| Even though it's been there a pair of decades, Pat Kuleto's sleekly design urban chic diner still looks fresh and hip. The décor relies on neon, stainless steel, enamel and vinyl to craft a classic diner look---a contemporary interpretation of this American middle-class institution. Start with the house signature appetizer, homemade potato chips with warm Maytag blue cheese, although we're also fond of the "buffalo style" shrimp. Blue Plate specials inspire such signature dishes as the veal meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Banana cream pie is one signature item that no chef can change---that includes chef Joey Riley, who has a good handle on what makes Buckhead Diner tick. The wine list, pared down from its original extensive set of offerings, presents a few good selections here and there. We still wish for a rosé, perfect for this food. Even though the place has lost some of its launch luster, it's still popular. |
