Restaurants Playboy named Majestic Top 10 Diner
Posted by Bobby Feingold @senorbobby on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Hanging with the Girls Next Door all night could definitely work up an appetite, probably leaving Hef with the hankering for some late-night eats. So Playboy.com searched the country for the top 10 diners and picked Atlanta's own Majestic Diner as one of the stand-out establishments:
This Atlanta institution has been serving “food that pleases” under its Art Deco-style marquee’s blazing neon glow since 1929. The Majestic serves everything from cholesterol-threatening omelets and fist-thick burgers to blue plate specials and gyros. Red stools complement a red counter, while squeaky vinyl seats are well worn, providing cushy support for a multitude of derrières. The Majestic is located along a stretch of “Hot ‘Lanta” that’s resisted urban renewal, so the freaks do come out at night: college students, clubbers and other locals.
See the rest of the list here. And if you're feeling a little stung by that "freak" comment, remember: there's no one freakier than 83-year-old Hugh Hefner.

errrr, has anyone at playboy BEEN to the majestic lately, or just read the press releases? while in a drunken stupor at 3 AM, the majestic always sounds good in theory. but the last 3 or 4 times i have gone against my better judgement and eaten at the majestic, i have ALWAYS regretted it. i'm not saying i want it to close down, but new management would be extremely welcome.

What the hell were they thinking over at Playboy? High standards for women, but not food?
give me the circa 1998 menu, Ms. Inez and i'll love my majestic all over again. until then, please just go elsewhere y'all. it's overpriced, super not fabulous and just pisses me off royally
and if Urban Outfitters next door, closed down Gorins replaced with FedEx or something isn't urban renewal i don't know what is. seriously. can we get the 1/4 or 1/2 fried chicken meal back?
