When Baudo’s officials announced the popular restaurant would close January 19, NEWSTALK 101.5 FM & WNWS.COM compiled a (partial) list of restaurants that closed in Jackson in 2018.
Casa Marina
After 13 years, Casa Marina, a popular Mexican restaurant, 4528, 76 Old Hickory Blvd. E, closed in October.
Owner Juan Garcia said he was opening a new restaurant in Sparta, which is about 20 miles south of Cookeville.
Stevo’s Hot Wings
Stevo’s Hot Wings, 936 Campbell Street, closed in August.
Described as a colorful chicken shack supplying hot wings with a variety of sauces, plus burgers and other quick bites, Stevo’s was located in a facility that was home to Jackson’s first Dairy Queen.
Stevo’s also closed at 31 Bowling Drive.
Huddle House
Huddle House, 1118 Whitehall Street, closed due to franchise violations, in August.
According to corporate officials in Atlanta, one violation included the non-use of approved menu items.
Owned by Donald and Kimberly Lloyd of Jackson, Huddle House opened in January 2017.
The 2,500-square-foot standalone facility is located next door to an 18,000-square-foot retail center – Bre Avenue at Madison Place.
Zen Steakhouse
Zen Steakhouse & Sushi Bar closed at 660 Carriage House Drive in late June.
Casa Adobe
Casa Adobe Restaurante at 1110 Vann Drive served its last customers in June, and its closing became official when Pride Brokerage Services – a real estate company in Franklin – placed a sign in a front window announcing the property is for lease.
“I don’t want to speculate, but we were surprised they closed,” said Steve Stanley, a leasing agent for Pride Brokerage Services, “We’ve shown the property twice, and it’s for lease, not for sale.”
Stanley said a national company wanted to build a new facility on the property after purchasing and razing the existing building which consists of 4,640 square feet.
(NOTE: West Alley Bar-B-Q will open at 1110 Vann Drive in February)
Coyote Blues
Coyotes Blues, 4 Stonebridge Blvd., closed in March.
Coyote Blues continues to have a presence in Jackson with its Food Truck, and the company said it will also continue to cater.
