Evans Towne Center has seen is fair share of restaurants that have come and gone through the years and now welcomes two new names to the list. The Sabi Japanese Hibachi Restaurant will be opening it’s doors in the location that has formerly housed several other restaurant businesses including the old Widow Browns, and most recently, Bo Daddy’s. Both restaurants have been located at the far left end of the Washington Road Plaza.
Replacing the closed Quizno’s restaurant is the Laziza Mediterranean Grill that will specialize in Kabobs, Shawarma, and Falafels. According to the sign posted on the door, you can visit their website at: www.lazizagrill.com or their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/lazizagrill for more information.
The plaza is now completely full of restaurant options including a Thai restaurant and a fast-food Chinese restaurant as well.
There is a sign posted on the door of Willie Sue’s Food for the Soul on Columbia Road in Grovetown. It says “Closed for Vacation until July 21st.” Unfortunately, that date has come and gone and the buzz is the owner of Willie Sue’s is trying to sell his business.
He inherited the lease a few years back from Chuck Baldwin’s son Matt and tried to resurrect some old family recipes in the restaurant. His family built up the Po Folks chain many years ago and was famous for homestyle cooking with a pair of sides, roll, and drink. In 2010, the owner of Willie Sue’s expanded and added another space in the plaza, which is on the outside of the Ivy Falls Subdivision. There is a Mexican restaurant and a Subway in the plaza as well.
Upon further review, the Buzz on Biz has learned through their Facebook page that the status of the business has been listed as “Closed Now.”
Willie Sue’s opened its doors to the public on June 1, 2009. They offered country style cooking, aka soul food with a daily menu filled with meats and veggies and a plethora of homemade desserts.
