A retro 1950s theme is apparent inside and out at the OK Cafe, open since 1987, where there are no worries, and everything is ok, as the diner's motto decrees. From white and red stripes atop the building, to spinning barstools, to the checkered floor and servers in '50s-style garb, this not-so-traditional traditional diner serves everything from Coke floats to OK Power shakes with wheat germ and vegetable protein powder. For breakfast, try cereals with your choice of whole, skim or soy milk; griddle cakes; French toast; or one of the many egg dishes. Later in the day, favorite appetizers include fried cheese grits with cheesy jalapeño dip and sweet potato chips with bleu cheese. The chicken salad platter with potato and cucumber salads or any of the burgers or hot cheese, fish or chicken sandwiches are perfect for lunch or dinner. But there are also blue plate specials such as the crab and crawfish cakes or meat loaf with Creole sauce, all served with two vegetables and a corn muffin. Don't miss the Southern style sides and especially the house-made desserts including the strawberry shortcake, hot apple strudel, milkshakes and hot pecan pie. Beer and wine available. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Late-night weekends. Sat–Sun brunch 11 am–2 pm. Voted Best Restaurant to Take Kids in the 2008 Creative Loafing critics' poll.

While top-echelon contemporary restaurants, steak houses and some of the South's top Asian eateries garner press clippings, the chili dogs and orange drinks at The Varsity keep winning the hearts and stomachs of Atlanta diners.
