R. Thomas Deluxe Grill is for sale
R. Thomas Deluxe Grill, Atlanta's late-night beacon of healthy food, fresh-squeezed juices and tropical birds, could be yours for the right price. Why it matters: Though healthier options are easier to find today, R. Thomas remains an outlier where the menu — R's Meatless Meatloaf! — is just as colorful as its surfer shack decor of beaded curtains, rattan and bright colors. For generations of metro Atlantans, the quirky Buckhead spot has been a refuge from chains and a yin to the Waffle House's yang after a night out partying. Driving the news: Owner Linay Sheltra, the daughter of Richard Thomas, the former fast food entrepreneur who opened the Bay Area-inspired restaurant in 1985, told the AJC she's looking for another health-minded individual to take over. What they're saying:"We're going to be vetting people a little bit more, maybe deeper than we normally do," Atlanta entrepreneur Cliff Oxford, who's helping Sheltra sell the restaurant, told the AJC, the first to report the news.
