"An iconic Grove Park restaurant founded by Helen Harden more than 50 years ago, it sustained local families — and even the local IRS office — with $5 boxes of pollock until its closure in 2018. Now a fried pollock and hush puppies haven on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway owned by Mike “Killer Mike” Render and T.I., it reopened in November 2024, three weeks before Harden’s passing, after an expansion that added a rooftop terrace, patio, and extra parking, then temporarily shuttered to dig up the floor and make small structural fixes while revisiting pricing. The famous pollock that almost led to tax fraud is still on the menu, catfish has been added with whiting on the way, and the team is fighting to offer “cheap food that feels good” and to get affordability locked in. A canned Paloma from Run The Jewels’ new Juice Runners line was set to hit the menu, and the goal is to get this first location so right that anyone landing in Atlanta feels they have to go, with the rooftop becoming a spot to enjoy sunsets on the West Side." - Adam Robb
