It’s been an especially cold winter for local eateries as another Atlanta-area restaurant says it is closing its doors. Cast Iron restaurant in Old Fourth Ward is closing in the coming weeks.
On the eatery’s Facebook page, management apologized for discontinuing its beloved cheeseburger then told patrons the bad news:
“I recognize that Cast Iron’s cheeseburger was a well loved menu item and that for it to be removed without any warning was inconsiderate. Our burger was listed in the top 100 dishes in Atlanta last year, about which I am both appreciative and humbled. At the end of 2017, we had to make some tough decisions, and when the dust settled our burger was no longer available. Many showed their support for this restaurant since day one by ordering that burger, and I’ll always appreciate that.
Great News! For the next several weeks, we’ll be serving bacon cheeseburgers!
Not so great news: at the end of those weeks, Cast Iron will be closing its doors for good.”
Cast Iron restaurant was opened by chef/owner Evan Cordes in November 2016. Since then the Highland Avenue spot drew and dedicated crowd who came to love the atmosphere and eats.
Two weeks ago, One Midtown Kitchen announced that it would close on March 4. The good thing though is that more restaurants are opening.
