The General Muir

The General Muir is a MICHELIN Recommended modern American restaurant inspired by classic New York Jewish Deli.
(1561)

A partnership between Chef Todd Ginsberg and Shelley Sweet, Ben Johnson, and Jennifer Johnson (the folks behind West Egg Cafe), The General Muir is a tribute to the classic New York Jewish Deli, returning it to its hand-crafted roots. Traditional favorites are honored – pastrami is cured and smoked in house, bagels are kettle boiled and hand rolled – and joined by dishes going beyond tradition, focusing on fresh ingredients and simple preparations. The General Muir is named for the refugee transport ship that brought owner Jennifer Johnson's mother and grandparents, Holocaust survivors, to New York in 1949. The General Muir opened in 2013 at Emory Point (aka The Point), the mixed-use development on Clifton Road next to the campus of Emory University, across the street from the CDC. A second location opened January 2021 at City Springs, in Sandy Springs, GA.

Because one special coffee feature isn’t enough for this change in the coffee season (ahem, we’re just going to have to pretend fall is here), we bring you the Pumpkin Spice Latte (but of course) AND a White Chocolate Maple Latte (espresso, housemade spiced white chocolate, maple syrup, choice of milk) this month. Enjoy hot or iced. Just enjoy!

During Happy Hour, join us at the bar for drink specials and small plates (small plates continue to be available throughout dinner), like this [End of] Summer Laffa. Pan-seared laffa bread, red pepper & walnut muhammara, roasted peach & tomato salad, with feta and everything spice.

‘Tis the season! The Pumpkin Spice Latte is here. We make our own syrup that blends the traditional warm pumpkin spices with pumpkin puree and vanilla. And do I dare say it’s finally, sort of, starting to feel like 🎃 season?
