  • Jerry owns Chick-fil-A in Brookhaven and Buckhead

    Chick-Fil-A Opens In Brookhaven

    2 Min Read

    Brookhaven has a new Chick-fil-A, which will give Atlanta residents yet another location to get their delicious chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.

    The Brookhaven restaurant is owned by  Jerry Goebeler, a University of Georgia graduate who started working at Chick-fil-A as a team member and rose through the ranks. He already owns one Chick-fil-A in Buckhead. The Brookhaven location is his second.

    Now Serving In Brookhaven: Chick-fil-A

    “My goal as an Operator of two Chick-fil-A restaurants is for every guest to receive quality service, and Chick-fil-A Brookhaven provides another opportunity to create a positive influence with all who come in contact with our restaurants,” Goebeler said.

    When Is The Brookhaven Chick-fil-A Opening?

    The Brookhaven Chick-fil-A opened April 13, 2023. The fast-food joint is currently serving customers for dine-in and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. 

    Reviews of the new restaurant have already come in. Here’s what one of the first customers had to say:

    “For the First Day it is already great! I expect nothing better Jerry! This is Jerry’s second location, he is a great operator I expect to come a lot. I think it is great he Gave the “First 100” cards to local schools and teachers! This one WILL be a success! Great food and great job!”

    Where Is The Brookhaven Chick-fil-A Located?

    The eatery is located at 4046 Peachtree Rd NE, Brookhaven, GA 30319. Here is a map to help you find it.


    Final Piece

    Chick-Fil-A has a cult-like following among Southerners familiar with the chain. That’s why the quick-serve restaurant is the most popular when it comes to customer service.

    Aside from the great service, we hear Chick-fil-A has a secret menu. Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone.

    There’s no two ways about it. Chick-fil-A is an Atlanta foodie institution, but it’s not the only one. Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene continues to grow with no stops on the horizon. Ready to try something new?

    Open Now in Atlanta: Nàdair

    Gillespie, the owner of Gunshow, opened the new restaurant called Nàdair in DeKalb County.

    “So the wildcat is finally out of the bag! It’s true, we are currently working on a new restaurant slated for next year. Nàdair (from the Scots Gaelic “Dòigh Nàdair” meaning “the way of nature” and pronounced “nuh-DARE”),” Gillespie said in a post on social media. 

    He said that the eatery will be “the next chapter in a story we began many years ago at Woodfire Grill. I have been hoping to one day be able to return to the rustic elegance of live fire cooking, paired with a service style marked by intentionality and humility.”

    Where Will Nàdair Be Located?

    Nàdair will be housed in the space formerly occupied by Floataway Cafe at 1123 Zonolite Rd, NW Ste. 15, Atlanta, Ga. 30306. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    Gillespie said that more details about the new joint, including images and menus, will be revealed after the new year.

    D’Juan’s New Orleans Bistro: What To Know Before You Go

    Owner Donald Williams is a longtime Atlanta resident and owner of Williams Accounting & Consulting, an accounting firm with offices in Atlanta and New Orleans. Recently, his book, The Suitless CEO: How Becoming Unconventional Transformed My Life & Business hit the Amazon Best Seller list, after being endorsed by former Shark Tank cast member Kevin Harrington.

    “I love Atlanta, but it’s hard as a New Orleans native to get that taste of home in Metro Atlanta,” 
    Williams said in a news release. “There’s not that many places where someone can go and get those classic New Orleans flavors, which is why I decided to open D’Juan’s New Orleans Bistro.”

    • And more!

    Williams said he is used to bringing that Louisiana flavor to those that know him.

    “Not only is it difficult for me to find the types of cuisine that I grew up with, but also when I cook New
    Orleans-style cuisine at home, I always have to make a lot because all of my family and friends here in
    Atlanta will want those flavors.”

    After you taste it, D’Juan’s is sure to be one of the best New Orleans-style restaurants in metro Atlanta.

    Here Are The Best Tex-Mex Restaurants In Atlanta

    4 Min Read

    With Atlanta’s Tex-Mex restaurants offer the best cuisine from Mexico and America. Tacos, but with a twist? You’ve heard about it, but perhaps you’ve never tasted it. 

    This article will show you some of the best Atlanta restaurants for Tex-Mex cuisine.

    What’s The Difference Between Tex-Mex And Mexican Food?

    The difference between Tex-Mex and Mexican food may be one of semantics to many people: Mexican food quite naturally encompasses the food and culture inspired by a whole country, while Tex-Mex are the select Mexican dishes popularized and influenced by Texas sensibilities.

    With all that said, Tex-Mex has some ingredients that you can find in many American cupboards and kitchen tables, while Mexican food has more hard-to-find products and is thus more exclusive.

    Best Tex-Mex Food In Atlanta: What The People Say

    Let’s look at some Atlanta restaurants with the best tacos according to the people. These eateries all have reviews with them so you can see how real customers feel about the place.

    Red Pepper Taqueria has the best Tex-Mex food in Atlanta

    Here’s what one customer says about Red Pepper Taqueria: “The queso dip was good, but on the thick side. The salmon taco was soggy & had no taste. The lamb taco was the best thing I had. What made this place a bad experience was the wait staff. They were weird acting & we felt really rushed & unwelcome. The busboys were really nice tho. I wouldn’t go here again. Tin Lizzy’s is a million times better.”

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Superica: “Wow! Talk about the place to be on a Friday night. I highly recommend putting your name on this list 30-45 before you want to eat, but it will be worth the wait. Cool decor, atmosphere was positive and up beat. We got a text saying our table was ready, before we knew it we were greeted by Randall who was very knowledgeable of the menu. We received our drinks and guacamole rather quickly. You MUST try the tequila martini, because it is good.”

    Final Word

    When it comes to Tex-Mex, the best Atlanta restaurants have a knack for presentation and with creativity.

    Tex-Mex food is delicious in that it uses many foods that other cuisines don’t. Try not to overdo it with the shredded cheese, beans and hot peppers. At the same time, it’s delicious.

    Aside from Tex-Mex and Mexican eateries, Atlanta also has trendy restaurants that continue to draw big crowds.

    Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene continues to grow with no stops on the horizon. Ready to try something new?
