The big national brands always survive, but the mom and pop restaurants are struggling to survive this. Post the names of your favorite restaurants that have been driven out of business and will not reopen.

Hit home for me yesterday when Uncle Bo's in Arlington went under after an 11 year run. One of my favorite craft burger places.

Saw David's Seafood Grill in Cedar Hill closed too. That was a favorite for meeting up with my parents. Great seafood.

Fred's isn't closing down for good. They own the land on W7th so there's no reason for them to open back up at significantly reduced service #'s.

And I don't know the specifics on the lease for the BlueBonnet Circle location, but it's more or less the anchor for that entire development so they probably aren't too too worried about their lease payments there.

If Fred's shuts down then Betsy Price should go ahead and take a torch to the whole damn town.

Meh, Fred's lost it's soul after West 7th gentrified and the beer garden went away. Like Joe T's, like the food's ok but the atmosphere was what made that place great.

If Dell's in Richardson closes down, I'm going to declare a fatwa against coronavirus.

I'll agree it's not the same now that W. 7th is high brow - but it's still my favorite place in that part of town.

Agree, I work down the street and still used to hit it at least once a month before corona.

I believe I read Cork and Pig on W 7th bit the dust.
Proposition Joe
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, Cork and Pig was positioned in an expensive spot that is/was difficult to do curbside.

I liked it, but if they are throwing in the towel after less than two months with a parent company that has $$$, then chances are they weren't long for that spot anyways.

But we can just spin the wheel and see what eatery wants to spend way too much money in rent to move into that spot next.

The tavern and pacific table, by the same owners as cork and pig, I hope won't close. They are my favorites

The Tavern, Pacific Table, and Press are all owned by one guy's restaurant group. I think he only has partial ownership in Cork and Pig whereas i think he owns the others outright.

Jake's on Henderson is closing for good.

Mia's is not closing but is moving to the Buzzbrew's location down the curb on Lemmon.

Interesting. I've always felt that space has a higher and better use than a Jakes.

Jake's has been struggling in many locations for years.
