An old-school cafeteria has put down roots in Tucker.

Magnolia Room Cafeteria opened its doors last week at 4450 Hugh Howell Road #10 with plans to serve up traditional Southern dishes with a daily rotating menu.

If the restaurant's vibe and menu seem familiar, it's likely because Magnolia Room is a something of an homage to S&S Cafeteria, which closed on Chamblee Tucker Road in July 2016 after 33 years, according to Tomorrow's News Today.

Magnolia, owned by a longtime S&S customer known as "Mr. Louis," is reportedly employing several former S&S employees. It's named for the dining room at the now-shuttered Rich's department store in downtown Atlanta.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
