I remember eating at that location years ago. It was decent food for the money.

However, I can understand why GA-DOT wants that land since I remember getting stuck in traffic at this location when trying to get on I-20 to go downtown Atlanta and trying to navigate traffic when going home from work. Traffic was a mess in both directions at this juncture.

I always found this is it to be over priced not trash but not the best. Big daddy's much fresher. Just an opinion.

I cook myself so hardly use restaurants anymore.

Eminent domain is always rough. Some interesting Supreme Court decisions on the matter.

They got different locations throughout the city, i think its one like 15 minutes from that one. They can relocate and they will be ok. Its not just them being impacted in that area.

i wonder how much money they giving them?

traffic was always bad on that part of I-20 during rush hour. Panola Rd. was my exit when i lived in Lithonia.

Should be market value of the property

Right. They negotiated fair market value if they owned the land.

If they were leasing, maybe they bought out the lease and gave them some settlement money.
