Noticed yesterday: the Bone Daddy’s restaurant on 183 near Duval is closed.
Apple Maps calls it “temporarily closed”, but the corporate website lists only three locations in Texas (Arlington, Dallas, and Lubbock).
I don’t really lament this. We went there once for an SDC. The barbecue was pretty average, and the experience was basically Twin Peaks without the class.
My most vivid memory of that visit, just to give you some idea of what I mean by “without the class”: there was a young waitress who was wearing a strategically placed coaster…because the cut of her shorts exposed too much plumber’s crack.
Oddly though, this was the most successful of the three restaurants in that center to start with: there was a Zio’s that folded pretty quickly (and has remained unoccupied since), a Razoo’s Cajun that lasted for a fair while (it eventually closed, was torn down, and is now a Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen which seems to be a roaring success), and the Bone Daddy’s. That probably held out as long as it did because there’s a hotel within easy walking distance.
