district. Regulars here get to know the owners and staff and feel like part of the family. Sandwiches and salads round out the menu that is complimented by cakes and coffees.

I found Babs by accident while walking with a friend through the neighborhood. Wow what a freaking find! We went at the tail end of Sunday brunch, which closes at 2:30, not the advertised 3:30 by the way. I had a massive roast beef sandwich, piled high with roast beef and turkey, covered in cole slaw, and a thick slice of tomato on toasted bread. It was served with sweet potato fries and a curry sauce for dipping. The fries were just crispy enough, with large flakes of sea salt. The sauce was a delicious yellow curry sauce, that if I had a gallon of would probably not be enough. My friend got a breakfast stromboli, which was phylo pastry dough, filled with ricotta, turkey, spinach, eggs, and cheddar cheese. Unfortunately, since we came in near close, they only had one left, the one my friend got, or else I would have gotten one in addition to my sandwich just to be near it . It was that good. This is a local place I will take out of town friends, in town friends, family, complete strangers, and so on. The staff is friendly and accomodating, and will treat you like family. Try it out, you won't be sorry!

Really.....this should not be noted on Yelp as a "go to" brunch place in Atlanta, which was why decided to give it a try. Without question one of the bleakest meals I've had in some time. Ok, I get the charm of the patio and the basement of an old house and the irreverent host and all, but that can't save the food here...OMG. Some thing they called split pea and hamhock soup was about as natural as the bouillon and water based flavorless stock this consisted of, with not the slightest sign of a pig part anywhere near this promodial broth..There was nothing about this soup being made from scratch..trust me..ick! The mimosa glasses came to us looking like they had been reused without going through the dishwasher, evidenced that they were all poured at once some hour or more earlier by the way they stuck to the table and the room temp of the drink. And the sandwich was marginal and the fries cool. Maybe its a place that does the sweet stuff better then the savory, but I would choose wisely and that means choosing the many other stronger options for Brunch in Atlanta...go to Bluebird, La Tavola, Murphy's, Highland Bakery,..anything, but trust me on this...Wow!

As I write this review, my husband FORCES me to give it 5 stars. Just as well as he FORCES me to have breakfast here whenever we are in-town. I say this jokingly, of course. Its quite delicious. Almost went unnoticed. Tucked away behind the 805 Peachtree condo building, a little "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant. I initially BEGGED my husband to take me. He did, reluctantly. The service and owners were soooo friendly, but not to the point of intrusive, love it! And when the food came, I thought to myself "why didn't we share?!?!" I don't like egg white omletes and i don't like omletes, so I have NO IDEA why I even ordered an egg white omlete. Maybe I was trying to sabotage myself so that I hated the food because I was convinced I would never get my husband to go back?? Oh no! It back fired! I'm in love with egg white omletes now! Or is it egg white omletes AT BABS? Or is it just BABS? Oh hell, you get the point! Its awesome! And it is going to bankrupt me because I can't keep my husband away.... "oh, i'm just going to get a cup of coffee" which turns into a big, fat yummy breakfast that I can't resist eating it! And if he didn't bring enough for me? I have that divorce attorney on speed dial, baby! Who gets the rights to Babs? FInders, keepers!

We have lived in Midtown for 2 years and went to Babs for the first time today. What an awesome place! Food was delicious and the service was great. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and the way he sold the specials to us was like no other. I very rarely order the "special of the day" but the way he described their specials made me want to order them all. Very quaint place. Hate that it took us 2 years to find this treasure!

Anastasia T.

Overall we liked our breakfast (only bumped we were unable to try their mimosa's as they cannot serve alcohol before 12:30 pm on Sundays...Geez, thank you Atlanta!)...The "main" courses (jack frost omelet with egg whites, mushrooms and crabs and the crunchy omelet stuffed with hashbrowns) were tasty...mostly interesting rather than tasty but we were happy with them. The sides were meh, in fact the potatoes were under-cooked which I hate (how can you get that wrong people? it's really easy to bake/fry/boil potatoes) the fruit were OK and the toast was pretty good, but hey, I am not going to get excited because they toasted the bread to perfection, especially not when their little cute menu is a bit pricey... The place is nice and cozy and after having read the reviews here I was expecting the service to be more memorable but it wasn't. It was, however, efficient and for me, that is the most important thing when it comes to servers. I do recommend Bab's and we will go there again in hopes that next time we'll eat something that will make me add a star (or two) to this rating.

The breakfast risotto with eggs and coffee was pretty good, but the server was wearing shirtsleeves and had some sort of horrible skin disease that made it look like he had cigarette burns all over his arms. He also had a hacking, phlegmy cough. I only noticed this after I ordered but honestly I was so nauseated that the food became secondary to the stomach-turning experience. Ugh.

After a very hardy new years party, Zach Brown concert and Auburn vs Virginia we decided on brunch with babs. Nestled in the bottom of a house in mid town very cozy and welcoming. Bring your snow globe from foreign lands to add to the owners collection. Breakfast was outstanding and the waitstaff was very helpful. We will definitely be back!
(5)
Kristie C.

I had my reserves about the place because it was so tucked away and small.... BUT - Randy (owner) is seriously hilarious, witty, and personable. I think he probably made me laugh more than I have this entire week. To me, breakfast can only get so good. Babs served up some great eggs + toast (baked just down the street) + peachy fruit sangria, BUT ALSO -- a dish of laughs. Definitely would come back for another fun morning.

Just like what the other reviewers say... the specials are where it's at!! SUPER GOOD food and service. And you know the drinks are good when you find yourself stabbing at the fruit with the stirring straw to fish them out to eat. :)

I love Bab's Midtown, I make sure I get there for food at least once, preferably more, anytime I'm in Atlanta, I wish I had another excuse to go to Atlanta soon. I love that specials everyday, I love that the owner & the staff are excited to show you what they love that day. The food is always delicious, I try different foods there that I might not elsewhere because I know they've put their heart into it as well as fresh local foods & spices. But my favorite thing about Bab's is the coffee. I live in Portland, Oregon, the home of micro roasters, small batch, french pressed, coffee mecca. I love Portland Roasting here at home but Bab's coffee is even better. They import their beans from a specific small farm in south america, & another family member roasts it themselves locally. It's rich & full & savory with just a bit of cream. It is the best coffee ever. Bab's Midtown is original, delicious, friendly & I will be back as soon as I can.

Had the crabmeat omelet and smoked salmon- delicious! Loved that Bab's had local beer, and the blood orange mimosas were great. Dale was our bubbly server; he was a delight, welcome us out-of-towners to the ATL.

Every city - every region - every country has its food vocabulary. In Atlanta, that's what? Local. Seasonal. Fresh from our chef's garden. Bravo. And Yawwwwwwnnnn. And there's also a service vocabulary, which for 99% of Atlanta's restaurants - thanks to the early trendsetting of the chalkboard-special-du-jour of the Peasant chain - is "friendly." Sometimes overly? Maybe? Stop the presses. Here's a true neighborhood joint that breaks the service paradigm. Call it fun. Call it quirky. Call it "I love it when you entertain me!" Call it ANYTHING but standard. Love it or fear it, Babs is unique. No Midtowner can claim his homestead without this experience. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have known the owner for 20+ years. FULLER DISCLOSURE: I still think he's crazy-wacky-totally-cannot-miss-this unique.

I love how everyone who is raving about this place has a fake Yelp account probably created by the owners friends and family. First of all, the food is nothing special. Its not that hard to make a breakfast and even babs cant get it done normally. Its very carless food quality believe me when I tell you. The service is probably the worst i have ever seen. My fiance and I travel alot and absolutely love to eat out. We never had an experience like this. The waiter that served me was completely disrespectful. If I wasnt on vacation, I would of probably made a scene with that way he was talking to me and my partner. When I called the restaurant back to complain about the server, I was told the servers name was RANDY and he is the owner. REALLY? So not only is the food poor but the owner is running around serving people and disrespecting everybody. yes I mean everybody. This " Randy" character was violating people sitting all around us. Feel free to go ahead and experience the fake 4 star review but i guarantee you that you will not be pleased. Dont say you weren't warned.

Got the turkey cheddar omelet and the ham and swiss omelet. Both were pretty good, but I didn't care for the big hunks of turkey, would liked to have them more bite sized. The breakfast potatoes were really good and I enjoyed stealing some off my husbands plate when I finished murdering my own. Will definitely go back and see what else they have to offer

I loved my visit to Babs! I went on a cool Saturday recently with a couple of people, and we were seated inside almost immediately upon walking in. PROS: Quaint, unique environment. Very friendly and fun staff, especially the owner, who is wonderful! Delicious food! And one of the BEST bloody mary's I've ever had - the owner said they use a special draft Sake instead of vodka. De-lish. CONS: It's very small - like, very small. I had a hard time hearing what I was saying, let alone the things my friends were saying. As someone who is claustrophobic, this made me a bit nervous.

A must visit when you are in downtown area. Omelets were fabulous. I had the crab with avocado and it was delicious. Just the right amount accompanied with potatoes fruit and thinly sliced crispy sour dough toast. A gem for the locals and treat for visitor like myself. Sat outside on a cool morning and love it all.

Angelina K.

My husband and I were looking for a local breakfast place in Midtown after we left church. I found Bab's on Yelp and we decided to give it a shot. We got seated right away, which was nice. They seemed to have a team approach to their table service so our drink order was taken twice. Our coffee was brought to the table in half-full cups and only refilled once with only what our waitress had in her tin pitcher, which left one of us with another half-full cup. During the breakfast, it was made clear that they were beginning to get busy by the hustle and bustle of the servers (especially one alpha-server who was shouting orders at everyone else). We felt rushed through our breakfast because alpha-server repeated several times how they were going to use our table to join with another table for a larger party that was waiting. When we gave our credit card to pay, we were charged for somebody else's breakfast, which was double our bill. He had to void it and recharge the card. The food was decent, the atmosphere was small, cluttered and seemed a bit unkept, but overall, the service ruined our breakfast. We won't go back.

Best breakfast/brunch place ive been to in the Atlanta area. Not a traditional waffle and pancake place but they know their breakfast foods inside out. Highly recommend the turkey sandwich and salmon with capers. They always seem to have interesting omelette specials too. Has a nice laid back, cafe kind of feel which adds to the experience

Jeremy M.

I'd hate to be the lone dissenter here, but we had a pretty "meh" experience here. We came here on a Sunday before a trip to the aquarium. First, yes the waitstaff are fabulous, and quick-witted and kept the (small) dining room entertained. However, the food we ordered (brunch special and an omelet) were mediocre at best. The hash browns were raw halfway through, the eggs were rubbery and overcooked (and the chef added cheese without me asking, which was totally cool with me, but you know...some people have allergies), and I ordered a side of bacon which never actually arrived (and to be fair, we weren't billed for it in the end without having to complain). But the most egregious "wha???" moment came when I noticed that my sweet tea was coming out of a container of supermarket brand pre-mixed stuff. Really? There is NO WAY that buying pre-made sweet tea is a better investment for the restaurant than making their own. Cost-wise alone, it was a strange decision, but cleared up exactly why my tea was ridiculously sweet. [Edited: Deedra from Babs contacted me to say that their sweet tea is in fact fresh made, but just stored in gallon jugs to aid in their service. It was still way sweet for my tastes, but I appreciate the clarification] As the waiters were entertaining a large party across from us, they were provided with bloody mary mimosas... from a bottle. As in, bought at a liquor store bottle. Lame sauce. I wanted to like this place, especially because the servers and manager did really seem to be doing their best to keep things lively, but the food itself was very meh.

Jennifer N.

The breakfast menu is very small- and if you don't like eggs, you might not like this place- but everything they have is really good and fresh-tasting (the omelets are oversized and come with two wedges of fruit- pineapple and watermelon- toast, and potatoes) even if the ambiance is what I term basement-chic. I had read the Yelp reviews about prickly servers, and our waiter was actually very friendly- the man who refilled our coffee though was performatively bitchy - clearly it was just some act that's part of Babs routine - but my great-aunt wasn't catching on to his jokes and just felt offended!

Bianca D.

First morning in Atlanta and our stomachs were rumbling for something good to start off our long day. Saw pretty good reviews on Yelp and off we were. Beautiful day outside so we sat outside and the waiter quickly came over to help us and explain the menu and specials. Brought us our orange juice and champagne along with some pumpkin butter that we could try. Tasted so good that I had to force myself not to spoon it before I could use some for my toast. We both got the Crunch omelet (hashbrowns, ham, tomato, and cheese). Very good. Also loved the potatoes and panini toast. Not only the food but the service gives this place 5 stars. Attentive, friendly, hilarious, and just what we needed to get my vacation off right.

I tried to give my disappointment with Bab's a day to subside but, to no avail, I am still saddened by this establishment. The 2 star ranking they receive is based on the service. The servers were friendly and prompt and made my experience semi-enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food and environment were sub par. The girl I am dating suggested that we go to Bab's for brunch on Sunday morning and the first thing I did was check them out online. Took a brief look at their menu and thought, "Hey, they have a simple egg breakfast for a pretty reasonable price. Let's Go!" Upon being seating, I took a look at the menu and found the same 2 egg, meat, potato and fruit plate that was listed as $7.25 on their website, was $9.25 on the menu (Update your website if you've raised the price $2.00). No big deal, I don't mind paying $10.00 for breakfast when I get a great meal. Well, the presentation was awful. Instead of a nice sunny set of eggs, I got one that looked like they broke the yolk and quickly took it off the heat to make sure it stayed over medium. The other egg looked o.k. There were a minimal amount of potatoes (maybe 6-7 small quarters) on my plate and the sauce that was supposed to be on them was actually all over the plate. Presentation fail, it looked worse than a Waffle House plate. Considering our breakfast came out in about 5 minutes, I realized that this was not cooked to order except for the eggs. The bacon was cold and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp and the potatoes appeared to be burned but were cold to room temperature. The fruit looked sad and undesirable and that piece of pineapple I bit into was anything but ripe. Leaving the rinds on the fruit only gives the appearance that it is fresh, it does not mean that it is. Having worked in the back of a house of a restaurant, I would not have sold that plate especially if I knew the price tag. The plate left me feeling unfulfilled, the coffee was pretty good though. Other notable disappointments: There was a dehumidifier in the middle of the service floor and it appears that the blinds haven't been cleaned since the last spring cleaning, if they had one. They were covered in food splatter and dust. I understand the dehumidifier since this is a basement setting but, come on, at least attempt to hide it.

Babs has a cozy atmosphere built inside of an old house with inside and outside dining. The waitstaff was very pleasant but seemed a bit distracted. I ordered the Safron Pumpkin Infused Risotti with two eggs served over the risotto, delicious! I was also a fan of the Bloody Mary twist. Because Babs does not serve hard liquor, they substituted cold Sake Draft for the vodka in the Bloody Mary and it was actually quite good. Overall, the food was great, the staff was friendly and I will definitely be back!

Sharon L.

YUM! This place has great food and fun service. We were met by a vivacious server who had strong opinions about what we should order. He talked us into trying the Saki Bloody Mary and boy am I glad we did. I'm not even a Saki fan and this Bloody Mary was goooooooood! We went for breakfast and our food was great. There were several other things that looked scrumptious that we will definitely go back to try.

Babs is a little off the street right near Mulan and Takorea. Generally, when I think weekend brunch in Atlanta -- I expect a line and a 45 minute wait. However at Babs, I was able to walk in and choose my own table even at 10:30am on a Saturday. Usually I might take that as a bad sign, but as soon as I heard the specials, I was intrigued. The regular breakfast menu is limited. My guess is this place puts a lot more work into the daily specials. Both of us ordered off the specials menu (after some help from the waiter). I had pumpkin risotto and my boyfriend had the "Cowboy Breakfast" with pulled pork and eggs. Both were delicious. Overall: Good food, happy and spunky service, DOG FRIENDLY and no wait. That's an Atlanta brunch win for me.

My wife, daughter, and I got stranded in Atlanta when our connecting flight was cancelled due to the blizzard after Christmas. We slept in an airport hotel and ventured out into a city we had never been to before the next morning in search of food. We drove to the central part of the city and I happened to find Babs on the mobile Yelp app. We pulled into the parking lot around 10:30 and were the only ones there. Immediately we were greeted and made to feel welcome. The two guys there--sorry I didn't catch their names--were incredibly friendly and found some toys to entertain our daughter. We were starving, and the food didn't disappoint. I got the crunch omelet, which was right up my alley. Hash browns like McDonald's--in an omelet? YES. The portions were big and the check was not...in short, a great meal. And on top of the circumstance that we found ourselves in, Babs' was a great place to find and put us in a good mood!

From what I understand the menu changes weekly and is thematic. This off the beaten path restaurant is quite good. The staff is attendant and opinionated from everything from two ply toilet paper to feedback on one's haircut and believe me they hold nothing back. The food is comforting and will keep you coming back.

Alex K.

What a great little breakfast joint, with a cool owner who grows his own vegetables. We got a crab omelet and a grit cake, which was on special, and were very satisfied with everything. The grit cake was especially good, and super unique. I rarely come across grits, let alone a grit cake. The kicker that really brought extra life to our meal was the jalapeno honey. I'm not a big fan of honey in general, but this was superb! I put it on my bread and a few other things because it was so good. One of the waiters said he put it on vanilla ice cream and it was delicious. Hilarious! The portions were not huge, but then again I am a big eater and very greedy, especially when it's that good. I left totally satisfied and would definitely go back next time I'm in Atlanta!

Belinda B.

you have to pay for parking here. I'm going to admit I didn't pay too much attention to the food because I was so into my conversation with my friend. But I did have leftovers that I took home, microwaved, and it was gooooood. I think I had the special jerk chicken wrap, it was tasty and spicy (I love spicy food). Coffee here is pretty good, but be warned it costs extra if it's more than a cup (for that unlimited coffee refill). Servers here are easy to talk to, very casual, it's nice--makes me feel like a regular. (First place I've eaten in Atlanta.)

Felix C.

This is a a decent breakfast place but I don't understand the fuss. 4.5 stars? It is a small, intimate place with a friendly staff. The food was okay. A small menu that is executed pretty well. I can see it being a good spot for locals but it isn't a destination place in my mind.

This place is AMAZING!!! The food was fresh, creative, and delicious. My husband and I went for brunch... Great size portions and I forgot to mention the awesome coffee to compliment the food. Hands down, one of the best brunch places I've ever been to (i'm very very picky).

Had a very nice breakfast there and enjoyed the atmosphere. Totally different than the big brunch menu places that are popular on Sundays. Food excellent and great attentive service. A bit on the tattered side but very eclectic and unique. We will come back for more.

Do yourself a favor and go to Babs. You will not be disappointed. Their food is amazing, the atmosphere is chill, and the wait staff will keep you laughing during your entire meal. We hadn't been sitting down for 2 minutes when the waiter took away our menus, told us what we going to order, then proceeded to walk away. Let me tell you - He did not lead us astray. I had the black eye pea cakes and my friend had the risotto. AH-MAZING. The blood orange mimosas were also applause-worthy. Our waiter was a ton of fun and talked to us as if we were his close friends. It took a minute to get used to his in-your-face personality, but it really grew on me and added to the fun atmosphere. I will definitely be going back here. If you're looking for a good local restaurant in Atlanta, hit up Babs.

Absolutely love Babs. There are no frills to the restaurant (which, I find, is part of the appeal), but the food and the people make this place incredible. I've been several times, and each time I've loved everything about it. You can get brunch everywhere in Midtown, but you would miss out on so much if you don't come here. The staff is kind, but funny....and the food and drinks are always incredible. Don't pass this place up or you are really missing out.

Our new favorite place! Having from moved from the land of John Waters, we've been looking for great food in a fun, funky place. Finally-- we found it at Babs. We went for Mother's Day today and had great service and great food. Sweet potato waffles? OMG-- can you say "amazing!" When the waiter mentioned them, the wife and I thought to ourselves "sweet potato waffles? Hmm, maybe not." P.S. we were wrong! WOW. They served an "elixir" that was kick-ass too. The wife had a "cruncher" omelette and the has browns inside were homeruns. I had a mother of a seafood omelette chock full of so much crab meat that John Waters would feel like he was in Bal'mer. Did I say the service was fantastic? We'll be back. OFTEN.

Babs is a good place for breakfast/brunch, judging from my recent experience there. The brunch menu is pretty basic with about five or six menu items and some additional specials, which was nice because it wasn't a mental exercise to order a meal. Overall, the food was well done. Most of the menu options are omelette based, however I had the waffles on my visit, which included cheese eggs, bacon, and potatoes. There was a lot of food, and the service was decent, however the personalities of the staff were quirky to the point of being hit or miss. We sat outside, which was pretty minimalist but nice, and other diners had their dogs with them which was pretty cool to see. The place is pretty small and probably not good for a huge group, but groups of 4-8 people should be able to eat comfortably. I think there are better (and cheaper) breakfast options in the area (i.e. Highland Bakery, The Flying Biscuit), however the experience was very good overall. I would definitely go back and recommend Babs to others.

Love! Tasty food, good service, nice lowkey neighborhood atmosphere, no wait at all on a Sunday at brunch time, and free parking. What more can you ask for? I got a faint vibe of barely-there kookiness from the place, too -- in a good kind of way. Definitely a new fave breakfast spot for me. The breakfast menu is small and manageable -- it covers the breakfast basics, with a couple slightly more interesting options. According to the website, Babs does themed Sunday brunch specials. On the Sunday we went, I didn't notice a particular theme, unless "generally being delicious" counts as a theme. We got an omelette with ham, cheese, and hash browns inside of it (!!)... sogood. We also got a dish called Cowboy-something... pulled pork in BBQ sauce with two eggs over it, all served over jalapeno cornbread (with an extra slice on the side). Go! No, don't. Let me keep it all to myself.

Got cheese omelette was so fresh and delicious! Husband had the broccolini egg wrap and sweet potato fries which I picked at the entire time! The place is eclectic and service is was different then most in a very good way. The cook sat with us and you could feel his love of food! A must go!

Stopped here right before a flight. I told the cook I was in a hurry and 5 minutes later he had a crunchy omelette with fruit toast and jam to perfection. Also upped my coffee the whole time.

COFFEE-buzzingly powerful, freshly ground Italian beans at a breakfast place. Not sure why nearly all morning spots have weak ass-bad coffee, but when I find a place that doesn't, I am always surprised. I was wired for 17 hours after drinking three refills, I mean rocketfuel. Yikes~ There is something distinctly European and cave-like about the atmosphere-it was quiet and perfect for the long meeting we had that day. Food was good but not outrageous. Somehow missed the mocking~that would've been fun... Cheers~

Everyone had a different omelet, Nathan had the crispy omelet special and I had the one with spinach. They were good and my sake Bloody Mary was definitely interesting. The potatoes weren't anything special. The fruit was fresh. Everyone was really nice as far as the service and our bill for 4 with drinks was reasonable around $70.

