National Burger Chain Closes Restaurants, Might Be Filing For Bankruptcy

The long list of restaurant chains closing locations due to financial reasons keeps growing. Now, joining the likes of Red Lobster, Pizza Hut, Boston Market, TGI Fridays, Popeyes, Tijuana Flats, Cracker Barrel and Applebee’s in shuttering locations, is national burger chain BurgerFi, and also like some other companies, they might also be filing for bankruptcy soon.

The chain which now has 120 locations across the country, closed eight restaurants recently as part of an effort to boost efficiency. The move follows 14 other locations closing last year. In an earnings call, the company explained, “We continue to evaluate our portfolio with a close look at cash flow and profitability.”

The company has been struggling recently. In April, they defaulted on their credit agreement and in January, their stock was delisted from NASDAQ. In a press release, they stated that there are “several key initiatives with the goal of enhancing the company’s prospects and ensuring stable management as the company goes through the process of reviewing strategic alternatives.” However, they added that “there can be no assurance, however, that the strategic review process will result in an outcome favorable to the company or its stakeholders.”

Essentially, the company may need to declare bankruptcy, and they’ve filed documents with the SEC explaining that bankruptcy is a possible outcome. As of now, there is no official word on if more closings or a bankruptcy are in BurgerFi’s future.

If this joint was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode, we would literally eat there every day!

Maria’s Cafe is an absolute must try!

***** Maria’s Cafe, 10 Southwest Osceola Street, Stuart, Florida 34994, (772) 781-5886.

Got a real good diner for you guys to check out, Maria’s Cafe in Stuart.

Real easy tale to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Maria’s Cafe in Stuart and its food and service were right on the money! Inside booth, table, counter seating/ outdoor covered patio table seating, reasonably priced full boat- breakfast & lunch menu, open 7 days a week 7am-2pm.

Just between us, since 2006 (that’s when Jeffeats.com was born) I’ve been in more Florida “mom & pop” diners (not to mention bagel joints) than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook! With that in mind, I’m telling you guys, that Maria’s Cafe definitely ranks right up there as one of the best ones! Look! I know when something tastes real good, is priced right and when my coffee cup is continuously re-filled without my having to ask the waiter/waitress!

You guys gotta try Maria’s Cafe!

* Humor!

An atheist was seated next to a dusty old cowboy on an airplane and he turned to him and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The old cowboy, who had just started to read his book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.

“Okay,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The atheist, visibly surprised by the old cowboy’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the cowboy replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know shit?”.

***** Granger’s Grille, 802 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, (561)276-7881.

Do you guys know what scarily good means? Well, Granger’s Grille in Delray Beach is scarily good.

Real quick story…

Hole in the wall with scarily good American-Style food located at 215 Northeast 6th Avenue, Delray Beach after 23 years was forced to move- because the landlord sold the building it was in. A few months later (January, 2017) the “former” hole in the wall re-opened 3-times larger at 892 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach serving the same scarily good American-Style food!

All Jeff Eats can tell you guys, is that if you’re into absolutely dynamite burgers/ wings/ bbq ribs/ fried zucchini/ onion rings/ French fries/ tuna salad/ chili/ fried chicken/ onion soup/ meatloaf so-on and so forth, portions that could choke a horse, super reasonable prices and a staff that can’t do enough for you- Granger’s Grille is a must try for you!

You can check menu/info at grangersgrille.com.

Granger’s Grille is open Sunday noon-8pm, Monday-Friday 11:00am-9:30pm.

***** Granger’s Bar & Grill, 215 NE 6th Avenue, Delray Beach Florida (561) 276-7881.

Granger’s is a 38 seat bar-grill located on Federal Highway. The joint has something like 10 seats at the bar and a handful of booths and tables…one waitress-one busgirl-3 in the kitchen and that’s the whole shooting match. By the way, the waitress and busgirl are also the bartenders. The bathrooms are out-houses in the parking lot.

Granger’s food is absolutely great. Appetizers, burgers, salads, main dishes everything is delicious. How that little kitchen bangs out so much delicious food is beyond me, but in the 30-40 times that I have eaten at Granger’s everything was right on the money.

I am telling you, that this little joint is a MUST for you. Wear tee shirt/shorts so you don’t look stupid. The joint is open Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. The prices are also dirt cheap and if you are there on a Saturday Night you have to try the brick of meatloaf that is one of this joint’s specialities.
