Well, at least it's not an Applebee's, right? Right??

Is Macs really a restaurant or is it a beer emporium that has some food?

Is Macs really a restaurant or is it a beer emporium that has some food?

Irish and British cuisine is not the most dynamic. I did eat there once. It's perfectly fine. I'd eat there again. The food is better than average, but at the end of the day, I guess I will use the same line I used about the rotis chicken place: there is only so much grubber love I can appropriate for Irish food. That being said, I'll take some shepherd's pie right now.

It's better than most bar food, definitely. I recommend it.

Something called OTP Grill is opening or has opened at the intersection of Old Alabama and Holcomb Bridge. Just saw it yesterday while running errands. I'll keep an eye out to see if it's open.

I saw that myself. Both of the local rags had brief write-ups. When I Googled the chef, it looks like he was head chef at a Charleston restaurant that has gotten a lot of positive buzz. I think the other paper said their “soft opening” is tomorrow and their Grand Opening this weekend. Yet their very poor Facebook page has somebody saying they ate there last weekend plus pictures of the kitchen preparing food.

Their FB page basically keeps asking how excited everyone is, but gives almost no hint whatsoever to the menu. No hours are listed and there is a link to a website that does not exist. Hopefully they are better at food than social media. I also saw an ad where they want servers with ink. Seems to discriminate against hard working people without tats. L5P in uOTPia?

I'm not much into talking on the phone. MoT, can you give them a jingle and see what up? (678) 585-0067

Places that have either very recently opened or should be soon. Ibiza Bar and Grill. Have not been, know little but it’s in the same shopping center as Dolphin Pizza. I think it may be in the location of the old Veranda restaurants (yes plurual).

Basilico, a Mediterranean and Italian restaurant on Atlanta Street in Roswell, Clock Tower in the short-lived Dominick’s and previously Sugo location. It is from the owner of Cedar’s the long-time Lenox popular spot though now RIP.

Tutto Restaurant & Bar, Elizabeth Way and Alpharetta Street in the dining Mecca that downtown Roswell hath become.

The old Blackstone's location in Vinings (S. Atlanta Rd. ITP) is being built out again. It looks like some kind of tavern, but there was no signage up.

Hola! on highway 9 and Grimes bridge is supposed to open this week. It's been "coming soon!" for awhile now.

it was the same way when it opened in Decatur (now closed). it took so long that the joke was it was called "The Coming Soon"

Kudos to downtown Alpharetta trying to become the next Canton Street, not to mention the impending serious competition from Avalon. It's actually a bit closer for me even though I live in the Roz. Opening today, hopefully a promising newcomer is South Main Kitchen. It's owned by the former GM of the good, but not all that great Salt and has a young chef who it appears is her first gig as head chef. https://www.facebook.com/southmainkitchen

Real Fix Pizzeria in Roswell is having it's friends and family nights tonight and tomorrow, before they open on Tuesday.  Going to try and swing by there, but will have the kids, so we'll see how it pans out.

Some sort of Bar and Grill opening up in the original Doceur de France location on Atlanta Street in Marietta.  Fixing up the parking lot and adding new landscaping.

Is this the Doceur on South Marietta Pkwy?  Or the one on Atlanta St in Roswell?