Babs has the most unique breakfast menu I've ever seen. I went with the risotto of the day topped with eggs. It was delicious! Very filling and tasty. I never would have thought risotto for breakfast, but it worked! The staff was very friendly and a bit snippy (but all in fun). I dined alone since I'm traveling for business, and I felt very comfortable and the food made it all worth it. I highly recommend checking them out!

After waiting 40 minutes for our order to arrive, the waiter told us the kitchen lost our ticket, when we asked the owner, his response was "it happens" ! He gave us a free round of of overpriced mimosas, and when the food did arrive, it was mediocre At best. It will be the last time Bab's loses my order ! Never again.

This is now my fav Breakfast Spot Ever.... The Atmosphere is cool and funky and looks something Divine would Throw Up in a good way... The Food is Organic and a lot of the Ingredients Grown in their garden... I started with the Fresh Squeezed Pomegranate Lemonade with fresh Mint it was so Good and then for my meal I got The Different Omelette.. Sliced Chicken, Roma Tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese & Avocado Slices with Roasted Pepper Hollandaise.. It was the best Omelette I have ever had... My friend got the Crunchy Omelette and he agreed with me the only thing is that I wish we would have ate here every day since I was only in town for a cpl of days and I had to go to my other lil local spots but next time I will make more room for BABS and at least go a cpl of times on my trip... Oh and also the service was great... Its a total 5 star joint...

Good breakfast. You really could miss this place if you were not overly looking for it. Staff were polite and friendly. Coffee was on target. Although, the corned beef hash was really good, it gave me gas for the rest of the day. I did think it was a great dish because of the fresh beets that it was made with. Eggs were farm fresh. Bread was baked local. People sitting on couches were really nice, which gave it a community feel. This is definitely a locals place to get a good bight to eat.

I stopped in here for Sunday brunch with my girlfriend and a friend. To our delight, there was no wait, which is a rarity for brunch options in Midtown. Upon being seated, we were handed a menu. I think they do theme menus for brunch and the theme for this Sunday was centered around champagne. There were perhaps 7 dishes to choose from, all featuring champagne in the dish. The menu options were limited, but I thought it sounded interesting enough, so I tried the steak & eggs benedict with champagne hollandaise. I was excited to try it, but the hollandaise, if it could be called that, was just bad. It was orange, watery and lacked any resemblance to hollandaise. The key part of eggs benedict is the hollandaise, so it was off to a bad start from the beginning. Thinning out a nice buttery sauce with champagne was just a bad idea. The steak on top of the English muffins didn't seem to add anything except a requisite meat in the benedict. My girlfriend's standard eggs, sausage and potatoes plate was less adventurous but altogether unflavorful as well. I will say the potatoes were tasty. The meal was subpar par, but the worst part came at the cash register. The waitress never presented us with a bill, so I just told the cashier to charge me for what dishes my girlfriend and I had. I was handed a non-itemized credit card receipt with the total. When I asked why the total was so high, the cashier informed me that the steak & eggs benedict was actually several dollars more expensive than had been listed on the menu, and that our waitress should have told us. I told him I was not informed of this, to which he responded with a back-handed apology that he was sorry, that he didn't want to argue so he'd just give me the money and that sirloin is expensive and that charging $10.75 for it would be ridiculous. He seemed insulted that I would ask to be charged the price that was on the menu, and that I was somehow trying to pull a fast one. The last thing I wanted after having a lousy brunch was to get overcharged and then get attitude for asking about it. The total for my girlfriend and I, with tax and tip, was $41 for brunch. No alcohol - just two breakfast plates, one OJ and one coffee. I like spending money on food, but only if it's worth it. I'd give this place 3 stars if it were half the price. I could go to West Egg, Flying Biscuit or Thumbs Up and have a much, much better brunch for less money, however. There are too many good brunch places in town to have an unflavorful, expensive, boring brunch. The best part about this place is the lack of a wait, but I'd sooner wait 30 minutes than deal with bad food and smarmy customer service. I'll never go back.

I love this place, and no, I'm not a friend of the owner, but he does know me by name after my third time coming because that's just the good guy he is. Babs is like going to your friends porch with good coffee and excellent food. They are soooo dog friendly with water bowls, treats and the occasional bite of bacon. It's more like hanging with friends than being at a restaurant. Can't say enough about Babs. If you are up tight and no sense of humor, then you won't get it! Einsteins is down the street for the humorless!

What a great place! Went here for breakfast during our trip to Atlanta, and we felt very welcomed. We sat outside which was a little warm, but the food and service was outstanding. We had the special corned beef hash and steel cut oatmeal with dried fruit. Mmmmm, both were SO good. Corned beef hash had the perfect runny egg. Definitely LGBT friendly which is great!

Went to Bab's today from out of town for Easter brunch and LOVED it!! What a Mid-town gem in Atlanta this place is! The food was delicious and the personalized service was impeccable. Every little touch and attention to detail made Easter memorable. Randy was soo funny and witty! He had our entire table laughing and blushing throughout our meal. The weather was great so we sat outside and enjoyed the patio, the people, and the tunes. You will love Bab's! Will def come back the next time we are in town. - The Chicks from Texas

So today I had the privilege of trying the tasty little establishment they call Babs. I am really big on breakfast nooks and this place fits the bill. Right off Juniper in Midtown, Babs is one of those places that you would never be able to find on your own unless you were looking for it. But once found, what a discovery! Posters of some drag queens and multi-colored chairs scatter the place with a random couch or other furniture here and there. Definitely kitschy and a hole in the wall, but very Midtown and charming. Had a little bit of a wait to be seated, but I was in no hurry, and once I was the two guys running the place were really nice..and a little sassy (the waiter was good at talking me into getting what I got and convinced the table next to me to order caffeinated instead of decaf coffee), but it was playful and fun. They have a small menu, but always have about 3 specials that they change up often, so the menu doesn't get boring and they tell you about their food, so you know they really care about making good food. I had the omelette with hashbrowns, tomatoes, cheese, and scallions inside and it was DELICIOUS. I wanted to eat the whole thing but it was so big, and came with tasty cubed potatoes and some toast, I had to try it all. A complete, tasty meal. Also, important to a breakfast place...good cup of coffee! GO: If you like good food, fun but quiet atmosphere, fun waitstaff, DONT GO: Big groups, in a rush, don't like fun in the morning.

Cons: Hungover-Aged-Drag Queen Service Flavorless Potatoes Copper Blinds (srsly) WAY too much laughter when someone said "swallow". Silverware was just disgusting. there's no other way to say it. Bitch, I don't care how long you've waited tables, or how many tips you had to earn to pay off your '92 Mercury Sable that runs solely on the energy produced by the 800 rainbow stickers covering it - SAY "YOU'RE WELCOME" TO A CUSTOMER AT LEAST ONCE IN A MEAL. Pros: The wrap, with half a shaker of salt, was delicious. The chef should've been named 'crackers' and had a boiled egg addiction. Making fun of the staff really made my day. The coffee did the trick.

Babs is a quaint little restaurant situated between 5th & 6th on Juniper Street, just one block away from the busy hustle & bustle of Peachtree in Midtown. Its unique quiet location allows patrons to relax & dine in an oasis in the middle of the city. On its exterior, Babs looks like your casual neighborhood restaurant with young diners conversing & drinking at their patio tables. On the inside, however, there's a cozy homely feeling in the atmosphere one wouldn't expect. The dining room, which is actually a converted basement, has paintings, potted plants, & ceramic ornaments adorning its red brick & mortar walls. The atmosphere is bright and serene. Since the room had plenty of windows letting sunshine emanate into the room, one feels as if she was partially outdoors. The furniture was simple yet adequate, consisting of sturdy wooden tables & chairs with a sheen plating. From what I could tell, most of the tables seated two to four people. I ordered the Ham Panini, sweet potato fries, & iced tea for brunch. The thinly sliced ham was savory and moist while the white cheese was gooey and rich in flavor. The two slices of toast of which the ham & cheese rested between had a firm texture, but it was soft enough where it didn't have a crunch when you sunk your teeth into it. I enjoyed every bit of the sandwich. The other reviewers are right. Some of the wait staff here is a little eccentric. However, I found it added a bit of character to the restaurant. None of the wait staff was rude, not by a long shot. At least one gentleman had a charming nonchalant attitude when asking me if I wanted to order anything else. It's hard to explain, but it was a benevolent experience. I would definitely return here again.

If you enjoy eateries that exude an extremely stiff, "I'm the waiter and you're the patron and we are going to get your food and get you out," then Bab's is not the place for you. HOWEVER, if you long for an unmatched quality of superb brunch paired with stimulating interaction with your waitstaff, look no further. For about a year now, I have frequented this lovely hole in the wall located on Juniper between 5th and 6th, and Bab's has never failed to leave me fully satisfied. This is absolutely the perfect place to kick back and relax, whether you are seeking a lavish brunch experience or a great atmosphere for a cup of coffee and lively conversation with a friend. In all my visits, I have never eaten off of the regular menu because their brunch specials are consistently too tantalizing to pass on. I particularly recommend the "Cruncher Omelet," a delicious omelet tossed with hash browns and potatoes, occasionally sprinkled with some asiago cheese. It's simply to die for. I could go on and on about my countless experiences with the delightfully down-to-earth servers, but I'll leave my review with a simple charge to go check it out for yourself. BAB'S IS SIMPLY A MUST! Whether you are just passing through or are a tried and true local, I cannot think of any place I would rather take a friend for breakfast. I'd give it 6 stars if Yelp would let me.

This is a hidden GEM! If you love showtunes you could just spend hours staring at the walls totally forgetting to eat. Luckily I don't really care about showtunes so I totally got down on their turkey Reuben. Although a bit of an oxy moron its a must. Great brunch spot, the required mimosa is served and they even have cans of POP or soda of you are from down here. Drop your dry cleaning off next door and check this place out. Ask for specials and thank me later.

I walked into BABS while I was on a quick lunch break. The service was excellent, the food was great! I ordered an omelet. Fresh is the word that comes to mind,,,!! I would definitely recommend this Restaurant. When in midtown, stop in sit back and enjoy....It is a cozy spot..

I'm a fan of Bab's. It was a few blocks from my office and for 6 years I went there 2-3/ month. A little whole in the wall type of place, where you'll find honest homemade food. Cherry on top: most of the ingredients are locally sourced. Randy and his crew have a quirky sense of humor, but they do care about you enjoying yourself there. This was my home away from home. Coming from Europe, having lunch there was always a safe haven. Forget chain delis, forget trendy to-be-seen places. A little retreat with homemade goodness and always good mood. Thank you guys!

Amazing place. Like eating at "home" away from family. Randy makes you feel like you belong as soon as you walk in. Table wasn't ready so we waited in lounge area. He brought us drinks and complimentary sweet potato fries while waiting. Birds Nest was YUMMY as well as the Blood Orange mimosa. It's definitely a Divine spot :)

The food is always good here and the quaint, neighborly atmosphere is pleasant. They know their ingredients and they are not afraid to make you a fully-stuffed omelet, or serve risotto for brunch, (yum!) Be warned that the owner, (also main server), can sometimes be a snippy Queen, but, overall, he is funny and honest. I have never been disappointed at Bab's and I'm always surprised it is not busier when I go!

I like this place, very rustic and ornately decorated, comfy, the main servers are nice, I am on friendly terms with them. They have specials which last a few days and others which are long running. Their food is cooked well to your specifications and every time I've been here I have enjoyed it. I usually only come on weekdays so they aren't so rushed. Very laid back place on week days.

We were driving thru on our way to Florida and hit up Babs after reading the stellar reviews. Without repeating too much, I must say that all the good stuff said here is well-deserved. We ordered a breakfast including an omelet with salmon, crab, and avocado hollandaise that was fantastic and a baked dish with eggs, ham and cheese. Both dishes were great, with thoughtful presentation, featuring fruit and an attractive garnish. The coffee was also very well roasted and brewed. The service was fast and friendly, and not at all impatient with our cluelessness. We were in and out of this quirky joint in 20 minutes and were very happy for the brief detour into Atlanta.

I have not eaten here all that often as brunch doesn't go over so well as a solo affair--but let me say that when it is, with these guys you would know it. The staff is incredibly friendly in a "you've known them for a while" type way and the food is always incredible and creative. I enjoy looking at the menu, not knowing if i will like it, and leaving it in the hands of the chef to put a lovely concoction together. I once asked them why on earth it wasn't crowded--I am from philly and a place like this would have a guaranteed half hour wait minimum through 2pm on a sat or sun morning. Portions are wonderful and don't bat an eye if something needs to be gluten-free. I hope to walk the two blocks more often, but people should know about this place.

Derrick C.

So just in town from Texas. I've been here three days and I've eaten breakfast here 2x. The servers are super friendly and welcoming. The food is great they have crab and salmon omelet and different specials everyday. My friend decided to go with one today she loved it! Highly recommend this place. And I am a connoisseur of food. I never eat at chain restaurants.

John S.

Came here for brunch today. Had to wait a little bit but it was alright since they got our drinks meanwhile, and they had a small lobby inside. It actually wasn't a long wait, which was nice. Starting to look at the menu, we noticed they only had the brunch menu out, but once asked they gave us the whole menu. I don't think the food took too long to get there either. They actually got my order wrong, and said they'd bring me a new French toast since that's what I'd asked for originally. However, they just brought me a whole NEW plate! And I had already eaten most of the first plate since I was kind of in a hurry, so it was indeed quite a bit of food, as the brunch portions are pretty generous. Overall, it was good food and great that they recognized their mistake and made up for it. Not to mention they accepted the Scoutmob ticket we had and even allowed us to use 2 since there were 6 of us.

Yuck. The whole place needs to be cleaned. Glass over tables with food stuck underneath, dead flies in the window sills. So much attitude - do these people not realize that there are 100 other places to dine in Atlanta and they are clean? Have been here over a 12 times over the years, only because a friend of mine insists. I will not go back.

Went to Babs for Brunch. This is truly a neighborhood gem. It is in the same area as AVRA, Singles, Mitra, ... You could easily miss this great place as it is hard to find, in the basement of another building. The restaurant does not look as a special place from the outside. However it has a lot of atmosphere (greek/European inspiration). The style is informal and very friendly. The menu card is by far not the largest I have seen but everything on there is truly delicious. We have tried most of it by now and all of it is very tasty and very well made. The service is "informal" and you might have to request their attention. However, they are very friendly and they take good care of all the customers. Promise this is a great place to hang out or to meet. There is much more atmosphere / ambiance here than the regular chain stores around the corner. I would strongly recommend people to try it.

Kathleen M.

The chicken, brie, and apple sandwich was divine. The wi-fi was strong. The setting was cozy. And I could walk from my apartment. Why oh why had I never been to Babs before? Why are there so many Midtowners who seem to be in my same boat, having never tried this cozy little spot out? I can't explain it, as this neighborhood joint has a lot going for it. Service is what I'd describe as "European": you've got to get their attention to order, but they'll be friendly about it and never rush you. I'll be back, and I'd recommend you check it out as well. Certainly a new local hangout to love.

I went to Babs because of Daniel B's review. Wow, boy was I glad I did! This might have been my favorite part of the trip to the ATL. I'll admit, we were slow, we just thought it was called Babs. No, it was called Babs in honor of THE BABS, THE Barbara Streisand Babs. Update, this last statement was untrue and Deedra H clarified, "I loved your review but wanted to clarify one thing, Babs is actually named in honor of the John Waters character, Babs Johnson (aka Divine, for all you John Waters aficionados). " Thanks Dee! This Babs is just as fabulous and does not deter from the experience. There were pictures of drag queens in the corner and the music was excellente! Breakfast was fun; our waiter had us in stitches. I was very much reminded of being in SF. The place was quirky, the staff was quirky and the food darn good. We had leek risotto with two eggs over medium on top and sweet potato waffles. Yeah you heard me, sweet potato waffles. Now as a reminder, which I continue to forget, you cannot get mimosas until after 12pm on a Sunday. Even so they have very refreshing non-alcoholic options. Give it a try! Next time in the ATL, I will be back!

While settling our son into his new Condo, a relocation from Chicago, I discovered this fabulous restaurant. It's open for breakfast and lunch and we took advantage of both more than once. The breakfast was fantastic, no grease on the bacon or sausage. Potatoes were not drowned in grease as well. The lunch offer an array of soups and sandwiches as well as entrees. Delicious!!!! The atmosphere is like being in moms in-law apt, very comfortable. Can't forget the coffee!! We noticed how good the coffee was right away and mentioned it to our server, who told us the Owner, is part owner of a coffee plantation in Nicaragua. I started a Tab at Babs for my son since we returned to Chicago. He was very appreciative, and least we know he as access to some really GOOD food.

I arrived in Atlanta from Houston early Sunday morning determined to not eat any food at the airport. I looked on Yelp for a good place for brunch near Piedmont park before I go out on a run and they recommended this place. I almost drove past this place and appreciated the standard free parking lot since I've had to pay for parking or parallel park everywhere else. The place is kinda smallish as most of the tables more suitable for 2-3 people. I was recommended the olympic breakfast which was a largish puff pastry that had scrambled eggs, various meats and I think spinach along with two slices of panni and a few slices of pineapple and orange . They also made sure that I had plenty of italian coffee that I needed to wake up. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and felt that it was a great way to start my visit to Atlanta.

After reading some extremely favorable reviews, I was prepared for an amazing experience at Babs. Unfortunately, I was a bit underwhelmed. We went on a Sunday for brunch - and it wasn't very crowded, which was nice. There were two guys doing most of the serving - I overheard the infamous Randy talking to other tables, but he never really made it to ours. The other gentleman (the co-owner?) was prompt, but not too personable at all. As for the food, it was good. The descriptions were exciting and unusual, and it appeared the menu was thematic and to change often. But when the plates arrived, it looked like pretty much any other breakfast. The included fruit, toast and potatoes were not substantial - one piece of toast and an orange wedge. It wasn't BAD by any means, but not nearly as exciting or delicious as the reviews made it out to be. The coffee was delicious - but for the price point, the meal was lackluster. I'd go back I suppose, but not after trying all the other plethora of brunch options out there.

I finally rolled into Babs after years of hearing about it. My friend lives in 805 and after a rough night at Johnny's Hideaway, we rolled into brunch here sporting last nights's smoky hair and Sunday's big sunglasses. I had never been, so I didn't get the theme thing, but apparently every weekend is a riff on their brunch dishes. Lucky for me, it was greek day and I can't get enough of feta and spinach. I had the greek stromboli - oh my goodness - eggs, feta spread, spinach, tomatoes, rolled into a puff pastry and sliced off.... perfect, rich, exactly what I wanted. The sides were completely average and good - crunchy toast, some scattered fruit, and some crispy potatoes. The iced coffee was delicious - we sat outside with a cool breeze even on the hottest of days. Such a lovely, not-stressful, perfect Sunday brunch...

If you can't find Babs, keep looking. It's inconspicuously nestled in a nook of a space facing a parking lot and its private fountain garden. Find it on the block between fifth and sixth on Juniper. Babs always delights with its unexpected, but always delicious breakfasts and lunches. You might be talked into trying something, but don't worry. This cozy place is run by pros. If there is one neighborhood brunch spot to try in Midtown, this is it.

Mediocre to bad pre-made food, temperamental staff and questionable cleanliness. We arrived for a late (11:00) breakfast excited to try a new place with good reviews. The first server was a pleasant young woman. In the dim cramped basement space, we sat next to a window. Things on the menu seemed lower priced and the specials sounded good so I ordered the hash special with eggs over medium. After adjusting to the space we noticed the vertical blinds on the window splattered with food. A trip to the restroom sends one past a mess of a kitchen. I received a cold slice of a pre-made, unrecognizable conglomerate of "food" topped with over-light eggs and cold roasted potatoes on the side. The hash would compare to one of those breakfast casseroles someone makes from mixing frozen ingredients with tons of cheese, served at a potluck where it sat a while. My companion went with scrambled eggs and bacon. They added cheese she didn't ask for and the bacon was like jerky. After we were served, the server checked in but never came back. After eating then waiting another 20 mins, it must have been my first mistake to ask for the check, then when my portion was significantly more expensive, I asked that my companion and I be charged separately. The curt person (who MUST be Randy according to similar reviews) apparently didn't hear me say yes when asked if I wanted a copy of the receipt. (I've never been asked that at a restaurant, theres just always a customer copy of the receipt.) He offered a receipt again as we departed and when I said yes, scolded me about saying no the first time. I told him I had said yes at the table which made him angry, argumentative and insulting. I'm a grown man so I didn't jump in his childish dramatics. We don't know the inner workings of each other. But when your business is to host and feed people, the LEAST you could do is not insult your guests. I'm a paying, tipping, Yelp reviewing customer. I should leave your business at a minimum willing to give you another try, at best excitedly bringing more friends in next time. There will be no next time nor recommendation. They need to serve freshly cooked food, keep the place clean and practice some emotional intelligence.

Great food, great atmosphere! Babs is a great choice for a casual meal with friendly service. There's a patio for pretty days, as well as seating indoors. (Don't miss the snow globe collection!) They make a great ham-and-cheese panini! Easy walking distance from hotels and the Midtown Mile.

When we arrived there was a five minute wait for seating, which was fine, but every time we moved around one of the servers was shouting at us that we would be seated soon -- as if moving in and of itself was an extreme display of impatience. Our overpriced food was completely unremarkable. The undersized serving of breakfast potatoes was dry and bland, lacking any kind of seasoning whatsoever. We were served a piece of beautiful fruit that was inedible because of all the seeds. Oh, and we paid $9.75 for mimosas, with ice in them. You can get bottomless mimosas, proper ones, in Atlanta for $12-15. The biggest waste of a $50 brunch experience.

