Midtown is getting a New Orleans-style po-boy shop.

Parish Grocery should open in about a month at 1545 Overton Park Ave. in the location that is currently The Atomic Tiki.

“We will be closing The Atomic Tiki on Saturday. We decided it was time to change the concept,” said owner Jeff Johnson, who also owns Local Gastropub. The bar will close its doors for good Sept. 28 at the close of business.

“Parish Grocery will be a neighborhood po-boy shop,” Johnson said. “For those not from New Orleans, it will be like a deli sandwich shop.”

On the menu will be an assortment of 15 po-boys.

Johnson said they will have the classics like fried oyster, fried shrimp and roast beef with debris. But patrons should also expect some unique creations like root beer-glazed ham.

“We will get creative and have fun with the menu,” Johnson said.

Also on the menu will be Southern sides such as spicy greens, black-eyed peas and the New Orleans classic — red beans and rice.

Johnson plans for Parish Grocery to be a casual, family-friendly neighborhood spot.

For dessert, they will offer sno-balls made like they do in the Big Easy.

Beer and cocktails will also be served, but Johnson said the bar menu will be limited as the focus on the new place is on the food.

“We will have a few frozen drink machines with non-alcoholic drinks in them,” he said. Kids can enjoy them as is, and adults can add alcohol if they want to give it a spike.

Johnson said he expects the remodeling to take about a month.

The new restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner. A casual breakfast, which includes beignets and waffles, will be served on the weekends.
