Cook-Out Opens; Community Q Construction; Marietta Closures

OLD FOURTH WARD — In the former Zesto space on Ponce de Leon Avenue, Cook-Out is now open, per Atlanta INtown. If the franchise's first Atlanta location, which opened earlier this year on Moreland Avenue, is any indication, the dining room and drive-thru should see plenty of business. Cook-Out serves an assortment of burgers, sides, shakes, and floats. [Atlanta INtown]

DECATUR — Barbecue purveyor Community Q is temporarily closing next week due to construction at the restaurant. It will go dark January 4 through January 8, reports Decatur Metro, and will reopen January 9 at 11 a.m. [DMetro]

MARIETTA — Two Marietta restaurants have closed for good, according to What Now Atlanta. Ritter's, located on Roswell road, and Paper Mill Grill, on Village Parkway NE, shuttered on Monday. Both were owned by husband-and-wife team Ritter and Brigid Jones. [WNA]
