Five Guys wants to open in East Cobb at closed Del Taco site

by

East Cobb Five Guys

East Cobb may get its first Five Guys restaurant soon, pending action later this month by the Cobb Board of Commissioners.

We saw an “Other Business” item in the Aug. 20 agenda files for a franchise location at the former Del Taco restaurant in the East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center (4269 Roswell Road).

The nationwide chain featuring hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, French fries and milkshakes has three current Cobb locations and another in Sandy Springs.

ECC Outparcel, LLC is seeking signage and other design changes that don’t require rezoning, but must be signed off by commissioners. The outparcel site and shopping center were zoned for planned shopping center use in 1998.

In 2015 Del Taco got county permission to amend certain signage stipulations. The Five Guys amendment is asking to continue the signage uses permitted when Del Taco was open, and says in its application that “no change of use, occupancy or construction type is proposed.”

Five Guys also says in the case file it’s not proposing any new signage “in locations not previously approved” by commissioners for use by previous tenants.

The case file (you can read it here) includes other renderings in addition to the one at the top, as well as other design proposals and parking configurations.

Five Guys opened in the Washington, D.C. area in 1986 and now has more than 1,500 locations, with nearly as many planned in expansion.

Johnson Ferry Mellow Mushroom opening set for late fall

by

Johnson Ferry Mellow Mushroom opening

Because readers have been asking—and we’ve been wondering too—when the Mellow Mushroom location on Johnson Ferry Road will be opening, we asked the company.

Via a social media message, we were told sometime in the late fall, but no specific date was given.

Little has happened at the former Common Quarter/Muss & Turner’s space at Woodlawn Square since the sign went up in April, but now a contractor’s sign has been placed in the window, and some construction materials were sitting near the entrance.

When it opens, it will be the third Mellow Mushroom in East Cobb—to go with restaurants on Shallowford Road and Powers Ferry Road—and will be returning just north along Johnson Ferry from where the chain operated at the formerFountains at Olde Towne shopping center.

Rose and Crown Tavern closing for 2 years in Restaurant Row redevelopment

by

Rose and Crown, East Cobb Restaurant Row rezoning, Rose and Crown Tavern closing

This has been anticipated for a few months now, and it’s official: The Rose and Crown Tavern on Powers Ferry Road has announced its temporary closure.

The last remaining survivor of “Restaurant Row” will close next Saturday, July 13, for a two-year period as the cluster of restaurant buildings makes way for a new mixed-use development.

Rose and Crown will be part of that project, with expanded space in a retail component in a 578,000-square foot complex that will include a 280-unit apartment building and 171 senior-living units.

The rezoning for the 8.8-acre project was approved last August. The project is being developed by Greystar Development Group of Atlanta.

Ground is expected to be broken this month for the project. The apartment building is being called Elan at Powers Ferry, and the senior homes will be called Overture Powers Ferry.

Miguel Ayoub opened Rose and Crown in 2010 with his wife at a former La Madeleine restaurant at 1931 Powers Ferry Road. In the new development, the Rose and Crown space will take up 6,000 square feet of a planned 10,0000-square foot retail center.

The property is near the Wildwood Office Park, but other restaurant concepts nearby have come and gone: A Sal Grosso Brazilian steakhouse, TGI Friday’s and Famous Dave’s.

While Rose and Crown is shuttered, the Ayoubs will be running Mojave, a casual Latin restaurant at the former Ray’s Rio Bravo at 6450 Powers Ferry Road, just across the river in Sandy Springs.

A late July opening date for Mojave is planned.

Company spokeswoman Kristen Kellum told East Cobb News there’s not a definite grand opening date yet, although a media preview event is slated for early July.

It’s going to be located in the former Gigi’s Cupcakes space at 1281 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 116, between Mirko Pasta and Bar Method.

