Applebee’s Bar and Grill Shuts Doors Near Brodie Lane

Austin’s Favorite Grill Closes

Residents of Southwest Austin were recently met with the surprising closure of the local favorite, Applebee’s Bar and Grill, located near Brodie Lane. The restaurant, popular for its wide-ranging menu of salads, chicken, pasta, and burgers, officially shut its doors in April.

A Sudden Sign-off

The establishment, positioned near the well-attended Spec’s Wine, Spirits, and Finer Foods store, was a staple for many community members who enjoyed its relaxed atmosphere and varied dining options. The sudden closure of the restaurant has left many local patrons questioning the reasons behind it. Despite multiple attempts, officials from the Applebee’s chain have not returned requests for comment regarding the closure.

Applebee’s in the Neighborhood

With this establishment’s exit, the closest Applebee’s locations to residents in this area of Austin are now situated off William Cannon Drive, in Round Rock, and at the Lakeline Mall.

The Community Reaction

The local residents have been left disappointed by the closure of this beloved spot. For many, Applebee’s represented more than just a restaurant – it was a gathering place for friends and family, a must-stop for events and celebrations, and an integral part of the community’s social fabric. The choice of Applebee’s to cease operations at this location has left a notable void in the local dining scene.

Looking Ahead

A significant question that remains is what will happen to the now-vacant property on 5010 W US Hwy 290 Service Rd? As yet, there has been no word on any potential future plans for the premises. Whatever eventuates, locals will be hoping the space can be filled in a way that retains the spirit of community that characterised the now-closed Applebee’s near Brodie Lane.
