Oh wow! I am shocked. I used to eat at the Shane’s in Sandy Springs & they used to have one on Atlanta Road, I think. I was just telling co-workers about them & their delicious tenders & their peach tea. Their cobbler was delicious too. I am sorry to see them go. I don’t go to the areas where the other restaurants are so I guess this is the end for me.
I am so very saddened that they closed. I am from Charlotte and Shane’s was my favorite place to eat. I wa so happy to see a location not even 10 minutes from me after moving to Atl. Now they are gone…boo hoo!!
