akb writes in with news that Decatur’s only independent steakhouse, Parker’s on Ponce, is now open in the old, desirable Mick’s space on Ponce.  Funny, I just checked their website the other day, but it still had nothing on it.  But apparently they opened Tuesday…see her note below!

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat last night and noticed Parkers is now open, so we went in. They said they opened on Tuesday. (I’m surprised you didn’t post this, DM! We look to you for all the restaurant updates

The place looks great, the steaks were tasty and the staff was very friendly, although the food was a bit slow to arrive, but they will work those kinks out. They mentioned that the grand opening is sometime in mid-December.

Guess it was a pretty quiet open.   My wife said that it didn’t even look open when we drove by just an hour ago (I was too busy feeling out the new crosswalk), but maybe word just isn’t out yet.

Well, now it is!  Can’t wait to try it out!
