Hopefully a new ownership group who gives a sh*t about running a restaurant for more than just Cards games can purchase.  They would close at random times.  And were not 24 hours even on the weekends.  They basically played kitchen with a St. Louis icon and failed.

I’m really mixed about this. The Eat Rite is an icon that should be a St. Louis treasure. And I want it to be. I ate there once in the 90’s when I worked at Purina. Between the the sh*tty service, and ‘elementary school lunch hamburgers’ and a lunch hour that lasted 90 minutes, I’m not surprised it’s closed. One and done and never went back. And this goes for every restaurant closure I read about. If I’ve been there and read its closed, 99 to 100% of the time, I’m not surprised.*

Yeah, it is best experience at 3am.  Not 12:30pm.

Sad to see it close. Also feel bad for the couple that reopened it. That couple probably put a lot of their money and energy into.
