    MLS Description

    The listing agent's description. Original Listing

    1016 E Broad Street stands as one of Athens' most recognizable and culturally significant commercial properties. For decades, this site has been home to Weaver D's Delicious Fine Foods, the soul-food restaurant operated by beloved local figure Dexter Weaver. Known for its welcoming green facade and the famous slogan "Automatic for the People," the property represents an enduring piece of Athens' identity-where food, community, and music history intersect. Weaver D's has earned national recognition for its authentic Southern cuisine and community presence. The restaurant received the James Beard Foundation's "America's Classic" Award, honoring establishments that reflect the timeless character of regional dining. Its motto, "Automatic for the People," inspired the title of R.E.M.'s 1992 album, weaving this humble Athens kitchen into the fabric of American pop culture. For an owner-operator, investor, or preservation-minded developer, 1016 E Broad Street offers an opportunity that goes beyond real estate fundamentals-it provides stewardship of a local institution. Whether maintained as a restaurant, adapted for boutique retail, or integrated into a broader redevelopment vision, this property delivers lasting community significance and a tangible connection to Athens' storied past. This freestanding commercial building totals approximately 1,464 square feet and occupies roughly 0.25 acres along the East Broad Street corridor, just a short walk from Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia. The single-story masonry structure offers a functional dining layout, rear kitchen and service area, and convenient on-site parking-an increasingly rare amenity within the downtown district. The building was built in 1950 and the site is zoned C-D, Commercial Downtown district. Positioned within the East Downtown / River District, the property benefits from strong vehicle and pedestrian traffic, excellent visibility, and proximity to major civic, academic, and cultural anchors. The surrounding area is experiencing ongoing reinvestment through mixed-use, residential, and creative adaptive-reuse projects, reinforcing both the current value and future potential of this address.
