You may remember that the Tootie's owner Eileen passed away in May of 2014. Despite Eileen's passing the restaurant stayed open, however the most recent Yelp reviews had a lot of complaints. A lot of people complained about the restaurant running out of food, the food being bad, and that the restaurant was always closed at random times.
Tootie's Texas BBQ is the fifth restaurant from season 8 (2014) of Restaurant Impossible to close and the Restaurant Impossible Update Page has been updated with this information.
That's too bad. I didn't know she had died, either. As soon as I read the title, I thought 'the one with the awesome showpiece?'
ReplyDeleteWow, that is sad.
ReplyDeleteI"m glad Eileen got to see the restaurant before she passed away. I'm saddened that they closed, but I suppose I'm not surprised. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteI went about a week after the restaurant was redone and it was disgusting. The chickeN Salad somehow tasted like fish and the service was terrible. Funny thing is, i went to high school with one of the younge family members. While i was there 3 family members who do not work at the restaurant were eating and drinking for free, bragging and were actually quite loud. The express location is on the side of a bar and noone from the family works in the bar kitchen, food is ok if you are drinking.
