Massey’s Kitchen opened last summer amidst great anticipation and much enthusiasm from the community. It was only fitting that the restaurant’s first birthday was marked by a celebration with special invited guests: the entire community! Live music, spontaneous dancing, scoops of that divine gelato, carnival games and patio cocktails were in order for the afternoon that moved into the evening. The staff was on hand for the event, of course, including many that were celebrating their own one-year anniversary of working at Massey’s Kitchen.
One year ago, the community waited with bated breath for the restaurant to open, and it was worth that wait. The patio is full every evening, even in the dead of winter, thanks to the igloos that were there last year. There was just something special about dining under the stars in a cozy little private dome!
My office is only a few feet away from Massey’s Kitchen, and I am a regular diner there. It is wonderful to have a restaurant that is open every single day for lunch and dinner! And a yummy brunch on the weekend!
My house is almost as close to MK as my office is, so I really have zero excuse to use the restaurant’s delivery service. But have you seen that zippy little car? For a mere $3 charge, you can order anything you want for delivery on the mountain!
I’m very familiar with the menu, and my favorite starter is the baked feta. Divine. There is a tie with the salads – Shrimp Louie and Mediterranean Chicken Salad take turns. The smash burger is really good, and the French fries are special – hand cut and soaked in salt water before frying. The Italian sausage pizza is to die for, but if you want, add a little of the sausage to the Tuscan pizza, which boasts artichokes, roasted red peppers, onions, roasted mushrooms, and pistachio pesto. The flour for the dough is imported from Italy, as is the olive oil and other ingredients. My friend who is gluten intolerant can eat this pizza dough with no problem. The flatbreads are all yummy, but last summer they offered one with grilled peaches and arugula. Incredible.
Massey’s offers several flavors of gelato, and a seasonal option as well. Get the chocolate. It’s like nothing you’ve ever had, with a dense rich chocolate flavor.
There’s lots more on the menu, but these are my favs, along with the gyro bowl in the secondo section.
Lots is going on at Massey’s, including the new Massey’s Lookout Mountain Market! On Saturday, August 24, a farmers market took place on the patio! Indeed, lots is happening at this neighborhood restaurant, but a lot remains the same, including great service, great food and a great location!