Once again, why didn't I write a review for this place last time I came? Oh...cause I was busy eating the chicken/brie sandwich and sweet fries...whilst driving to SC!! LOL I came by again because I needed to relive that taste of brie melting in my mouth...so I dragged the fam in at 9am on a weekday. They open at 8:30am! :) Got myself a chicken/brie sandwich to share with Dad and my sister and mom shared the omelette and they didn't quite like the crabmeat in it. ( I think it's their Asian tongue..so do not mind them.) Randy...got me a wonderful choc/mocha coffee goodness served in a Friends cup...it was perfect, no sugar needed...i had to get one to-go! Once again...the Southern hospitality was welcoming...and tempting me to come live here! Tip-bits: Sweet fries a must! Private parking lot The cafe is on the R on the one way street Dash and dine parking available

This place was such a treat. It was pretty busy because of the Peachtree Road Race, but our service was still fast and sassy. Randy was great. Pomegranate blueberry lemonade, fluffy french toast... my friend really enjoyed his corned beef hash too. All in all, it was a great time. Plus Randy stuck around to chat with my table when things slowed down. He also works with Affairs to Remember, a catering company, and they happened to cater the wedding I was in town for. Also delicious. Would totally go back to Babs.

got there at 1:30 pm on a Sunday .. it was not busy Ok the service was extremly slow. Considering it was not that busy .. had plenty of empty tables.. I think our server must have been tired or something..When he finally took our order I order the waffles with cheese eggs and bacon. My partner got the standard breakfast scrabble eggs with cheese potatoes and sausage. We got our food about 27 minutes later the food 75% of it was COLD. The eggs had no cheese in them so he brought out some shredded cheese to sprinkle over the COLD eggs... how ghetto! The food preparation was nothing special it actually looked like Mcdonalds big breakfast served on a plate triple the cost. Along with that either it was the manager or host he was talking VERY LOUD with another guest , making jokes which I am all for having a good time but not to where its disturbing other guest.. Even though eating the cold eggs was not a HIGH POINT.. I must say this is my first and last time coming to this severely overrated and over reviewed restaurant. I would not come here if the FOOD WAS FREE. I'm just glad I got a parking spot where I didn't have to pay for that too.. I really think they owners need to rethink their how they come accross to customers . also make sure YOUR NOT SERVING COLD FOOD and with SLOW SERVICE.

This place brings a smile to my face. It's small and unique and cozy. There are lots of things to look at, from snowglobes, to dolls to framed art. The ambiance made my dining experience entertaining. I chose a breakfast of eggs, bacon, French toast, potatoes and sangria. The sangria came in a nicely portioned, large glass which is exactly how I like my sangria. It's like Babs was reading my mind. I'm not joking when I say that everything was delicious. The eggs were scrambled well, yet still fluffy. The French toast was spackled with powdered sugar. The bacon and potatoes followed suit and were equally yummy. Just what you'd expect from a good, homemade breakfast. Service was great. I even had a second server check in on me. And because of the friendliness of the staff and the atmosphere, I got to know fellow patrons at a table close by, as the staff heard us talking about the same thing and decided to introduce us. Definitely a cool restaurant with a fun vibe.

On my son's recommendation, I decided to make this a place to meet for business on a Saturday morning, which happened to be during music midtown. There was no one there, which made me think it wasn't open. I walked in and asked if they were and if we could sit outside. Answer "Nooo! (long pause) Yes... hahaha." Being off guard, I still wasn't sure if they were open or if we just couldn't sit outside. Finally we sat down and another waiter came out with an even more difficult disposition to gauge. I realize that catty humor is fun to a lot of people, but that's not what I want at 9am and when I am with a client. I was called "small" several times (even though I was always seated), and the person I was meeting with was insulted by what she was wearing (and she was dressed very professionally, by the way) and it just got over the top quickly, even to insist that we pay with cash to support small business. When I paid with a credit card, they suggested that I work it off in the garden. I dunno... it could have been just me but I had a really good breakfast meeting despite my attendee being put off by the out of drag personality of the staff. The food was pretty good, the prices were decent....but I just don't think I am going to go back. The waiter later said he has comped the bill for people before if they would agree to just not come back. I totally believe him. He admitted that many just don't get his humor. I "get" his humor, but I think it killed the experience, honestly. I think it would be a great place for someone to take a friend that enjoys being ridiculed for fun...but it's a terrible place to take a business associate or a client. Bottom line, Babs is what it is... and people seem to enjoy it for the humor. I just don't enjoy flying daggers of insults as entertainment.

Great farm to table. Had a great cruncher omelet that was on special. Funky interior and a nice vibe. Will definitely return.

Babs is great! The menu is creative and they've got a number of daily specials - we've gone for brunch and had a great variety to choose from, all of which were heavy on fresh produce and flavor. The service is consistently excellent and the super-sassy staff always does a good job of making us feel right at home. We popped in for brunch on my boyfriend's birthday, expecting it to be just like every other time we've gone... but that was until Randy got wind of the special occasion, when he promptly brought out two 16 oz. mimosas (of the extra-strong birthday variety) and, later on, an awesome slice of chocolate cake on the house. (He doesn't sing, so don't worry.) I love the atmosphere, the location, and the fact that we feel like we're going to a friend's house instead of a restaurant. I will certainly be back again (and again).

Steven B.

First off, easy parking. From the outside Babs doesn't look like much and it would be easy to pass right on by. Once inside, though, you find yourself asking "who are these crazy queens and what's that stuff on the walls?" (drag queens, snow globes, movie posters and a high number of fish for a restaurant that's not Asian). Once you ask, the crazy queens are more then happy to explain it to you. The food is your basic standard fare reorganized and served in a non-standard way if you so choose. Listen close to the specials since they are usually the most adventurous spins on old favorites. Also available are canned preserved vegetables and jams. It's like a visit to grandmas house for brunch if grandma had tattoos and a passing love affair with Divine.

Justin C.

We flew into Atlanta for brief visit and decided to visit Babs based on other great review we read here on Yelp. It did not disappoint! Randy was a friendly, entertaining host who made witty conversation and even picked peppers from his garden for us to try. The food was innovative and presented beautifully. The bread pudding was decadent, and everything had a very fresh taste. Loved this place- would definitely make a point to return in the future! (Review by Lindsey)

Babs is just OK. I would not return. We had Sunday breakfast here in early May. Thumbs up for the cute & funky decor/atmosphere. But the menu items were just so-so. The french toast plate has very little toast - one small slice with scrambled eggs and bacon and a little bit of fruit (packaged syrup). The Greek omelette featured feta cheese and crab - any other ingredients noted on the menu were not noticable. The omelette was in definite need of some sort of sauce or 'salsa'. Service was nice enough to refill water, coffee and iced tea glasses. Frankly I put it on a par with IHOP or Denny's in food quality and flavor, which is not saying anything positive.

Great place for brunch! Local restaurant, and many of the vegies/herbs are grown outside the restaurant. Staff is friendly and funny, and the menu is great. We had steak eggs benedict & an omelet with ricotta cheese & shrimp. Everything was delicious. Oh yeah - Best Coffee in town. Go for the coffee.

It has been a long time since I have been to Atlanta, but I had been pre-scouting the restaurants before coming. What I quickly realized is that not many got good reviews. This place, on the other hand, has and SG thought it was a good spot to walk to and have breakfast. He had eaten here once before and enjoyed it. This is a pretty unassuming place off the more major street. It is in the downstairs/basement area of a mixed retail building.The building has some character with brick and the outdoor seating is surrounded by gardens and fountain. The weather was slightly uncharacteristic Atlanta, warm but very comfortable and a very light sprinkle. We stepped inside to let them know that we would be dining outside. The waiter came out immediately to offer drinks and menus and cleaned our table. The coffee came before we knew it. The special of the day was a crunchy omelette with hash browns inside.... intersting. But not tempting enough. The menu is small. No pancakes or french toast. Some very appealing omelettes, wraps, etc.Both of us found the omelettes appealing and ordered.I ordered the smoked turkey with cheddar and scallion omelette with sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes. SG got the ham, swiss and roma tomato omelette with the potatoes. Both were served also with a bread side.And, they were $7 or a$8 and change respectively. CHEAP, relative to most Atlanta fare. There was also a decent amount. Just moments before our breakfast was served, I heard the door open behind me and then reopen again just under a minute later.I smelled the best smell of basil after than. I knew there must be a garden near by. Sure enough, breakfast came out and the waiter had taken the liberty of dressing up my sliced tomatoes with fresh basil. I am a sucker for fresh items. As it turns out, they grow most of their herbs that they use in their food and have a small garden with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, spearmint, and most of the common cooking herbs. The omelettes were very fluffy and full of the fixins. The bread was good and the butter on the side for your own skimpy or generous application. The potatoes actually looked great! Overall, very generous for the price and DELICIOUS. I loved the combination of the cheddar and smoked turkey and SG seemed to really like his ham and swiss. My tomatoes and fresh basil were great. The basil really added to the tomatoes was SOOOO FRESH and not even a browned edge on them. The waiter was excellent. He made sure the coffees were never low and that we were well taken care of. He even showed me around the garden and shared the restaurants passion of using fresh herbs. I have great respect for that and both enjoyed my meal and the special attention that we got during out breakfast. I am glad this is close to SG so that he can enjoy it often.l

Sunday brunch. Sat outside. Ordered: - sweet tea - OK - grilled chicken and brie panini - DELICIOUS - goat cheese and portobello mushroom omelet with sweet potato fries - OK - some kind of "Asian" salad with strange-looking grilled chicken breast - OK Service was OK, friendly, but after we got our food nonexistent. If I ever went again, I will stick with the paninis.

While visiting Atlanta with my partner the first week of August, we were pointed to Babs by the lovely desk clerk at our hotel (Hotel Indigo,) when we asked for a great place to get brunch that would be pet friendly. We opted to sit outside on the patio (that reminded me of the porches my family had in the South when I was a child,) because we had the dog in tow. Not only was the staff accommodating, but relished in giving the dog treats and petting her as she ate it up like the love-sponge she is. The omelets we ordered were amazingly delicious and impossibly fluffy, and the Bellinis were heaven on that typically humid August morning. The entire meal was completely worth sitting outside (though the ceiling fans helped to cool it off a bit,) and enjoying nature. Afterwards, we decided to ask the staff if they knew of any LGBT friendly places we might go to make our Saturday night a bit more exciting. Turns out, we asked the perfect person! Randy not only knew of every place in town we *had* to see, but he gave us door passes and drink tickets to use at a bar that night. Though we didn't make it to that bar, we did make it to the Palomar rooftop for drinks and Ecco for dinner as he recommended. Anyone visiting Atlanta and looking for a great meal in a lovely atmosphere and all being overseen by a wonderfully helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff needs to make sure to stop in Babs! It will clear up any questions you have about what exactly it means to have "Southern Hospitality".

Went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning, More like one and half stars. The main points of my one visit (I don't plan to return) are: Positives: 1. Cheerful, attentive service 2. Nice location and establishment; tucked away (almost can't be seen from the street) Negatives: 1. Mediocre food - I ordered a breakfast egg wrap and was thoroughly underwhelmed. I don't really remember what it tasted like; neither the taste, nor the texture distinguished themselves. The coffee also tasted like percolator-style, burnt Waffle House brew; not bad by itself but overpriced for what it was. Which brings me to the second point... 2. Overpriced - Everything about Babs' food screams "greasy spoon diner", except the prices and the names of the dishes. I paid an extra $2.25 for "fruit and potatoes", only to find out that "fruit" means a thin sliver of watermelon and a slice of orange that was more peel than (dried out) pulp To summarize, I'm not going back.

This place was awesome! We're in town for the weekend and stumbled across this place for breakfast. The crunchy omlette was one of the best breakfasts we've ever had. Cornmeal waffle was incredible and the coffe was fantastic. We'd be here weekly if we lived in town!

Casey G.

Not for the easily offended :) Great, small, neighborhood gem. I've been several times for brunch, and it only gets better. Don't come in here with an attitude because Randy will put you in your place (as he should). We even left with nicknames. Great coffee, excellent breakfast.

Food: pretty basic brunch food. limited menu. executed pretty decently, but nothing really sets it apart in my mind. Drinks: dunno, we were there before noon on a sunday. OJ was not fresh squeezed. Value: a couple dollars more expensive for each of the menu items than i might expect based on what we got. Ambiance: This is a great spot for locals. the decor is unique and the staff is fun. Relaxed atmosphere - didn't feel rush. Service: good. Recommended for locals.

While visiting Atlanta a few weeks ago we discovered this little gem while looking for brunch that wasn't too crowded. So glad we stopped here! The food was just incredible (omelet with balsamic infused tomatoes, shrimp, goat cheese and basil on trip one and roast beef panini with gorgonzola and caramelized onions on trip 2) and the owner, who helped us most of the time, Randy was fun and hilarious. It seems a lot of their items are grown on and off site by the owners which is a double bonus. We loved it so much we came back before leaving Atlanta with more friends. Definitely come with not only an empty stomach but a sense of humor and/or thick skin because Randy will tease you to death!

My favorite thing about Babs is that the restaurant is named after Babs Johnson from John Waters' cult flick Pink Flamingos. A framed portrait of the female impersonator sits on the windowsill in one of the dining nooks. Anyway, I discovered this charming basement eatery while searching for a Midtown lunch spot near my friend's office. Many a Yelper sing its praises, so I printed two free beverage coupons off Babs' website and headed on over. Both of us enjoyed the day's salad special: pecan- and panko-crusted chicken over a bed of mixed field greens, shining with balsamic vinaigrette. Chopped red pepper and squash plus dollops of goat cheese added the perfect gastronomic ka-POW! With my free cup of piping tea, my lunch total rang in at just under $10.

After an extraordinarily late drunken night before, headache looming, and stomach growling, I trudged down Juniper street with our "yelp empress", and oversized sunglasses in tow. I needed food stat! You could probably miss this place if you drove by to fast, but thank goodness I had aguide to show me the way. They have a pretty small brunch menu which consisted of a few breakfast items, and sandwiches.I ordered the big butch breakfast ( hey it was gay pride weekend so they had special dish names lol) Which was a plate of french toast and other goodies! Can't wait to go back and try out their lunch!

This was a pretty solid place for brunch. I had sweet potato waffles which came with eggs (mine were scrambled with cheese), potatoes sprinkled with parmesan, two strips of bacon and a cherry topping for the waffles. It was pretty good fare, although the bacon might have been a touch over done (I am picky about my bacon!). I really liked the casual, laid back atmosphere as well. It was nice enough to sit outside, but I opted for an indoor table. I was alone, but never felt weird, like you do in some places, eating by myself. Other patrons were friendly towards me, eyeing my big plate of yumminess when they came in. The service was great and they were all very friendly and prompt. Probably the best part was the pomegranate, blueberry lemonade. I would go back just for that!

Thanks fellow yelpers for this find. I have walked past the building many times and never had a reason to go in, until I read your reviews yesterday. I've even had coffee several times in boring old Starbucks a block away, to wash down a dry oversweet pastry. But this morning I went to Babs instead and met the famous Randy and had a really good omelet. Its a good experience, and will elevate your day from boring to special. Just dont be sensitive when Randy insults you. Cause he will!

Bab's is one of the best brunch places in Atlanta. Randy is a hoot to talk to and always knows what you want before you do. I recommend the Artichoke Bites and ordering whatever the special is. This is a regular spot on my brunch list.

Phoebe T.

The food was great, everyone I came with finished everything on their plates and everyone commented on how yummy the food was. However, the menu here is just too limited (I think they just had omelets and waffles on the menu). While we liked the food, we felt that if we came back, we would just be eating the same food again. Food and service were great but not sure I'd come back here unless the menu changes so we can try new entrees!

Billy W.

This place is a wonderful breath of fresh air, fresh food, lively and entertaining service. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. There's always something new on the menu along with fantastic specials. You might be told what you want to eat and drink for Sunday brunch, I'd recommend going with the flow if you can, I've always had good results! Food and drinks can get a little pricy, but it's always good, and I'll be coming back often!

this place is the tits! oh man, the chicken & brie panini = to die for! and sweet potato fries that were better than the vortex's! the curry dipping sauce was delicious as well! randy, the owner, is so crazy. but in a good way :P we'll definitely be back!

Babs was our best eating experience in a recent trip to Atlanta. Great, eclectic and casual atmosphere in a mostly ressidential neighborhood. We came on a Sunday morning for brunch and had some delicious never ending glasses of Blueberry Lemonade, an italian egg white omelette with Steak and Mozarella cheese as well some traditional scrambeled eggs, with bacon, a fruit salad and home style potatoes. Everything delicious and the staff was wonderful!

Talk about the luckiest walk down Juniper EVER! Not sure where to go with this. . .the food, the atmosphere, the service. They were all AMAZING. I went out on a limb for me and did the special of the day and was SO glad I did. This great little place is exactly why I miss Atlanta. . .superb food in a quaint atmosphere that's fabulous and just quirky enough to ensure you're paying attention. I'm a sucker for the details, so the carafe of sweet tea and the mantle full of snow globes sucked me in immediately. Bab's will be a do-again!!

Stacey S.

My husband and I ate here this morning-what a great place! I had the bagel and salmon plate, he had the juniper street breakfast wrap, both were really yummy. Randy also brought over some fried green tomatoes they had picked from their garden that morning, and they were awesome, with a delicious sauce. It was really nice to make a connection with the guys there, they were super personable-I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Atlanta..

One doesn't write a review for the food or service alone. It's an intangible quality like the one you get at Babs from the moment you arrive. The lovingly cared for garden area where the grow some of their own herbs. The children's table next to the flowers and fountain. The little birds that peck from the feeders, and from little bits of food thrown in their direction. This is as "Disneysh*t" as it gets. On one of my last visits, a day off from the rat race if ever I needed one, I sat outside on a gorgeous sunny Friday under the shade of an umbrella near the fountain and felt instant nirvana, even without food or drink. A member of the staff came out almost instantly and I ordered a mimosa, no sparking fruit filled beverage as it was Friday unfortunately, and a cup of the watermelon gazpacho. The plate had ice around the bowl to ensure it stayed chilled. It was light, spicy and spot on perfect. No extra seasonings needed. As I was in the mood for one of the regular menu paninis, the chicken/tomato/brie, I got half of that with the previously mentioned soup of the day. But I could not forgive myself if I didn't get Randy's sweet potatoe fries. They're crispy and tender but a little outdated of course. What saves them and makes them something I have to get on each visit? The curry, siracha mustard sause that's served with them. I want to be embalmed with this stuff when I die. It's creamy, spicy and just plain damn addictive. So for someone who needed a much deserved day off from work I get instant nirvana, a refreshing, spicy cup of watermelon gazpacho, half of a solid panini, addictive fries and a mimosa. Total... 18 bucks. I'll take this over a spa visit any day. The service was wonderful as always, and yes they can be quirky at times (one of the reasons I eat here), and helped add to my eventual pleasure coma. So much so that I left a 35 percent tip. It was either leave the rest of the cash with me that I had taken out for the day or throw it away on something later. I think I made the better choice. So if you go on a weekend for brunch, and don't listen to Jennifer B who make comments like "people of that nature", let Randy order for you. I made the mistaken of not letting him do it last week and though the food was good, it didn't have that unexpected zing like some of the past things he's selected, like lentils with poached eggs and a side salad, toast and fruit. I won't be making that same mistake again, i.e. ordering for myself. And most of all, just relax, linger and enjoy yourself. After all, in this increasingly corporate logo driven restraunt game, little gems like Babs need all the loyals customers they can get. I'm definitely glad to say we will be two of those.

Fail. How do you serve someone coffee with two used sweet and lows floating in the bottom? What is the appropriate response? Do yourself a favor and go to Einsteins on 10th. Food is better and you don't have to drink someone else's backwash. I get being a small business, but attitude issues from the owner (soup natzish) isn't cool.

We visited "Babs" for the 1st time on Mother's Day of 2011. The service was a tad standoffish & at certain points quiet rude. I'm a girl who runs with people who know what they like & don't need to be told what they want. If you are like us then this might not be the spot for you. Having hung out plenty of times with people of that nature we adapted quickly, but if your not prepared it will take you off guard. I ordered the Crab Cake Wrap & the others got told what they wanted without an explanation of what it was they were getting. My mother (who was the most important) LOVED it & Randy. She got the sparkling pome. drink with the Stromboli breakfast special. My brother got what was only described to him as a "crunch omelet" & was less than pleased. The hash browns that were inside the omelet were of the frozen kind & came with a side of freezer burnt. My Crab wrap was...o.k...not bursting with flavor, but I did love the sweet potato fries with the spicy curry dip. Yum! My boyfriend after getting "schooled" on his attire ordered the seafood omelet & didn't have much to say. I figure Babs would be a FANTASTIC "cheers" type spot where "everybody gets to know your name", but on mothers day it was no shinning gem, with little to no service, freezer burnt food & unnecessary rude comments...left us feeling less than confident about this place, BUT if I am in the area again I will give it another go...It has such great potential. Maybe it was an off day...It's ok. : ) Mom loved it & that's all that mattered, : )

Went for brunch and the food was good, not great but the service was dismal. When there are so few tables they shouldn't have that problem. My waiter disappeared and I had to flag down a different one to get any service.

There was nothing special about Babs when I went for brunch. It was dark inside and the blinds were down in all the windows (i think to keep the heat out) giving it a kind of medieval dungeon feel. The food was good, but nothing amazing like I would expect given how many stars it has on here. Also, although I had heard great things about the waiters, they didn't really seem to like my friend and I all that much and were just moderately nice to us.

Unique little spot that offers a great menu. Not a ton to chose from but what was there was perfect; quality over quantity. Really enjoyed their omelet which was prepared to perfection. Only negative was the food was a little pricey but worth the trip to eat somewhere different.

I can't seem to understand why I've never been here before! Cute restaurant that I've already suggested to two friends. I had the chicken & brie sandwich with sweet potato fries and it was magnificent!! The way the flavors from the fries and the sandwich mixed together in your mouth...simply can't be put into words! will definitely be back!!! (with friends!)

I have to say that Basia's review below must be accurate, because my wife and I had a very similar incident with the same bruise-marked server at this restaurant, on the same day (this past Mother's Day). We walked in, asked if we could sit outdoors to eat, and were met with incredible attitude from this server (the kind you do not show to paying customers). We were so shocked by the attitude, we didn't know what to say initially. Absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. He showed us to a table indoors, but my wife refused to sit, so we left. The sad part of this for my wife and I is that this restaurant is where we first met and had our first date. Needless to say, we will never go there again.

When I woke up in the morning, my mission was to find Babs and eat breakfast there. I decided a quick run to my destination would mitigate the fact that i was going to be loading up on greasy deliciousness. I missed it the first jog past because the sign is on the side. Babs is very homey, it is in a cozy little house. I ordered the crab omelet which was packed with real crab meat, mozarella cheese, and tomatoes -- my favorite! the breakfast potatoes were crispy and tasty with nice garnishes of stuff i can't name. The portion was more than enough for me, and the price was still so decent! You should take a morning jog there also.

