Parkaire update: Moe's closes; Flying Biscuit opening TBA

Moe's Parkaire closes

A reader alerted us to the closure of the Moe’s Southwest Grill at Parkaire Landing, which occurred in late October, after nearly 20 years in business.

ToNeTo Atlanta reported over the weekend that it’s the second Moe’s in East Cobb to close recently, along with a location at Shallowford Corners Shopping Center.

As for the Parkaire space, the standalone building at 688 Johnson Ferry Road, between Tijuana Joe’s and Regions Bank, will soon become a gusto! quick-serve spot.

Based in Atlanta, gusto! has seven restaurants in the area and recently opened at Avalon in Alpharetta. The menu includes salads, bowls and wraps, many with Tex-Mex ingredients.

A long-awaited restaurant opening at Parkaire is reportedly getting closer but there’s still no specific date that’s been announced.

That’s the Flying Biscuit Cafe, slated to open in winter 2020. The restaurant’s social media accounts have been updating with new photos and related postings—chicken and waffles have been added to chain’s menu.

The restaurant received its business license today, but for now the opening date is still TBA.

Flying Biscuit announced its return to East Cobb last August, and was preparing to open this past spring when COVID-19 came. An old “coming soon” sign has been taken down, and it looks as though some renovating work is still continuing.

They’re updating on their Facebook page.
