East Cobb restaurant update: Luga Italian Eatery opens at Avenue

by

Luga, East Cobb food scores

A few days after its sister, Giulia Italian Bakery, opened at Avenue East Cobb, Luga Italian Eatery has opened its doors.

It’s in the former Drift space (4,400 square feet) and is serving dinner only this week, from 5-10 p.m. Starting Monday, Luga will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

Operated by brothers Ben and Seth Gjuka, Luga features a one-page seasonal menu of antipasti, salads, Roma-style pizzas, and house-made pastas.

Giulia opened on Friday and is the second such-named bakery opened by the Gjuka brothers, following the original Peachtree Corners location. Specialty coffees and teas, Italian bakery items, sandwiches, pizzas and foccacias are on the menu.

Giulia is open at Avenue East Cobb daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Both Luga and Giulia aced their initial health inspections prior to opening.

The Gjurkas began in the restaurant industry as teenagers in Europe, primarily in Italy. After settling in the Atlanta area, they began their own food ventures in outlying Peachtree City and Newnan, where they have been living.

They started Positano Pizza Napoletana in both of those suburban areas, and there is a third location in Mableton.

There’s not an opening date set yet for another forthcoming restaurant at Avenue. Tenku Sushi Elevation will be opening in one of the new “jewel box” buildings that was part of Avenue East Cobb’s recent redevelopment.

Tenku’s first restaurant, in Woodstock, offers a variety of Japanese dishes that include nigiri and sashimi, signature rolls, robata grills, omakase, and flame-seared marinated octopus.

The Avenue East Cobb location will have a rooftop bar.

Whataburger to hold East Cobb grand opening on Monday

by

 

Another Cobb County location for Whataburger will open in East Cobb next Monday.

The Texas-based hamburger chain announced that the restaurant will open on Monday, Dec. 1, at 9 a.m. at 3550 Sandy Plains Road.

That’s in the former O’Charley’s space, and Whataburger will be open 24/7, 364 days a year, serving breakfast items from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. daily.

The only day of the year it’s closed? Christmas Day.

The first 100 customers on opening day will get free Whataburger swag bags and either a free Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit or Breakfast Taquito (both available till 11 a.m.)

It’s been a little more than a year since Cobb commissioners approved a site plan change for Whataburger, which also has a location on Cobb Parkway in Akers Mill Square that opened in July.

Whataburger also has two locations near Town Center and KSU and just over the Cobb line in Woodstock and in Roswell.

Whataburger has been converting the former O’Charley’s building into a 7,000-square-foot fast-food restaurant with double drive-through service.

Stipulations approved for the O’Charley’s rezoning in 1999 included restrictions against those uses.

“Since that time, the world has become a different place,” said Kevin Moore, an attorney for Whataburger, explaining back in August 2024 about a built-up corridor with several commercial and retail complexes.

O’Charley’s closed in 2023 on former Gordy Family land that is subject to an architectural control committee, which approved landscaping before county commissioners formally signed off on the Whataburger property conversion.

“Instead of a dark O’Charley’s, we have a brand new Whataburger.”

Whataburger also had plans to open in Vinings but withdrew a rezoning request this fall after community opposition arose.

That wasn’t the case with the East Cobb location, situated on a busy outparcel at Sandy Plains and Shallowford Road.

“We’re so proud to be the team introducing Whataburger’s bold, fresh flavors to the people of Marietta,” Whataburger Operating Partner Jeffrey Bollman said in a company release.

“No more trekking to Buford or Alpharetta. You can get your Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits, Bacon & Cheese Whataburgers and Dr Pepper shakes, right here at 3550 Sandy Plains Road NE. We made this Whataburger restaurant for you, just like we make every order exactly the way you like it.”

The East Cobb Whataburger will have 85 local employees the company calls “family members.”

In addition to drive-through and dining room service there also will be curbside pickup and delivery via the Whataburger App and Whataburger.com.

Whataburger also aced its initial health inspection a couple weeks ago.

East Cobb Restaurant Update: Ducks Burger Bar relocating

by

East Cobb Restaurant Update: Ducks Burger Bar relocating

After opening in 2023 in a small takeout space at the East Marietta Shopping Center, Ducks Burger Bar is moving a little further east.

A sign has gone up over restaurant space at the Pavilions at East Lake Shopping Center next to J. Christopher’s, and another sign has been in the window for a few weeks announcing the relocation.

Ducks Burger Bar serves up a variety of gourmet burgers, Brazilian-style, from a small cinderblock building facing the parking lot at East Marietta (1485 Roswell Road). Ducks Burger Bar

On occasion there have been some picnic tables set out but otherwise service is to-go.

But the East Lake space is 6,850 square feet, with plenty of dining room. There weren’t any interior renovations that have been going on; East Cobb News has left a message with Ducks Burger Bar to get more information.

That space has been empty for at least a couple of years; a seafood place had been announced following the closure of AJ’s but never opened. Only the nearby Kroger is bigger at East Lake.

In addition to J. Christopher’s, East Lake has a variety of restaurants and eateries that include Mezza Luna, Cafe Rivkah, Ege Sushi and Taichi Bubble Tea.

At the Ducks Instagram page (which features videos and photos of massive burgers), they’ve been touting the new location, albeit all in Portuguese.

East Cobb restaurant update: Giulia, Luga openings announced

by

Luga, East Cobb food scores

We’ve had a message in for a couple weeks about this, and just got confirmation today about two long-awaited twin Italian-themed restaurants/eateries at Avenue East Cobb:

“This Friday, Giulia, an authentic Italian bakery and patisserie, opens at East Cobb’s favorite gathering spot, building on the success of its first location at The Forum Peachtree Corners. Known for its commitment to natural, high-quality ingredients, Giulia serves signature pastries such as delicate croissants and savory sandwiches alongside expertly crafted coffee drinks from bold espressos and smooth macchiatos to frothy cappuccinos. The 900-square-foot space is nestled between Barre3 and Luga, the owners’ forthcoming Italian restaurant.

“Following Giulia’s debut, the Gjuka brothers will introduce their newest concept, Luga, opening to the public on November 24. Spanning 4,400 square feet, the Italian restaurant pairs casual elegance with layered textures, natural materials, and lush botanicals to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Its seasonal menu showcases fresh antipasti, crisp salads, Roma-style pizzas, and house-made pastas – each crafted with the same dedication to quality that defines the brothers’ culinary approach.”

That message came from Jamestown, Avenue’s property manager. It’s been a little more than a year since the Gjuka brothers announced they would be occupying the former Drift space with accompanying concepts.

Last week Giulia and Luga had their first health inspections, which occasionally take place before an official opening.

Giulia’s hours are daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., similar to the Peachtree Corners location.

There’s not an opening date set yet for another forthcoming restaurant at Avenue. Tenku Sushi Elevation will be opening in one of the new “jewel box” buildings that was part of Avenue East Cobb’s recent redevelopment.

Tenku’s first restaurant, in Woodstock, offers a variety of Japanese dishes that include nigiri and sashimi, signature rolls, robata grills, omakase, and flame-seared marinated octopus.

The Avenue East Cobb location will have a rooftop bar.
