Kitsch'n 155 Calls it Quits

Kitsch'n 155 on Clairmont Road unceremoniously closed its doors Saturday after nearly two years in business.

The cool throwback restaurant posted the following note to its Facebook page after closing:

Dear family, friends and faithful Kitsch’n followers,

We are very thankful to have found so many new friends and to have been welcomed into such a great community. You have greeted us daily with your smiles and eagerness to enjoy our food and fellowship. It has been a pleasure to serve you and be part of your daily lives, and an honor to have been part of your celebrations as well.

As many of you know we are a small family business and have made family a priority throughout this adventure. In continuing with that theme, Randy has been offered an opportunity to work in another family business, and we are taking advantage of that opportunity. Saturday, March 9th was the last day of operation for KItsch’n 155. We could not have done this for the last 2 years without the help of our great team members who have worked side by side with us daily, and have become part of our family. We will leave with many great memories of our time here and would like to thank you all for coming along on our ride down 155!

Sincerely,
Randy and Lisa Stewart

In the short time it was open, the restaurant quickly became known for its burgers, fresh ingredients, milkshakes and blue plate specials. (North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch had recently become a Kitsch'n 155 convert and was especially fond of the bleu cheese burger. The service was pretty great too.)

The restaurant opened in June 2011. It was pretty popular on Yelp too.