This was a fun and entertaining place to dine for brunch. I particularly enjoyed the witty and sarcastic attitudes of the waitstaff, but could understand how more apprehensive folks might take offense, particularly if they are trying to impress a conventional client. Both the mimosa and Bloody Mary were great and somewhat divergent from the standard tastes served elsewhere. The food was also good and filling, but the selection was limited. Overall, I would recommend this place for the open-minded looking for a variant atmosphere for brunch.

Firstly, I am not a friend on the owner. I am from out of town and found this place by happenstance. The menu was creative and my meal was delicious. The service was witty and pleasant. The homey, farm-like atmosphere was delightful. I would recommend to anyone looking for a non-cookie cutter brunch.

I came here when I was really hungover one Saturday and it was the best decision I made all weekend. The server was fabulous and he knew just what I needed...a mimosa! I am not even sure I told him I wanted that or actively ordered my food, but everything was on point. The food was great, and the waiter topped off my mimosa for free. BOOM. I left here very satisfied and then had a food coma....perfect.

So delicious. The crab cake wrap and chicken & Brie sandwich were amazing and the sweet potato fries with the curry dipping sauce were unreal. My wife and I will definitely be back soon.

Not sure who the server is, but he was nothing short of a total jag to my Dutch friend and I on Tuesday morning. From the moment we walked in (along with my 16 mo old daughter, well behaved and in a stroller), he was rude, insincere, and absolutely made the entire experience intolerable. Food was great. However, my Dutch pal didn't quite understand an omelet and instead of explaining it to her, he loudly repeated himself into her ear what it was, as if she were deaf. She's not. She just doesn't know what am omelet entails. So she orders steel cut oats which she just didn't like (texture is different/bland), and he acted so insane about it when she said coyly that she didn't like them. He loudly asked what was wrong with them, were they sour? Etc. She then asked for a plain bagel, which he insisted on toasting much to her not wanting it toasted, because as he said, 'You want it toasted, it will taste better'. Then I asked at the end for him to split the bill. You would have thought I asked for a kidney.I said to the man, look I'm sorry you're having a bad day... Why are you so flustered?! He then melted down about two call ins and having to do all the work on his own ( there were some people there to fix tables, he wasn't expecting them...). Bottom line, a customer pays your wage. Without us, you would not have a job. You can only survive on the good food shtick for so long. I will never go back there. I had the most uncomfortable breakfast in my life. I was afraid to tell him how the meal was in fear of him going bananas on me. He was loud, abrasive, rude, and so many other things. Food can be great, but service can break that experience and make the food taste awful. Take your hard earned money to ihop.

Babs is a one-of-a-kind Midtown eatery. Don't judge a book by it's cover because this unassuming breakfast/lunch joint will surprise you. We stop in often and always have a great experience. Randy manages every detail of the menu incorporating fresh ingredients and seasonal produce. One of my favorites is the spinach, portobello mushroom and goat cheese omelet, it'll melt in your mouth. Everything's delicious, especially the Blood Orange Marmalade!

I've been going to this place for years, and I have enjoyed a nice majority of my experiences here. You get excellent, freshly-prepared food, with herbs from their garden, and in limited quantities of their specials. While some people have shared their thoughts on the service being a bit rude, I would say to them that the chiding and the mocjing is really part of their charm. For a place named after a John Waters character titled "The Filthiest Person in the World", the kitsch and relaxed atmosphere of the place, peppered with Divine memorabilia makes the place dear to my heart. On weekdays, this is my secret place to have a satisfying lunch without going to a bustling restaurant with lots of din. On the weekends, I jump at the opportunity to have brunch with friends here. Just remember to get there before 3pm!

What can I say other than Food Orgasm-worthy. Fresh food made with passion and Love. If you are looking for a hearty breakfast with an indie vibe and seasoned fresh picks, Babs is it :) Also love the element of surprise, everytime I go the menu is different-they are truly inspired by the food fairys!

We went here for breakfast while in Atlanta for a wedding. We thought it might be nice to get something local, instead of the ol' Starbucks standby, and I am so glad we did! We were greeted by their very friendly staff as soon as we approached the door. Now I'll admit -- my first inspection of the menu was a little underwhelming. It just seemed pretty basic and like nothing much to get excited over. Standard breakfast fare: eggs, toast, etc. We decided to go for it anyway, and upon being seated, our server gave us the run-down on their specials. That's where it started to get good! Nearly everyone in our party ordered one of the specials. Most notable were the corned beef hash (absolutely delicious definitely homemade, but not so homemade that it stops tasting like good old corned beef hash!), the cornmeal waffle (amazing!) with huevos rancheros on top, and the crowd favorite: the "crunchy" omelette, which was a really delicious omelette of ham, tomatoes, cheese, and I don't know what else but there were CRISPY HASH BROWNS also folded in! Awesome -- such a good idea, I can't believe we've never thought of it before! I'm not a coffee drinker, but throughout the meal, everyone kept commenting about how good the coffee was. Apparently they have it specially imported -- like I said, I wouldn't know it from Folgers, but those who know said that it was darn good coffee. Basically, we left very full and very happy, and feeling like the people who run Babs really care about doing a great job and serving great food. I highly recommend it -- we'll be back on our next trip to Atlanta!

Absolutely amazing! I love the food and I love the people. Randy and I often sit and talk as I eat (when and if it is ever slow or quiet). What really won me over was the fact that when Randy, who had just learned of my dietary restrictions for Lent, made a special plate just for me. I love the personal feel when I go to Bab's and you miss that when you go to your classic chain. The food is fresh and tasty. And the sweet potato fries are to die for (yum). I will definitely be going back and I am definitely telling all of my friends to give Bab's a try!

So glad I was able to find this place through yelp and pass the tip on to my sister that goes to Tech. I was visiting for the week and looking for a good brunch place when this popped up in the listings. Decided to give it a try and ended up walking into a place that felt like a long-time atlanta midtown institution. There's no such thing as nicer service. The food was also perfectly to order, and the menu had exactly the things that I wanted. For anyone else who understands the importance of toasted bagel with cream cheese, this place is for you. They also have a special themed brunch every sunday with items like challah french toast or wasabi hollandaise on poached eggs (samurai theme). The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is because there was something a little off about the black coffee, but I'm weird about that so don't listen to me. This place is awesome and has free wifi, check it out. ps - this is not just a breakfast place, it also has a lovely looking lunch menu, but I didn't try it and so can't comment.

Breakfast here was delicious. They have some creative gourmet menu items which have things you wouldn't think go together, but end up being delicious. I had the crab omelette, and it was chock full of fresh crab. The only thing a bit lacking is the service. It's a small shop and as a result service may not be the quickest, but it is definitely worth the wait!

Nate S.

I have to say I was pretty excited to find a place downtown that served breakfast in the afternoon. The setup of the place is cool and the staff was friendly. The menu was pretty limited - lots of interesting sounding choices. I had an omelet with ham cheese and I believe hash browns inside. It was pretty good and light, but a little small. It just wasn't a 4/5 star omelet. We wanted to be but just weren't blown away. It's worth trying out.

On my last visit to Atlanta, I had the pleasure of eating at Babs. It was a short walk from my Midtown hotel and the food was amazing! But more than that, the feeling of warmth and hospitality by the staff was a welcome change. I consider it an honor to patronize places like this.

I think they must have ran out of flavor the day I went. But they do serve the kids drinks in sippy cups, which is something every restaurant should copy.

Came in with a group of friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was super friendly & fun (Randy & Katie). Our brunch was delicious- I started with a yummy Prosecco cocktail then had a sweet potato & chicken hash with some fried eggs on top (perfect meal for my hangover). We'll definitely be back & will recommend it to friends.

Food is amazing. The restaurant is inside the basement of an old brick house. Very unique. The wait is not bad at all. No reason to wait 1.5 hours at blue bird cafe when you can have better food and no wait at this hidden gem.

Lisa H.

This cute funky little neighborhood restaurant really brings home the bacon. It's right around the corner from where I work so I eat lunch there frequently with the hubs. It only took two visits and Randy considered us "regulars" He is hysterical ! I get a great lunch and entertained at the same time. The sweet potato fries are too die for and it's the curry type dipping sauce that just sends them over the top. Make sure to check out the specials, they've always been winners! Today we both had the jambalya, perfect blend of spice and heat with lots of yummy shrimp and sausage. Oh and grab a glass of freshly brewed red zinger iced tea to wash it all down. Try this place once and you'll be a regular too! Next on the agenda is to drive in to Midtown on Sunday and have breakfast with the family unit!

I have horrible liquid stomach after eating here. My girlfriend also became horribly sick after eating here too. I tried to speak to the owner about the raw eggs and crab meat he served us and he blew us off by calling me a queen! If you want to spend all day on the toilet go her for a meal!

Bab's is fantastic! Just listen to Randy - he won't steer you wrong. Also dogs are more than welcome an everyone treats them like family. I went there for Mother's Day this year and Randy told us we were getting his version of French Toast as an app. It was amazing - similar to a pancake but with strawberries, blackberries, blackberry sauce and whipped cream. And that was just the beginning. My mom was tres impressed and loved it.

As an out-of-towner we tried to find an adorable, unique place to eat breakfast while visiting Atlanta. We found it here! The place is tiny in size but the menu is loaded with deliciousness. We sipped mimosas and stuffed our faces with crabmeat omletes for a solid hour till we surrendered to Atlanta goodness. Not five stars only because of the man waiting on us... who we wanted so badly to love because he was a hoot and a half (not to mention the locals seemed to love him) but he literally visited our table to gab about local gossip and other randomness every few minutes. So often, my husband and I barely finished a sentence shared just between the two of us. Bless his heart for trying though!
(4)
Liz M.

I got the goat cheese and portebello omelette which was delicious! It came with generous sides (perfectly seasoned red skin potato hash browns and two slices of toast) and it was exactly what my friends and I needed after all of the booze the night before. The waiter could tell we were all hungover and had some fun with us, but he was hilarious. I'd definitely go back!

Steve U.

this was a mere few blocks from a nerd conference i'm attending at the loews and when i asked the yelps for info regarding local lunch spots. babs popped up on the map and it was totally walkable. now i know everyone raves about the sweet potato fries. with good reason, they're sprinkled with crack. however, you should note well that they have a helluva lot of good stuff on the menu. that said, be sure to listen to the special list, it's damn good. this was a point of some minor sensitivity on the part of the manager. he seemed keen to point out that they do a lot of good cooking in there. he then proceeded to run through an impressive list of daily specials. i opted for the sriracha chicken salad wrap. holy crap that was good. there were a number of other items on the list that i was jonesing to try. my coworker's gazpacho was served double bowled with ice. hardcore. check it out.

From the outside, this place looks...eh, just OK, but when I walked in I thought...hmmm, this place has something going for it. The food is pretty good, the mood is very casual and lighthearted, and everyone seemed to be very friendly. Its exactly what you want for a low-key, quick Saturday breakfast. The server told me what sides I was going to have...he said "there are choices, but I'm making them for you today." The neighboring table learned over and told me to trust him, that's just how it works at Babs. The crab cake wrap I had was great! The sweet potato fries were a little too sweet and too salty for my taste. The "I would've never expected this here" atmosphere and friendly service make it worthwhile. I'm definitely adding it to the rotation.

My wife and I stopped in this place on our way to the airport. One of the guys behind the counter gave me an attitude for telling him we were in a rush, I then realized that I was completely in the wrong. The food here is really good and you shouldn't be in a hurry to eat it. I had the cuban sandwich was was great. The bread was soft, the ham was flavorful. My wife had an omelette with the freshest eggs I've tasted in years!

Breakfast and a show! We come here primarily for brunch on the weekends and love the egg stromboli! You need to get there before 11:30 on Sunday to beat the church crowd. The service is great and very entertaining. I think the owners are also the servers so they have a vested interest in your experience. We did learn this is the only privately owned restaurant in the area, where all of the others have backers or are part of a chain. I think this makes a big difference in the quality of the food and the atmosphere. The menu is pretty small with unique combinations, however the food is fantastic! The portions are huge. The price is a little bit higher than what I would like to pay for breakfast ($30 for 2), but worth it.
(4)
Evan B.

To start, there is more parking than will ever be used and it's safe too. You enter next to the patio area with tables for nice weather amongst vegetable and herb gardens when in season. Even the window boxes have herbs-and everything is used in the kitchen. Almost entirely organic, the food is quite good! There are some fun twists on standards and the menu changes very often. The staff are sweet and nice-and won't allow you to order the wrong item-you'll get the breakfast that you want and it will be excellent! My mom says the oatmeal is the best she's had in years. If you're lucky, Randy, (owner), will be there and you'll get a heads up on what's coming up on the menu for special occasions! There's a catering menu on the table-if you work anywhere downtown, check it out! It's nothing like the usual and thank goodness for that.

The Scoutmob-Tour-of-Atlanta continued this morning/afternoon with a trip for brunch at Babs. Upon entrance to Babs, we were overwhelmed with a staff willing to help us with whatever we wanted. One thing can certainly be said of Babs: the quality of service is excellent. We were well taken care of during the entire meal, and the staff was extremely friendly. The second thing to note about Babs is this: for what you pay, you will get a veritable feast. All of the dishes were enormous given the price, and while the menu was small the variety between dishes was great. There were a lot of options, from the standard waffles, eggs, and sausage (my choice) to a "stromboli" of sorts. The fruits served with each dish were fresh and delicious, and not your standard grocery store pineapple-melon-cantaloupe-grape mix. We're talking fresh strawberries, orange slices, and huge apple wedges (this should be a model for other aspiring brunch places). The only reason Babs gets 4 stars rather than 5 is because I was slightly disappointed in the quality of some of the other food. Their potatoes were perfect, and their eggs scrambled exactly how I like them, but the waffles left a lot to be desired. The texture of the waffles was too dry, and it was difficult to get through a whole waffle without drowning it in syrup. The pork sausage that - by request - accompanied the waffle was cooked just a bit too long, and was a little chewy for my tastes. Normally, these issues would be enough for me to knock this down to a 3-star, but the exceptional service, good atmosphere, and general attitude of the staff definitely earns them enough of a bonus to get to 4 stars. If you're looking for a nice, relaxing Sunday brunch, this is your place.

Chrissy J.

What a great little place! I have walked past dozens of times and never gave Babs a second glance until I read the reviews on Yelp. Thanks Yelpers - I'm definitely a fan. The goat cheese, spinach & mushroom omelette is amazing - STUFFED full of goat cheese. Roasted potatoes were heavenly. Randy is hilarious! I will have to bring a snow globe to add to his collection.

Jaime D.

Amazing hidden gem - I love babs for any meal. There are always tons of fresh and wonderful specials with food fresh from the garden. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly, I take work there and do it on their free wifi. Randy and his whole staff are great to talk to and have really established a Midtown mainstay. Go to Babs!!!

Wish I could give a more detailed review but I could not even get seated to try it on a recent Sunday. The staff was overwhelmed! People were sitting and waiting on their checks, tables were sitting uncleared, their were probably fifteen people waiting for a table. I was told the owner was out of town but seriously, have enough properly trained staff and some sort of organization. I will maybe give it a chance one more time.

Donald R.

Okay this place is pretty much the definition of casual - it's a bit shabby and tiny, but the food here is good...prepared with just a little extra flavor and attention to detail. The staff is very friendly. I love the peach walnut chicken wrap - I would never guess that peaches and walnuts taste good in a chicken wrap but it does.

We went there this morning with some friends. Overall, it was very disappointing given the high reviews! We ordered OJ because the waiter said it was fresh-squeezed. It definitely was not, tasted more like minute made OJ. I had a vegetable montage wrap and it was pretty boring. The ingredients seemed pretty low quality. The one high point were the sweet potato fries with curry dipping sauce. The others weren't too thrilled with their meals either. Also the music was pretty random inside.

Christine W.

I'd heard/read such great things about this place and am always up for a new place. Babs has tons of potential...quirky decor with exposed brick and fireplace in the basement of an old house. We went for breakfast. The food was ok and the portions were oversized. Service...horrible! No eye contact, our server kept walking off as we tried to talk to him, didn't offer water, didn't come back to check on us, and just seemed rather distracted although there was only one other couple in the place. The first cup of decaf had a ton of coffee grounds in it, the second still had some but we felt like we were an inconvenience so we didn't press. And to top it off, the place could use a good cleaning. The blinds haven't been cleaned in a few years and there were crumbs on the tabletops...under the glass. Get it together people! Just a little extra effort and you'd have a gem on your hands. It's a shame, we live a block away but won't be back.

We went to Babs for lunch on a Tuesday and was delighted. I had a crab cake roll up and my friend had the chicken w Brie sandwich Both were very good. The sweet potato fries are wonderful. we'll go back again- the environment is funky, eclectic and homey w a wifi corner w a sofa and arm chairs.

Ari K.

I went back to Bab's, thinking I'd give it another chance because I did like the food. I had the same server (the place is small, so I think I have about a 50% chance of having him as my server), and, unfortunately, the same bad experience with him. It's just not worth being harassed (and although I'm sure he thinks it's cute and funny, it's really not -- and I'm pretty lighthearted), so I'm done with Babs. If you have a very high tolerance for that sort of thing, then by all means go, because it's pretty tasty. As for me, though, I'm done with the place.

Bryan L.

If you live in or around midtown you MUST try this place. The food is always incredible (sweet potato waffles say no more) and the service is the best. Randy and everyone who works here couldn't be more friendly. If you're not sure what to order try any of the daily specials and you won't go wrong.
(5)
Laura W.

I've been here twice already and I am a lifetime fan already. It has a very cozy atmosphere both inside and out. Their brunch is some of the best I've ever had, and it expands beyond the normal omelette & potato choices too. They change their brunch menu on a pretty regular basis and so far I've had a breakfast stromboli and an asian-inspired eggs benedict dish. Both were amazingly delicious and not what I might normally order. The breakfast potatoes that come with each dish are ridiculously good. On top of all that, the staff (and the owner!) are friendly and very funny. Be prepared to be told what you are having, but trust them. They know.

jennie b.

Delicious, inventive menu. We went for brunch. Dining here is an experience - you're really treated like a true guest. Don't pass up the pomegrante lemonade. Come eat here! Sit outside while the weather's nice. You will be so glad you came!

This is a cute little cafe in th eheart of Midtown's new condo district. Regulars here get to know the owners and staff and feel like part of the family. Sandwiches and salads round out the menu that is complimented by cakes and coffees.

Donna C.

I found Babs by accident while walking with a friend through the neighborhood. Wow what a freaking find! We went at the tail end of Sunday brunch, which closes at 2:30, not the advertised 3:30 by the way. I had a massive roast beef sandwich, piled high with roast beef and turkey, covered in cole slaw, and a thick slice of tomato on toasted bread. It was served with sweet potato fries and a curry sauce for dipping. The fries were just crispy enough, with large flakes of sea salt. The sauce was a delicious yellow curry sauce, that if I had a gallon of would probably not be enough. My friend got a breakfast stromboli, which was phylo pastry dough, filled with ricotta, turkey, spinach, eggs, and cheddar cheese. Unfortunately, since we came in near close, they only had one left, the one my friend got, or else I would have gotten one in addition to my sandwich just to be near it . It was that good. This is a local place I will take out of town friends, in town friends, family, complete strangers, and so on. The staff is friendly and accomodating, and will treat you like family. Try it out, you won't be sorry!

David M.

Really.....this should not be noted on Yelp as a "go to" brunch place in Atlanta, which was why decided to give it a try. Without question one of the bleakest meals I've had in some time. Ok, I get the charm of the patio and the basement of an old house and the irreverent host and all, but that can't save the food here...OMG. Some thing they called split pea and hamhock soup was about as natural as the bouillon and water based flavorless stock this consisted of, with not the slightest sign of a pig part anywhere near this promodial broth..There was nothing about this soup being made from scratch..trust me..ick! The mimosa glasses came to us looking like they had been reused without going through the dishwasher, evidenced that they were all poured at once some hour or more earlier by the way they stuck to the table and the room temp of the drink. And the sandwich was marginal and the fries cool. Maybe its a place that does the sweet stuff better then the savory, but I would choose wisely and that means choosing the many other stronger options for Brunch in Atlanta...go to Bluebird, La Tavola, Murphy's, Highland Bakery,..anything, but trust me on this...Wow!

Renee G.

As I write this review, my husband FORCES me to give it 5 stars. Just as well as he FORCES me to have breakfast here whenever we are in-town. I say this jokingly, of course. Its quite delicious. Almost went unnoticed. Tucked away behind the 805 Peachtree condo building, a little "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant. I initially BEGGED my husband to take me. He did, reluctantly. The service and owners were soooo friendly, but not to the point of intrusive, love it! And when the food came, I thought to myself "why didn't we share?!?!" I don't like egg white omletes and i don't like omletes, so I have NO IDEA why I even ordered an egg white omlete. Maybe I was trying to sabotage myself so that I hated the food because I was convinced I would never get my husband to go back?? Oh no! It back fired! I'm in love with egg white omletes now! Or is it egg white omletes AT BABS? Or is it just BABS? Oh hell, you get the point! Its awesome! And it is going to bankrupt me because I can't keep my husband away.... "oh, i'm just going to get a cup of coffee" which turns into a big, fat yummy breakfast that I can't resist eating it! And if he didn't bring enough for me? I have that divorce attorney on speed dial, baby! Who gets the rights to Babs? FInders, keepers!

This is quite a find! The food is scrumptious, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is both fabulous and laid back with several different seating options, an outdoor patio, an area with a sofa, and then tables for a typical restaurant flare. The sweet potato fries are simply the best you've ever put in your mouth!

lisa b.

Feels like you are entering a literal "hole in the wall," but as is true with many other places described this way, you will feel like you stumbled on a gem. The staff is super laid back and friendly (full of jokes actually), and the menu seems to always be offering something different and fresh. The blackened chicken sandwich is hands down THE BEST thing I have ever munched for lunch. Don't get me started on the sweet potato fries. Try to eat just one... Anyhow, I love this place. Free parking too.

John P.

There is nothing more I can ask for on a Sunday morning than a unique brunch, a bloody Mary, a friendly atmosphere, and a little bit of sass. I can find all of that at Bab's. Having patronized the joint 3 times in the last month, I have encountered 3 different menus and experienced 3 fantastic meals. Plus, Randy has the unique ability to humiliate you and make you feel incredibly comfortable in the same instant. He halts my normal rapier-like wit and leaves me laughing hysterically. I cannot speak highly enough about the food, service, and atmosphere at Bab's.

Kathleen K.

Friendly & accommodating staff. Food was phenomenal. Wish we'd known about this little gem (off the main "Peachtree" drag by just a block) from day one of our trip to Atlanta - we would have eaten there every day. Our waiter - Stephen King (no joke! - was super nice and super helpful. Also really like that they grown their own herbs,... - can't wait to see how the grapes on the new grapevines turn out!

