The Little Five Points location of Hudson Grille is closing after just over six years in business. The restaurant, located at 351 Moreland Avenue, occupied about half of a building that previously housed Tijuana Garage and Front Page News which closed in December 2018 and December 2019 after fifteen and nineteen years in business, respectively.
Sources close to the restaurant indicate that Hudson Grille's last day in business in Little Five Points will be Tuesday March 31. No reason has been provided for the closure, and its closure less than 100 days before the World Cup with its expected tens of thousands of local and visiting fans is more than a little surprising.
In related news, Danny Glusman with Widespread Commercial Group is actively marketing the Hudson Grille property for sale. Officially 351–361 Moreland Avenue, the property includes the 23,510 square foot mixed-use building (of which Hudson Grille currently occupies only a portion) on a parcel that is approximately 0.80 acres. The two-story structure includes established restaurant infrastructure on the ground floor and second-level office/flex space. The property is currently zoned NC-1 (City of Atlanta) and includes approximately 44 onsite parking spaces.
The asking price is $6.5M.
The Hudson Grille on Peachtree Road in Brookhaven previously closed in March 2020 and was later renovated into a nontraditional Chick-fil-A. Hudson Grille's parent company, Atlanta-based Metrotainment Cafes, has previously closed several other concepts around metro Atlanta including Einstein's and Joe's on Juniper in Midtown, Cowtippers in Piedmont Heights, Sugar Shack in Brookhaven, and its Garrison's Broiler & Tap concept with locations in Dunwoody, Vinings, and Johns Creek.
Following its Little Five Points closure, Hudson Grille will continue to operate five locations: Midtown, Downtown, Sandy Springs, Kennesaw, and Tucker.

Too much urban blight in the area.
