Big Kahuna | Our Story

Southern California Surf Culture Meets Atlanta

Southern California Surf Culture Meets Atlanta

Big Kahuna brings the laid-back energy of a Pacific Coast surf town to the heart of downtown Atlanta. Surf-inspired decor and a welcoming atmosphere offer a little coastal escape from the city outside. Our menu brings together Baja-Mex flavors and American favorites, from tacos and burritos to burgers, paired with tropical drinks. It’s food made for catching up with friends, sharing a relaxed meal, and settling in for a good time. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, gathering to watch the game, or celebrating with a group, there’s a place for you here. Come for the coastal flavors, stay for the company, and make a few Atlanta memories along the way.
The Food

The Food

Baja-Mex and classic American fare collide — customized tacos, hand-ground certified Angus beef burgers, Kahuna rice, and the signature Kahuna sauce. Bold flavors with a coastal twist on everything from burritos to the Seafood Tower.
The Bar

The Bar

Every margarita is hand-shaken to order — classic lime, mango, strawberry, or spicy jalapeño — backed by top-shelf tequilas and cold drafts.
The Atmosphere

The Atmosphere

Surfboards on the walls, warm wood tones, an 80-inch screen, and cityscape views through Peachtree Center's windows. The vibe swings from buzzy weekend nights to easy weekday lunches.
