The Cumming location will join the brand’s existing metro Atlanta restaurants at Lenox Square, Cumberland Mall, Perimeter Mall, North Point Mall, and Mall of Georgia. Patrons can expect a diverse menu ranging from pasta and burgers to various cheesecakes. More details about the opening can be found here.

The team of Kinship Butcher & Sundry of Virginia-Highland is launching a new restaurant known as So. Fox this spring. Myles Moody and Rachael Pack, the husband-wife team, will run the 50-seat restaurant at 1017 N Highland Ave. NE, where the Farm Burger used to operate.
Named after a Southern term for the muscadine grape, the concept will feature a hyper-seasonal menu by Moody alongside a natural wine program curated by Pack. So. Fox will rely on the fine-dining background of the founders and their community connections. Here are further details about the establishment.
Together, these upcoming eateries highlight the continued momentum of Atlanta’s dining scene. From national brands to chef-driven local concepts, these openings are ones to watch in the months ahead.
