ST. LOUIS — The Original Crusoe’s Restaurant at 3152 Osceola Street in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood has announced its impending closure.
The restaurant, which is noted for its fried chicken, has not set its exact closing date, but said on Facebook it will stay open for “the next couple of weeks or so, until we go through our inventory.”
Original Crusoe’s opened in 1979. The Facebook announcement on Wednesday said the restaurant’s closure “is probably one of the hardest things our family has had to do.”
According to the announcement, “We have had a rough summer with the power going out twice and losing a lot of food. Plus, our hoods not working for over a week with many attempts to fix it and then finding out it was a fix on Ameren’s end. It saddens us beyond words and we are so thankful for the support we have had over the years.”
