My Grandma Alvilda's favorite restaurant! (Yes, Alvilda was her first name) She always clipped Beefcarver coupons from the TV book that came in the Sunday Free Press. It's the end of an era.

I used to live in Royal Oak and I grew up watching commercials for it on TV— sad it’s leaving! Many memories!

See - this is why I commented that I hoped the Magic Lamp will still be there in a few months... You can't count on anything staying around forever!😮

Have you been to Daly’s Drive-In in Livonia? They’re going to close after being around for over 67 years! 😭

This is my hometown, I’ve known Beefcarver as a Royal Oak institution my whole life - however in recent years they’ve had some shady business practices and quality has gone down significantly. I’ll miss that big red sign (it’s how I remembered what street my friend lived on growing up!) and I’m sad they’re closing, but unfortunately not surprised
