One of the Central Coast’s staple restaurants is shutting its doors after over half a century in business.
F. McLintocks Saloon and Dining House in Shell Beach announced that it is closing down.
The big picture: A sign was posted on the door of the restaurant announcing the closure.
- “It is with great sadness that after 51 great years we announce F. McLintocks has closed its doors,” the sign reads. “Thank you for your many years of support.”
Driving the news: KSBY reported that the restaurant served its last meal on Sunday, with the final checks handed out to employees on Tuesday.
Flashback: Another F. McLintocks location closed in Arroyo Grande in March after nearly 40 years in business.
- KSBY reported at the time that the Arroyo Grande location was hit hard by rising food costs, inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic. The company hoped to strengthen the Shell Beach and San Luis Obispo location by closing the Arroyo Grande restaurant.
What we’re watching: The final location in San Luis Obispo was also closed on Tuesday, but there were no official reports that the location was shutting down as well.
