Pita, pizza, poke , barbecue and tacos are first on the menu of the food hall proposed for downtown Marietta.
Today, Marietta Square Market developers Capital Properties Group and Concordia Properties released the names of the first restaurant tenants for the food hall that was announced in March .
The developers hope to create an 18,500-square-foot mixed-use complex with space for 19 restaurants and shops styled after Krog Street and Ponce City markets.
Lee said they will being the permitting process with the city of Marietta in about 60 days.
The food hall will be situated inside the historic Marietta Station buildings at 68 N. Marietta Parkway NW, which would make it about a seven-minute walk from its namesake Square.
Lee said it will be themed as a train station, drawing from the county's long locomotive history. One of the vendors would be inside a restored 1922 curved side streetcar made to look like the ones that ran from Marietta to Atlanta in the 1930s and 40s.
Forno will offer wood-fired Neapolitan pies and 30 beers on tap. Located in the central hub of the building, it is a concept by Scott Kinsey and Alexis Aleshire-Kinsey, owners of Taqueria Tsunami, Stockyard Burgers and Bones and Pressed Panini Bar.
Here they'll serve Mexican street food including tacos and grilled corn. The eatery also promises fresh fruit juices and Mexican cocktails.
Street Taco is a venture by Southern Proper Hospitality, the same dining group behind Tin Lizzy's Cantina, Gypsy Kitchen, The Southern Gentleman, Beni's Cubano, The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill and The Blind Pig Parlour Bar.
Marietta Square Market would house the fifth Grand Champion BBQ location. There's already one inside Krog Street Market.
This is the second location of the joint, which serves poke and Korean fare. Poke is a Hawaiian bowl of raw fish and has become beloved in landlocked Atlanta and beyond.
TopPoke is from James Baek and Christian Lee, the same people behind BullGogi Restaurant , Sumo Hibachi and Wings 101.
Set to be the newest of its several locations already around metro Atlanta, the Marietta Square Market outpost promises fresh hummus and pita and shawarma daily. Check out the standard menu here .
After only a couple years on the Square, Tiny Bubble will now have another location. The shop sells not only bubble teas but also loose-leaf tea, matcha and Vietnamese coffee.
