Atlanta restaurant Eats celebrates cuisine and community in its final days

On a busy weekday afternoon, Tucker resident Leland Robeson stands patiently in a growing line outside of Eats, a small but familiar community restaurant across from Ponce City Market.

Robeson, an avid customer since the 1990s, peers excitedly at the door, hoping to get a serving of chicken tortellini.

“It’s always a good time,” he says while waiting to place his order. “Always a little bit of a line at a door, which is a good sign for a restaurant.”
