In a fast-paced place like Austin, restaurants come and go all the time. Know of an Austin area restaurant closure that’s not on this list? Drop us a line at austin@eater.com.
Trudy’s
In one of the most significant closing stories this month, the 48-year-old Tex-Mex chain that has long been an Austin staple closed its last remaining location. In a post on Instagram, however, it noted that this is but a chapter that’s closing — Trudy’s will continue forward. Scott Taylor, CEO of Cherry Bounce Hospitality, told the Austin Business Journal that the group is still working to try and save Trudy’s by finding a smaller location or selling the brand to another hospitality group.
Cuantas Hamburguesas
This food truck spin-off of Cuantos Tacos closed down its hamburger game on Saturday, January 25 after opening in 2023. In an Instagram post, the team called it “goodbye for now,” so perhaps some pop-ups or a return is in the cards?
Olive and June
While it’s not closing completely, this restaurant is pivoting to “private events and catering,” per a statement from the restaurant shared on Reddit. Eater Austin reached out to its press contact for more information. Its website has not been updated since the new year, nor has its Facebook, and its Instagram appears to be deleted. The restaurant is still operational on Google Maps. The statement adds that diners can look forward to “brunches, themed dinners, and other fun hosted events.”
Little Ola’s Biscuits
Olamaie closed its Little Ola’s Biscuits shop in Wells Branch. An Instagram post indicated that the closure is part of building construction. Eater Austin previously reported that it is expected to open another location in Mueller early this year.
Black Star Co-Op Brewpub
As previously reported by Eater Austin, this brewery shut down on January 12. It was the world’s first member-owned and managed brewpub. Eater Austin will report any new information about what’s next for the co-op.
Con Todo
As also previously reported by Eater Austin, the James Beard- and Michelin-recognized food truck has ceased operations. Chef Joseph Gomez said he is stepping away from Con Todo but will continue to do work as an activist and chef.
