The table is set at Chamblee’s forthcoming food hall.

The first brick-and-mortar location of barbecue concept South End Smokehouse has signed on to lease the final available stall space at Chamblee Tap & Market, according to terra alma, the real estate advisory firm handling leasing. The addition means the micro food hall, as it’s called, is fully leased months before opening.

As designed by Vickers Design Group, plans for Chamblee Tap & Market call for a taproom with 20 varieties of beer and wine on draft, both local and unique out-of-market selections. Elsewhere, three food stalls (concepts Let’s Taco Bout It and Southern Grace have claimed the other two) and a pint-sized coffee shop (Sidecar Coffee) are in the works.

The project is remaking former furniture and antiques businesses at 3509 and 3515 Broad Street into a gathering place across the street from the new Chamblee City Hall, which claimed the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Georgia 2023 People’s Choice Award for best built project over 5,000 square feet.

It’s part of a broader Chamblee Town Center plan that’s coming together as a more walkable, cohesive district across several downtown blocks.

South End Smokehouse is the product of owner-operators and childhood friends Buzz Schuster, Ken Man, and Raquel Stalcup. Expect a menu of smoked turkey, salmon, pulled pork, and St. Louis cut ribs, alongside offerings such as brisket eggrolls and “Tatchos,” with brisket available on weekends.

A private event space is also in the works at Chamblee Tap & Market. Sidecar Coffee, which will occupy the smallest stall, will also serve small plates and bakery items.

The concept by owners Jeff Kimmel and David Heymann was initially expected to open in spring 2023, but following delays it's now projected to debut later this year. Once open, it will operate seven days a week, according to project reps.

“Having a top-notch barbecue spot perfectly rounds out our mission to create a vibrant, community-focused space,” said Heymann in a recent announcement. “This is exactly the type of business to help transform the Chamblee area into a bustling destination for food lovers."
