One of the last of the old-school restaurants along Route 1 north of Boston is shutting down.
According to an X/Twitter post from Drew Moholland of WBZ NewsRadio 1030, The Continental in Saugus is going to be closing, with the place apparently saying farewell the weekend before Thanksgiving. The restaurant, which has been in business for 72 years, has been known in part for its steak and seafood dishes along with its popovers.
The address for The Continental is 266 Broadway, Saugus, MA 01906. Its website can be found at https://www.thecontinentalsaugus.com/
[November 25 update: The social media for The Continental confirms that it is now closed, having shut down after business hours on Sunday, November 24.]
