It’s official: Che Butter Jonez has opened on LaVista Road in Brookhaven. The popular restaurant, which opened its doors on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, is currently serving customers. The new spot is Che Butta Jonez’ second brick-and-mortar location after they moved southwest Atlanta.
The owners announced this past summer that they were leaving their former digs, saying, “but we’re headed in a direction that brings about opportunities we could have never imagined, so we live the dream we dare to dream!”
Co-owner Detric Fox-Quinlan said on Instagram that the restaurant would initially serve a limited menu.
“We’re going to ease into the week with just the staples,” she said. “So, for breakfast, beef, bacon, egg and cheese; beef, sausage, bacon and cheese; turkey sausage, egg and cheese; pastrami egg and cheese.”
When it’s ready, the expanded menu will include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, with new items like salmon and shrimp bowls, along with favorites like the lamb burger and pastrami-topped “Patti LaBelle” patty melt. Bodega-style sandwiches will be available for breakfast, and the restaurant will offer craft soda, bottled beer and wine, and a small grocery area with staples and grab-and-go items. Events like Singo (singing BINGO) and Wednesday night fish and spaghetti will continue.
Where Is Che Butter Jonez Brookhaven Located?
Located at 1602 Lavista Road NE, in the former Coffee Bar Atlanta space, the new 2,954-square-foot Che Butter Jonez will more than double the size of the Cleveland Avenue location and accommodate five times the number of people. Here’s a map to help you find it.
The restaurant features large garage-style windows, a stage at the front, and décor similar to the original, with bright and inviting colors and wood elements.
Rhasaan and Fox-Quinlan started Che Butter Jonez as a food truck in 2018. Named after Rhasaan’s online alias, the truck gained popularity with its tagline, “I cook better than your muva!” and rotating dishes like the lamb burger and the Bodega breakfast sandwich.
In 2021, the couple opened their brick-and-mortar restaurant on Cleveland Avenue. Now, they’ve moved to North Atlanta for greater success.
Final Word
The couple’s first brick-and-mortar location location opened in June 2021 at 757 Cleveland Ave., just minutes from their home. They are also working on an upscale restaurant and bar called Butter + Scotch, slated to open in a hotel on Mitchell Street later this year.
Cool events takes place every year when it’s hot. And that’s when Atlanta is at its best. Every Atlanta weekend has something cool to do. The city has a thriving cultural, food, sports and music scene, with venues like the Tabernacle and the Fox Theatre hosting concerts and shows throughout the year.

Gumbo is often made with a flavorful base called a roux (a mixture of flour and fat) that’s cooked until it develops a deep, nutty flavor. The combination of spices like cayenne, thyme, paprika, and bay leaves adds layers of complexity.
The largest city in the Southeast – Atlanta – has a few things to do as well. An Atlanta weekend is one to remember.

Here’s what one reviewer says about The Ashford. “Very tasty drinks, small plates and entrees. Really enjoyed the unique flavors. Fun bar area, and patio space. You can go for drinks/apps and eat enough to fill you for dinner. A lot of choices on small plates and I enjoy being able to try several different things. I tried the fondue with pears and ricotta olive spread which was amazing, ate it too fast to take a pic. Loved the salad dressing and the meatball – especially the sauce on it!!! The short rib paired so well with onion and mushrooms. Dessert was a rich and delicious dark chocolate pot de crème, perfect for sharing. I’ll be back soon, so many more things to try.”
Atlas
88 W Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305 | (404) 600-6471
One of the most inviting culinary atmosphere in all of Atlanta, Atlas is a place you definitely want to try. Located in the Regis Hotel in Buckhead, Atlas is an elegant choice with excellent service and a top-notch ambiance.
Here’s what one customer says about Atlas. “Beautiful and elegant is the simple way to describe Atlas. I loved the selection of wine and champagne. The service was good. The ambiance was very romantic and relaxing. The food taste and presentation was perfect. There was a slight mix up with the server asking if we wanted another drink from the menu or something, but we bought a bottle of champagne so all the server had to do was replenish our glasses from the champagne bottle. I forgot to get my ticket validated so instead of 15 for valet parking it was 25. Still not bad for Atlanta parking.”
Bones
3130 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305 (404) 237-2663
Bones is one of the best steakhouses that Atlanta has ever had. With that being said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the stellar seafood the menu.
Here’s what one reviewer says about Bones. “Great food! Great service! One of my favorite steak houses. I love a good lobster bisque and with Bones you can taste the sherry. The baby octopus salad with sherry was incredible. The sherry vinaigrette was light and flavorful. I am very particular about octopus and I can say the octopus here is one of my favorites. The bone in rib-eye was marbled nicely and had lots of flavor. If you haven’t been you must visit.”

Excellent vibe, fantastic food, best Manhattan I’ve ever had, love being by the water and out waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and products. I rate 5 stars when establishments meet my every day expectations but places like this make me want to rate every days a 3 so my 5’s are super special. Having been to many higher end restaurants, I can tell you this is a top for me country wide.”

Another steakhouse makes our list. Chops is a Buckhead favorite and perfect for an anniversary dinner or even for the bride and groom.
Here’s what one reviewer says about Chops: “Went here on a work dinner and it was really good. The table ordered the cold seafood appetizer which is HUGE, I liked everything on it but the oysters (I won’t touch those things). I was in the mood for chicken so that’s what I ordered and the rest of the table ordered steak. Everyone enjoyed their meals and their drinks. It’s definitely a pricey place so it’s not a place we can frequent often, but if you can, it’s worth it.”

Atlanta music legend and entrepreneur Usher Raymond is playing a key role in bringing a national hot chicken sensation to Georgia.
Usher, along with several franchise partners, hosted a soft opening for a new Dave’s Hot Chicken location at 1447 Hwy. 138 SE in Conyers on Thursday, August 29. The restaurant officially opened its doors on Friday.
“Dave’s Hot Chicken is some of the best hot chicken I’ve ever had. I’m thrilled to be involved with the brand and to bring their delicious tenders and sliders to the people of Atlanta,” Usher shared in a statement.
For its soft opening, Usher treated customers to a nighttime drone show, which illuminated the words “Let it Burn,” a hit from the singer.
The R&B star is especially hyped about this being the first Dave’s Hot Chicken location in the Atlanta area, saying, “I’m excited to open Atlanta’s first Dave’s Hot Chicken and look forward to everyone from my hometown trying it.”
In addition to the Conyers location, there are plans for eight more Dave’s Hot Chicken spots across metro Atlanta, though the exact locations have not yet been announced.
Dave’s Hot Chicken, which specializes in spicy chicken tenders and sliders, began as a pop-up in California in 2017. Since then, eatery has grown exponentially across America and Canada.
The restaurant has several celebrity investors, including rapper Drake and actor Samuel L. Jackson.
One week ago, Usher’s mom, Jonnetta Patton, opened a new Atlanta restaurant that specializes in barbecue.
J’s BBQ is the bomb. I’ve tried it twice now. As for Dave’s, we will have to wait and see if Dave’s can find a place among Atlanta’s best chicken sandwich restaurants.
