The restaurant’s last day in business, at 349 Decatur St. SE Suite A-1 in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood, will be December 29, according to a post to the Bada Bings Facebook page Thursday morning.

“With a new year comes new change,” ownership posted to the social media platform.

“Our lease of seven years is up. We won’t be renewing at this location. The proposal for new lease renewal does not support our concept. We thank all of you for your loyal support over the years!”

Owner Lawrence Morrow confirmed the news in an email to What Now Atlanta.

“We plan on taking a small breather, as we also have a successful sales consulting firm to run,” Morrow said.

“However, we are looking for new locations here in Atlanta OTP or ITP as well as Austin Texas. Once we find the right spot that supports our concept you will be the first to know. “

Pencil Factory, by way of Vantage Realty Partners, has already listed the 4,625-square-foot Bada Bings space for lease.

The rent is negotiable starting at $27 per square foot per year.

  1. So… they’re offering a luxury breakfast costing $1,000 across the street from Section 8 housing… got it.

      1. You must know that’s the only way you would be able to eat at the restaurant. You white so called people need to get a life. Stick to eating at your own trashy restaurants

  2. So how many people does this $1000 breakfast option feed?
    Sounds like something for people who like to throw a bunch of money around to look important.

    1. For 99% of people, it’s the extreme version of the well-known menu strategy of including a high price entre for the purpose of making the other items appear more reasonable. If you refrain from ordering the $100 steak, you feel good about that $80 lobster, etc.

      For the 1%, dropping $250/person on a breakfast for 4 isn’t that big a deal (presumably).

      1. No one’s telling any of you complainers to go eat there obviously you can’t afford it and some kin to each his own they’re not forcing people to pay $1000 for breakfast choices people choices

    2. The article literally says “it serves four.” And I would be surprised if several parties of four at Bones, Hal’s, name your favorite Buckhead steakhouse/golf club, etc do not spend multiples of $1,000 in a single sitting every day.

      1. Again nobody’s telling you to go to the restaurant if you don’t want to pay the money you don’t pay it but you can stop complaining unless you’ve been there you wouldn’t know how delicious the food is I’ve been there many times and I can afford to eat there

  3. I’m Looking forward to patronizing this up & coming establishment. They have an outstanding menu, that seems affordable to every price range. I can appreciate that!!!

    1. I am sure by now you have already discovered that their food is absolutely delicious and worth every nickel and by the way I feel that they are prices are very reasonable
