Your 3rd Spot Named One of America's Top 50 Independent Restaurants by FSR Magazine
Your 3rd Spot (Y3S), the celebrated culinary and social destination at The Works in West Midtown, has been named one of America’s Top 50 Independent Restaurants by FSR Magazine. This honor places an Atlanta favorite among the nation’s elite, recognized for its award-winning food, bold design and unwavering commitment to authentic community.
Since opening in 2022, Your 3rd Spot has welcomed over 600,000 guests, hosted thousands of events, and become a favorite for both locals and visitors from across the country. The concept has earned more than 20 local and national awards across all facets of the business, from food and beverage to design, innovation and hospitality. Led by founder Josh Rossmeisl, Georgia Restaurant Association’s Restaurateur of the Year for 2024, and director of culinary innovation Stuart Rogers, 2024 Georgia Grown Executive Chef honoree, the Y3S team delivers a globally inspired small plates menu featuring local and seasonal ingredients. Signature dishes include Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Braised Short Rib-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers, and Members Crispy Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps.
“Our menu, led by Chef Stuart, reflects Atlanta’s creative energy and incredible spirit,” said Rossmeisl. “He brings a passion for Georgia-sourcing and a vision for what dining in Atlanta can be.”
Your 3rd Spot is more than a restaurant. Inspired by Ray Oldenburg’s idea of a “third place,” Y3S was designed as a modern gathering space for connection, unplugging and building community. Its exclusive membership program for neighbors within five miles has helped create a network of locals who use Y3S as their home for memorable moments, networking and new friendships.
Guests experience an immersive, multi-sensory environment that adapts to any occasion, from corporate gatherings to birthday parties, anniversaries and date nights. The venue is known as one of Atlanta’s top spots for celebrations and is frequently visited by tourists seeking the best the city has to offer.
As Your 3rd Spot celebrates its upcoming third anniversary, the team remains focused on growing its impact in Atlanta and exploring new opportunities in cities across the country.
