Celebrate Mother’s Day in Atlanta by taking Mom to brunch — on the cheap, of course!
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, 2026.

We’re putting together a list of restaurants in the Atlanta metro area where you can get a cheap Mother’s Day brunch — which we define as $20 or less per person for an entree (and $40 or less for an entree plus cocktail).
(That doesn’t mean you can’t spend more at these restaurants!)

And this year, we’re including a handful of hidden gems that you may not have known about before.

Please remember that alcohol, tax, and tip can bring your final tab much higher.

If you’re looking to splurge, you can visit the Open Table Mother’s Day page for a list of restaurants with special buffets or fixed-price meals.

You may also be interested in our list of places where you can pre-order a Mother’s Day meal to-go.
