2022 is shaping up to be a big year for Atlanta restaurateurs, Gregory and Juan Smalls. Not only will they open a second location of Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen & Bar, they are also planning to expand their brunch restaurant, The Breakfast Boys.
“Yes we are,” Gregory told What Now Atlanta when asked if an Atlanta location was being planned for Virgil’s, “as well as another Breakfast Boys in Conyers. They will both be opening first quarter of 2022!”
Posts on Facebook and Instagram also confirmed the news.
“Not only do we have two restaurant concepts, but we will also be opening a 2nd location for each at the top of 2022,” the post read in part. “One of which we purchased, and the other from a leasing company that sought us out. It’s by no coincidence that the restaurant is in none other than the city of Atlanta. We have also gotten several other calls from retail developers, asking us to bring Virgil’s to their development as well.”
The second location of The Breakfast Boys will be at 914 Commercial St in Conyers and will open in early 2022. The space was previously home to burgers and brews eatery, Tin Plate.
With the first location in College Park at 3387 Main St, The Breakfast Boys opened earlier this year and offers a menu that is as delicious as it is creative. Featured items include pineapple upside-down French toast, jerk chicken and waffles, peach cobbler lattes and passion fruit mimosas.
The Smalls’ first restaurant, Virgil’s, opened in 2019 at 3721 Main St, also in College Park. It is expanding to downtown Atlanta next year with a location at 822 Marietta St NW.
