Crab Legs, Sushi, And Chinese Favorites Fill Tennessee Plates At This All-You-Can-Eat Buffet With A Hibachi Grill

Some meals call for a menu. Others call for a stack of empty plates and zero decisions. In Chattanooga, one family-run buffet has built a loyal following by lining up crab legs, a real sushi bar, and a hibachi grill under one roof, then adding a long run of Chinese favorites for good measure. Some regulars show up once or twice a week, and a few have even paid for a rideshare across town just to grab a seat in a booth.

Cheeseburger slider restaurant opens in Acworth

A new cheeseburger slider restaurant opened its doors in Acworth Wednesday. Smalls Sliders opened its new location located at 3240 North Cobb Parkway. It is the slider restaurant’s third location in Georgia and second in Cobb County, following the one in Marietta located at 2355 Windy Hill Road. Smalls serves fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders along with waffle fries, shakes, queso dip and its house sauce. It offers walk-up ordering windows and drive-thru service rather than a traditional indoor area. The restaurant has a distinct modular design built from orange shipping containers. “We’ve seen firsthand the enthusiasm that Smalls Sliders brings to the communities it serves, and we’re proud to continue growing the brand’s presence in Georgia,” franchisee Rocky Moore said. “Building on the momentum of our Marietta location, we see tremendous opportunity to introduce even more guests to the Smalls experience. "We look forward to becoming part of the Acworth community, creating local jobs and serving up the fresh, cooked-to-order sliders that have made this brand a fan favorite.”

We Rock The Spectrum gym in Grayson creates an inclusive place where every child can play, belong and thrive

There’s a reason Yusra Syed Lee and her husband Noel opened We Rock The Spectrum kid’s gym in Grayson. The California-based We Rock The Spectrum is an indoor inclusive sensory play gym, created for neurodiverse children. There are some 200 franchises in the United States, Canada and abroad. The couple – parents to three daughters, one on the autism spectrum – opened the facility on Grayson Industrial Parkway in early September. “We started this journey thinking about our own kids and how the world is not so kind towards kids with needs and families who cater to kids with needs,” said Yusra. “There aren’t a lot of spaces that welcome those families. And we were wondering if there was a spot for kids and families like ours. “One-stop shops like this didn’t exist because if they did, we’d be taking our kids there instead of building one.” Yusra, who works as a speech therapist at Emory Decatur Hospital, said that the 17,200-square-foot We Rock The Spectrum in Grayson represents the company’s largest footprint. She added that in a slice of the building – 6,200-square feet – there’s room for birthday parties, camp activities, an in-house sensory-friendly salon and barber shop
