Gusto East Cobb summer opening

We got an update from a representative of the forthcoming gusto! casual eatery at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center, who says the opening is generally slated for the summer.

There’s not a date or more specific time range that’s been announced, and initial renovations are underway.

gusto! (it’s smaller case g) will occupy the former space of Moe’s Southwest Grill (688 Johnson Ferry Road), which closed in November.

The Atlanta-based chain, which has seven other locations, is making its foray into East Cobb. The menu includes salads, bowls and wraps, many with Tex-Mex ingredients. Here are more details about what you’ll be able to order:

“a choice of four base options: crisp mixed greens, seasoned brown rice, half and half or a steamed flatbread wrap topped with a grilled protein (such as grilled chicken, umami tofu, shrimp or new baby bellas) and a gusto! – a signature flavor profile, with choices including chipotle mango avocado, ginger lime peanut, chile sesame barbeque, tahini cucumber feta, sweet soy sriracha and tzatziki lemon artichoke. Each order comes with house-made sweet potato chips and in addition to the traditional menu, gusto! East Cobb will offer family meal and meal prep options along with catering.”

The gusto! East Cobb spot will have outdoor dining and “limited indoor dining” when it opens, and will be the second such location with drive-through ordering.

The hours will be Sunday from 10:30 AM to 10PM for lunch and dinner, and delivery will be availalble through select third-party partners.

“Our goal is to truly permeate the community and its subcultures within sports, churches, schools and beyond. We look forward to representing something different and becoming ingrained as an East Cobber brand,” gusto! founder Nate Hybl said.
