I already thought it had closed down a long time ago.

That was another location.

Hurt bad when they put the bypass around snook.

Mom and Pop restaurants are having a difficult time in our economy and I think it's not going to get better for many years...if ever.

You could not get that much steak for the price anywhere else. And it wasn't awful, either. Our local options are dwindling.

End of an era. I remember hearing whispers of that place when I was in college back in 2000. Finally started going out there and loved it. Sad to hear it's closing. That said, I haven't been there in years.

Yep. It appears that one or two locals are closing for every chain restaurant that opens up.

At time or two a month people should pick out a locally owned and managed restaurant and go eat there even if it's a little more pricey.

We eat mostly local.

Chick Fil A, Jersey Mike's, and Freddy's are usual exceptions but we mostly eat from locally owned restaurants if we dine out.

I just mentioned to my wife the other day that I was in the mood for some chicken fried chicken at Sodolaks. It is a short drive for us, and I have to admit that this news really bums me out. I drove by there today on my way home, and there is a note posted on the front door, saying that the restaurant was closing immediately.

Too bad that places like these are closing, but I'm sure the economics are making it harder to survive.

I thought the article said something about "transition in ownership ". Could be that they just got tired of running a restaurant. Even little ole Snook is getting more housing these days seems like there would be more customers but perhaps not.

Have fond memories of eating very bland meals at Sodolak's. Many of them with my grandfather. Ate there at least a hundred times during summers working his ranch on hwy 50 during college.
