A restaurant south of Boston that is located in an historic building is shutting down.
According to a source, the Abington Depot Restaurant is closing its doors, with a Facebook post from the Railroad Street spot saying the following:
For 23 years, you have supported our staff, allowed us to be a part of your lives and helped to cement the Depot family in history. I am eternally grateful to have been a recipient or your generosity & kindness. Unfortunately, it is time for us to go. We have been struggling to keep up with the soaring costs to operate and it is no longer feasible. Not the way I saw it ending, but it is the reality.
Another Facebook post mentions that the dining spot plans to close on Saturday, December 17.
The Abington Depot Restaurant resides in a former passenger and freight railroad depot that dates back to the 1890s; the dining spot has been known as a family-friendly eatery over the years, offering such items as wings, nachos, quesadillas, French onion soup, burgers, American chop suey, macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, London broil, and pizza.
The address for the Abington Depot Restaurant is 101 Railroad Street, Abington, MA, 02351.
