The AJC’s Food and More blog reports that the Empire Diner in Sandy Springs has closed.

This normally wouldn’t be all that pertinent news to Decaturites, except that Empire was owned by the same folks who own the Decatur Diner, according to the AJC.  Here’s the blurb…

A reader has informed me that the Empire Diner in Sandy Springs has closed. According to them, “..went right after Christmas and found a “Temporarily closed” sign on the door, but all fixtures still in place. Went today and the exterior sign was removed and fixtures removed. This was operated by the same group that was to operate the long-delayed Decatur Diner.”

A call to the diner’s phone number reveals the number has been disconnected.
