Gutbusters Breakfast - Candler Rd - Decatur, Georgia

A M. (. D. S.

Discovered this place while waiting for my son to complete a driving course nearby. Parking is terrible and limited, and the aesthetics of the building is much to be desired like most spots in the hood🤷🏿‍♂️, but THE FOOD is so good!😋 I see why it stays packed and crowded. For it to be so crowded, the wait for food isn't long. Even though everything is made to order, they get orders out to pretty quickly. I highly recommend any of the burritos and shrimp and grits. You get good-sized portions, too.👍🏿💯 Please know that if you get salmon anything, that it's a salmon patty/croquette, not an actual grilled salmon filet. I made the mistake of ordering a salmon quesadilla, expecting something with smoked salmon, eggs, and American cheese, possibly a sauce to combat dryness, but got a salmon patty with super thick sharp cheddar cheese.😩 OMG, it was sooooo dry I couldn't eat it all, had to throw it away!🚮🥴😮‍💨 Never ordering that again. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for breakfast! 👍🏿💯

Great cheap breakfast. No soda or tea and carry out only, but best breakfast I have had this side of 20.

I order FISH & GRITS, and a side of French toast (cause they looked so good in the picture) why they give me burnt toast?!?! Grits and fish was good 😊 French Toast PMO!

The service is very quick. The staff is very friendly and get to know the regulars which is great. The food is always delicious and it's a nice atmosphere although most people pick up to take their food to go.

I’m gonna keep this here review real simple:

This is a true-blue, down-home Southern breakfast, just like Mama used to make!

TAKE OUT ONLY !

The service is just what you’d expect—simple, friendly, and FAST. The prices? Well, they’re so good, they’ll make your wallet sing! You won’t believe how affordable it is, no matter your budget!

Your belly’s gonna be happier than a pig in mud once it’s full of those seasoned grits, that spicy red hot link, or some crispy fried catfish. And don’t even get me started on those buttery, flaky biscuits—they’re cooked to perfection!
I treat myself to this gutbuster whenever I get the chance! For just a little ol’ five dollars, you can have the home-cooked breakfast of your dreams, sugar!
This place is a must for anyone who wants to experience or keep enjoying their mama’s home cooking.

TLDR: A true Southern breakfast experience with friendly service and unbeatable prices. Enjoy seasoned grits, spicy hot links, crispy fried catfish, and perfect buttery biscuits. For just $5, you get a home-cooked meal that’ll make your belly happy. A must-visit for anyone craving mama’s cooking.

As you can see I gave them three stars but actually for consistency and the majority of the time for courtesy, I can give them a 4 or a five... That includes the food also... But the reason I did not give them a four or a five when it comes to certain foods (and this is just from my personal experience) they are not consistent with their cheese grits... the times I have ordered them they have been a little too liquefied... If they work on that and get those grits consistent I will give them a 4 or 5 star rating easily..

I used to come here for the indulgence—processed food, sugary drinks, and all the guilty pleasures. It was a treat in the past. But today, it just didn’t hit the same. The grits tasted off, like they were made with unfiltered tap water—you could taste it. On top of that, the prices have gone up. Honestly, the quality just isn’t there. Sure, it’s popular, but at this point, it’s no better than McDonald’s.
