For the First Time Ever, You Can Eat Lunch at Holeman & Finch

— Holeman & Finch Public House, chef and restaurateur Linton Hopkins's famed Buckhead gastropub, is now serving lunch for the first time. The menu is similar to what Holeman & Finch offers at dinner, and yes, it includes the double-stack cheeseburger. Lunch is served each Friday and Saturday, beginning at 11:30 a.m. and running until the restaurant's normal dinner hours kick in at 5 p.m. Holeman & Finch also is adding Sunday dinner service, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

"I see Holeman and Finch as a vital piece in our expanding story — always creating something new, boasting innovative and interesting cuisine, and continually pushing the culinary limits," Hopkins said in a prepared statement. "Expanded hours give us the opportunity to showcase that story and meet new guests."
