The owners of the Southern Star restaurant plan to open a restaurant atop Signal Mountain by the end of summer.
“We saw a need for a new location and another option for a place to eat on the mountain,” said Nancy Adams, who with her husband, Rick, owns the Southern Star restaurant on the Southside downtown.
They have been operating a take-out unit on Taft Highway atop Signal Mountain since 2007″We have outgrown our space a little bit and we’ve always wanted to do something different,” Mrs. Adams said.
The Adamses said their new venture has yet to be named, but it will be in space adjoining the take-out facility. It will be able to seat 70 to 80 people.
The Broad Street location downtown will remain open. Several customers at lunch Tuesday said they are excited about the possibility of a sitdown location on Signal.
