I last came to this joint about 20 years ago so this is my first review. I don't remember anything about that visit because I was probably drunk and with friends, though I do remember the birds. So this place is set up like a bedouins tent, with tables and chairs. Employees dress very casual as it's a very casual atmosphere, however you will see all walks of life and dress styles here, from business people to casual. Waitstaff are all pretty laid back but efficient and friendly. Menu is pretty eclectic. You can do breakfast all day, or sandwich, or burger, or wraps, or a pretty solid blend of different stuff, including some vegan type stuff that I ignore. 😎 Today I had the R-hearty big breakfast which is french toast with bananas, 2 eggs your style, your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, and some kind of potato hashbrown medley, which is kind of bland but still tastes good. The french toast was made perfect and tasted delicious. Eggs over medium were perfect, ham was good. I also had a side of sourdough toast, that was a pleasant surprise. Wife had chicken curry basil wrap. She wasn't impressed. The curry tasted chalky, there was a bit too much basil to it and the curry overwhelmed the red and yellow peppers and other ingredients, so we wouldn't recommend that. Prices are moderate, but we'll just go to IHOP for breakfast next time. Overall the place has a certain charm to it, parking is adequate, birds outside are cool (Peaches and Cream like their necks scratched, and Sam the Toucan has no interest in anything but he's cool to look at!). I'll probably come back in another 20 years.

I came here with high hopes that I would get a good late night meal, but I was let down. I came around 10pm and was a bit confused at the signage on the To-Go window. The wording and hours were inconsistent with Google which said they "closed at 11pm" (though I knew it was said to be 24/7). We decided to ask the man at the window if they were closed or closing soon and he just walked away without a word then came back. We asked again and he kept looking at the sign as if we didn't read it before saying yes. That was an odd first impression, but he ended up being nice otherwise and I understand being a worker in a night shift isn't very fun so I wasn't too upset anyhow. What really disappointed me was the food and the pricing. I ordered one of the special combos with French toast, eggs, chicken sausage, and cheese grits. There was also a "Take Out Fee" of almost $3 for some reason which I was unaware of until I had to pay. It was all around $20 which is quite steep for one meal with no drinks or anything, but I heard the portions were good so I continued. When I got home and opened the food I was met with a very disappointingly small portion. The French toast pieces were tiny with only one tiny slice of banana on each but they tasted great otherwise, the eggs were mostly tasteless, the chicken sausage was tough, but the grits were pretty good. Maybe the food is better when you are dining in or something, but I don't think I want to waste another $20 trying to find out. I wanted to like this place but I am not so sure I can say it was a great experience like I expected.

Eh, honestly this is a late night last resort spot. The food is similar to a diner and if that’s what you feel, go for it. The food came in a reasonable time. The tacos were good, having broccoli on them was weird but good. The Pasta was good, but it was very basic like it was for children. DO NOT get the chicken in this pasta, it was a bit dry. The salmon was very good and the potatoes was good. The green beans were a bit undercooked but I suppose that’s good if you want to be healthier. Lastly the teriyaki bowl was pretty good. Mine had Tofu and the tofu is soft and chewy (you have to like it). Really pay attention to the vegetables in the dish, maybe you could have some removed like the celery. Also if you’re looking for a drink, they don’t have good ones, mainly a wine and beer spot. Wear warm clothes. I’m here in the winter and they sat us near the end of the tent, so my butt was freezing but my friends were fine.

Ever since the first time I stopped in here looking for a healthy meal, R Thomas has definitely been my favorite place to eat when I’m in Atlanta.. Ten years ago, when I asked the intern at PatchWerk Studios where we could get food in the middle of the night, he sent me to R Thomas.. The fact that they serve breakfast (and specifically some of the best French toast I’ve ever had!!) around the clock was enough to win me over.. But once I started exploring their other menu options I was hooked.. The decor is part of the experience so expect it to be a little wild.. The cages outside of the entrance are filled with exotic birds year round and there’s an endless collection of funky collectibles all around the place.. Truly a fun time, some great food served by good people.. R Thomas is an Atlanta institution and absolutely worth a visit if your looking for healthy soul food at a fair price!!

RT’s is one of my favorite places to take visiting family and friends whenever they come to Atlanta. I think it’s partly because the atmosphere is so unique, but also in part because they serve quality food and have a good variety for meat lovers and my vegan friends alike. They also have a pretty decent selection of hot and cold beverages that I would highly recommend trying. There’s plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant and you can also park in the metered lot right beside the restaurant (they validate your ticket in the evenings). I think the only semi con is that during the winter the place can get pretty cold (it’s traditionally outdoor enclosed seating during the warmer months). So if you are going around that time, either ask to sit near one of the heaters or bring a decent jacket.
