East Cobb biz notes: Reveille Cafe wins Golden Spatula Award

by

Reveille Golden Spatula Award

A few restaurants in East Cobb get perfect scores of 100 on their health inspections. But only one in metro Atlanta gets a local media outlet’s Golden Spatula Award every week.

In early September, Reveille Cafe in East Cobb was presented with the award, which is given out by CBS46 Atlanta. The breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, located at the Sandy Plains Centre, was inspected on July 10 by the Cobb health department (here’s the report).

Since then, only two East Cobb restaurants have had perfect 100 scores, although a number have scores in the 90s.

Reveille Cafe is part of the J. Christopher’s group, opened in 2013.

The French Table opens on Lower Roswell

On Sept. 7 The French Table, a French-themed furniture and home decor store, held a grand opening event at 4665 Lower Roswell Road. That’s in the small retail center with Ming’s Asian Kitchen at the intersection of Woodlawn Drive.

The owner is Tracy Kreiner Barnes, a real estate agent and CEO of Luxury Homes Atlanta.

Fit Body Boot Camp opening soon

On Sept. 30, the indoor fitness chain Fit Body Boot Camp will open an East Cobb location. It will be at 1062 Johnson Ferry Road, in the Shops at Woodlawn. The local owner and operator is Anan Tanneeru, a longtime IT professional.

According to company literature, Fit Body Boot Camp “that combines bodyweight exercises and minimal equipment to create a low risk, high reward workout.”

Pita Mediterranean Street Food chain coming to East Cobb

by

East Cobb Pita Mediterranean Street Food

A location of the growing Atlanta-based Pita Mediterranean Street Food chain is coming to East Cobb.

This is at the Sandy Plains Centre (2960 Shallowford Road), in Suite 112 formerly occupied by Teriyaki Madness. Last week, Pita got an alcohol license. There’s no opening date that’s been announced yet.

Pita began in 2011 with a store in Peachtree City, and has since expanded to 20 stores in metro Atlanta and north Georgia. The East Cobb location, which is one of several slated to open soon, would be close to existing Pita restaurants near Town Center and the Marietta Square.

The eatery features Greek menu items, including pita and gyro options, and well as Middle Eastern specialties including shawarma, falafel, kafta, hummus, ganoush, rice bowls, salads, kids’ plates and desserts.

The entrees range from $7.95 to $13.99.

Restaurant news: Flying Biscuit Cafe returning to East Cobb

by

Flying Biscuit East Cobb

Several years after leaving East Cobb, the Flying Biscuit Cafe is returning.

Like Mellow Mushroom, it’s coming back to the Johnson Ferry Road corridor, albeit in another location.

After Flying Biscuit left East Cobb in 2010, its freestanding space at Woodlawn Commons was occupied by Chase Bank, next to the Fed Ex store.

There’s a sign in the window at the old La Vida Massage space at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center indicating Flying Biscuit will open soon there, but there’s not a specific date indicated.

The Flying Biscuit space at Parkaire is 3,000 square feet, according to Jamestown Limited Partners, the retail center’s management firm.

We’ve contacted Flying Biscuit and Jamestown to get more details and will update here when we get them.

Ironically, La Vida is now located in the same Woodlawn Square retail center where Flying Biscuit once had been.

Flying Biscuit announced recently it was opening in the Castleberry Hill neighborhood in Atlanta and last year opened a restaurant in Toco Hills near Decatur. It also opened a new restaurant in South Carolina and is reopening a location in Houston.

According to its website, the Atlanta-based company operates 20 restaurants in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas. Twelve of them are in metro Atlanta, including Kennesaw, Roswell and Sandy Springs.

The Loyal Tavern (formerly Loyal Q and Brew) closed up at Parkaire after less than two years in business. That space had been vacant for a few years before that. The Pollo Tropical space at Parkaire has been converted into a Regions Bank.

Other restaurants and eateries at Parkaire include Ted’s Montana Grill, Johnny’s New York Pizza, Sakura, Cold Stone Creamery, Moe’s, Subway and Taco Bell.

H/T to The Current Hub.

AJ’s Seafood and Poboys expanding to include oyster bar

by

AJ's Seafood Pobobys expanding

The former Great Clips space at the Pavilions at East Lake has been papered over for several weeks now, right next to longstanding AJ’s Seafood and Poboys, which announced this week it’s expanding with an oyster bar.

Assorted oyster selections and a full bar are planned, and the tentative opening is around Labor Day. In addition, items from AJ’s Louisiana-style fare of poboys, seafood platters, muffelata sandwiches, gumbo, salads and burgers also will be available.

Great Clips has moved a few doors down. The AJ’s oyster bar will be located at 2100 Roswell Road, Suite 2148, next to Kroger.

Five Guys plans at East Cobb Crossing OK’d by commissioners

by

East Cobb Five Guys

A Five Guys restaurant proposed for the former Del Taco location at the East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center can go ahead after site revisions were approved Tuesday by the Cobb Board of Commissioners.

The measure, which was approved unanimously as part of the commissioners’ consent agenda, includes site plan and design changes that didn’t require rezoning.

The only addition to the original case file came from the East Cobb Civic Association, which requested that the district commissioner (Bob Ott) approve a landscaping plan. That stipulation was included before the vote at Ott’s request.

Commissioners also approved via consent a special land-use permit for SZS Holdings LLC to expand a used-car parking lot on an acre at 2069 Roswell Road by 41 spaces. Among the stipulations are for a landscaping plan subject to district commissioner approval and for no vehicles to be parked on pervious surfaces.

Some East Cobb cases on Tuesday’s agenda were not heard. Among those applications that have been delayed is a request by Poag Shopping Centers, LLC, owners of The Avenue East Cobb, to change stipulations and a site plan amendment (case file here).

Poag wants to change the appearance and location of the monument sign at the entrance to the shopping center, and to alter opening hours for a fitness center from 7 a.m. to 5 a.m. The closing hours would remain at 11 p.m.

The nearby East Hampton neighborhood has objected on both counts, asking for a smaller sign and saying there’s no need for a fitness center to open at 5 a.m.

The East Cobb Civic Association has filed a letter in support of East Hampton.
