Guest can also build their own bowls with a choices of base (jasmine rice, quinoa, rice noodles, or fettuccini noodles), protein (chorizo crumble, Daring Chicken, Impossible grounds, spicy Beyond sausage, Stir House meatballs or vegan shrimp), more than 15 vegetable options and five sauces. The menu also features a build-your-own pho option.
Also on the menu are appetizers like lemon pepper fried drumsticks, fried green beans and lemongrass coconut soup as well as dessert options including peach/apple empanadas, carrot cake parfait and pineapple upside-down cake and cold-pressed juices.
Stir House comes from former Atlanta city councilman Antonio Brown and restaurateur Ebony Austin of metro Atlanta Nouveau Bar & Grill, attorney/pharmaceutical executive Phillandas Thompson and human resources executive Tosin Adesanya. The 1,485-square-foot space was formerly home to Vietnamese eatery Fish Bowl Poké. Brown developed the concept after learning he had a severe gluten allergy.
Opening hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays.
