About OutKast
OutKast is the greatest music group to come out of Atlanta. That is not a question. What is also not arguable is the fact that André “André 3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton are largely responsible for the mainstream acceptance of Southern hip-hop.
Since the founding of OutKast on the corner of Headland and Delowe Drive in East Point, Georgia, the rappers have shaped the culture like no other.

Chain restaurants are having a tough time of late, and it’s hitting close to home for Georgia residents. Red Lobster recently announced that it was shutting down several locations across the nation, including some in Georgia.

In Georgia, specifically metro Atlanta, these Red Lobsters are closing their doors permanently.
- 1050 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell
- 1956 W. Broad Street, Athens

The restaurant announced the news days before Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy.
Why Is Red Lobster In Financial Trouble?
Red Lobster has run into financial difficulty after trying to avoid bankruptcy last year. The brand was purchased in 2016 by Thai Union, which had a minority stake in 2020 when the pandemic struck.

With the recent announcement that Chili’s is closing down in several U.S. cities, it stands to reason that there may be some trepidation among Atlanta foodies as to whether the popular restaurant will remain open in the metro area.
If you recall, some local Chili’s restaurants have already closed their doors around Atlanta.
- In 2019, the Chili’s at Lindbergh at 2440 Piedmont Rd in Buckhead closed for good.
- In June 2023, the Chili’s at 3625 Dallas Highway in West Cobb shut down.
- In August 2023, Chili’s at 4784 Ashford Dunwoody Road closed its doors.
Will Chili’s In Atlanta Remain Open?
It’s too early to tell whether any other Chili’s locations in Atlanta will close permanently, but with the recent reductions in business, it makes sense that more closures are on the way. Red Lobster is also closing some Atlanta-area locations.
With nearly 50 locations, Chili’s had its largest presence in Atlanta just two years ago.

As of now, there are a handful of Chili’s restaurants in Atlanta.
