MORE CROOKED BUSINESS OWNERS!!!!...and we wonder why more and more jobs are going to Mexico…for the cheap labor and a better chance of NOT getting caught ripping off the employees….and to get away from the EXCELLENT press at WSPA!!!!So sorry to see the place close, but it’s for the better, they would only raise the prices to support somebody’s BAAAAD habit!!!
i’m sad to see this happen. but it is not the companys fault, the people who bought it from the company mismanaged the money, it’s their fault.
I cannot believe this is happening to another great restaurant, we really enjoyed going there and the food was great. We have saw this happen to so many in Spartanburg, its a shame. This is why so many people go to greenville.
Disappointed