Went to Bab's yesterday for a quick lunch with some coworkers. We had Scoutmob, and had never heard of Bab's, but boy were we in for a treat... We sat outside on the small patio area... wish the weather was a bit nicer, but the meal made up for it for sure. My two dining companions both had the chilled tomatoe soup and raved about it until their bowls were wiped clean. I had the Roast Beef wrap with Sweet Potato Fries.... WOW! It was AMAZING. PERFECTLY wrapped up, nice and tight... never came loose. Everything about it was super fresh and ridiculously good. Katie and Michelle both loved their meals as well, one being the Chicken and Brie Panini, the other a Chicken Salad of some sort, don't remember which one. The service and ambiance is great at this place... the guys don't try too hard... quite the opposite. They are VERY comfortable with everyone that comes in, and are more than happy to tell you all about their neighborhood, their regular customers, and their snow globe collection. Service isn't what I would call normal, but it goes perfectly with the place... it's a neighborhood cafe, nothing more, nothing less... the guys were SUPER friendly, and never wanted for anything at all. I will be returning many many times and have already sent three people there... what a great little discovery for a lunch on a whim!

This place is the polar opposite of artificial and stingy. Excellent food, excellent service. One of a kind.

We went there for brunch last Sunday. It was great food - had the Olympian breakfast and the spicy special with polenta. Great service as well. I love the fact that many of the herbs and veggies are home grown. We also walked away with jams, chow-chows and glaze. All look very yummy!

This was the worst brunch experience ever! We were first told that our wait was 20 minutes, but got seated 1 hour later, then waited an additional 30 minutes just to order. We tried to call ahead of time and make reservations, but no one answered or called us back after we left a message. To top it off, when we got there, we were scolded for not making reservations!! The place really wasn't that busy, I just don't think they were well staffed, or well prepared. Thankfully, the mimosas were so good that we were too tipsy to be too upset or complain at the time. THEN, our waiter proceeds to complain about other customers to us and express his annoyance for people with food allergies and that they should call ahead before arriving to order their food so that they don't inconvenience the wait staff!! The omelet we ordered was very good, the potatoes were awful and dry, and the side of fruit was one pineapple chunk. As far as the atmosphere goes, it was definitely a cozy thrift store chic kinda place that is just plain out dated and needs to get with the times. It felt dirty honestly. I should have checked the health code rating. I wish I could at least say the food was good enough for me to come back, but it wasn't.

The consierge at the Georgian Terrace suggested Babs for a late morning breakfast and it was a nice walk through a pretty neighborhood to get there. The specials were tempting so I had the Quiche Lorraine and my husband had the Cruncher Omelete. We both wanted to try the risotto and chicken hash specials so we asked for a "side" portion of each and the waitress happily brought us a small bowl. We split each and both were outstanding. When my Quiche was presented, I commented to the waiter that I must have gotten the last piece and he said yes and I was lucky to get it. It also tasted like the last piece as the crust was pulled away from the custard. My husband said his omelete was very good. The only toast that day was rye bread which I cannot eat because of the seeds. When I asked for an exchange, I was offered a bagel along with awful attitude by the server as if it was a HUGE inconvenience! Is it really necessary to act that way? Everyone else working there was happy, keeping our drinks full and dirty plates away. We would go there again and hope the server with the attitude is at home enjoying a day off!

This was an interesting place. Being from California, i wished i could have had a mimosa on a sunny Sunday morning... but since we are in Georgia that was not possible. But besides that, i really enjoyed Babs. Friendly and socialble staff, pleanty of parking, and good food!

A hidden gem! Thanks to the random "best brunch" search we did on Yelp, this 6th spot winner is the best in my mind (and locality!) This smallish place is right on Juniper, but they don't have a sign board on the street( cost big bucks to have one, said the owner). But I am not surpised that there are 90 reviews for this hidden gem. After all, I probably had the best omlette of my life here. Crunchy hash browns inside the omelette? Oh yeah. It tastes sooo good even with a congested upper body and a hangover. Tomatoes and cheese compliment the crunchiness and deliver the most perfect omlette. The panini I tried was equally fantastic. Great little spot to go back again and again with a friend or two.

Definitely local on the low down. The food is average, the service friendly and price is right. Great if your really hungry and need to eat now. Otherwise find a better venue with tastier treats.

Great neighborhood spot! I eat breakfast here probably three times per week. The staff is friendly and funny and the food is solid. They are open for breakfast and lunch and do a great job at both. Highly Recommended.

I ate here for breakfast early one sunny Sunday morning before going to an outdoor festival. It was a great meal that did not leave me hungry, perfect for a day of walking around outside in the summer sun. I ordered the French toast, one slice of bread, sliced into two triangles, 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, two big, crunchy, but not burnt, pieces of bacon and fruit. The fruit is what keeps me from giving Baba 5 stars. The fruit consisted of: one half of a strawberry, a half of an orange slice, a piece of melon. I would have liked 2 whole strawberries, a whole orange slice, and no melons. The French toast was my favorite, flavorful and cooked without being too soggy or burnt. The weather was great and so was the meal.

Your Yelp search should begin & end at Bab's. We were in from Chicago to check out Atlanta for a job relocation. We prefer to dine at locally owned restaurants that offer something a little different on their menus or ambiance. Bab's delivered on both accounts with a little help from Randy. Many other reviewers have commented on his "presence," and he delivered indeed. We were there on Saturday morning and while there were several tables occupied, it was no-wait around 10am. Had the Crispy Omelet and Sunday brunch at Bab's is definitely on our culinary bucket-list. See you SOON, Randy!

Loved it! We went for Sunday brunch and I got the the GBLT in honor of Pride Weekend. It came with the famous sweet potato fries. Amazing curry dipping sauce. Nice coffee too (great after a long night). Patio was wonderful. Randy was great. One of the girls I was with demanded having a picture with him. He knows he is fabulous. My husband got the stromboli special. Delish. Can't wait to go back!

Ginger S.

This place is really good. We've been here several times for breakfast. We like their juniper street breakfast, pastry puff, and omelets. Their breakfast potatoes are excellent as well. The omelets that we like are their special "different" omelet with chicken and their "special" omelet with salmon. On Sundays, they make fresh squeezed juices, which are SOO good. This morning, they had orange, apple, and ginger. The service is really great, very friendly, and personal. This is one of our favorite breakfast places!!

Bab's storefront and signage faces the wrong way on a one way street. A tricky move I'd like to use as a metaphor for my dining experience. Backwards logic. As our waiter Randy managed to berate us in a friendly and enjoyable manner, the coffee was lovingly refilled. As my future plans were mocked, I was served a delicious omelet. And as we paid our bill, he suggested that my fashionista friend's shirt was from Sears. I left hangover looming, but in a surprisingly good mood. I'm sure the attention would be adjusted accordingly, but we were all having fun and I feel like I have a new friend. I probably drove past two or three breakfast places that I love on my way, but I'll make a point of coming back. Just remember to keep your eyes on your rear view mirror.

By far the best place for brunch in Atlanta. Came here with my family before headed over to the High Museum for the Dali exhibit and I think the brunch overshadowed the art, no joke. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly and had a lot of insights to offer an ATL newbie like myself. I ordered the waffle, bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese and it was all absolutely phenomenal... probably better than mother's home cooked breakfast but I wouldn't say that in front of her (she enjoyed her brunch just as much, and loved the compliments that were being showered on her from the staff). The restaurant is a quaint and cozy little place and the menu is quite short... but all that means is everything on it must be fantastic. I will be frequenting Babs often, whenever I'm in midtown and need a good breakfast to shake a Saturday or Sunday afternoon hangover.

One of the great perks about living in midtown is being able to live within walking distance to the best dives around. Babs is literally 5 min away! I ventured into this teeny restaurant expecting amazing food after all the yelp reviews i read. i was soo not disappointed. the staff here are friendly and attentive. i ordered the corned beef hash special and my friend got the cruncher ( hashbrown inside an omelette. seriously? could it get any better?) our food came out 15 min after we ordered which was very impressive considering it was a sunday morning. also, one of the staff came by every table offering jalepeno chow chow and peach jam. these are a must when you visit! the jam was peachy and thick while the chow chow was not too spicy and it went great with the corned beef. too bad i couldn't finish it all. if only people had an extra stomach to consume all the world's deliciously goodness.

I'd like to visit this place again, but I really enjoyed my first visit. It's a tiny place, and the two men working there do everything from taking orders to making the food to taking payments at the register. My chicken parmesan panini was delicious (could have used a tad more sauce) and the soup was good, too. Overall, it seems like a great place for lunch.

Love this spot! Randy rocks (I wouldn't want to be on his bad side) and the food was incredible. Sitting in the garden area outside we felt like we were not in Atlanta. Loved the brunch, atmosphere, and everything about Babs. I'll be back!

as promised, my yelp review :) the staff is super nice and fast! & the food is amazing with really hearty portions (no dieting at this place!). you must try their sweet tea and their jalapeÃ±o poppers! the place is really cute, great lil breakfast/brunch date spot~ and to top it all off~ THEY HAVE A PARKING LOT! this is like gold to a nyc girl!

I love how secret this place is. It's past Avra and right under Veruca. Walk by too quickly and you'll pass it. We walked in for brunch and I felt like we discovered an undergound breakfast club. There was a group at the other end of the restaurant exploding with laughter..was totally gigglefest '96. I got an omelet with spinach and goat cheese that was scrumptious. The tuscan potatoes were yummy too, not overcooked like some places. Boy got the Juniper Street Wrap. They were good size portions and very good quality, very fresh. Service is excellent! The owner was totally hobnobbing with us. I'll def come again for lunch. They also have a few tables outside.

Babs is an amazing Atlanta must have. With all of our "reservation only" breakfast and lunch spots, Babs is a welcome change with its comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff....Randy is amazing......you must ALWAYS educate yourself on the specials before you order, that is if they don't describe them in full detail to you before you have even looked at the menu. On a normal day, they create incredible dishes that you would definitely not expect.....Also, the sweet potato fries are an absolute "center of the table" must. I have lived and worked in Atlanta for a long time. I am in constant search mode for the best places in each category. Babs takes the winner's circle for creativity, quality, and experience.

very hard to find. very cozy. very cute. very nice wait staff. not impressed with food. my lunch companion and i both were very underwhelmed by the food. i will return because the place is just that cozy and cute and the staff (owners?) are just that nice. now that i know how to find it, that takes some of the frustration level off too. i will try brunch next time. maybe lunch isn't as much their thing. not giving up on it. will be back. and will repost.

I have been trying to get to this place for over a year and for some reason it never ends up working out. Now that I have, I'll be visiting again and again and again. We went for Sunday brunch and I got the the Stromboli Special. Layers of French puff pastry, cream cheese, ham and fresh tomatoes. Holy Moly. Due to the dishes richness our server, Dale, recommended that we split it. Yes, the dish is rich, but you will NOT want to split it. Too delicious to share. Fantastic coffee and our water glasses were never below half empty. Randy is hilarious and gives Babs that "Cheers" feeling that makes you want to support any and everything he does. HIGHLY recommended.

Incredible experience for such a hard-to-find place. It's really the people in the place that make the place awesome, but the food was flawless and incredibly delicious, as well as being a great bang for the buck! I can't recommend this place enough =)

Meh, I paid $15 for a glorified grand slam. It's a cute place and on a Friday morning we were the only people there. Service was surprisingly slow! I just wasn't impressed. I'll stick with west egg or f'in biscuit.

Robert B.

Really great food. Really good service. Nice simple atmosphere. Biggest downfall is the size of the location and that the specials are verbally made. There are literally 6-7 special menu options. I wish they wrote them down or had a secondary menu made with the specials on it. It was just too much info to take in to make a legitimate choice. Even though there are a lot of options have no fear because all of them are great. Enjoy the service atmosphere and food.

Loved this place. We walked from our hotel (Renaissance Midtown) and we are so glad we did. It's a cute little place in a cute little neighborhood with seriously delicious food. I had a grouper cake with eggs over easy and a side of arugula with lime vinaigrette. Oh my god. So good. My partner had a crunch omelet, which was equally delicious. Best breakfast potatoes ever, and both entrees were served with delicious fresh fruit. Also, my blood Orange mimosa was delightful and very large. The service was so good. Randy, the owner and chef, took great care of us and was super friendly. His staff was excellent and efficient, and we liked eavesdropping on their playful banter. I wish we lived here so we could come in every weekend. Thanks for a fabulous experience, even when we were super hungover.

Damn good food followed with awesome service! Our breakfast Stromboli came out super fast and was absolutely delicious! It was layered with eggs tomatoes and spinach. The pastry was buttery and light, slightly crunchy. I will definitely be back. Only thing I'm sad about is this is the first time I've been here. Why didn't I come sooner???

Had lots of really good reviews so we came... They were out of the few things we wanted to try and the saki Bloody Mary was not good. Had the meatloaf panini and was awful. Service was friendly but super slow even tho they weren't that busy it was after the Saturday brunch rush around 2. Won't be back babs was bad.

Do not understand all if the great reviews for this place. Our orders were delivered incorrectly twice and the crab omelet that I had was terrible, it tasted like canned grey crab. Do not recommend

Ashton C.

I'd like to give this place at least 4 stars but in all honesty, the great food doesn't outshine the unfortunate demeanor of the owner Randy. Upon sitting down he aggressively pushed the drink of the day on us. No greeting? No personality? No thank you, Randy. I ended up with a sake Mary, a tasty twist on the brunch classic. Thumbs up. Our request for water was all but ignored until my boyfriend flagged down a busser. We ordered, our food arrived very quickly. Great portion size. Appealing plating. We ordered a cowboy and crunch omelette. The food was great. No complaints there. The uncomfortable part of this meal was listening to Randy greet some patrons with glee and others with disregard. To top it off, he spouted so less than savory things about a group of college kids that left after sitting down to review the menu. "When I see a group like that I know they just want chicken and pancakes" Being as a group of J Crew clad twenty something's had just left that very same table I don't know of this was an age-ism situation. Really uncomfortable stuff for out of towners like us just trying to get our brunch on. While I understand the frustration of patrons deciding to leave after already being greeted and sat, don't show it to your other guests. And certainly don't imply such reasoning, Randy. If in the area again, I'd pass this place up. I'd rather give my money to another small business. It's a shame though, that omelette was awesome.

I just can't say enough about this place! The food is stellar ans the service is stellar! If you haven't been here yet, just go! We had the crabmeat omelet with smoked salmon, fresh fruit, bagel omelet, turkey sausage, for $35!

Rebecca O.

I really like this place. It's a good down home, well priced, brunch or breakfast place. The food is pretty good and portion sizes are large. The service is very friendly; with the decor and service, you almost feel like you're in someone's home. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because the food doesn't quite knock it out of the park with flavor. However, I would definitely recommend it to anyone look for a good affordable breakfast in the area! There is a complimentary parking lot for those visiting Babs. It says there's a fee, but if you read closely, below it is says it's complimentary 2 hour parking for those visiting that bank of restaurants. Babs shares a parking lot with Takorea.

RESERVATIONS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!! We were the only party waiting and we waited about an hour for a party of 4. At least we had Blood Orange Mimosas to keep us company. The vibe is wonderful and the staff is super friendly. Very personable. It took a while for the tables to be bussed, but the servers were working very hard to do it all. Put in an order of their 2 best dishes, the Shrimp Cakes and the Moroccan Stew. The portions are enough to share and the food is excellent!!! We asked to split the dish and they were nice enough to do it for us!! A solid 4 1/2-5 star establishment, but gave them 4 only because of the wait time to get seated and the wait time to get our order in.

We stumbled into Babs one Saturday morning. My boyfriend was tired of trying to find parking and just parked at the first location he could find and told me find the closest food place (he was getting "hangry"). Boy, were we lucky! This place was a great find. It's a small cafÃ©/brunch place with outdoor seating. You would miss it in a blink of eye while driving. There is parking lot right next to it so you can park for free. Ignore the sign that said you have to pay. Patrons of Babs do not. (Good to know for next time). They have a set menu, but another menu that changes daily. Order from the menu that changes daily. I had a pimento cheese with Andouille sausage hash with 2 over easy eggs on top with a creole sauce. Absolutely delicious! It came with a side of arugula salad in a lemon vinaigrette, 2 whole grain toast, and fruit, a very balance meal. You can taste the freshness of the food. Everything was made in house and you can see the care they took to come up with each dish. My boyfriend had a Moroccan Stew with 2 over easy eggs on top. The second it came out, you can smell the aroma. I tried it and it was so succulent! The stew was cooked for several hours with an array of spices. It came with naan and fruit, again a balance meal. The wait staff might be a little confused (2 wait staff asked for our order without know the other asked already), but it cause they were super busy and wanted to make sure we are taken care of. They were attentive and made sure we had everything (double check I guess since it was 2 wait staffs). One of the waiters, I think, was the manger/owner. He describe in great detail of each special and what it took to make it (hinting he helped). They do serve bloody marys and mimosas. We did not partake, but next time!

Impeccable service: refilling coffee and water without you asking. Awesome food: three different breakfast specials as well as HUGE high quality omelet. I got the Bab's Omelet, and my boyfriend got the Crunchy Omelet. Both were delicious and came with fruit, toast and savory roasted potatoes.

Alex C.

I was surprised to find a place this cheap, and this delicious in Midtown. Generally stuff is overpriced, or just isn't good. Well definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. The sandwiches are pretty good, but breakfast seems to be where it's at.

Joe V.

Fast table service and knowledgeable wait staff. The descriptions were so precise I wanted to marry some of these dishes before meeting them ! My first time here I had the Moroccan Holiday- a delicious twist on a creole stew with medium eggs and naan bread - yum. Only suggestion - loud person behind counter reading an email of negative origin loud enough to hear in the dining area. Drama should remain at home - not as a side dish Babs/ still love you!

Kenny C.

First, there is parking. Nice. Second, my sweet tea came with a "back up" (pictured). Love it. Everything else: the omelette was fine and the rest of the food was fine. Nothing blew my mind. It was kinda weird in there. Lots of weird nick naks and dust on the shades.

One thing I really like about catching up with friends who live in other neighborhoods, other than the catching up part, is trying new restaurants that I would not have traveled to try in first place. I mean who has time to travel all the time to just eat, right? Babs has been one such place, I have bookmarked it long ago, to try but never had a chance to visit. Until I visited couple of friends, who lives closer to Babs, for brunch/lunch. It's bit hard to locate, given the restaurant is on the other side of a house when you are driving on Juniper. you will first see parking Signs for Babs but once you enter the parking lot you will see the restaurant. The restaurant is also close to Takorea. The place gives the feeling of being in your grandma's basement, tiny and just functional. And that's not necessarily bad thing, but it could be. The space is cramped and there are only handful of tables, so even if there are not too many people, there could be wait times. In fact, when we went there, we had to wait for 20 mins. But that's expected at any restaurant for weekend brunch. It's good for casual brunch with friends but not more than party of 4. You are not going to impress your date with this place. The menu is small and a bit limited. But it does cover range of dishes like Soups, Salads, Paninis, wraps, sandwich, omelettes, bagels and beverages. And also we were told that Sunday brunch menu changes periodically. I have ordered Grilled chicken & Brie panini with the side of southern potato salad. The size of the panini was neither big nor small, perfect for the brunch. And the brie and chicken works surprisingly well! I just wished there was more Aoili or some sauce in it. The southern potato salad was creamy and sinfully good. I had hard time deciding between that and sweet potato fries(I love both) but I glad I chose potato salad! My friends ordered Vegetable montage wrap and they agreed it was good. They especially loved the turmeric/mustard based sauce that comes with sweet potato fries. The staff were generally friendly but when all tables are full, you may have to call them if you need water refills. I like Babs and I will visit again if I am in the neighborhood. 4 stars

Sebastian M.

This place was superb. We ordered the blood orange mimosa and the sake bloody mary. Both were delicioua. My wife doesn't like sake but she loves bloody Mary's and she loved this. The mix is really good. It's cool because they bring you a small carafe or sake and mix and you mix it yourself. A lot of the menu items sounded good but once we heard the specials, we changed our plans. I got the shrimp cake topped with eggs. My wife got the pimento and sausage hash. Both were really good. I definitely can see us coming back. I also liked that they are dog friendly. We bought our dog on a Saturday morning before walking to the piedmont park dog park. It was perfect. The only thing I would say that they could improve on is the inside is a little small for me. But in the spring and summer that's no big deal because they have good outside seating. We will be back

Summary: Must-try brunch in midtown. Everything here is awesome! Highlight: Crab omelette and the dipping sauces. Babs is an amazing place! This is one of Chef Justin White's favorite places and he introduced it to me. Randy Adler (the executive chef here) is a super fun, awesome guy. If you get to meet him, I would definitely recommend it. This place is small, but don't let that fool you in how much amazing flavor is in the food. From the iced coffee beginning to the dessert finish, all the details of the meal are impeccable. The coffee tastes awesome, even iced. We got the jalapeno poppers and sweet potato fries. AMAZING! The sauce that the sweet potato fries comes with is a must-try. Same with the jalapeno-poppers. Both have a little spicy tangy twist. Chef Justin White got a crab omelette and I got a crab wrap with wasabi sauce. I liked Justin's omelette better, but my wrap was amazing also! That was the first time I got crab that is not in sushi. I liked it a lot. I also got to try his jalapeno honey (amazing) and tomato jam which were fresh tomatoes (awesome!) The chefs here have showed me what GREAT sauces taste like. This forever changes my palate :) You'll probably be too full, but if able to: try their black and white cookie also. It's new-york style and tastes like a cake cookie :)

It's one of those Saturday mornings and you feel too lazy to make your own breakfast. Perhaps you are still dealing with a hangover from partying on Friday night and need a meal full of bacon to soak up all the toxins. You don't want anything crazy, just a normal breakfast. This is probably your spot. The turkey wrap was delicious and the ambiance was very quaint. The patio is great and despite being small, does not seem crowded. Do not go here in expectation of creative cuisine, this is your standard American breakfast, but executed very well and priced very well (most items are under $10). A minor annoyance was sitting us down at a table that wasn't fully wiped down. Even after the waiter came to wipe it down, I had to finish their job with a napkin as they did it very carelessly. Overall, I'd come here again. It's nothing mind blowing to go out of your way for, but a very nice breakfast. The wait was about 15 min at 11am on a Saturday. I can also imagine it being a good place to get some to go food.

