Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Marietta and Metro Atlanta
Atlanta runs on Southern cooking. Mary Mac's Tea Room has served Southern plates on Ponce de Leon Avenue since 1945, Paschal's has fried chicken on the menu going back to 1947, and fried chicken turns up all over town, from meat-and-three plates to brunch menus where it sits next to a waffle.
Past the classics, Atlanta-born lemon pepper wings started in the city's wing shops, the Buford Highway corridor through Brookhaven and beyond has more than 1,000 immigrant-owned businesses, and the 2026 Michelin Guide gives stars to eight Atlanta restaurants plus one in Marietta. The suburbs add farmers markets, festivals and town centers full of kitchens.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Metro Atlanta orders ship from our Atlanta warehouse, so metro Atlanta restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Marietta, Smyrna, and Peachtree Corners. The most common orders here are fryers, reach-in refrigerators, freezers, ranges and ovens, sandwich prep tables, and food truck equipment.
Fried Chicken, Collards and Peach Cobbler: Atlanta's Southern Classics
Mary MacKenzie opened Mary Mac's Tea Room in Midtown in 1945, and it calls itself "Atlanta's Dining Room." Part of the roof collapsed in March 2024, every dining room was back open by February 2025, and the kitchen still sends out fried chicken, collard greens and Georgia peach cobbler. Georgia growers produced 37,200 tons of peaches in 2024. Paschal's started in 1947 as a sandwich shop on West Hunter Street, now MLK Jr. Drive, where Robert Paschal's fried chicken sandwich was the house specialty, and it served as an unofficial headquarters of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. It has been in Castleberry Hill since 2002. Busy Bee Cafe, opened by Lucy Jackson in 1947, holds a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand, The Colonnade, open since 1927, is a meat-and-three known for fried chicken, and The Varsity, founded by Frank Gordy in 1928, still sells chili dogs and onion rings on North Avenue.
Soul food and meat-and-three kitchens run on fryers with fast recovery for chicken, ranges and ovens for long-simmered greens and sheet pans of cobbler, chef bases under the line, and two-door reach-in refrigerators and freezers for bulk chicken, greens and peaches.
Lemon Pepper Wings and the Buford Highway Corridor
According to the AJC, wing spots on Campbellton Road started tossing fried wings in dried lemon zest, black pepper and melted butter in the late 1980s, after J.R. Crickets launched in 1982 and helped push wings into the mainstream. To the northeast, Buford Highway (GA 13) runs from just north of Midtown through Brookhaven, Chamblee, Doraville and Norcross, with more than 1,000 immigrant-owned businesses, many of them Korean, Mexican, Chinese and Vietnamese. The corridor's first ethnic restaurant, the Havana Sandwich Shop, opened in 1976, and the 2026 Michelin Guide recommends Buford Highway spots including Best BBQ, Han Il Kwan, Kamayan ATL, LanZhou Ramen and Nam Phuong.
Wing shops need fryers that can run all night and freezers for case after case of wings. Korean barbecue, ramen and taqueria kitchens lean on ranges, griddles, charbroilers and undercounter refrigeration at every station.
Sweet Auburn, Ponce City Market and Michelin Stars
The Sweet Auburn Curb Market on Edgewood Avenue began as an open-air market in 1918 and moved into its building in 1924. About 30 vendors sell produce, meat, seafood and prepared food there Monday through Saturday. Ponce City Market fills the 1926 Sears, Roebuck building beside the BeltLine and opened in 2014 with a food hall. The 2026 Michelin Guide American South gave Georgia 10 starred restaurants. Eight are in Atlanta, including Bacchanalia, Atlas, Lazy Betty and Mujo, and one is Spring, chef Brian So's restaurant just off Marietta Square.
Food hall stalls and market vendors work in tight spaces, so they order undercounter refrigerators, sandwich prep tables and countertop display cases. Fine dining kitchens need ranges and ovens, work tables and reach-in refrigerators, and their bars need bar refrigeration and back-bar coolers.
Restaurant Supply Store in Atlanta
We ship straight to your Atlanta restaurant. Most metro Atlanta orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days from our Atlanta warehouse, with free freight and free lift gate service. Will-call pickup at our Atlanta warehouse is available for verified restaurant businesses, but most kitchens skip the trip and let us ship it. Most metro Atlanta calls are for a fast replacement, like a fryer that quit in the middle of a wing rush or a reach-in that gave out on a humid August afternoon, or for a full equipment package for a new restaurant, food hall stall or food truck. Tell us what you are cooking and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line.

Atlanta is our hub for the city and its close-in suburbs in Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett counties. Restaurants across metro Atlanta get the same equipment, free lift gate freight, and warranty, and they talk to the same team.
Atlanta and Sandy Springs
Operators searching for a restaurant supply store in Atlanta usually need a fast replacement, so we ship fryers, reach-in refrigerators, freezers, and sandwich prep tables. In Sandy Springs, the farmers market sets up at City Springs on Saturday mornings from April through November, and Henri's Bakery, founded in 1929, has a shop in town. Bakeries and cafes there order glass merchandisers, countertop display cases, and work tables.
Brookhaven and Dunwoody
Buford Highway runs through Brookhaven, where the Cherry Blossom Festival brings food vendors to Blackburn Park in late March. In Dunwoody, Lemonade Days, which began in 1999, fills Brook Run Park in April, and Farm Burger cooks on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. Kitchens and trucks here order food truck equipment, griddles, charbroilers, and ice machines.
Marietta and Smyrna
Marietta Square's farmers market draws about 65 to 70 vendors every Saturday, and Spring, a few steps off the square, has held a Michelin star since 2024. Smyrna's Spring Jonquil Festival fills Market Village and the Village Green with craft booths and barbecue in late April, and Atkins Park Tavern serves Southern plates in Market Village. Cobb County kitchens order ranges and ovens, draft beer coolers, back-bar coolers, and reach-in refrigerators.
Peachtree Corners
Peachtree Corners became a city in 2012 and had 42,243 residents in 2020, the most of any city in Gwinnett County, according to the Census. Its 21-acre Town Center opened in April 2019 with more than 15 restaurants. Restaurants there order undercounter refrigerators, pizza prep tables, fryers, and bar refrigeration.
