Bedrock Cafe Closed?

  With nobody there, and nobody answering the phones, it seems as if the Bedrock Cafe, located at 2227 Tiffin Ave., has closed its doors!  No warning was given, but considering that no marketing was done to promote the opening, we're not surprised.  We reviewed the place a while back, and found it to be middle of the road-not amazing, but not too bad, either.  However, our readers almost unanimously had bad experiences.  Here are a few of their comments:

I was a little disappointed. It turned out to be quite the Midwestern bland restaurant with an dull menu. If this is the image the Bedrock Cafe is going to project, people will have no problem going down the road a bit to Cheddar's. As much as it pains me to say it, this restaurant needs to step up its game.  -Nate L.  

The service was ok, the food nothing special at all,same choices as many other restaurants around, nothing unique or different, once was enough for us. - Gina S.

Overall we felt the prices were high and the food was "average" at best, the service for us was far below our expectations and we will probably not be returning. - Julie

I had to come find your review. Today, I think I had my worst dining experience ever, my displeasure and frustration with this establishment is almost beyond words right now......what a joke! Bed Rock Cafe in Findlay is a horrible place to eat. I had better service from my grade school lunch ladies than today! - Jay Yeater

With reviews like that, I guess their closing was destined to be.  What a shame-in our opinion, if they had opened in the mall or as a diner, and properly marketed themselves, they could have really done well for themselves.  Que Sera Sera, as the saying goes.

As of this moment, the Bedrock Cafe's closing is only gossip-we can't get a hold of anyone to confirm or deny anything.  If any of you have more info, please share it with us in the comments section, or email us at findlayeatsout@gmail.com.

The Big Jerk Will Be Closing Forever!

We first heard of this via Twitter (thanks @jayyeater for the tip), and we confirmed it on their Facebook fan page;

The Big Jerk, located at 227 1/2 N. Main St. (at the corner of Center St.) will be closing their doors on March 21st!

Owned and operated by Michael and Debi Bulkowski, the same folks who run Revolver, The Big Jerk only opened just a few months ago. The mod, fun decor is complimented by their eclectic menu of jerk-style and Thai-style sandwiches, and they had been gathering a bit of an underground following. Another interesting aspect of the business is the fact that they remain open until 3am on the weekends to accommodate the bar crowd.

Sadly, it appears that an underground following just isn't enough to keep a restaurant open in this economy. We urge all of you to visit them before it's too late- they are open Tuesday-Thursday from 4pm-10pm and Friday-Saturday from 4pm-3am.
