The Drake Jethro's is closing after Sunday until March for a remodel. Staff will work at other locations while the renovations are being completed.

Heard last night that no work has begun on the place and Gerleman is telling people they will be reopened by Relays. Sounds fishy ...

Mc Bulldog - 2/6/2022
Heard last night that no work has begun on the place and Gerleman is telling people they will be reopened by Relays. Sounds fishy ...
I'm not sure they're ever gonna reopen....saw this on Facebook
WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR JETHRO'S BBQ?DID NOT REOPEN IN MARCH AS PLANNED
What's up with Jethro's BBQ?
Three things are certain:
+ Restaurant did not reopen in March as expected
+ No permits for remodeling are in the city's online file
+ No application for a new liquor license is on file (old one expires April 18).
Beyond that, it's unclear what the company's plans are. There has been no response to requests for comment.
Jethro's closed in December. At the time, it was announced the eatery was to be remodeled and then reopen in March.
It did not reopen in March. Nor is there any evidence of remodeling. In fact, there doesn't appear to have been activity at the restaurant in at least two months.
A UPS ticket on the front door has an early February date.
This had been the flagship restaurant for the Clampet Corner restaurant company started by Bruce Gerleman. Located at 3100 Forest, this was the first restaurant in the chain.

The rumor I heard was that they "started" the work and discovered a mold problem (in the rafters of the old Pizza Hut roof) that was beyond the scope of the intended work. At a minimum...this pushes out the timeline. Lots of speculation that it's done.Also heard that a complete rebuild is expected...
Who knows?
Just DU it !

I've heard from 2 different sources in the past couple weeks that Cowboy Jack's BBQ is moving in the old Jethros location. Never heard of it before ...

Jethro's finally officially announced they're not reopening their Drake location. Opening a new one down by Wells Fargo Arena instead.
Also never heard of Cowboy Jack's.....looks like there used to be a place by that name in West Glen

Cowboy Jack's is a rebrand of Famous Dave's. Another faux barbeque.
Did you know that the movie Soylent Green was set in 2022? Just saying...

I drove past the Drake neighborhood recently and noticed a sign hanging from the old Jethro's. It said Doc Holliday's Roadhouse coming soon. Looks to be a burger restaurant expanding from North Dakota.
