A restaurant that has been a popular staple of Homewood’s food scene for a decade will leave its longtime perch to move just down the road.
Real & Rosemary, founded by Jennifer and Nate Carlson, first started in 2016 as a way for people to get healthier food options with fresh ingredients, like grilled chicken and vegetables. Since it first opened, it has sat in the same spot next to Big Bad Breakfast along 18th Street South.
However, on Thursday, Nate Carlson announced that starting this spring, the restaurant will move to the former Maple Street Biscuit Co., which closed back in February and is less than half a mile away from Real & Rosemary. Maple Street had been open since 2020.
“When we opened 10 years ago, Jennifer and I wanted to fill a void in the market- a space where the entire family could come together and share a meal focused on real food without breaking the bank. I’m proud to say that Homewood welcomed us into the community,” Carlson said in a statement. “Living and working in Homewood, we understand how important parking is for our customers, and we are excited that the new location has great surface level parking, built in foot traffic, and excellent visibility in downtown.“
No date has been set for when the original Real & Rosemary location will close, or when the new one will open.
