Brian Dunsmoor’s namesake restaurant, Dunsmoor, is the latest iteration of his ongoing exploration of American heritage cooking. It is, first and foremost, a restaurant for the community that surrounds it, and a loving expression of the relentless research that has informed his cooking for the last ten years.

We offer the full menu at tables in our dining room and at the chef's counter, as well as at our outdoor tables. Reservations are recommended but we make every effort to accommodate walk-ins when possible.

Dunsmoor's wine bar, accessible either through the restaurant or via its own door on Ave 35, does not accept reservations and serves a limited menu of our raw and larder items.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Few chefs can work a hearth like Brian Dunsmoor, who cut his teeth at Southern star Hatchet Hall before opening his namesake restaurant in 2022. The long tables adorned with flickering candles make the restaurant an ideal place for a date, as do fiery dishes like wood-roasted oysters and mushroom-crusted pork chops. The cornbread, slathered in cultured butter, is the stuff of dreams.

    The bone marrow was the fattiest I’ve ever tired. And the sand dabs were small and even once we’d de-boned it.. they were disappointing. I think we ordered the wrong things as other friends said the pork and burger is the way to go. It was meh.

    Terrible service. In the world of customer service this place lacks everything from A-Z. Like all the the other it will shutter soon enough.

    The food is absolutely fantastic – and the service has been unbeatable. We have eaten there four times and this has always been the case. But unfortunately, what has also always been the case is that the wine pours, If you buy wine by the glass, are absurdly inadequate. We have complained on two visits and they’ve kindly added a little wine to the glas, but it is clearly a policy that needs to be changed.  So my advice is simply don’t buy wine by the glass and enjoy everything else about this fantastic restaurant.

    Dunsmoor in Glassell Park offers a fantastic dining experience. We enjoyed delicious cornbread, Carolina Gold rice, and pork chop. The vibe was elevated by great music featuring Grand Puba and Wu-Tang Clan. Highly recommended for both its food and atmosphere.

    We had the most fantastic meal at Dunsmoor. I had been hearing great things and this exceeded our expectations. The trout was one of the best fish dishes we've ever had. Everything is cooked over an open flame which is so cool to see.
