"Che Butter Jonez, a casual American restaurant in Brookhaven, is the go-to spot for top-notch handhelds. It’s bright and sunny with window-facing counter seats, so this is the spot to head when you’ve been toggling between Teams, Slack, Google Drive, and existential dread since 9am. The menu changes daily, but the “Who Wants Beef Son,” with crispy-yet-juicy patties on a soft bun, is usually on deck—and easily a contender for the best smashburger in Atlanta. Look out for salmon pitas, chimichurri burgers, and smashed lamb burgers, too. You’re getting quality food fast, in a spot that feels more like a reward than a routine." - jacinta howard
"In 2021, Detric Fox-Quinlan and her husband (and Occupy The Hood co-founder) Malik Rhasaan opened Che Butter Jonez in the SWATS, turning an unassuming Cleveland Avenue Chevron plaza into a destination with visits from stars like Dominique Wilkins and Samuel L. Jackson. After a few years of success, they moved to a larger, sunlit space in Brookhaven in 2024. The move didn’t change the quality of the food—this spot still serves some of the best handhelds in Atlanta, including the 'Who Wants Beef Son' smashburger, flavorful salmon pitas, and bodega-style breakfast sandwiches. Daily specials change often, so the best way to know what's on the menu is to stop by and see for yourself." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard

"Che Butter Jonez, formerly of SWATS and now located in Brookhaven, is home to an incredible smash burger, the Who Wants Beef Son. It comes on a soft bun with two crispy but juicy patties. A char gives the ground beef a satisfying mix of chew and crunch. Despite the patties being thin, they’re well-seasoned, making the burger full of flavor." - jacinta howard
