Open 24 hours. On Ponce. Since 1993.
Whether you're rolling in at 2 a.m. after a long shift or pulling the family in for Sunday breakfast, the chrome sign is on, the griddle is hot, and there's a booth with your name on it.
Walk-ins welcome until 1 a.m. · Reservations recommended on weekends · (404) 555-0178
One chrome sign. One corner. One very specific mile of Atlanta.

- By car From I-75/85, take the Freedom Parkway exit east; we're 0.9 miles on the right, just past the North Highland split. Look for the red neon.
- MARTA North Avenue MARTA station (Red/Gold line) is a 12-minute walk south down North Highland. Bus 2 stops at Ponce & Bonaventure.
- Rideshare Drop-off zone is on the Bonaventure side — not the front door — so the curb stays clear for the late-night crowd. Uber & Lyft friendly 24/7.
- Parking Free lot behind the diner off Bonaventure Ave (26 spaces) plus free street parking on Ponce after 6 p.m. and all day Sunday.
Three decades, no shortcuts.
Zero closures during the 2008 recession and the 2020 pandemic — curbside running within 72 hours, no hourly employee ever laid off. That's the Halverson promise.
The kitchen never closes. Memorize nothing.
Galaxy has been open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year since 1993. New Year's Eve, Christmas morning, the morning after the Falcons lose — same griddle, same chrome, same Marisol's meatloaf.

"Everyone's booth is open."
We were a Navy cook's restaurant long before we were anybody's Instagram backdrop. The building is single-story, step-free from the back lot, with wheelchair-accessible restrooms and a wide front door. High-chairs and booster seats ready; large-print menus at the host stand; service animals and well-behaved four-legged regulars always welcome on the patio.
If you work the night shift at Grady Memorial or the Atlanta VA, ask your HR department about our 15%-off shift-worker program — 1,400+ staff already use it, no paperwork at the table. Hungry kids under 6 eat free on Sundays.
— The Halversons, since 1993
Reserve a booth — or just walk in.
Booths are easy to hold for parties of 2 to 8 — especially Thursday through Saturday after 8 p.m. If we're slammed, we'll text you the second one opens. Or skip it entirely: our front door has been unlocked every minute of every day for 31 years.
