Billing itself as "the ritziest diner in the country," this energetic, award-winning restaurant is a longtime favorite on the Buckhead scene. Part of the Buckhead Life Restaurant group, the Buckhead Diner underwent a major, 17- day renovation in September, replacing the entire kitchen, shining and shellacking all the wood surfaces, adding a fresh coat of paint, and installing new floors, carpets, lights, chairs and tabletops. The menu was also redesigned quite a bit under the leadership of new executive chef Kevin Rathburn, formerly of Buckhead Life's Nava restaurant. Nearly 80 percent of the appetizers and entrees are new, with favorites like the Georgia sea scallops, grilled salmon over leek grits and Chilean steamed sea bass proving favorites with regulars and newcomers alike. Whatever you do, don't leave without trying their trademark White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie, which was selected the country's best dessert by the James Beard Foundation. -- Bret Love

BIG ROACHES
By momwgh on 10/20/2004
THERE WAS A BIG ROACH CRAWLING UNDER OUR TABLE, LUCKILY ANOTHER PATRON POINTED TO IT BEFORE IT CRAWLED INTO OR ONTO US! NOT WHAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED FOR THIS OVER PRICED DINER! MAYBE ACCEPTABLE IN A GREASY SPOON DINER BUT NOT ONE WHERE YOU PAY $18 FOR FRIED CHICKEN.

Over Rated, Over Priced
By ladycharguth on 06/17/2004
Not much to choose from menu wise. Food is very small portions with very high prices. Sweet Tea taste like colored water. Drinks only in bottles that are not cooled. Will serve ice but drinks so hot, they melt the ice very fast and then are watered down. Waited 35 min. for table. Would not go back again.

I would have to say that the service was great and the decor was nice, but the food was not that great. I could not believe that they serve fried chicken only on a certain day. I ordered an $11.00 cheeseburger, well done, and it was served almost raw. I of course sent it back to be fully cooked and then it was very good. I should hope that $11.00 would get you a nice piece of hamburger meat. Overall the place is overated and perhaps Diner is not the proper word for this place. A bit pricy and valet parking = a very expensive cheese burger.
