Metro Atlanta burger concept Yeah Burger closed over the weekend after more than a decade in business.
The restaurant announced the closure on its Instagram account:
“Your support of our vision for an organic, sustainably-minded restaurant has truly bought joy to our lives, and we hope we’ve brought a little joy to you as well along the way,” the post read in part, adding that the restaurant “may re-open elsewhere in the future.”

Yeah Burger closed when the pandemic hit in March 2020, then reopened in fall 2021 with a renovated space and an entirely plant-based menu. The restaurant courted some controversy in March after quietly reintroducing meat to its menu. The space will soon be home to a location of New York-based burger chain Shake Shack, What Now Atlanta reports.
A Yeah Burger location in Virginia-Highland was replaced by Atlanta burger chain Farm Burger in 2020.
Maier and Wallace, who are also co-owners of West Midtown healthy bowl concept Upbeet, did not immediately respond to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s request for comment.
