The Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, which owns the restaurant, made it official on Wednesday – the Buckhead Diner will be gone.
After 35 years of fried chicken, blue cheese crisps and meatloaf, the restaurant group refused to renew their lease on the property which sits on Piedmont Road in Buckhead and that means the doors are permanently closed.
