Restaurants across Georgia can resume dine-in service on Monday, April 27, but with stricter health and safety protocols in place. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp laid out his plan to reopen portions of Georgia’s economy during a press conference on Monday afternoon, which also sees businesses like gyms, hair and nail salons, tattoo parlors, and bowling alleys reopening this Friday. Georgia’s shelter-in-place order expires at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 30.

Atlanta restaurant owners were quick to react to the news, with some calling Kemp’s decision “irresponsible,” “unsafe,” and “unfathomable.” Despite the ability to resume dine-in service, there’s a long and growing list of restaurants choosing not to reopen dining rooms on Monday, and it reads like a who’s who of Atlanta’s most notable chefs, biggest restaurant groups, and beloved neighborhood establishments.

Most restaurant owners cite the health and safety of employees and patrons as the biggest factor for holding off on reopening dining rooms this Monday, along with needing adequate time to put further health and safety measures into practice.

Below is a list of several restaurants that do not plan to reopen for dine-in service on Monday, April 27, but will continue takeout and delivery until further notice. Follow individual restaurants on social media for additional reopening plans.
