The Saddest Austin Restaurant Closings to Know This April, 2025 | Eater Austin

"A barbecue operator’s Southpark Meadows location is closing after the co-owner decided not to renew the lease amid concerns about rising costs, though the landlord says the owners were locked out for unpaid rent; the landlord is reportedly in talks with other barbecue operators to take the space. Meanwhile, the long-running Barton Springs outpost is undergoing a revival after staff, including the director of operations, teamed up to purchase that space following a previous landlord lockout for unpaid rent." - Brittany Britto Garley
