The owner is a pos so it makes sense

the owner fraudulently used ppp loans for himself rather than it’s intended use and got caught, i don’t have sympathy for him, but i do for the employees who are losing jobs

Just a reminder that the owners committed fraud with PPP loans by making up fictional employees.

I absolutely love the local restaurant scene and love supporting people in our community--but these people are shit and don't deserve to have a business.

Really sucks the owner turned out to be nothing more than a fraudster. They were delicious.

Oh well, at least Mimi's Soulfood is holding down the fried chicken game.

But… however will I bleed from my ass???

Chipotle is still open.

There is so much fraud from the ppp program it’s ridiculous! Missouri cut the hours of state workers to collect federal money.

Trash food and a garbage owner good riddance honestly 🤷‍♂️

K fried on battlefield and national has strong fried chicken game in my opinion! Check it out if you haven't yet!

Ok can famous Dave's come back at that location 🤣

The people that ran that Famous Daves are at Sugarfire. Or at least used to be.

I will do so. Forgot about them when I went out to Mimi's yesterday.

Better learn how to make prison wine in the toilet. LOL

thanks for the rec!

The managers (not all of them) that they hired to manage their stores were absolutely awful fucking people

You couldn’t pay me to go to Bourbon & Beale again. Disappointing on all accounts and the owner doesn’t deserve a dime from any of us.

No way! It’s so much better though, I’m shocked.

Taco Bell is open until 4am I believe.

Great the first time we went. Absolutely bottom of the barrel dogshit the second time.

Food was inconsistent trash.

Not seeing the allure here. Weird cuts of bone in chicken. Haven't tried the boneless pieces, maybe that's what good.

That taco place in Branson is never opening now

Yep! That was one of their selling points. And I was like lolno...

Honestly tried it twice and it was trash both times. Got better food from the worst of the military dining facilities I ate at during my 17 years in service.

I ordered the oysters. I shouldn’t have to cut oysters with a steak knife. They were the size of my hand, which to anyone not familiar with oysters is a bad thing.

Not a major loss in terms of chicken joints, their chicken was subpar and their spicy chicken was all heat and no flavor. Shame the owner was a scumbag though, that really sucks for those working there.

Not surprised

Wow! I didn’t know he owned all three of those restaurants

I know the person who commented. Lol

There a lot of those owning restaurants.in Springfield ...

good food sucks the owner is a fraud

they’re also blocking anybody on facebook that mentions it lmfao. i guess because they’re insecure?

Maybe if their business wasn't run horribly with insane wait times, too high of prices for declining food quality, and a side of FRAUD I'd give a shit. There's a million other chicken sandwich places in town.

Boneless chicken breast there is super tasty

Fucking Hot Cluckers. They went to shit after they moved to south Campbell. Terrible service, insane wait times. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt multiple times and they just continually let me down.

Good riddance. Why make it so hard to love you, hot chicken restaurant, why?

I need to go back and try that for sure

Same here. I had the bone in chicken and it was pretty bad. Lots of bones and tendons. I'd like to give the boneless a try but it will be hard for me to give it another shot.

Like the Facebook comment, they should have stuck with what made them popular: walk up counter chicken joint with simple menu. They ruined themselves. I did wonder how a restaurant decided it was smart to move to a large location in the middle of covid and completely change their business.

Went last week for lunch, it was meh, and almost completely empty during lunch rush. I won't miss it when it goes out of business.

Did all the employees know they were shutting down or did it just happen without the employees knowing?

I've been told he was also fraudulently applying for loans using Buz Hosfeld's name (deceased, very well regarded, former owner of White River) after buying the brewery. A story about all of this says the federal government is currently suing him and going after his properties.

Haven't tried them yet, I keep forgetting they're nearby at lunchtime. Glad to hear they're good.

I really enjoy them. I hear Queen City Soul Kitchen is really good too, but I forget about them when deciding where to go.

It is damn good. I've been meaning to try Smerqs on Republic. The reviews are through the roof.

Looking at the menus they're probably pretty similar quality food, but Mimi's looks like they have more choices. I'll have to try Mimi's next week, thanks for mentioning them. Those croissants look like ones a family friend used to make for Thanksgiving. I could eat those all day long.

Yup, saw the owner of Norma’s carriage house (Tony) pay off the health inspector. That was my last day working there.

Shitty ass food and poor service, not surprised

I love the bone-in. Especially sauced in the standard sweet and spicy korean sauce. They do seem to cut the breast and thigh down smaller so maybe its just not what your used to and not knowing how to navigate it.