Really easy to get to in Midtown with ample parking (lot). Really cute/old school decorations and plenty of 2 top seating. Great service and the food came out very quickly. Delicious fresh ingredients from the garden and the omlette/potatoes was really good. The ceilings are quite low and seating isn't the most comfortable, but overall it was a good breakfast.

My partner & I visited this place while on vacation. What a treat to find this gem! The menu is small & diverse. The service is superb. The decor is so quaint & eclectic. Delicious food & coffee. In fact, the coffee is so good we bought a bag to take back to Seattle. Yum!

Lisa Y.

We came through for brunch on a Sunday morning, and had roughly a 30 minute wait. We were able to seat in the waiting area with some coffee until our table was ready. It is a very small restaurant and the wait, I image, could get pretty long depending on how many are in your group and the time that you come. Once we got our table, we ordered relatively right away. We all got the : The Olympian Salmon Cakes Greek Omelette and another item I cannot remember :/ The food came out extremely quickly so we were pretty content since most of us were starving by this point in the day. The salmon cakes were something we were all interested in and after trying it, it was hard to tell that it was salmon because it strongly reminded me of tuna. Meh. The Olympian was recommended by our server and I was not very fond of the meal. It presented itself to look like a dessert item, but is sort of like their version of an Eggs Benedict I would assume, without any eggs.. lol. Overall, the total experience was A-Ok. My friends seemed to be really fond of this place, but I wouldn't deem this my go-to brunch spot. But overall, still a pretty cool experience.

I'm a little on this review. We went 2 days in a row for brunch in May while we were visiting Atlanta. The food was good. I had a plate that had crab cakes with with eggs. I don't remember the name. I was impressed with the services from the waiter. They were always in a hurry. It wasn't a deal breaker & I would definitely go back on my next visit to Atalanta.

Janeka H.

Very limited food selection for the non-egg-eaters. Besides hash brown, bacon and toast.... Their menu mostly consisted of eggs. And I'm sure that if you love eggs, then this is the perfect place. So, needless to say that I was disappointed and the restaurant is so small that you can't help but to hear everyone's conversation. In fact, my waiter went over specials between my table and the table next to mines. It only made sense with the tables being so close together. Sorry to say this, but I won't be back here.

I would have walked right by this place had it not been for Yelp. Plain on the outside, treasure trove of tastiness on the inside, Babs invented farm-to-table long before it came into vogue. My ratatouille was made with fresh-from-the-garden vegetables and tasted as such. My husband's delectable chicken and Brie panini came with a mind-blowing tomato basil dressing that had more flavor per ounce than should be culinarily possible. The service was friendly and made us feel like their favorite customers. Go experience this gem for yourself!

Allie S.

This is one of my favorite brunch spots in Midtown. It's always busy, but I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table, and I'm often seated right away. Service is always very speedy -- from taking orders to food on the table has never taken longer than 10 minutes, and I've been there at some very busy periods. Omelettes are big and fluffy and full of flavor. Most breakfast entrees are served with toast, potatoes, and fruit to make a complete meal. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Be sure to try their risotto -- it is fantastic. Hearty portions and big flavors are what you will find at Babs. The dining room is fairly small and busy, but the atmosphere is fun and buzzing with energy. There is a good amount of patio seating and it's a bit quieter outside. Fun place to eat!

I like the atmosphere, the culture and the ambiance here. It's perfect for a date, girls brunch or just a quick morning bite. They clearly do not serve hard liquor but that doens't stop them from offering great options. My date got the Sake Bloody Mary (comes with the Sake Bottle and the Bloody Juice tumbler separate so you build your own). He said it was OK but he really loves his Vodka. So, if you're a vodka lover you might be disappointed but it's worth a try if you're a plain old Bloody Mary fan. I got the Blood Orange Mimosa (already prepared for you) and it was awesome. The breakfast is about $10 per plate, the drinks are about $9 per drink. It's your average breakfast, lunch,brunch spot without the crazy Atlanta prices. I got the spinach, goat cheese and mushroom omelet. It came with home fries potatoes and fruit. The omelet was just right, nice and fluffy. The fruit was fruit and the potatoes where nice and crispy, just the way I like em. My date got the build your own omelet: spinach, goat cheese and turkey sausage. It also comes with potatoes and fruit. The sausage is amazing and he ate every last bit of the omelet. For dessert I got some sort of Bavarian fruit cake that they had sitting on the stand. How could I resist? They poured a berry sauce on top which was the perfect ooey, goey topping. It was $3.25 and good to the last bite. Last but not least, be prepared for good old dry humor here. The gentlemen who must own this establishment have a very colorful sense of humor that makes this place extra special. You will catch them telling the waitress she forgot something since she must have showed up to work high, or when someone asks where the bathroom is and they respond by asking if they've paid yet. Yup, don't take offense, order a drink instead and enjoy the ride. Also, the parking right beside the place is free if you eat there. Don't get discouraged if you don't see parking, the staff will direct you to double park behind them.

Sometimes your neighborhood joint is the best answer. New Year's Day is a tough time to go out to eat, because everyone is beat from a nutty celebration (in my case, pizza-party hosting). Those of us who were over-served the night before need a restaurant, not a stove, for brunch-stuffs. But Randy and the gang at Babs handled our party of five on short notice with ease given how crazy-busy the restaurant was. More than that, though: the food was excellent. Everything, from beginning to end, was stellar. I had a special omelette with potatoes and fruit, which was hot, fresh and delicious. All of my other co-diners were impressed and happy as well. We walked from the house, which means so emissions were needed to get there. Ozone, spared. You won't be disappointed by Babs' down-home, around-the-corner midtown vibe. I'm proud to say that I introduced a friend to Babs for the first time on this visit--and this guy is an Atlanta native. So, yeah, I did my duty. If you're a first-timer, too, go to Babs. You'll end up a return customer.

Food is disgusting, service is Rude, brusk, and rushed. Food is nasty with soggy French toast, soggy toast/bread, greasy scrambled eggs, rubbery over medium and soft bacon. Phallic kitschy decor. Overall just GROSS. Had high hopes but disappointed.

Went here for brunch with my sister on new years day! This is my second time here and I gotta say I love this little place. It's small but cozy and the staff makes you feel at home. I recommend the cowboy breakfast if they have it. Who wouldn't want a fried egg with pulled pork on top of cheesy jalapeÃ±o cornbread! It was soon yummy. They always have cool specials and tasty omelets on their menu. My only recommendation would be to get there early so you can get a seat and get ahead of the brunch crowd. I think this is a great place to stop and definitely a hidden little gem in the center of downtown. This is a small place with a lot of character so for those who wanted fast service and to be seated quickly this just isn't a chain restaurant. It's a cozy little place where you can chill. Not be rushed and enjoy the food, some drinks or even a cup of tea. I think most people of any age would fit into this environment except small kids.

Nice patio, nice inside....seemed comfortable.....however, the man running the front kept telling me to sit down and that he would be right with me. That's fine....but I was just looking at the pastries & teas at the register. I was just looking around, and he kept asking me to be seated. Just acting irritated & politely rude. Service was just not very friendly or genuine. If you can't be friendly to customers, don't work the front of the house on a Saturday morning. And the food wasn't that great. My husband who will normally eat anything, left more than half of his eggs. A place that cannot get scrambled eggs right? I've had a better meal in a truck stop. Double espresso was too long of a pour & over extracted. Looked like regular coffee instead of espresso. Food quality was just blah.....sad, because it's a cute little place.

I came here for bloody marys with my mom one Sunday afternoon and was really unimpressed. The bloody mary's were fine (made with sake), but it's always a little disappointing to pay $10 or $11 to watch someone pour a bottled mix into a glass and walk it over to you. I could buy a bottle of the same mix for that price and drink it on my couch. Anyway, my beef was really with the service and restaurant atmosphere. I kept getting the weird feeling that all the customers and staff knew each other and there was some sort of inside joke happening. We were there before they closed and instead of waiting for us to finish our drinks (no food), they asked us to move our things to a wicker couch by the bathrooms so they could mop the floor. It was very strange, and kind of off-putting. The end result was me chugging my bloody mary to get the hell out of the place so the staff would stop making me feel like I should leave. Also, it was a hot summer day and their AC was not cooling the small joint. I will not return.

[TL;DR] A good place for brunch. Read the signs carefully. Don't miss the free parking. I never did figure out why the place is called Babs, probably because I failed to ask. Of course, had I, I would have received some lip service from the owner, I'm sure -- a comical character whose direct approach and dry humor might be lost on the southern hospitality type. Nice people though. Gave me a bag of ice to help ice down a friend's swollen ankle. I was pleasantly surprised that Saturday, high-noon, didn't mean a 45 minute wait. In fact, we were seated right away -- in the patio, no less. Service was friendly and frequent with a rotation of folks swarming around making sure you were okay, your water was filled, your coffee was topped off, etc. I went with a crunch omelette, which is basically a ham and tomato omelette with tater tots in it. YEAH! How do you go wrong? It was tasty, overall, after dropping hot sauce on it. I think I'd go with something different for the side (potatoes) next time as they were a bit underwhelming with their spice and flavor.

HOLY SWEET POTATO FRIES. Okay but seriously, the sweet potato fries are that good. I'm not as big of a fan of the curry sauce that it comes with, but I'm not the biggest fan of sauce in general, so I might actually be the weird one. The sweet potato fries look kind of charred when they come out, almost unappetizing. But they are SO good. I mean, quite possibly my favorite sweet potato fries and I try not to throw that term around too lightly. I came here on a Sunday for brunch and I really like how the menu is themed each week with a couple of specials that aren't on the menu. Once the specials are sold out, they're just out. My friend managed to snag the last pesto chicken salad sandwich. I would have really liked it except that there were about 15 green onions in every bite and I am not the biggest fan of green onions. I ended up getting an omelet with heirloom tomatoes, chicken, spinach, avocado, and brie. The avocado and brie were so creamy together, it was great. I guess I don't really know what heirloom tomatoes are though because they didn't taste any different from regular tomatoes. The place itself is a little cramped though, so be ready to get friendly with your neighbors. However, I would definitely make this a frequent brunch spot given the really good food, and kind wait staff.

Excellent food and friendly service. We got suckered in to 70$ bill at breakfast but that was mostly our fault for ordering bloody Mary's and such haha. I would recommend it but I probably won't be back, one and done kind of thing for me.

I love Babs. Came here for the first time before I moved to Atlanta, right before Halloween, and was impressed by the attentiveness of the server/owner. The guys clearly care about their customer and their product - just try not to drool while they describe the specials (operative word here is TRY). Food is just as fantastic as when they describe it. Some really unique takes on brunch foods, too. Pro Tip: If you're going to brunch on a Sunday afternoon...make a reservation or expect to wait. This isn't as much a pro tip as it is just common sense...which I guess I forgot when we went. Luckily, the server/owner/host/everything made sure we were looked after while we waited for a table. Coffee was offered and brought SWIFTLY, with cream and sugar. And refills. God I love these guys. Couldn't even tell that the wait for our table was nearly an hour. If you love brunch, food, coffee, great service, etc, you have to try Babs.

Don't get me wrong - the service was outstanding - very clean and the place is decorated really cute, with an eclectic style. I was impressed with the little cute joint. The server was polite and have us the specials. But the main reason we had chosen this spot was because of the reviews and I got to say I don't know what these people were eating - because the food was no were near the 4 and 5 stars- But here's my experience: I ordered a coffee and breakfast wrap that had eggs onions cheese turkey sausage. He ordered an orange juice and crab omelette with turkey sausage on the side accompanied with a side of breakfast potatoes. The coffee was good. They give you a huge cup with cream on the side. I liked that. But the breakfast wrap with egg, turkey sausage,onions, tomato and cheese just did not hit the spot. The food was hot when it came out, but it just tasted awful. Now I'm a breakfast eater, and this just did not taste good. The eggs had a strange taste to them as the turkey sausage tasted gross maybe an old taste. The wrap could have used more onions and just more vegetables. The crab meat omelet with cheese and tomatoes, a side of turkey sausage and breakfast potatoes. Toast too. The first thing about this plate was the toast. The toast was extremely overdone crispy hard. Uneatable. The crab omelet looked good but tasted like a buttery accident- the crab meat was shredded and had a extreme buttery taste that over powered any tasted of crab or egg from the omelette. There was few tomatoes too be seen in the omelette - also the breakfast potatoes were well seasoned but also hard and over fried. The turkey sausage had that old package left open taste from the refrigerator. I give this 2 stars because food is a really big thing - but service was awesome - We did not inform the server or anything I think our left overs left on the plates told the story.

Found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out. Walked in and was told to find a seat, the table wasn't cleaned yet, so we sat down and the waitress cleaned it for us a few mins later. The menu is small, but everything sounded good. Breakfast: Juniper Street Wrap (no turkey): I like that it was grilled and it tasted better this way, although it need some type of sauce with it. The cheese definitely helped give it some flavor. I got potatoes and fruit...not enough in my opinion, I was assuming that I would get more than 2 slices of fruit (literally) and much more than 6 pieces of potatoes. The large pretty plate looked too empty. It's a very small restaurant, tables are really close to each other and even if you whisper the other customers can still hear your conversation clearly. Parking is hard to find as the parking lot where the restaurant is was filled up, but there's a large parking lot next door which costs about $5.

I visited this spot for brunch with a friend. The service here is a mixed bag. It seemed like there was DIY expectation for you to choose your own table, grab your menu and even clean the table, if it is dirty. However, the servers are very friendly. Be sure to ask for the specials because the menu is quite basic but the chef-server explained several off-the-menu daily specials that would have been terrible to miss. I got the Morrocan beef stew special - it was pleasant combo of spices and heat. Feel free to ask for more naan (bread) if you run out. The interior decor is quite quirky - so many themes. The crowd were of a mixed age group and dressing.

I live very close to Babs and have been meaning to try it for ages now. Sadly, I was disappointed. The service was EXCELLENT. Incredibly nice and personable staff. They clearly knew their regulars, but were still friendly and ultra-courteous with newbies like myself. But the food was only so-so. The menu was quite small, and I honestly had a hard time finding anything that sounded particularly good. I finally decided on the panini of the day, which was some sort of chicken salad panini. It was about $8, and it was nothing special. The cheese was from-the-bag shredded cheddar, the chicken salad was pretty stock (good, but nothing I couldn't get elsewhere), and if the sandwich had been put in a panini press at all, it was only for a few seconds-- the bread wasn't even warm, much less toasted. This was served with a slice of cantaloupe, watermelon, and orange. The watermelon had gone soft/mealy, and the orange was so dry that it actually looked like it'd been intentionally dehydrated. Overall, I'm disappointed to say Babs wasn't really worth the endeavor. To be honest, I'm floored that the place has such a high star rating on Yelp!

Food portions are great but the service is slow. I like to be seated right away when I get to a restaurant but I think they may be short staffed. Don't go there if you are in a hurry or want fast service. Food is great.

Sit under the shade... the patio is a tad bit small but the food was tasty. I decided to go for brunch and had the breakfast. it was a hot morning...very hot so I ended up shifting over to a seat in the shade. the waitstaff is VERY friendly, they switch up and EVERYbody takes care of all customers which is kind of cool! A very people-person environment. The inside is kind of dark but it should be nice. I just like sitting outside. I recommend it! :-)

I loved the food and the location because of its secluded feel. The service was fast and the food flew out of the kitchen. I planned to sit and work a little, but no can do because they were getting so busy. I was asked to move to the lounge which was packed with waiting guests. Needless to say I decided to pay and leave. Check it out!

This place rocks! Gotta give it up to the lil' Yelp app for sending me here, bc in no way would I have found Babs without it. After a short stroll from my hotel, I walked into Babs and was a little surprised. Instead of a diner-y, griddle in front spot, it was a small sit down spot with maybe 10 tables (guesstimate). While the breakfast menu is small, the specials double the offerings and they all sounded amazing. I rocked a breakfast burrito with kale and some other stuffings and my bud got a some sort of quinoa, with eggs and Israeli salad on top. Both were absolutely devoured. We planned on coming the next day for breakfast again and ordering the crunch omelet (stuffed with tots) but never made it (wedding hangover). Too bad bc I would've loved rd 2 here. Def go for bfast or lunch if you're in the area!

Brenna S.

I dream of Sunday mornings at Babs all week, and after one visit here, I think you'll know why. There's something special about a place that doesn't really have a menu. I mean they "do" but you wont need it. Everything there is good and the menu is always changing a bit. Get whatever your waiter or waitress recommends because they're awesome and know what they're talking about. The flavors from the food you will eat are going to make you feel like you have a village of happy fairies dancing in your mouth (trust me, that's a good thing). The menu items here tend to have a sort of cajun flair to it, and being from New Orleans I love that about it. Don't take that to mean spicy, though, just that they know how to make flavors work. It's places like this that really drive home the harsh reality of me not being a good cook, but that's ok, because I always know where I can go to get some brunch that soothes the soul. My only gripe might be how long it takes to check out, but who cares? I just ate like a freaking god.

A beautiful restaurant. We sat outside at noon on a Wednesday, right next to the fountain and flowers. The service was incredible, our coffee cups never got below half empty and our food came out very quickly. The server answered all our questions about the history of the restaurant and informed us that they privately source their coffee and they use as much from their own garden as possible. We ordered the bagel and lox and shakshuka special. The lox they smoke themselves so it's a unique taste but delicious. The shakshuka was perfectly seasoned, spicy but not over salted. Already planning to return before we leave atlanta.

Sadly, I was disappointed in this place to the point of writing a review. I was happy that it was within walking distance and looked forward to trying it last weekend. Met two friends who I hadn't seen in a while and we weren't treated very well. Waiter was fine, but whoever was in charge, either the mgr or owner was quite rude. From the moment we arrived, he appeared annoyed that we were there and made several comments that were borderline derogatory. Not the way to win new customers. Food was good - and none of us minded the limited menu. But the service and uncomfortable atmosphere was a complete turn off. We won't be back.

Lee H.

So the food was good and well priced, but I probably won't ever go back because of how unsanitary everything was. I am sure what happened to me was a freak accident, which is why I still gave it 3 stars. But basically, after drinking my coffee for a few sips I realized there were two boogers connected by a nose hair on the rim of the mug. (Thankfully not where I was drinking) They weren't mine, and it was pretty gross. If not for that, I would have really liked the place

Babs is a really different sort of restaurant and I love it. Brenna S. and I wandered over on a recent Sunday morning to find a delightful little patio tucked away in the middle of midtown. I have to admit that I have driven past this location probably 100 times and have never noticed Babs. The weather was perfect so we sat outside. Inside is pretty tiny, but in a cozy and inviting sort of way. The atmosphere is like an awesome neighborhood gathering place where everyone is related and you are immediately invited into the family. The waitress was adorable. She sat down with us and told us all about the menu. The way it works at Babs is you go in with an open mind because the menu is always changing (at least for brunch). It seems like basically whatever the chef wants to make that day he makes. Apparently sometimes there is a theme of the day and sometimes it's just random. Personally, I like this style. It's kind of like going to someone's house and saying cook me something delicious and BAM they make exactly what you want and you love it. The delightful little lady told us all about the dishes of the day. Of what I can remember, they had a breakfast crab risotto, a cruncher omelette with ham, tomatoes, hash browns and bacon, black eye pea cakes topped with eggs, a bagel dish, soup, a breakfast Stromboli and two or three more. Though the menu was fairly limited, they did have at least two vegetarian options and I'm sure they would be flexible about tweaking other dishes to make them vegetarian. Everything sounded amazing, but I went with the Stromboli and it was outrageously good. It was a perfectly flaky pastry dough filled with ham, tomatoes, bacon and egg topped with a hollandaise(ish) sauce. It was served with fruit, sourdough toast and potatoes for $13. Babs is a place I can't wait to get back to. I love going somewhere and having no idea what I'm going to get. If you are a picky eater, you may want to call in advance, but the food was all amazing so you should just toss caution to the wind and give it a go!

I am so disappointed by this place. We went here because of the rave reviews by my fellow Yelpers. Free parking! Score! The decor of the restaurant is rustic and hipster-ish. The coffee is really good. I had the veggie egg white omelet with goat cheese, mushrooms, and spinach. My fiance had the same thing except it wasn't egg white. It came with roasted potatoes and toast. While I loved the potatoes, I didn't care for the omelet. It didn't really have any taste! My fiance was practically drowning it in hot sauce so he could eat it. Besides that, the omelet was nice and fluffy and the portions were huge. Service was a kind of slow as well and it wasn't even a busy day. All in all, I wouldn't come back.

Came with my wife and 4 kids. Asked around the table and everyone loved what they got! When I asked my 4yr old what he thought on a scale of 1-5 he said 100!! It's awesome food and some of the best coffee in the city!! The staff is great, very kind and fun to talk with. Heck I even enjoyed walking to the bathroom, it's just a neat place. Prob not the best place to bring kids because of the size of the building but the staff took very good care of my kids and had kid friendly drinking cups and plates

Mohammad M.

First, I have to say that we didn't eat here so I'm rating purely on customer service. We were a party of 10 from out of town trying to have brunch on a Sunday, so it was nearly impossible. I called ahead and Bab's was kind enough to reserve a table for us. We got there as soon as we could and our table was ready. Once we got there we realized that half of our party couldn't eat there due to dietary restrictions (should've checked the menu before!). Despite holding that table for 10 open for us for over an hour and then we didn't even eat there, they were still so nice and weren't upset at all. The food from what I can tell looked amazing and I will definitely be back (with a smaller group that can eat the food here). But they definitely value their customer here and that's something I always value so 5 stars all around!

Dorothy W.

the employees are so sweet and the food is great! got the special: sausage pimento pepper hash with eggs on top, toast, and fruit. All for about $10. Plus the food came out in under 10 minutes and the owner offered to buy me a drink when I told him I was visiting from out of town. I mean... can it get any better?

Shelly G.

Came here for brunch and was seated immediately--at noon on a Sunday, which is amazing! The menu is small but everything looked good. I got the daily special, which was two eggs sunny side up with farro with oyster mushrooms and pickled carrots, toasted pita bread, and two pieces of fruit on the side. It was an interesting combo but delicious. My friend got the traditional breakfast, eggs with your choice of cheese, crispy bacon (not that soggy crap), toast, and fruit. Service was great, food was delish. Overall a great experience!

Cozy and outstanding food. Service was excellent - very friendly, made us feel as if we were part of the family. All the dishes seemed to be of healthier ingredients, which is great. Definitely worth repeating. Not a lot of seating and seemed to be best for parties of two to four.

Gerald E.

