What they're saying: Owner Brian Dominick tells Axios he's targeting a fourth-quarter opening at 6538 N. Tryon St.
He's readapting the Old Hickory House Barbeque, which closed in 2015 during the Blue Line construction. The building is near the Tom Hunter light rail station.
"I think it's a good location now," Dominick says. "I think it'll be a great location in the future."
Flashback: This past November, the original Midnight Diner restaurant was moved overnight via flatbed from East Carson Street to East Trade Street in Uptown. Its former home is now a fast-moving construction site for a $700 million high-rise development called Queensbridge Collective.
"We love the (new) location," Dominick says. "Our clientele is enjoying it and take advantage of the events that are happening Uptown."
The old address was also home to Dominick's other popular business with a favored breakfast, Uptown Cabaret. He tells me there's no news to share on a potential reopening.
