Atlanta’s place as a mecca of black-owned food spaces continues to grow across the metro area. Next up is The Hall at Ashford Lane, a food hall, planned for Dunwoody.

The Hall at Ashford Lane is set to open its much-anticipated food hall this week in Dunwoody. Guests can look forward to nine food stalls along with multiple full-service options.

Spanning 17,000 square feet, The Hall at Ashford Lane boasts an expansive bar stocked with a curated wine list, craft beers and handcrafted cocktails. The bar is already being called “the biggest bar in Georgia.”

Dunwoody Food Hall Set To Open

Ashford Lane is a new mixed-use complex that features restaurants, retail, offices and residences all at its Perimeter Place location. JLL, a real estate company, is heading the design.

Jamal Wilson is the mastermind behind the new food hall and event space concept, which will be spread across 17,000 square feet and feature 10 restaurants.

Wilson has previously opened food halls in Orlando and Tampa and is set to debut another one in New Orleans this fall.

At The Hall at Ashford Lane, Wilson is looking for restaurants that can keep up in a food hall-style environment.

“Can the chef handle the volume?” Wilson told The Atlanta Business Chronicle. “Are they used to working with a community of other chefs? We look at a person more for their technical expertise than for a specific type of cuisine.”

When Will The Hall At Ashford Lane Open?

Wilson is reportedly projecting a November 2022 opening for The Hall at Ashford Lane, but he’s a busy man.

His hands are also full with another local food hall, The Grove, which will be built in Snellville. The Grove will be a 19,000 square food food hall and event space with 12 restaurants.

Guests who drive to the structure will find a state-of-the-art 300-unit parking garage for their vehicle.

“We are thrilled to bring the first food hall to Dunwoody,” Wilson said in a written statement. “Our mission is to create a vibrant and inclusive space where people can come together to savor exceptional food, enjoy refreshing beverages, and celebrate life’s moments. We are excited to welcome the community to experience the wide range of culinary offerings and the unmatched ambiance that The Hall at Ashford Lane has to offer.”
