A man who has over the years opened fancy burger joints, gourmet hot dog eateries, and most recently, a fresh seafood restaurant, is now looking to open a new establishment in Dunwoody.
The new restaurant is opening in the Fresh Market-anchored Dunwoody Village shopping center (1317 Dunwoody Village Parkway). Specifically, Steak & Grace (Mills tells us the name and menu are still being finalized) will occupy the roughly 3,600 square foot space left vacant last May when First Watch closed in favor of its newer location at Perimeter Marketplace near Perimeter Mall.
After exiting FLIP in 2018, Mills took over a former Verde Taqueria at Chastain Market (fka The Gateway Chastain) in 2019 and opened Big B's Fish Joint, an approachable, neighborhood-focused seafood restaurant.
ToNeTo Atlanta spoke with Mills last week at which time he indicated there was little to share yet as his plans are very much still being finalized. Mills stopped short of calling the restaurant a "steakhouse" but did confirm that there will definitely be several steaks on the menu. By taking over an existing full-service restaurant, Mills is likely hoping to save both time and money in the conversion process with the goal of opening before the end of the year.
In Dunwoody Village, Mills joins existing locations of Marlow's Tavern and Royal Spice as well as #Funwoody restaurants from David Abes: Bar{n} booze {n} bites, Message In A Bottle, Morty's Meat & Supply and Mediterranean eatery Yoffi, among others.