Tucked away on the side of a building is a small quaint restaurant called Babs. Now Babs is a quiet fellow with just enough pop to water your tastebubs. The service was good, however, this was an off day for them as they made several mistakes like bringing me the wrong drink. They corrected the mistake by making the drink on the house and even bringing my friend a drink. Great way to correct the mistake. They made us feel welcomed. The food was good. Parking is reserved. Location is superb being on a main street but you still may have to look for it, or just GPS it. Give it the ol Sunday Brunch try. You will enjoy it.

While my trip to The ATL was largely successful (thanks Niners!), I left Atlanta without completing one major task - getting some legit chicken and waffles. Or grits, for that matter. Sure, I might have been saved from a non-breakfast of champions, but that's not the point! I mean, what do you think gyms are for? Just a few blocks from our hotel, we headed over to Babs to grab brunch before heading off to catch the Niners-Falcons game. The place isn't large, but it's a cute little joint. Whether seated outside or in, it certainly didn't feel like we were sitting and eating in the middle of what felt like a mostly busy and lively area. After scanning through the menu, I decided to go with the BIRD'S NEST special that our server had rattled off. Although it sounded like a TON of food (potato hash with sweet potatoes, parsnips, pastrami, and asiago cheese with a spring salad, two over easy eggs, and toast), it really wasn't that bad. Or I was just that hungry... Despite the long laundry list of components though, the dish didn't come off as very exciting for me. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the pieces of pastrami were okay, but I couldn't taste much of it or anything else in the hash besides the potatoes. Not that it was a huge problem since it still tasted okay, but perhaps a bit more cheese and/or pastrami would have helped make it stand out. Even though I wasn't as impressed with Babs as other Yelpers, I really feel like it was because of my particular dish and not their food on the whole. Seeing what other tables had, and reading some of their reviews, I can't help but feel like getting something else would have made this review quite different. Not bad all in all, especially considering we were confined to the area around our hotel. I still wished we had tried some legit fried chicken and waffles though...

Thanks to the 2 hour wait at West Egg that I refused to put my name down for, I discovered Babs on Yelp. I went on Sunday for brunch around 1pm and I'm glad I did!! They did not have free designated parking, so my friend and I parked on the street. The place is small, but usually the mom and pop type places like this are the best! We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated and everyone helping us was extremely nice. I ordered their crab omelette, which was huge and delicious...just the right amount of crab meat. It was served with potatoes. My friend ordered the risotto, which was also tasty. My huge blood orange mimosa was the best!!! I'm awful with names, so I don't remember the the names of everyone who helped us, but they topped our first visit off with a coconut and banana creme slice of cake on the house. I don't like coconut...but this cake...delicious! Moist, not too sweet, and full of flavor. I will definitely be taking my husband here. Great people, great drinks, great food...what more can you ask for?

Love this place. When I stay in Midtown, I try and come here for breakfast. The guys working do a great job--usually there is one server and one cook. So come in, sit & enjoy your coffee. They offer one or two daily breakfast specials although I normally get the standard eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. It's always good! I have been probably 8-10 times and love it. Consistent, fresh, cooked to order & quality ingredients.

Veronica X.

I like the homey neighborhood feel, I like the farm-to-table concept, but I don't get the food. We were a little disappointed to see a very small menu for Sunday brunch, but thanks to yelp, I asked about the specials and guess what, there were more specials than regulars (at least sounded that way). I was a little lost as the young waitress was pulling different specials with all kinds of interesting ingredients out of her head, so I picked one without really knowing what I got myself into, except that she said she liked the turnip greens in it. It was some kind of hash brown cake that came with two eggs, some roasted potatoes, a few pieces of fruits and two slices of multigrain toasts. Nothing really special and it was bland. Since I am not a fan of regular potatoes, I prefer not to have roasted potatoes automatically included in my meal. I did, however, take comfort in the thought that none of my arteries was getting blocked with this breakfast consumption. The Gladiator was more like the traditional breakfast you can get anywhere: eggs, bacons, plus roasted potatoes, fruits and toasts -- keywords: nothing special. With two beverages (coffee and tea), a simple breakfast for two cost $25 before tax. I guess the price is not too bad for midtown Atlanta but there should be at least a few places where I can get tastier breakfast for less.

This was my first time going to Babs and it won't be my last! When I first arrived, I was greeted by Randy. There was about a 30 minute wait and it would have been longer but a party of 7 left since they were in a rush. I had the Athenian toast (similar to french toast) and my boyfriend has the Greek omelette. Each entree came with fruit, toast, and potatoes so your plate really is loaded. The overall atmosphere was very homey and rustic so it's comforting and the staff makes it super welcoming. Our food came out in ten minutes tops and everything was perfect. Well worth the wait and I definitely am coming back. Only downside is that you have to pay for parking but if you go on a Sunday, then you should have no worries. After we finished our meals, we went up to pay and Randy asked about desserts but I said I couldn't because I was way too full and so he offered me a brownie to go and told me Happy Valentine's Day (such a sweetheart!) If I could, I would give more than 5 stars just because the customer service was that great which matched the food and the atmosphere. The only way you could have a bad time at Babs is by having absolutely no type of sense of humor at all. Randy is awesome and he will start your day off right!

Best brunch in Atlanta. The better known diners and breakfast spots charge higher prices for lesser quality food. This place will take care of you, you won't be disappointed. The manager on shift, Stephen, waited on me. He suggested the award-winning crispy omelette special, a ham-tomatoes-cheddar-tator-tot-masterpiece. He preferred it with turkey sausage instead of ham, so I ordered it that way. Delicious. Stephen infused honey from the mountains of Georgia with jalapeÃ±os and anaheim peppers from his garden... the result is INCREDIBLE. It literally brought me to my feet and over to the kitchen so that I could tell him how impressed I was by the flavor explosion. Try some on their fresh, thin, crispy multigrain bread. The Moroccan stew is off the charts--nice and spicy, served with two fried eggs hanging out in the broth. Incredible. This dining experience is what the 5 star reviews should be saved for. I often find myself eating somewhere and thinking, 'I mean, there's nothing WRONG with the meal...' but feeling a bit hesitant to give it that high of a rating. It's nice to remind myself how good a meal can be. Sorry to those nearby restaurants whose reviews just dropped a star.

Small but nice. Waiters are friendly. I went for breakfast on Saturday morning. Their serving portions are big, you get value for your money here

Great place for Sunday brunch. Staff treats you with a respectful but warm familiarity. Even waiting for a table is enjoyable - small waiting area where you can peruse art books of Frido Kahlo, etc. while sipping good coffee. (Better option: Make a reservation! It's a small space) Moroccan stew with egg topper was a kasbah-like treat. Chef seems to like exploring savory options- to the benefit of dinners.

My sister and I dropped in here after reading good Yelp reviews. We both LOVED this quaint little place. The entrance is not necessarily inviting, as you head down into what looks like a garage. However, inside we found an eclectic dÃ©cor and a snarky hostess that appeared to have popped out of a sitcom. First and foremost, the coffee was very good (an indication of the overall quality I would propose) and the food was exactly as we had hoped. This place will undoubtedly be on my list of return-to brunch places the next time I'm in Atlanta.

After reading great reviews we decided to stop here for Sunday brunch before we got on the road to head back to DC...and it was WELL WORTH IT! It is a smaller location and feels like you are eating in someone else's home, which can be a hit or miss for most people but it felt more cozy to us! The food portions are fairly large and great for the price. If you are going to eat here, have a sense of humor! I see the reviews talking about how rude Randy and the other workers are but they are completely UNTRUE. The staff is GREAT, unless you really have something stuck up your ass- but if that's the case, just stay home and make your own food.

The menu is very unique. I really like it, they keep it short and simple with only about 5 items on the menu. They don't serve alcohol before 1230, which is ok but I kinda had my heart set on a Bloody Mary! The ambiance is neat, kind of has a small town feel to it. Decorations are from who knows where, looks like they hit a big garage sale. Haha. The food is very delicious! Well cooked and tasty. The combination of flavors is really exquisite. Would recommend, but still new here so I have a lot more places to try!

Pretty disappointed. Made reservations for outside and still had to wait for a table when we were eventually seated indoors. One of our dishes was cold and not cooked all the way through and the food was just so-so. The best part of meal was the blood orange mimosa (which cost as much as one of the entrees). The wait staff was also just sort of rude and brusque. I won't be back. There are way too many excellent brunch places in this city. Also it cost about $50 for three people, which is a little ridiculous considering none of us really liked our meals.

Hands-down, my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Atlanta. Food is always fresh and delicious, and if I remember right, the majority of their ingredients is actually grown on their own farm. They have a standard menu, but I almost always get one of their specials, and have never been unsatisfied. Coffee is great too, and they have a nice outdoor seating area. The waiters are always pleasure!

Sarah B.

Food is incredible. I will be back again and again and again. The specials are where it's at, they change weekly and do not disappoint. I live blocks away from here with plenty of brunch opportunities on a Sunday but I have no use for any other place since I found Babs. Today it was shrimp cakes with runny eggs on top, wilted green salad with lemon dressing and their perfectly done red potatoes. I would give 5 stars except for the lack luster service I had today. Most of the servers are so friendly. However today my friend and I were interrupted twice while we were still eating with food on our plates by a female server asking to pick up the check which we hadn't even looked at yet. I understand that at big busy breakfast places it is lucrative to keep the door revolving, especially when there is a wait. However, this morning the place was half full and there was no line. In my humble opinion, being made to feel even slightly rushed this morning was off-putting. I wrote a quick polite note on the back of the check to let her know.

Great food, great service, fair price! We did a Google search for brunch midtown atlanta and found Babs. It looked like something we should try so we did and they delivered! The food was outstanding and the service was as well. 5 Stars all the way!

Andrea B.

I don't get the reviews. The host was rude and the service in general super slow. When we went they didn't have half the menu and they kind of laugh about it. The place is a dumb, not very clean and some of the walls were full of mold. I've never left a restaurant, but this time after the drinks I couldn't take it, and left.

Limited Menu selection for brunch. It could be cleaner (my coffee cup and utensils were dirty). Food tasted good, nothing out of ordinary.

This place has a reputation for having surly staff, but that wasn't the case during my recent visit. It's possible I'm just desensitized to social niceties having grown up a Yankee, but I found all the staff to be perfectly reasonable individuals. As far as I'm concerned, any waiter with the huevos magnificos to tell a female patron that she's "greedy" after polishing her plate clean is A-OK in my book. Just think of it as dinner and a show without the added cost. Food: The food at Bab's consists of stylized American breakfast and lunch fare. The menu is somewhat limited, but the available offerings are diverse and there's something that should please most casual diners with reasonable expectations. During my visit for Sunday brunch, I opted for the chicken sandwich with a side of fries. I can't say I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the offerings, but for the price and portion, I left satisfied. Service: Although the service was quick, the staff appeared somewhat disorganized. In particular, it doesn't appear that the staff are assigned to any particular table or section of the restaurant. At last count, there were four different people who tended to our table during brunch, including a request for our orders by another waitress after they had already been placed. Sweet potato fries were also served with my entree after I clearly articulated to the waitress that I wanted regular fries. Atmosphere: The atmosphere takes some getting used to, particularly if you're accustomed to the meticulous patios and urban chic decor of many of the other brunch spots in the area. Babs is basically in the basement of an old house and the decor would best be described as eclectic - that being said, this is a perfect place for a casual brunch out with friends, not a place to impress a client or potential love interest. Cost: Appropriately priced for the food quality and area. Brunch options were approximately $10 each. For the most part, you could easily get out of here for less than $20 a person, including tip - which is an absolute steal in this section of Midtown. Other: Babs can be somewhat difficult to find for first time visitors. It's located on the side of the house that's situated between the Fifth Ivory and Takorea - on Juniper in between 5th and 6th streets. Parking is available in the lot directly outside the restaurant, or free of charge along the surrounding side streets. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 8:30AM-3PM, Saturday, 8:30AM-5PM, and Sunday, 9AM-2:30PM. The restaurant offers a themed brunch every Sunday.

Went for their Sunday brunch - some major pluses, and minor downsides, and overall probably a 3.5 star experience. Pluses: Food was delcious and unique; lot's of options and variety; the wait staff (and whole place) was down to earth and friendly; really cool environment and atmosphere. Downsides: Not very much outdoor seating (would've been even more of a downside if we hadn't snagged one of the three or four outdoor seats); the location is right by a police or fire stations or something so loud sirens must have raced passed at least five times over the course of the meal (not really Babs fault, obviously); the portion size of the food was enough for a person; but I wouldn't have minded more to take home; the PRICE, I get that it's a trendy place, downtown, and it's brunch, but I spent almost $20 on coffee and one of the normal to low priced breakfasts - this is probably what would keep me from coming back. Nevertheless I'll probably be back, since I live down the neighborhood...

I've got nothing bad to say about Babs. Great breakfast (came with a little fruit! Love it!), plenty of food, fair prices, decent service, etc. What the hell else do you want? The menu is not very big, but you'll be able to find something you want. Very quaint, cozy restaurant.

Sherry U.

Definitely a local place. Ambiance is relaxed. Busy but quick and friendly service. Good quality food. Omelets are over-stuffed with great ingredients. Nice change from your standard majority egg omelet. Fruit is not a chopped salad but nice big pieces of pineapple, cantaloupe, and orange. Cute interior. Not sure of the wait on a Sunday - we went on Saturday mid-morning. Reservations are welcome. Also, dog friendly !!

Cool, quirky place with a friendly, attentive, knowledgable waiter (manager?). I had the broccolini breakfast wrap on special, and it was very tasty. Prices were a little high for breakfast, but portions were huge and the ingredients were fresh. I don't drink coffee, but my friends do, and they said that the coffee was really great. This is not a place to go with a big group, but it's perfect for an intimate breakfast w/ 2-4 people.

Jody C.

I really want to like Babs because it is out our back door and it has so much potential! It teetrs between ok and really good. I have only been there for breakfast and both times had the spicy (bean) cakes which my boyfriend and I agree is the best thing we have tasted from there. Everything my boyfriend as ordered has been decent but his omelette seemed half-heartedly put together where all of one of the ingredients were completely on one side so he had to take it apart and even it out. The decor is fun- but could use a dusting. The people are nice and interesting. I will try it again in hopes that I just haven't been trying the right things!

Samantha J.

I had a bbq pork wrap & sweet potato fries here & both were delicious! The wrap had an Asian spin to it (the sauce was almost like hoisin sauce) & the sweet potato fries were just crispy enough. I wish I'd had room for dessert! Next time, for sure.

Thomas Z.

Didn't get the chance to eat here--the service attitude was enough to turn me away. I didn't say a full greeting and instead the waiter turned us away and pointed us towards a competitors restaurant. I can't speak for the food, but this place only deserves one star for their service.

I didn't eat breakfast today and in my 10am roundtable meeting at work. They talked about celebration parties/dinners, ribs, fried chicken, and catfish. I left the meeting super hungry and on a mission to find a hearty delicious meal. I remembered someone telling me about a place called Babs a few weeks ago and convinced my co-worker to join me. We both ordered the same thing because it sounded so amazing. Pulled pork, with 2 fried eggs over medium, between two pieces of spicy cornbread, served with the most delicious roasted parmesan potatoes I've ever had. The food came fast and looked as good as it tasted. The service was friendly and on point. I was even convinced to try the fresh out of the oven pineapple upside down cake. It did not disappoint! I am now here at my cube planning my next lunch to Babs while raving to anyone who will listen. I need to find a place to hide so I can take a quick nap before I fall asleep in the open.

Bab's is undoubtedly the best place for brunch if you live in or around this part of town. Great owner and service - fantastic food ; get the omelet.
(5)
Paul K.

Although the Crispy Omelette was very tasty, the weekday breakfast menu is very limited with only omelettes, eggs your way, or a bagel. So, if you know that you and your party want only eggs and toast, then maybe this will satisfy you. Given the rave reviews of brunch, and the overall impression I got from breakfast, I will return, but only for sunday brunch.

The customer service is nice, and the atmosphere is laid back. The food is good but not amazing but then again the prices aren't high at all. Babs is definitely a place that I would eat at again but not a place that I would drive out of the way for.

David C.

We ate brunch here while we were passing through Atlanta for a few hours. Excellent service -- extremely friendly staff, water and coffee were always kept full, and all the rest. The menu offerings were excellent as well. An eclectic mix of ingredients made brunch more exciting (and perhaps more healthy) than the standard omelettes and toast, although standard items were available as well. I had a special: sausage hash with two eggs, fruit, and toast. The hash was warm and gooey with cheese, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. To boot, our food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Needless to say, I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Atlanta!
(5)
Julia C.

You must try Babs if you are in Midtown. Staff is wonderful atmosphere is very homey. Food recommendation: get one of the specials. There is really no other way to go. It doesn't matter which special you get, but if they have something with grit cakes....mmmm.

While in Atlanta for the BeyoncÃ© and Jay-Z concert, my friend and I desperately needed a place to brunch. After asking some of the locals and getting the response: "well it's a Tuesday", we took to yelp. After reading through the reviews of brunch places in midtown, we settled on Bab's and were not disappointed. The place is adorable. Tucked away in charming midtown and sporting a patio filled with plants. We walked in and Randy, the owner, greeted us. He immediately suggested the elixir made with fresh fruit and a st. Germain cocktail for my friend. Actually he didn't really suggest-- just said "you'll have that, go sit". Once that decision was made we enjoyed a lovely Tuesday morning on the patio with our delicious cocktails and brunch. We ordered sweet potato fries to start--hand-cut and served hot. They were delicious with the curry mustard. We also split the broccolini and egg wrap and shrimp salad, both of which were daily specials made with ingredients growing right beside us! The food was amazing, and not overpriced one bit. You could really tell all of the ingredients were fresh. After brunch we chatted with Randy about shopping in the area, transportation to the concert, and he even recommended some restaurants where we could eat dinner. However, we were so full from lunch we never got there. I would go back just for the food, but the service was what really made it. I have a feeling most customers enjoy a similar experience and you can really tell Randy cares about what he does. If you're in midtown, you don't want to miss this place!

Liz C.

Good food, but upon looking at the menu again I realized that I didn't get what I ordered. I ordered the Babs chicken salad which, according to the menu, comes with roasted mushrooms, candied almonds, onions, and a bit more. My salad only came with raw red peppers and chicken. To be fair, I was ordering the salad at 10:30am and understand if not everything was prepped for lunch service quite yet.

Nicole L.

They are so rude!!! From the moment I walked in. The waiter told me he would not add any extra cinnamon to my French toast but would bring it to me to put on myself (dry)... We asked for honey for tea and he brought out a very sticky honey jar. The space is extra small (tight), so not good for large parties. We had four adults and two kids and it was a challenge for us to sit in the back next to two other tables. I should have stayed home and made breakfast. Ugh!!!!! If you have a choice head to Highland Bakery, it will be worth the wait. Fresh food, quick and warm food without the attitude.

Dayna B.

I am so happy we found this gem in Midtown. The food was fresh, interesting and delicious. I had a special, The Cruncher omelette: tater tots, cheese, and I believe sausage. I also had the St Germaine mimosa which with good champagne. The food was great but for me the customer service was the real winner. Randy helped us figure out the best options and gave me and my boyfriend tips on places to go in Atlanta. He was even nice enough to give us a ride. (Don't expect him to drive you anywhere, call Uber for that lol). I would love to return here for breakfast/brunch. Why go to a chain restaurant when you can eat at a local cool tasty Midtown joint?
(5)
Justin W.

Simple, seasonal, and delicious fare with a smile just off Juniper street! I have enjoyed everything I have ever eaten here during my many visits, from perfectly executed sweet potato fries (served with a spiced curry dipping sauce) and delicious panini stuffed with marinated chicken and brie cheese to an amazing list of omelettes as long as my arm, each perfectly seasoned and unique in it's own way. Babs' brunch, which is offered each weekend and features a different theme each time, is also always well-executed and tasty. Long live Babs!

Wow. Babs is the best kept secret in Midtown Atlanta. I came here for lunch with my wife and a friend, and we were blown away by the service and food. The decor is just the right amount of quaint, our waiter was super nice and knowledgable, and the prices are amazing for the quality of food. I had a crunchy omelet with ham, cheese, tater tots and tomatoes. Simply awesome. You can tell Babs used quality ingredients and puts their all into their food. Ask about the origin of their name, too!

Ellie K.

Definitely a great place for the locals! The waitstaff was super friendly and personable whether you were a regular or a newbie like us. The service was CRAZY quick. Literally - we ordered and what felt like a few minutes later huge plates of food were in front of us. We were also seated right away, and we were able to bring my roommate's dog who got treated to multiple pieces of bacon! Definitely will be back.

Went to Babs for breakfast while in town for a short visit. Awesome food, service, and decore! You could tell a lot of TLC went into the food and restaurant. We got an omelet and the Irish oatmeal. Both were delish! Highly recommend going to Babs if you are close Midtown!

Good food, eclectic atmosphere. Not a lot of seating, so either make a reservation or expect to wait. Not good for large groups, but it's a good place for an intimate brunch with a few people. I had the salad, served with grilled chicken. It was good, but nothing special. My dining companions had the Bab's omelette, which they all devoured.

Jayme R.

Having tried Babs for the first time, everything is quite quaint upon first inspection. It has an old southern charm feel, aside from the tables being somewhat uncomfortably crammed next to each other. Our waitress was trying very hard and the food was very delicious, but the 2 star rating reflects the gentleman behind the counter. He was obviously in charge of seating people and running the cash register. He appeared to be overwhelmed, which resulted in him snapping at customers to go sit at particular tables and giving attitude to his fellow staff. The epitome of his unprofessionalism was when he snatched the iced coffee I was actively drinking and had in my mouth to add more ice to it... mind you I never asked for more ice. He then promptly slammed it back on our table and swished away. I would recommend this place, but if you see a guy behind the counter with liver spots... run!

Janine D.

Babs was absolutely phenomenal! My sister and I spent the night in Atlanta and were looking for a good breakfast place so we decided to check Babs out based on the Yelp reviews. The character, the food, Stephen King! All fantastic! Best coffee in ATL from Nicaragua and awesome mimosas as well! They even had Bloody Mary's with sake! And the food didn't miss a beat either...sweet potato fries with curry dipping sauce...YUM! Vegetarian Thai curry soup...YUM! Crunchy omelette special...YUM! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Rock on Babs!!

Valerie K.

Went in for a Sunday brunch and immediately got attitude for asking about an open table on the outdoor patio. Our waiter (same guy) continued to make snarky comments throughout the meal, so much so that the couple at the table next to is apologized for his behavior. He ultimately apologized as well citing a stressful day, but made our day stressful as well! Food was good but will not be returning.

Andrea T.

