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.
