Located at 5600 Roswell Road in a 2,800-square-foot space previously occupied by Marlow’s Tavern, the new Nana’s restaurant is Ferrell’s reply to overwhelming demand for a location inside the perimeter. The unique Nana’s opened in 2016 along Flat Shoals Road in Conyers and later moved to McDonough in 2022. The Sandy Springs opening marks the next chapter in Ferrell’s culinary journey, which has included appearances on Food Network’s Ultimate Thanksgiving Challenge, Guy’s Grocery Games, and OWN’s Food Fantasies.
Guests have been handled to a beneficiant sampling of the restaurant’s iconic menu, including a colourful waffle unfold—purple velvet, banana pudding, peach cobbler, lemon, cinnamon roll, and more—as effectively as Southern favorites like shrimp and grits, catfish and grits, fried inexperienced tomatoes, fried grit truffles, and New Orleans-style beignets.
While adults mingled and indulged, youngsters loved hands-on actions like Y2K-style bracelet-making stations.

“The demand to get a location within the perimeter has been huge,” Ferrell famous per a press release. “With this new location, we plan to satisfy that demand and bring our tasty menu options to new patrons.”
Ferrell’s crew studies that her entrepreneurial spirit extends past the restaurant. She not too long ago launched a line of connoisseur waffle mixes, 24K gold flaked maple syrup, and stone-ground Cajun grits—all out there for national delivery. She’s also the creator of Kooking with Kelli, a cookbook crammed with household recipes and Southern inspiration handed down through generations.
With plans to broaden the Nana’s menu to embrace off-menu specials just like the Honey Lobster Sriracha Waffle, Ferrell continues to construct a model rooted in taste, hospitality, and group connection.