I really like these guys. It is a really nice place, well located and with free parking (a great asset in midtown). The food is always good and home made. I love their soups and sandwiches and always enjoy going there! You cannot go wrong with Babs!

Alessandra C.

The manager has a bad attitude. The rest of the staff is friendly. The food is mediocre at best and they messed up one of our orders. The worst part was the rudeness of the manager. It ruined our experience. He rolled his eyes at us when we requested a table outside and I heard him yelling at a sweet waitress. I feel bad for all the nice staff that works with him.

Anastasia R.

Accidental gay breakfast! Everywhere I found myself in Atlanta turned out to be a home grown gayborhood hang out. Apparently my homo-homing powers grow stronger in indirect proportion to my appetite. The lovely gentleman owner made me a bitchin' latte, knocked my omelet out of the park, and was glad to lend a traveler a little morning conversation as well as some local recommendations for hotels and must-sees. Drop in and see the family if you are in the area!

When I stepped inside Babs, I was immediately reminded of breakfast and brunch cafes in San Francisco. It's small, cozy, and has an original, neighborhood feel. Babs is hidden in the basement underneath an old Midtown home. The employees here are friendly and the owner is the type of person who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Babs catered the Yelp Elite event at Halo almost a year ago and didn't make the greatest impression with their small table of crackers, vegetables, and spreads. However, this restaurant has a devoted following. Each Sunday, Babs' brunch menu changes themes. The theme when I went was Greek. I chose the "Olympian Breakfast," which was ham, tomatoes, eggs (whipped), cream cheese, and feta spread wrapped inside of a puff pastry skin. This was similar to an omelette. It was rich and very filling. The meal was accompanied with two slices of toast (nice and crispy), steamed potatoes, watermelon, and a slice of orange. A complete meal you could say. I also ordered their blueberry pomegranate lemonade, a special advertised on the whiteboard outside. It was good stuff. The juice had tons blueberries in it and was served with fresh strawberries, slices of orange, and a small piece of raw sugarcane. The coolest thing about this drink was that we got free refills. Overall, the food and drink quality at Babs is good. The restaurant is small and therefore not conducive for groups. I'd say four people max if you'd like to be seated within a reasonable amount of time. On the weekends during brunch hours, you can expect waits of up to 30 minutes. They have patio seating and free Wi-Fi. Coming south on Juniper, you'll see a sign for Babs' parking lot. The restaurant itself is hard to see from the street, especially from the direction you'll be coming (Juniper is one-way), but once you turn into the parking lot, you'll see Babs right away. When we arrived, a valet attendant asked us if we were going to Babs. When we said yes, he let us self-park in the lot for free.

Beyond the food and the ambiance, this place is just too much fun!! In my first visit there they were so busy they actually asked me to deliver some waters to table 13. Since I was not an employee I had no idea where that was, but I went with it and it's one of my favorite stories to tell about Babs! But that's how that place is, you walk in and they treat you like family, complete with the ribbing and teasing but full of love and laughter! Oh yeah, and their breakfast is just YUM!

great little place. special was delicious: Colombian spices (I think) and andouille sausage, tomatoes, onions, two eggs with a delicious slice of grain bread. really nice atmosphere inside and out. not crowded at all. only thing missing for me was an eggs benedict...

Jacob J.

What a gem. Babs is a delightful breakfast and brunch spot. The service is unbelievably fast and polite, with a charming wit. There is outdoor seating if you want to test the humidity. But mostly, the food is good. The breakfast risotto was better than it sounds and an original way of spicing up the most boring meal of the way. And how much better can it get than when the waiter starts it off by saying "Here is some peach preserves for your naan."

Anjali S.

I did not like this place at all. It's a kitschy little place- not crowded at all the Sunday I stopped by with a friend. But also very small and not great for big groups. They made a poor impression on me. I'm usually pretty open to experiences and forgiving about shortcomings but was kind of bummed when I was told my eggs couldn't be poached because the stove was too crowded(??) so if I'd take them another way. I asked for over-easy- they showed up hard fried. This really wouldn't bug me except after I got my plate I saw a plate go by with poached eggs on it? I kinda felt slighted. Another problem which I think is just carelessness is our toast was black burned and crispy. Come on. Make a good decision and make another batch of toast. So apparently their menu changes. We were there for the Greek menu. We had assumed it was a supplement to a main menu but it was not. It was a short list of items inspired by 'Greek' flavors. So I forgot if it had a name but I had my hard fried eggs served on top of grit cakes studded with kalamata olives and topped with a tomatoey sauce. I didn't like this dish at all. The flavors did not mesh well. I ate it because I was hungry and that's what I ordered. I didn't appreciate the guy coming around exclaiming loudly that I was 'greedy!!' Because I ate my eggs? Made me feel like a little piggy. Oink. So my friend ordered the jambalaya omelet- which in my culinary experiences has never been Greek. So we were thinking it was really jambalaya with rice and all- so she asked to have the jambalaya part on the side in case the pair was too 'adventurous.'... They brought a sad flat egg omelet and a soup cup of a tomatoey soup- no rice. Eh. I would not recommend this place.

Great neighborhood spot!! They make you feel like family and their food is great!! Good coffee. Small but not too small. Great breakfast and lunch! Nice outdoor patio. Free WiFi. A must if you live in midtown Atlanta or are visiting at any of the nearby hotels; Georgian terrace, hotel indigo, Lowe's, etc. (The latter is the furthest away.)

Jake C.

Parking isnt free anymore, it's $3 required valet in the lot directly in front of the restaurant. Everyone at Babs was apologetic though and explained that the landlord wanted it valet because non-patrons were filling the lot. Whatevs! Food was great and service was AMAZING. Sat on the porch and it was a beautiful day for brunch. It was also the restaurant's 8th birthday, so they gave out complimentary cake for dessert. It even had a lit candle! Can't express how good the service was. This was my first visit, and I'll definitely be back many times. PS no wait for a table at 1230 on a Sunday.

As an eight year midtown resident, I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of Babs until this week. I needed a good spot for a morning business meeting with free Wi-Fi, and thanks to my fellow yelpers I found it. It's cozy, not too crowded, there's free parking, and the Wi-Fi connection is excellent. That's all I needed to fill my requirements, but Babs has so much more. First, there's Randy, who is a warm and gregarious host and knows how to sell a lunch special. Second, the food is really good! The Tuesday lunch special was a spicy chicken adobo, served with saffron rice and a small baked potato topped with cheddar cheese. On Wednesday, I had the minestrone soup and half a chicken-Brie panini, along with a small order of sweet potato fries. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the crispy fries. Served with a spicy sriracha sauce, they were totally worth the splurge. Babs is a great neighborhood place, and I plan to be a regular!

ZERO stars. Read that again: Z-E-R-O. Let's start with the service: the man working the register and "greeting" everyone was completely rude. He spoke in a very snide manner. As the first and last point of contact for a place of service, he could use a lesson in common courtesy. Next, the food: the kale hash was okay. The potatoes and eggs were completely undercooked. I don't understand how this place ever earned 4 stars. Waste.

Follow up to yesterday. Go for the food!! went 2 days in a row. Consistent good service. Great flavors in the specials. My wife had the crab risotto with 2 eggs over medium on top. Good spice, great flavor combination. Very unique Sunday Brunch. Glad we went back. I had the tomato & chickpea stew with 2 eggs over medium. Also fantastic. Hidden gem of a place for breakfast in Midtown. Just off the beaten path on Juniper & 6th.

I am not a fan of thick lunchmeat sooooooo read this review knowing that. We had lunch to go from here today and... eh. the ham just was too thick, I know - I'm a spoiled northern girl who loves paper thin lunch meat. This sandwich just didn't do it for me. However, the cucumber salad with tomatoes, cheese and peppers, made me wish I orders a huge portion and added sliced ham on top. So good! I also tasted someone's order of sweet potato fries and they were a winner!

Don't see what the hype is about. Went here once and will probably never go back. It's all pretty basic cooking. We waited a long time to get our food while everyone around us got theirs first. Could of made the same eggs at home.

Hands down one of my absolute favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch places - PERIOD. Food is fresh and full of flavor -- obviously made by true foodies. I appreciate their dedication to offering dishes that are fresh, local, seasonal, and organic/not processed. Their menu truly suits my very clean and quite distinguishing palette -- and keeps me coming back on a regular basis. Their Risottos are generally my favorites -- always sublime -- so much so I have a hard time branching out and ordering other things. But I do and am never disappointed -- their omelets and paninis are always amazing as well. One thing you can not miss no matter what you order -- get the sweet potato fries with their fabulous curry sauce. You will not be sorry. If you get their early enough, ask what they have for dessert...home made and it goes quick. Be sure to ALWAYS ask what is special and what is recommended -- I always do and they have never steered me wrong.

They serve great, creative breakfast specials here. The owner sat down with us and described the specials in meticulous detail. The grit cakes were awesome, but the seafood omelette was just okay. One of the guys there had some homemade jalapeno honey and it went well with the toast (in our opinion. If you don't like jalapenos, then you won't like it). I also overheard him talking about a Sake Bloody Mary which sounded enticing, but I quit drinking a couple of weeks ago, so I couldn't get it! :(

This place is amazing! Came in from out of town, the staff was so friendly and their blood orange mimosas are great! I got the smoked salmon bagel and my boyfriend got the juniper breakfast and they were both great! Definitely will be back next time we are in ATL!

I love this place! The food is wonderful and always feels thought-out and unique. You can tell that a lot of love goes into the flavor combinations. I have been there 3 times now and loved my experience each time.

So glad we found this awesome little brunch place in Midtown! Cute little restaurant with a little patio - super friendly service, good coffee, awesome food. All three of us left the restaurant stuffed to the gills because we had all cleaned our plate! If I lived in Atlanta this would be a regular place for me!

Very indie. Be prepare to be harshly teased by the wait staff. Food was okay. Limited menu - but food was overall good!

I thought this was a great spot for brunch. They have a pretty limited menu, but everything on it is really good. I had the sweet potato and egg scramble and it was fantastic. They have their own parking lot which is tough to find in midtown plus the staff is very fun and provide great comments and service :)

I'm not for franchised morning places, and by franchised I don't mean your typical run of the mill diner Waffle House or IHop but even places like J. Christopher's and The Flying Biscuit don't quite cut it for me. I'm not much one for breakfast foods but every once in a while I run across a little shop that just takes me away. A few months ago I ventured out of my comfort zone to a place called Le Petit Marche. Located in a very obscure area of town I had noted it was one of the most relaxed, European-style cafes I had been to in a while. When I first walked into Bab's it had a similar feel to it, brick walls with an eclectic dÃ©cor hanging on the walls. It's a bit difficult to find as their location is underneath a Health and Wellness house but look out for a red awning with a white Bab's stamped to the front. As I walked in I was greeted with a cheerful "I'll be right with you" from the do-it-all host and server. Charming and hilariously over the top, this man made the restaurant, his name as I found out later, is Randy. Randy, oh Randy... what do I say about this man who made my dining experience THAT much better. I'm pretty sure he's gay. Hell, it's on Juniper St. in the heart of Midtown. I expected to walk in and have a relaxing breakfast with my friend but alas that is not so when you have a bombshell waiter. He advised us for food, emphasizing on the time old tradition of trying new things and "living dangerously." He convinced, perhaps even pushed me and my friend to have what he called "Sake Mary" with a dash of Sriracha. It's essentially a Bloody Mary with Sake, it's a excellent invention, and the recommendation for a dash of Sriracha won me over instantly. As for the food it was lovely. I settled for a daily special, a Cuban wrap grilled panini style with sweet potato fries. The pork cuts were a bit chewy but overall the Cuban was a success, with a nice sweet hint to balance out the salty ham and briny pickle I devoured the first half happily. The sweet potato fries were something else. I had grown accustomed to the idea of overly sweet, sweet potato fries but these fries came served with a tangy honey mustard and curry dipping sauce that was absolutely divine. It complimented the soft and subtly sweet fries. Overall, a wildly different and kookier experience than I had expected. A sake-mary down, filled with good food I left Bab's smiling having a different eclectic yet all together relaxing morning. I recommend this place, if you're looking for something quiet or if not chat up with Randy he's a bombshell of a guy and by far one of the best servers I've had so far.

Absolutely great breakfast and the BEST coffee I've had since I was in France! Will most definitely be back when I stay in the area.

Most of these reviews must have been written by the owner or his friends, because this place is not quaint -it's grody, and if this is the best breakfast in Atlanta - then I'd recommedn skipping the meal entirely. The coffee was hot dirty water. The juice came in a ridiculous little tulip glass. The special omelet tasted of nothing but butter and the tomatoes tasted definitely off. The breakfast burrito was similarly bland and the turkey sausage wasn't tasty at all. The "toast" was so dry, cool and crisp, it was more like a cracker. And the potatoes came with that fake parmessan cheese on top. All of this cost $30!

Fantastic food aside, Babs is not for everyone. Its not for those with bland taste-buds, lame personality or the faint of heart. For reals, this place is 50% personality, 50% food. ... and when I say 'personality', truuuust me, I mean it. The owners and servers have tons of sazz and they have no problem making fun of you and throwing witty remarks at your face. 'Whaaaaa?' was my first response, I hadn't seen this vibe in any other restaurant in Atlanta. But after a couple sips of cold water, I fully woke up and toke the jokes like a champ. After all, great service doesn't mean you have to be a 'yes mam' lame-o sort of server right? Right! But still, let this be my warning to you. If you can't take the heat... you know, don't go to a kitchen fire or something. Joking aside (literally, hehe) the food was surprisingly good. I love a small menu, but I didn't see anything on the breakfast side that I was totally in love with. Luckily, mister smarty pants came over and described like 5 'today specials' that sounded soooo delicious, I couldn't decide which one to order. I decided to go fully bold and asked for the black-eyed pea risotto with scrambled eggs, toast and fruit for about $10.75. I know, who the hell orders risotto for brunch? Luckily I was more than pleasantly surprised. The risotto was a punch of flavor, creaminess and scrumciouliciousness (i know its not a word, but... it could be). The toast was tasty and the scrambled eggs went surprisingly well with the risotto. I could have eaten that as a breakfast, lunch or dinner option and it would have still been incredibly appropriate for the occasion- it was a very versatile dish. Would I come back? Absolutely.. but I'd practice my comeback jokes first. I'll be back with a vengeance!!!

I've never given a 1 on a review, I hardly believe in it-- I'm ALWAYS the kind of person to give any and everyone the benefit of the doubt. But my recent experience at Babs was just SOOO BAD that 1 is the only appropriate rating. Okay, so it's day 2 of my friend visiting. This time I'm like, "hey, lets try a breakfast spot, I heard Babs is super delish". So, we take a stroll down Juniper, and find it nestled in a corner/on the side, right past Mu-lan and that other restaurant. It's easy to miss, so be sure to keep your eye out for the sign. We go in, the guy tells us we can sit wherever-- there's only 2 other people in there. (It's about 1:20ish) So cool, we sit down and get the menus. We're in breakfast mode, he tells us the specials, and we both nod, attentively listen, smile, yanno we give him ad-lib "oo-aww" "that sounds good" "mmm" etc. He leaves, we go through the menu... hmm, no true to heart breakfast stuff, ok yea there's eggs and what not, but no waffles, pancakes, or french toast. He comes back over, we explain to him that we're in the breakfast mood. In a sort snarky way he says "Sorry, we don't have breakfast, that's only on the weekends" "I can bring you the brunch menu." So, I'm thinking he has an attitude and doesn't want us to eat breakfast items, but will go ahead and bring us the menu so that we can order from that. He brings it to us and repeats that brunch is ONLY on the weekends, but that they have other stuff AKA 'here's the menu to look at, but you can't order anything off it.' My friend wanted to leave, but I'm like let's just stay and order something small. It can be our appetizer to the place we'll actually go eat at. He comes back over we explain that we really did want breakfast, but since we've heard such great things, we want to try something. And that's when the rant began.. Nothing BUT attitude. Passive aggressive attitude. SERVER GUY: "Well, I mean y'all can just leave I won't be offended" MY FRIEND AND I (PATRONS): "Oh no, we understand, but we've heard such great things about Babs, so we wanted to at least try something since we're here" SERVER: "Don't think you have to stay just because I brought you water" FRIEND AND I: "Yea, we understand, and we did want breakfast, but we'll still try something" SERVER: I don't know where you're gonna get breakfast at this time of day anyway, but there's a IHOP down the street" *screetch* (step on the brakes) Did this fool say that THE ONLY breakfast spot open in Atlanta right now is the IHOP off Ponce?! Are you brand new to the A? Or do you just think we're not from here so you can just make reckless comments like that? Either way that comment alone REQUIRED a negative yelp review. Despite his attitude, we decided to order the sweet potato fries. The sauce wasn't too complimentary, but the fries were very tasty (the 1 star on the rating). We eat, drink a little of the disgusting tap water (worst restaurant water ever, smelled like it came from the toilet). Then left. We should have NOT tipped, but we did. Fries were just $4 we gave him like $7. So pretty much a 75% tip, but whatevs... my friend just gave what he had in his pocket. SUMMARY: 1.) You close at 3PM. 3PM!! So for u to be mad & give me attitude for wanting breakfast/brunch is bananas, like straight rachel zoe "BA-NA-NAS". It's crazy! You're in the freaking breakfast brunch category for goodness sakes. Its pretty much the MAIN reason people come to u. Don't give me attitude for wanting that! 2.) The fact that you showed me a menu that has waffles on it, MEANS you have the ability to not just make waffles, but pancakes too. Sure it's not Saturday or Sunday, but there's literally, like LI-TE-RA-LLY 4 people in this restaurant and 2 have already finished their meal. You can make us some effin waffles if you want. I mean, wtf happened to customer service?! You have a waffle maker in the back, and it does not take much to whip up a small batter. BUT NO. BABS, THE BRUNCH & BREAKFAST PLACE, *ONLY* MAKES BREAKFAST ON WEEKENDS, ONLY 2 DAYS-- SATURDAY & SUNDAY. How dare they tell us such foolishness, you betta get in the back and make my waffles! 3.) IHOP?! Really. The server/front man/possibly owner at Babs tells me that IHOP is the ONLY place at 1:40PM that I can get breakfast. I'm just hoping that you're blissfully ignorant, otherwise... what a douchy thing to say. And just FYI, let me tell you a few places I can get breakfast on a Tuesday afternoon in Atlanta, Ga sir: - Let's just start w/ the basics: The Majestic (24 hours) & The Silver Skillet. Sound familiar? They've only been here since, idk, like FOREVER! Now I'll go into places that are BETTER than Babs, definitely better ambience and service: - Ria's Bluebird - West Egg Cafe - Thumbs Up Diner - Highland Bakery - I mean do you not realize The Flying Biscuit is within walking distance of you?! I basically walked passed it coming here. And that's just a few. Basically... Babs sux!! Don't go there!

I usually don't try to rate low off any particular incident, but I had to give Babs a low score, after seeing the bartista doing some unsanitory actions, ( wiping a runny nose )that turned me off to doing anything more than having some coffee, and getting the check.

Hilary G.

I was looking forward to having brunch at Babs; however the person working at the counter informed me that he was unable to clean the table that was covered in pollen for us to eat outside. I could understand if it was busy but there were literally 2 other people in the restaurant. furthermore, if you have a patio should it not be set up to allow guest to dine outside.

The owners asked me to write another review because I did not give them 5 stars, but they know I really like the place. The food is very good, particularly the specials. I'll do a quick review. Stromboli - Heart attack for breakfast. Cheesiness is closer to godliness. Risotto - This is probably my favorite. You get eggs on top. What kind of a breakfast place does risotto? Smoked Salmon Omelette - Quite Good Toast - Also good, never overcooked. It is perfect to dip in my over easy eggs. Fruit - Always fresh Did I tell you that I really like this place? The service is funny and entertaining every time....And this is why it's really hard to not give this place 5 stars. The food is good and consistent, but it's still not the best in town. Dish for dish R. Thomas has you guys beat and a few other places that come to mind as well. IF ONLY Babs were open 24/7...I'd be drinking there at 2 A M on a Tuesday. This is my go to hangout spot when I want to be lazy in midtown and maybe get a drink. If I have a good friend in Atlanta, I will make it a point to take them here.

I've been here about 3-4 times with my boyfriend and every time has been a great experience. Although their selections are limited, it doesn't matter much because their food are just so delicious! Their sweet potato fries along with honey mustard and sriracha sauce is to die for! We always have to have a plate of that whenever we come. One time we came and it was busy they told us we could sit at the counter to wait so we asked if we can just sit and eat there and they were happy to let us do so. Our food came quick and they even gave us dessert on the house for being cooperative :) The perks of sitting at the counter in front is that we can ask for anything and they'll hand it over in a second and we were asked how we were doing numerous times. What can I say, it was just a great experience!

Ignore the menu - it's all about the specials!! We had a black-eyed pea risotto along with a chickpea tomato stew that were excellent!! Super quaint and not that busy, but that's totally a a plus. Watch out for the red zinger tea - refills aren't included.

I went to this restaurant based on reviews of the area, and I have to say that I think that people are throwing 5's out a bit too easily. I would like to give it a four, but I think that a three is more fair to try to even things out a bit. We were there for a Saturday brunch about 11:00 AM. Three of us had omelettes (two "crunchy" omelettes and one goat cheese and portabella), and one had the Juniper street breakfast (bacon, eggs, toast and fruit). Pros: Excellent coffee Good entertaining service Generous meal portions Affordable price Cons: Food was good, but not mind blowing like other reviews led me to believe. The crunchy omelettes had ham, cheese, and hashbrowns inside. Again, tasty, but for me it was a bit too oily, and the hashbrowns were not very crunchy. A great idea, but the execution was so-so. All this being said, I would go back, and I would suggest others to go. However, I personally believe that a place with 4.6/5.0 should pretty much blow your mind, and Babs just didn't do that for me this time.

I met my friend here at 10am on a Sunday for breakfast / brunch. The ambiance is nice and the food was decent, but the treatment from the staff was not the most positive experience. They rushed us to order, rushed us to finish, rushed us to pay, and then, less than a minute after we paid stopped by to tell us that we needed to leave the table because they had a lot of business that morning. It made the entire experience un-enjoyable having them breathing down our necks the entire time. And to be clear, we were not there for more than 30-40 minutes, tops. Don't worry guys, I won't inconvenience you again. Free parking would have been nice too.

Really dug the atmosphere, but found the menu pretty limited and not really anything light or healthy on their menu. I ordered the Babs Best Omelet which I threw up later that day- pretty sure I got food poisoning from the crab. My boyfriend got the pulled pork, cornbread omelet which was pretty good.
