Y’all, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, EATS is coming back.

We closed, Atlanta prayed about it, talked about it, and clearly refused to move on. The Lord heard y’all, because EATS is reopening in March 2026 with the epic return of the pasta menu. Yes, it’s really happening. Take a breath.

Same vibe. Same energy. Just a new home in the West End with the good folks at Wild Heaven Beer, which also means a much fuller beer situation. Growth.

If you missed us, you’re in luck, because we’re back. And yes, Levi will be there, so come say hi, catch up, and act like you never stopped coming.

Amen. 🍽️