Here’s what Duck Donuts, which has two other franchises in Atlanta, is about:

Customers can create their own donut combination by choosing from a variety of coatings, toppings and drizzles, including traditional favorites such as chocolate icing with sprinkles and more adventurous creations such as maple icing with bacon.

The family-friendly stores offer a viewing area where children and adults alike can watch their donuts being made from scratch to finish. Duck Donuts also sells coffee, tea, donut breakfast sandwiches and more.

East Cobb restaurant update: Loyal Tavern closes at Parkaire

by

East Cobb Loyal Tavern closes

We got a tip over the weekend that Loyal Tavern—originally known as Loyal Q and Brew—has closed its doors at the Parkaire Landing Shopping Center.

There’s no word on when the restaurant shut its doors, and there’s no mention on its social media accounts or the restaurant group’s website.

There is this sign on the front door:

The renamed restaurant opened only in March, replacing a smokehouse restaurant with tavern fare and a sports bar theme.

The Loyal Q owners were behind the successful Taco Mac chain when they opened Loyal Q in East Cobb in August 2017.

Last year they opened the first Loyal Tavern in downtown Roswell, and what is now the only remaining Loyal Q in Alpharetta.

The East Cobb location was in a competitive area for both concepts. Close by on Lower Roswell Road are Sam’s BBQ-1 and Bradley’s Bar and Grill.

Also nearby in the Johnson Ferry corridor is the Suburban Tap.

East Cobb restaurant update: Los Bravos opens on Johnson Ferry Road

by

Los Bravos Johnson Ferry Road

Last week the Los Bravos Mexican Restaurant group relocated a second location in East Cobb, in the spot formerly occupied by Zeal (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, in the Market Plaza Shopping Center), after moving it from 1360 Powers Ferry Road.

That’s where the MarketPlace Terrell Mill development is slated to go, and what was called Los Bravos #1 closed in January.

Los Bravos has been open since April 7 on Johnson Ferry, and the hours are the same as the old place—11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., seven days a week. There’s not a website for now, but the phone is 770-916-1776.

Those are the same hours for the other nearby Los Bravos restaurant, at 2125 Roswell Road, in the East Lake Shopping Center.

More openings . . .

Also now open, at the Pavilions at East Lake (2100 Roswell Road, Suite 2114) is Kayhill’s Sports Bar and Grill, adjacent to the J. Christopher’s.

Plans have been in the works for several months by former Marietta Billiard Club owner James Kayhill to open another sports bar-themed spot with billiards and poker tables and dart boards, along with big screen TVs.

Live entertainment is coming soon. The menu includes daily specials and extensive beer, wine and cocktail selections, and there’s a daily Happy Hour from 2-7 pm.

. . . and a grand reopening

The Chick-fil-A at Woodlawn Square opened this morning, as we’ve noted several times over the months it was closed for remodeling. The hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

Coming attractions

From the ICYMI files, just across the Woodlawn Square parking lot will soon mark the return of Mellow Mushroom to the Johnson Ferry Road corridor. We don’t have an estimated time of opening yet, but will post that as soon as we find out.

Mellow Mushroom returning to Johnson Ferry corridor of East Cobb

by

Mellow Mushroom Johnson Ferry Road

The space in the Woodlawn Square Shopping Center that’s been the site for a number of failed restaurants over the years will soon be filled by a pizza chain that’s returning to the Johnson Ferry Road area.

Signs are up for Mellow Mushroom over what had been most recently Muss & Turner’s and Common Quarter. The 5,200 square feet of space at 1205 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 101, has been vacant for more than a year, since Muss & Turner’s closed abruptly.

Mellow Mushroom locations still exist on Shallowford Road and Powers Ferry Road, but the chain left this particular part of the community when the Fountains at Olde Towne closed to give way to the Northside Hospital East Cobb Medical Center.

The announcement comes as the Chick-fil-A store at Woodlawn Square is set to reopen on Monday, after a nine-month renovation.

Woodlawn Square is managed by Retail Planning Corp., located at Paper Mill Village.
