A restaurant near and dear to a lot of people is closing it’s doors. Here is why one of North Carolina’s most popular restaurants is closing.
Lebowski’s Neighborhood Grill has been in the Dilworth neighborhood in Charlotte for a long time. The grill on East Boulevard has been a staple for fifteen years, so why are they shutting their doors? Here is the good news. This is not permanent.
In a social media post, the folks at Lebowski’s Neighborhood Grill say the restaurant is getting a face lift. The space is getting an update and undergoing changes with some help from a neighbor. Reid’s Fine Foods says “We are excited to work with the Lewbowski’s team” according to their social media post and reported in the Charlotte Observer.
The restaurant is themed after the movie, “The Big Lebowski”. Here is why one of North Carolina’s most popular restaurants is closing. According to Reid’s , the decor will be new and the menu will be updated. They also hope to be open every day. Reid’s Fine Foods has four locations in Charlotte. There is also one location in South Carolina. Reid’s has been around since 1928.
The new and improved Lebowski’s will be reopening later this month. We don’t know the exact date yet but as soon as we know we will pass it along.
