I can’t believe I’m writing this but Corners Tavern is closing in downtown Walnut Creek with their last day being Wednesday, July 10th. It was one of the first restaurants I previewed on this blog over seven years ago and enjoyed many meals here with my family over the years. Sad to see them go! 😢

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Vietnamese restaurant Pho Saigon closed recently at Newell Promenade in downtown Walnut Creek. Thanks to a reader for sending word about this. I imagine the remodeling going on there hasn’t helped, right?

Saturday, July 6th, 2019Have you ever felt the excitement of watching your bobber suddenly jiggle, then dive out of sight? Or feeling the tap-tap-tap of a bass as it tastes the worm on the end of your line? Or having a salmon practically tear the rod out of your hands as it smashes your lure? What’s that? You say you never learned to fish?
Encina Grande, Walnut Creek
Rounding out a brutal week in Walnut Creek restaurant closings, Evie’s Hamburgers closed recently at the Encina Grande shopping center in Walnut Creek. This comes after Cinco de Mayo, Stanford’s, Tender Greens, and Andy Sushi, not to mention the jazz club Impulse Room closing, all with the last week or so. A new restaurant called Taqueria Magico is planning on opening in the former Evie’s spot in the beginning of August.
In the past few weeks there have been an enormous amount of restaurant closings in downtown Walnut Creek and beyond. Is this typical for summertime or is something out of the ordinary happening? Out with the old, in with the new?
