Grindhouse Killer Burgers, the beloved Atlanta-born chain famous for its custom-blended burgers, is set to fire up its newest location in the Upper Westside this week.
The restaurant officially opens its doors on Wednesday, January 14, at 1221 Chattahoochee Avenue, right at the bustling corner of Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard and Chattahoochee Avenue.
Free Burgers at the Grand Opening
To mark the grand opening, the first 100 guests through the door will score a free Grindhouse Style Jr. Burger—loaded with American cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, pickles, and that signature Grindhouse sauce.
If you’re a true Atlanta burger fan, you’d know that this marks the brand’s sixth standalone spot in the metro area, owned and operated by partners Alex Brounstein and Johnny Farrow.
Spanning a generous 7,000 square feet on a prime corner parcel next to Selig Enterprises’ The Works development, the new Grindhouse offers plenty of dedicated parking for dine-in guests and easy takeout pickup—perfect for the neighborhood’s mix of families, workers, and visitors.
Since Brounstein launched the first Grindhouse at the historic Sweet Auburn Curb Market back in 2009, the brand has built a loyal following with its proprietary Certified Angus Beef blend of chuck and brisket.
Burgers come in creative signature styles or fully customizable, with options like the recent addition of grilled chicken breast as a protein choice. Sides, hot dogs, salads, and a solid lineup of drinks round out the menu.
“The Upper Westside has a strong sense of community, and it felt like the right place for our next location,” said Brounstein. “The rooftop is an important part of our restaurants, and this one was designed as a comfortable place to enjoy good food and drinks. We’re looking forward to serving the Upper Westside.”
Designed by Studio SOGO Architecture, the two-story building delivers versatile vibes: the ground floor provides spacious indoor and covered outdoor seating geared toward quick-service meals and family-friendly dining. Upstairs (21+ only), you’ll find a full-service rooftop bar and shaded patio—ideal for catching games on multiple large-screen TVs, lingering over drinks, or soaking in the views.
Beyond its standalone spots across Atlanta and Athens, Grindhouse has airport outposts in Concourses T and D at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The brand also ramps up with catering, a food truck, and partnerships like serving fans at University of Georgia games at Sanford Stadium. In 2025, they boosted their presence at Truist Park with three locations, including the Outfield Market and sections 315 and 335.
“Alex and Johnny have built an iconic Atlanta brand, and we are excited to welcome them as a tenant in the Selig portfolio,” said Mindy Selig, Co-CEO of Selig Enterprises. “This location is the perfect place for Grindhouse and they are a great addition to the community.”
When it opens, the Upper Westside Grindhouse will operate Wednesday through Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. (closed Tuesdays, based on the provided details).
