DailyDi Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 You know that great pizza I've been bragging about getting on Friday night. Well the guy who makes it is retiring in 5 weeks! He sold the business and the new guy is going to "do his own thing" so the best NY pizza in Alabama is going away! What great restaurants have you lost or you miss? Chain-wise I miss Kenny Rogers Roasters, they had the best sides! 1 Link to comment
Dubious Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I miss a restaurant that was in a short walking distance, but it burnt down, and he didn't get permissions to rebuild it the way he wanted, so it never got built. They had the best pizza in town. 1 Link to comment

If he's going to continue the restaurant, they could still be a chance that the great pizza wouldn't go away.?☺️? Link to comment

BabyChris121675 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 There was a great sub place where I lived that had some of the best I had and also a good pizza as well- sadly they closed because of a lawsuit over the name they used- rather than fight- they closed shop suddenly and I loved going there. It is always sad when a favorite place closes down! BabyChris 1 Link to comment
AwakenEvil Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 G's Grill in Granite City was huge staple in my home town. It was next to the Steel Mill, and was inside a gutted trailer. There for 20+ years and about 10 years ago, it go sold. It went through some changes but failed to maintain the same food and culture and it flopped sadly. now its gone. Another chicken restaurant that served fried chicken was Clucking Chicken and it was a great recipe for fried chicken. Their main cook whom 1/2 owner of the restaurant had a falling out with the other owner. The owner tried to hire other cooks and maintain the restaurant but it failed about 2 years after that. 1 Link to comment
feralfreak Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 the goodie shack, burnside ky, we moved. the local dairy bar, it shut down and never started back up. 1 Link to comment
ValentinesStuff Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 My local diner was sold, and closed for about 6 months. The new owner had to fix somethings that were grandfathered/ignored by the local health inspector. Nothing dangerous, just some new fixtures, flooring, stuff like that. The new owner didn't change the menu, but started skimping, and cutting portion sizes. It's a bit disappointing as the previous family had owned it for over 60 years. 1 Link to comment
Amber's Boy Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I miss Mulligan's. They had the best prime rib. 1 Link to comment
rusty pins Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Chinese place called Happy House. Great food and the owners used to close up for 3 weeks in July to go back to China for a vacation. Place burned to the ground one day and they never reopened. I think they just moved back to China. I'm sure there are a few others I miss that I can't think of at the moment. 1 Link to comment
Amber's Boy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 It sucks when you lose a good restaurant. I think it's worse though, when a restaurant you love loses a good cook. I've got a place uptown that was killer, now it's just okay. A town just north of me had an awesome BnG place. It was different everyday, but always good. Something has changed. 1 Link to comment

Little Cub Pants Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 One of my FAVORITE restaurants that I ABSOLUTELY miss, is Taco Bueno.?????? I used to go there all the time as a kid. They had the best burritos, and now they're basically on life support, they're not gone totally but it's definitely not the way it used to be when I was a kid. they're a LOT better than Taco Bell in my opinion and it's just better quality food in general. If I was the President of the United States I would give Taco Bueno a billion dollars to stay funded and also I would build one right in my local area.???? LOL!??? And Daddy could take me there all the time and Daddy would ALWAYS get EXTRA burritos and tacos for his little man!???♥️??♥️?♥️?♥️?♥️?????????????????????????????????♥️???? 1 Link to comment
le Hollandais Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 There was a great coffee/lunch place downtown where I used to meet some buddies for coffee on Tuesday afternoons. It's gone, now. The owner just couldn't hang on during the pandemic. 1 Link to comment
