The Joint: 360 Taste

By JOHN A. WINTERS, Publisher

Everyone has their “go-to” place to eat. It might be with linen tablecloths and waiters in ties, or where you throw peanuts on the floor and carve your initials in the wooden tables. Whatever and wherever, it’s your “joint.”

This month’s featured joint is …

360 Taste

“Eclectic” is defined as “deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources.

If you find a joint that serves sushi-grade tuna bowls, brisket hamburgers, and chicken quesadillas, let’s agree we have nailed “eclectic” down. Or as they like to say, “This is Where Bowls, Tacos, & Fries Come Together!!”

Welcome to 360 Taste, located in the SummerGrove subdivision, where Chef Kyle Mayes holds sway. If the name 360 Taste rings a bell, that’s because you’ve probably seen their food truck (IG @360foodtruck) of the same name around town. They now split their time between the food truck and the restaurant.

For foodies, Mayes studied under Chef Lance Jeffries Jr., who has served as executive chef at several area locations and is now running all things food-related at the Newnan Country Club.

Back to 360 Taste. This is the type of restaurant where you go, “I can’t wait to come back and try …”  And we will say it now. Their french fries – served with a garlic aioli sauce – may be the best in the county, heck, The South.

One secret we are happy to share is to check out their Instagram page @360.taste, where Chef posts each day’s special. Things like: naw, you gotta go check it out.
