I was not a big fan of their food, but hate to see any restaurants close. I hope there is indeed a new owner in play so the space will be used.

We liked the fish and chips. That's sad.

We've never been there, it's just too out of the way for us to go for Fish-n-Chips, Shepherd's Pie or Bubbles & Squeaks. But I hate seeing any small business go under. But in reading over the article I see where 8 other dinning places have also gone under there. It just begs the question of just how many eating establishments must fail at a strip mall before people figure out it's not a great location? Unless you're a Smoothie, Yogurt, Cupcake or BBQ place, you had better be a really good restaurant like Blackstone Grill is supposed to be.

I've been there twice and never thought that anyone was there primarily for the food.

Glad we missed it (Shannon's) but after reading reviews on Yelp about Blackstone. I'm really interested in giving it a try, any recommendations?

I've had lunch at Blackstone a couple of times - it is very good. I'll be anxious to hear your thoughts after you try it Madcap.

mainly for housewives looking for a fling or to vomit in the restroom.
