Big Tex Cantina Announces It is Closing
Decatur Metro | November 3, 2014 | 9:55 amUPDATE: I followed up before originally posting and asked the Fox Bros PR team if there would be any official word on the closing. Here it is…
Fox Brothers Restaurant Group (FBRG), the team behind Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and Big Tex Decatur, is closing Big Tex on November 3. The Big Tex space will be retained by the group for an unforeseen period of time.
Growing demand on the Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q kitchen, stimulated in part by the designation of the restaurant as the official barbecue of the Atlanta Falcons, made the decision to close Big Tex necessary. “We are certainly going to miss serving our loyal friends in Decatur we have made over the 3 years and we hope to be back one day. We are thankful for the additional demand on our barbecue business but closing Big Tex is bittersweet. We will be focusing on the future of Fox Bros Bar-B-Q with expansion and the build out of our new catering/commissary facility on Ottley Drive. The new commissary will really be a game changer for us and help meet the needs of our restaurant in Candler Park and future Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q restaurants,” Jonathan Fox, Partner and Pitmaster of Fox Bros Bar-B-Q.
Big Tex Decatur, located at 308 W Ponce de Leon Ave in Decatur opened the doors in May of 2011 and has served Texas-inspired food and drinks since 2011.
Rebecca points out this note from Big Tex on Facebook from just minutes ago…
Thank You for 3 great years, but it’s time for us to say goodbye. We had a great time serving Decatur and look forward to seeing you soon!
