If we had time to eat only one single thing in Atlanta (perish the thought!), it would be a slice of Silver Skillet lemon ice box pie. We had this creamy, rich, and unspeakably delicious slice as dessert after breakfast.

AFTER eating ham and biscuits and lemon pie, we spied the beautiful pancakes being eaten by people in the booth next to us, so we needed to order a stack for ourselves. They're terrific, as one comes to expect from this estimable eat-place.

This is serious ham! It isn't quite as intense as some country hams, but it radiates flavor; and the red-eye gravy that comes with it is fantastic ... not only on the ham, but spooned over the excellent grits, too.

If Silver Skillet is out of the lemon ice box pie and they most likely will be, we highly recommend the excellent banana pudding.

The walls are institutional yellow and the upholstery is avocado green and pumpkin-color. Just the right environment for eating inexpensive, home-cooked, Southern-style diner food.

The upholstery has seen better days, but like a favorite old easy chair, this restaurant makes up for its superficial dents and dings with a profound sense of comfort. Note the outward-sloping windows.

Silver Skillet lemon icebox pie is one of America's great desserts, alluringly poised on a teeter-totter of very sweet and very tart, supported by a graham cracker crust and crowned with creamy topping.
