New Fast-Casual Spot Crave Social Eatery Coming to Marietta’s Pickle Pad

MARIETTA, GA — Crave Social Eatery is set to open inside Pickle Pad at 3101 Roswell Rd, Marietta, GA 30062. Franchisee Jay Mathis told Business Debut the team is targeting a May or June 2026 opening for the fast-casual restaurant concept.

What to Expect

Crave Social Eatery will operate within Pickle Pad, a new indoor pickleball and entertainment complex designed as a social hub for all ages. Guests will be able to order from kiosks or their phones, with food runners delivering directly to the courts or cabanas. The menu will include handhelds, flatbreads, sandwiches, and smoothies, along with a bar serving beer and wine.

The restaurant area will feature roughly 10 to 15 high-top tables and a 20-seat bar. Mathis said the eatery is intended to complement the recreational space, creating a business where guests can play, eat, and hang out in one spot.

Menu and Vision

While the full menu is still being finalized, Mathis described the offerings as elevated bar-style food suitable for guests playing or relaxing between games. “It’s a fun environment for people to come and hang out, enjoy some good food, and watch or play pickleball,” he told Business Debut.

The Pickle Pad Concept

Pickle Pad will feature 12 indoor championship-sized pickleball courts larger than standard setups, along with private cabanas available for parties and corporate events. The facility will also include cornhole, shuffleboard, darts, and pool tables. A golf area with four simulators is planned in the back of the venue.

The brand is part of Indoor Active Brands, which also owns Altitude Trampoline Parks. Mathis is the franchisee for this Marietta location and plans to open three additional Pickle Pad and Crave Social Eatery sites in the northwest Atlanta area, including Kennesaw, near the Battery, and Perimeter Mall.

Opening Timeline

Crave Social Eatery and Pickle Pad are targeting an opening before summer 2026, with construction and permitting currently underway.

Hours

The team expects to open daily, targeting roughly 8 a.m.–10 p.m., though hours may adjust based on demand.
