A BBQ spot in the northern suburbs of Boston has shut down, and a Mexican restaurant will be taking over the space.
According to a source (Gary Goldblatt), Bobby & Jacks Memphis Barbecue in Tewksbury has closed its doors, with a Facebook post from the Main Street restaurant saying the following:
Bobby & Jacks Memphis Barbecue is officially under agreement with Tres Compadres to bring Authentic Mexican Cuisine to Tewksbury. After almost 5 years and having made it to the other side of the pandemic the owners of Bobby & Jacks have made the difficult decision to sell. This was simply a business decision and will allow us to focus more on our other two locations. With rising costs in EVERY category particularly commodities such as beef, chicken and pork, the menu price point necessary to thrive was simply much higher than we were comfortable with.
The note goes on to say that gift cards for the BBQ spot will be redeemable at both locations of Jon Ryan's Pub in Tewksbury and North Billerica, which are under the same ownership.
The address for the now-closed Bobby & Jacks Memphis Barbecue (and upcoming Tres Compadres) is 1777 Main Street (Route 38), Tewksbury, MA, 01876.
