Wylie & Rum is bringing a new weekend brunch menu to Atlanta’s Reynoldstown neighborhood. The Caribbean kitchen and rum bar serves brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with dishes ranging from jerk chicken and waffles to Shrimp N’ Grits, plus brunch cocktails including the Rumosa.

The menu gives Atlanta diners another weekend option in a neighborhood known for its local businesses and gathering places. Wylie & Rum’s announcement describes the new lineup as a mix of familiar brunch formats and flavors drawing on the restaurant’s Caribbean-inspired approach.

Jerk Chicken and Waffles Lead the Menu

The restaurant’s Jerk Chicken and Waffle Flip pairs three jumbo grilled wings seasoned with its signature jerk spices with a warm Dutch waffle. The restaurant says it finishes the dish with rum butter and spiced syrup.

Another chicken-and-waffle option is the Cap-Haïtian Special. According to the announcement, it features a Red Stripe-brined fried chicken breast with Scotch bonnet peppers, a Dutch waffle, rum butter, and fresh seasonal fruit.

For a bowl-style brunch, the Jerk Chicken Breakfast Bowl brings together grilled jerk-marinated chicken, yellow rice, scrambled eggs, black beans, sweet plantains, and avocado. It combines several elements in one dish while keeping the restaurant’s listed flavors and ingredients at the center.

The Hangover Burger offers a different take on a brunch staple. The restaurant describes it as a jerk-spiced brisket-and-sirloin patty topped with a fried egg, jerk bacon, Swiss cheese, tobacco onions, and habanero aioli.

More Weekend Brunch Options

The menu also includes Shrimp N’ Grits, with jumbo shrimp sautéed in Creole sauce and served over creamy Logan Turnpike grits. A French toast option features brioche soaked in custard with vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then served with spiced syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit.

Wylie & Rum is adding brunch service while keeping some existing menu favorites in the mix. The announcement lists the Miami Cuban and Guava BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich among the restaurant’s other options.

The range offers visitors a few different ways to plan brunch, from a waffle-based plate to a rice bowl, a burger, or a sandwich. Dish descriptions and ingredients in this article come from the restaurant’s announcement. Atlanta Wave TV has not visited the restaurant or independently reviewed the menu.

The Rumosa Joins the Brunch Drinks

The drink lineup features the Rumosa, Cuban Spiked Coffee, and W&R Signature Bloody Mary, alongside a classic mimosa. The restaurant says its full beverage menu includes nearly 80 rum-based drinks.

The Rumosa gives the new brunch menu a named rum cocktail to go with its broader rum selection. The release does not provide additional drink ingredients, so this report does not speculate about how the drinks are prepared.

For readers planning a visit, the restaurant lists its regular hours as 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Weekend brunch is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, according to the announcement.

A Reynoldstown Restaurant With Family Roots

Wylie & Rum is a Caribbean kitchen and rum bar in Reynoldstown, founded by father-and-son restaurateurs Tony and David Lewis. Tony Lewis is also the co-founder of Bridgetown Grill.

The restaurant takes its name from its location near the corner of Moreland Avenue and Wylie Street, as well as its rum-based drink menu. The location connects the restaurant’s name to the surrounding neighborhood, while the menu and bar give it a distinct identity within Atlanta’s dining scene.

Wylie & Rum describes its food as an “unapologetically inauthentic” interpretation of Caribbean cuisine. Its stated approach brings together Jamaican, Cuban, European, and other influences. The description reflects the restaurant’s own framing of its menu, rather than a claim that the dishes represent one single culinary tradition.

Murals by Brian Steely and Puerto Rican artist Tommy Bronx are part of the restaurant’s visual setting. The restaurant also offers catering for corporate and special events, according to the announcement.
