Iconic Old South Bar-B-Q Restaurant WITH Commercial Real Estate

A remarkably rare opportunity to acquire a legendary, long-established Metro Atlanta restaurant operation simultaneously with the fee-simple ownership of the underlying commercial real estate.

Overview

Located on a high-visibility corridor in Smyrna, this property has served as a staple of the Cobb County food and beverage scene for decades. The location benefits from dense daytime commuter traffic, strong historical community ties, and exceptional street-front visibility. This is an unparalleled opportunity to secure real estate in a market where prime commercial dirt is rapidly disappearing to dense multi-family redevelopments.

Financial & Lease Summary

• Asking Price: $525,000 (Includes both the going-concern business operations and the fee-simple commercial parcel/building).
• Gross Revenue: Established historical revenue streams validating the concept.
• Lease Terms: N/A — Real Estate is included in the transaction. This eliminates landlord risk, protects against escalating NNN charges, and provides the buyer with a depreciable real estate asset.

Facilities & Equipment

• Facility Size: Approximately 2,500 sq ft freestanding commercial building.
• Kitchen Assets: Equipped specifically for high-volume barbecue production. Features commercial smoking infrastructure, high-capacity exhaust systems, dedicated prep areas, commercial refrigeration, and a fully compliant grease management system.
• Seating & Parking: Traditional diner-style seating configuration with dedicated, privately owned surface parking for patrons, ensuring seamless access during peak lunch and dinner rushes.

Deal Structure & Assets

• Licenses: Existing business licenses and health department grandfathering are a significant value-add.
• Strategic Value: The buyer can either continue operating the beloved Old South Bar-B-Q brand, leveraging decades of goodwill, or reposition the freestanding building for a new high-visibility retail or quick-service restaurant concept without the constraints of landlord use-clauses.
