Buckhead Diner Restaurant Review: Designer Pat Kuleto used neon, stainless steel, enamel and vinyl to give this place a classic diner look. The signature appetizer, homemade potato chips with warm Maytag blue cheese, remains popular, although we think better versions have cropped up around town. Ceviche with mango and deep-fried crispy plantains and sweet potato chips is also a good starter. Veal meatloaf with mashed potatoes and the banana cream pie have been Buckhead Diner standards since day one. If the main courses seem too hefty, turn to the salad offerings, such as a very good hanger steak salad on a bed of greens. Brought over from the Atlanta Fish Company, a sister enterprise, the Hong Kong-style grouper with spinach and sticky rice is clean and healthful while still packing a lot of flavor. Buckhead Diner’s famed fried chicken is available exclusively on Wednesdays and Sundays. The wine list has gotten a substantial upgrade, but we still prefer to bring a bottle. There’s no rosé, and the emphasis is on American and southern hemisphere value-priced wines. |
