Hey Anon @1/26:

I would much rather have a bank there than another jiffy lube, gas station or fast food joint! What were you wanting for that space?

Hi Sheila,

I appreciate your concerns and also am pleased to hear you enjoy the restaurant. If the restaurant remains open though a certain time-frame, a follow up statement and possibly an additional post will be made.

Thanks for reading.

Eli, please, if you think you might be wrong on OES, do the honorable thing and do a separate post indicating that you now question the rumor.

I'm sure, like a whole lotta good (and pricey) restaurants these days, they struggle. No business is easy and I'm sure you've learned that just like we all have. The problem is, rumors like this do real damage. They spread & their customers pass them by thinking "oh, I heard they were closed/closing/not doing well".

We *LOVE* OES!!! No, I have no relationship to them and couldn't even name a server. But, each time we go, which is at least 1x/month, the tables are full, customers look happy and the food is awesome & creative. Another positive sign-- I recognize many of the staff from our earliest visits there.

I really, really, really hope your prediction is wrong.

according to eater atlanta, MF Buckhead is moving to ptree and pharr and one ear stag is NOT closing... I sure do hope they are right on both accounts!!

Hey David,

The Brookleigh project was originally gonna be a lifestyle center with residential, retail and restaurants. Last I heard all retail and restaurant spaces planned for the project have been scrapped and it will be a residential project only.

Thanks for the question and for reading the blog.

2012-01-19T11:07:38.094-05:00

Speaking of Brookleigh, what is actually going in there? They had one plan, then changed it, and now it sounds as if they have changed it again.

@Anon RE: GG,

I totally agree with you on the cramped space when loading your bowl. Very poor design at both the south Buckhead and Sandy Springs locations ( I have not personally been to the MoG location)

I found the food OK, but as you said, much prefer Chow Baby (westside) or Big Chow Grill.

Have you been to Stir Crazy in TOWN Brookhaven?

Thanks for reading and for the comments!

@Drummerpop,

If you are speaking of the former Blockbuster on Johnson Ferry near the upcoming Brookleigh project, no nothing of late. It looks to be good for something though parking is limited. Perhaps when Brookleigh opens it will see increased interest...

Thanks for the question and for reading the blog!

2012-01-19T00:48:33.559-05:00

Ugh, I had such great hopes for Genghis Grill, but sadly, they couldn't seem to get it right for me. Chow Baby, Big Chow Grill, and even the long-closed Hot Stix all had a better Mongolian BBQ, both in the variety of the ingredients and the process of getting your food to the cooks.

I've only been to the GG in Sandy Springs, but I will say its laid out TERRIBLY, very narrow aisle to load up your bowls, and waiting to choose whether you want noodles or rice when you bring your bowl to the cook instead of when you start filling your bowl is awkward. Plus no other Mongolian BBQ I've ever been to, and its been a LOT, has ever made you keep your sauce out to the side like GG does. Poor.

Speaking of Blockbusters: have you heard of any future plans for the eyesore that sits next to the Bat and Ball in old Five Points?

Nice work Eli. Didn't know that demolished the long vacant restaurant on Piedmont. No more mattress places please.

Would love to see a feature from you maybe next year about what went into each Blockbuster .... mattresses, AAA car care, potential Chick fila a, etc. They are leasing up surprisingly well but mostly with crappy tenants.

Hello Anon re: former friend / Atlantic Station.

I appreciate the feedback but you have incorrectly associated two unrelated items.

Never have I been a fan of Atlantic Station and my editorial on A.S. within the post has everything to do with that and what I feel are lies by Mark Toro and nothing to do with my former blog partner who happens to work for them now.

Thanks again for reading.

If you kept your animosity at your former friend re: Atlantic Station out of your posts, this posting would have been full of valuable information. Still full of valuable information, but leaves a bad taste...

Sounds like someone pee'd on Anon's cornflakes (above). Your posts are never boring or depressing. Keep up the good work.

Blah... all of that is boring and/or depressing, like most of your posts.

Rumors, rumors, rumors. I hope you and Foodie Buddha are wrong about One Eared Stag.

Good updates on the factual info. It's about time they knocked down that old Bridgetown Grille. I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of new businesses going in old blockbusters.
