Add Shady Grove To the List of Austin Restaurants Closing

The Wuhan Coronavirus claims another Austin restaurant victim:

Shady Grove, the Zilker-adjacent restaurant known for live music and strong margaritas, is permanently closing after service today, after 28 years in Austin, as confirmed in a call to the restaurant. It’s unclear what will happen to the space at 1624 Barton Springs Road.

The owners of Tex-Mex chain Chuy’s, Mike Young and John Zapp, opened Shady Grove in 1992, serving Southwestern-tinged fare like green chili cheeseburgers, queso, tacos, and more. It was perhaps best known for hosting free live music every Thursday during the summer.

They didn’t say for sure that the coronavirus lockdown was the cause, but it certainly couldn’t have helped. I liked them for their burgers and chicken fried steak.
