I can't believe no one's mentioned the Sky Deck at the Concourse F yet! I've spent the day writing reviews for my site of the Sky Clubs in T, A (both), C and F now, and F is far and away my favorite because of the Sky Deck. The weather in ATL has been gorgeous up to this point, and it's a really nicely furnished patio with good views of the runway, control tower and many gates. Here are some pictures I took:

Used the Sky Deck at F today for the first time and was of course very much enjoying the views and fresh air and all, but wow is the Wifi out there terrible. I was the only one using it outside and the Club is quite empty yet it was next to unusable, I came back inside to use my laptop.

Just in case anyone is looking, I'm at ATL T SC right now and restrooms are closed for renovations. On a conference call so I haven't gotten a chance to ask when they will reopen, but there are very nice signs directing people to the restrooms at gates T4 and T6.

I used the D12 Skyclub for my first time this year, it was until recently a United Club and before that a President's Club. I was a little disappointed they kept the old CO furniture in the middle of the club instead of replacing it with chairs with outlets in their arms.
Also, there's no bathroom. There used to be a single stall at the end of the club and I walked to it only to find a broom closet. I'm not sure why Delta removed the bathroom. It is nice enough though and it has the full food spread:

Just passed through E15 the other morning. Line at least eight people deep brought back dining hall or summe camp memories. Is this typical at ATL? People were taking large amounts of food on several of the small paper plates.
They now have peanut butter grinder type machines like you would find at Whole Foods or Sprouts. Never seen this before from DL, but these seem to have replaced the pancake machine they shamelessly copied from ALK.
Never seen anything like this in my vast SkyClub experience at BOS/LAX/PBI/FLL...

Either way, could never be as bad as either of the B SkyClubs.

What time were you there? As stated above, with the numerous international departures from E and F in the late afternoon and evening those lounges get much busier in that time frame, so yes, this could very well be common. I've seen it busy in this time period, but I don't think I've ever seen a line of 8+ waiting to check in.

Mid-morning, when the second bank from northeast and Midwest gets in. And I'm not saying the crowd is unique, that I have never seen the new peanut grinder (seems random to me) or the long lines of people stacking up for a Hampton Inn grade, at best, breakfast. Never seen either before.
As for the peanut grinder, I don't have a clue on that one. I'll be in ATL tomorrow and Sunday, but I'm not going to be on DL so I won't have lounge access to check it out. As intriguing as it is, I don't think I'm going to shell out $50 to get one time access to investigate, just planning to set up camp in The Club.

I was in the A17 Club today and had a strange experience: there was a queue of 5 people waiting for a stall in the men's lav. I had to go so bad that I actually went out into the terminal and used the lav right at gate A17. I don't know that I have ever had to queue for a lounge lav stall before this.
