East Cobb restaurant update: Reunion Kitchen and Bar opens

Reunion Kitchen and Bar opens

After a name change and several months of renovations, Reunion Kitchen and Bar has opened at the Market Plaza Shopping Center on Johnson Ferry Road.

Co-owner Ilene Kapper Oxman said in a release Thursday that the restaurant concept, which held a grand opening April 2, focuses on a “fusion of exquisite cuisine, captivating ambience, and handcrafted drinks.”

Reunion, located in the former Red Sky space (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 16) is open for dinner from Tuesday through Sunday.

The fusion includes “classic flavors and contemporary twists, showcasing the best of Southern hospitality. From comforting soups and salads to innovative cocktails and carefully curated wine selections, there’s something to delight every palate.”

Oxman, a former East Cobb resident, has been working with two other partners in the venture in part to fill the void left by Red Sky, which closed in 2022 after 14 years.

Initially the new restaurant was to be called 1255 Social, reflecting the street address.

Oxman said the name was switched to Reunion “as a testament to the power of bringing people together. Whether it’s a gathering of family, friends, or colleagues, Reunion is the place where memories are made, and connections are forged.”

The menu include beef, pork, chicken and seafood entrees, starters and shareables, salads, desserts and a fully stocked bar.

Reunion also has outdoor space with heaters and a roof for year-round use.

“Our vision is to create a gathering place where guests can enjoy exceptional food, drinks, and company in a welcoming atmosphere,” Oxman said. “We look forward to becoming a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.”

Reunion is open Sunday 4-9; Tuesday-Wednesdsay 4-9; Thursday 4-10, Friday-Saturday 4-11 and is closed on Monday.

East Cobb Restaurant Update: Sidelines Grille opens

Sidelines Grille coming to East Cobb

As we noted in November, the locally-owned Sidelines Grille chain has been preparing to open in the former Egg Harbor Cafe space at Stonewood Village.

The restaurant group, GFY Hospitality, announced Monday that it’s now open for business (4719 Lower Roswell Road, Suite 4200), a bit later than the earlier projected window of late January to early February.

The menu at the East Cobb location, like the others, is extensive, and online ordering will soon be available.

It goes beyond traditional sports bar food (burgers, sandwiches, wraps) and drink (two dozen draft beers on tap, craft made cocktails) to include full pasta, seafood, chicken and steak entrees, along with salads and soups, Tex-Mex items and desserts.

The family-style sports bar concept has been around since 1994, with locations in Canton, Hickory Flat, Woodstock and Cartersville.

Opening hours at the East Cobb restaurant are Sunday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight and Friday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Cleaver and Cork closes in East Cobb; new butcher shop to open

Cleaver and Cork closes

A reader alerted us to he news that the the Cleaver and Cork specialty meat and butcher shop has been sold and closed, a little more than a year after opening at the Shoppes of Woodlawn (1062 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 162-D).

Social media postings indicate the sale closed to an unnamed buyer. When we went by the store, a sign said that it closed on Feb. 15 and will continue “as a top quality butcher shop and will reopen as soon as the new owners are established.”

Cleaver and Cork describes itself as a family-owned artisanal butcher with a full line of premium meats as well as seafood, side dishes, cheese, produce, coffee, spices, charcuterie products and more.

The company is run by Chad and Audrey Stine, both former meat industry and sales representatives. They founded their first butcher shop in Sharpsburg, Ga., in 2018, then in nearby Newnan the next year. A store on Haynes Bridge Road in Alpharetta opened in late 2022.

The social media postings said “Chef Josh,” who has been working at the East Cobb location for the past year—”a dedicated employee taking it on for the team, driving the drive every day”—will be working out of the Newnan location.

Super Chix to open third Atlanta location at Avenue East Cobb

Super Chix to open Avenue East Cobb

Super Chix, a fast-casual restaurant that specializes in chicken dishes, will be opening its third location in metro Atlanta this summer at Avenue East Cobb.

North American Properties, which manages the retail center at 4475 Roswell Road, said the Texas-based franchise will occupy 3,800 square feet near the Sephora store and that the franchisee is East Cobb resident Missy Newks.

Super Chix, which features grilled chicken sandwiches (which the chain dubs “The Last True Chicken Sandwich”), hand-cut fries and frozen custards, has locations in Peachtree City and near Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody.
