Drove by Catfish Parlour around 12:30 on my way home.
The place was packed yet again. Being this is the last day it’ll ever be open, we can hopefully at least get some to go, but, there’s no way we’re gonna’ try to brave the crowds and eat there.
Very sad, and I wish there was some way it could have been saved, but, it is what it is.
So long, old friend.

Pics in honor…

It's always sad when a favorite place closes so the like is for the great memories you and your family have had over the years

Oh, so glad you could indulge at your favorite restaurant, but it breaks my heart that this place you love is closing.

Thanks, Minnie…it is sad.
But, if we really feel the need, the one run by their son in Georgetown is still going to be open, as is the one in South Austin.

Although your (local) restaurant is closing for other reasons (retirement of owner), there have been so many changes in the restaurant business over the past 2 years -- everywhere. What I enjoy about your restaurant (from your reviews/photos) is that it's got its own individual character, great food, and a loyal following. That's not something easily replaced. I've known a place or two similar in these characteristics over time, and when they're gone -- they're GONE. They're a lot more than a menu, good food, and service.

Yes, too many one-of-a-kind restaurants have closed, mostly because of the damndemic.
This place is iconic.
I think the one in Georgetown is pretty much a clone, as it’s run by their son, and I’ve seen an interview with him, and he runs it exactly like the original (he said he learned everything from his parents and doesn’t vary), but, it’s a bit of a haul to get there.
But, I’m sure we’ll go from time to time…!!!

Would have been more hilarious if he drove so bad, he crashed.

They sure are, Cesar…!!!!!
Gonna’ miss it….

No to-go orders tonight. Too busy. Boy howdy, this sucks…

I actually woke up about 2:50a, and couldn’t get back to sleep. At around 4:45, I said to heck with this , I’m goin’ in to the office. I was clocked in by 5:42a, and got off a little after noon…!!!

Such an annoyance to wake up and can't go back to sleep.

Yep, most times I try to ride it out, but, recently, I just feel I need to not fight it and go somewhere I can be productive…!!!

Just got back from seeing the Eternals. I was entertained but I think the sequel has potential to be better than this one. If you see it stay until the very end of the credits, seems like an important set up scene to the next movie.
