Restaurant Spotlight – Mr. Beale’s Texas BBQ

One of the most talked-about subjects in our Facebook group is restaurants. MIC’s Economic Development Committee decided to visit Mableton restaurants periodically, and provide some basic information about them — or in other words, “shine a spotlight” on the restaurants in our community. MIC does not endorse the restaurants; the Spotlight exists simply to introduce Mabletonians to restaurants in Mableton.

Today’s spotlight is Mr. Beale’s Texas BBQ.

When we went:  Thursday, April 19th, 12:15pm

Chef:  Mr. Beale!

Our meals:  Baby Back Ribs, green beans, baked sweet potato / Chopped Beef Brisket sandwich on potato roll, green beans

Delivery/Takeout: Call-in available for takeout or home delivery via doordash.com, grubhub.com, and seamless.com

Location: Publix shopping center, 5015 Floyd Road SW, #620, Mableton GA 30126

Phone:  678-742-7979

Hours: Su 1pm-6pm, Mo-Th 11am-8pm, Fr-Sa 11am-9pm

Food Safety Score:  99/A – 11.1.17

Ambience:  very basic; décor appears to represent the owner’s interests and history (Atlanta Falcons, UGA Football, military service)

Wifi: not detected

Parking info:  plenty

Website:  mrbealetexasbbq.com

Experience:  food is ordered at the back counter, meal is served at your table or booth in a Styrofoam container.  BBQ sauce is served on the side, and there are many other optional sauces at the counter.  Portions not overly large, but rather, reasonable in size and price.  Both the brisket and ribs had the requisite “smoke ring”, very tender.  Sides were very tasty, seasoned well, and very fresh.  When Mr. Beale came in while we were there, he was very cordial in saying a welcoming hello as he walked in the door, and the young lady serving us provided very quick customer service.

MIC Volunteers to Pick Up Trash on Floyd Road

MIC Volunteers to Pick Up Trash on Floyd Road

Mark your calendars for our Adopt-a-Mile cleanup Saturday, May 5th, starting promptly at 9:00am. We will meet in the Kroger Shopping Center parking lot area adjacent to the Autobell Car Wash on Floyd Road.

With your help, it takes only about an hour for MIC volunteers to pick up the accumulated trash and your help will be greatly appreciated.  Floyd Road will look a whole lot better when we are done. Wear sturdy shoes or boots and bring gloves if you like. We provide safety vests, latex gloves, trash bags, bottled water — and a cheerful welcome.

Participants must be at least 13 years of age and those under 18 must have a signed parental consent and release of liability.  We have the form if needed.

Please contact Jeff Padgett if you plan to participate or if you have any questions/concerns.  If we know you’re coming, we’ll keep you posted concerning rescheduling in case of inclement weather.

Mableton Zoning Cases Postponed

Mableton Zoning Cases Postponed

At the hearing this morning, both April cases before the Cobb County Planning Commission were postponed until May 1st. Punky Pooh, LLC (Z-3) is an application for townhouses next to the fire station on Mableton Parkway. The MIC Zoning Committee is hoping for more details on this project, so that we can better understand its impact on Glore Circle and how the buildings might best be placed on the property. Aziz Farista (Z-11) has applied for commercial zoning for the Old Bankhead Clinic at 1021 Veterans Memorial Highway SE. This property was mistakenly designated as residential years ago when the county adopted its zoning code. MIC has asked for additional conditions on any approval, in order improve the appearance of the property and to avoid certain uses, such as liquor stores, used tire sales, etc. For more information about these cases and other MIC Zoning Committee work, email us.
