In a fast-paced place like Austin, restaurants come and go all the time. Know of an Austin area restaurant closure that's not on this list? Drop us a line at [e-mail] . Biderman's Deli
This Jewish deli, which opened in Northwest Hills in 2017 and in other locations that opened and closed through the years, has closed its doors. The deli posted on Facebook in April, noting a temporary closure due to the death of its owner. A Redditor posted a photo of a handwritten sign later in the month that read, 'It's been an honor serving you! We will be back soon! Thankfully and gratefully, the Biderman's staff.' As of now, Biederman's has been wiped from Google Maps, and its website is gone. No posts have been made on its social media accounts to explain the closure. Dee Dee
It's so long, but not goodbye for this food truck. Dee Dee announced on Instagram that it will close down its truck at Radio Coffee and Beer and open a brick-and-mortar at the forthcoming Leona Botanical Café and Bar later this summer. The truck was in business for nine years before making the location jump. Golden Eye Chocolates
The Austin chocolate shop notified customers via a newsletter email that it is closing its North Austin location on May 31 and will stop offering curbside pickup at its South Austin location on June 20. It cited climate change as the culprit. 'Severe floods and droughts in key countries that produce over 50 percent of the world's chocolate have led to a significant loss of cacao crops and substantial price increases. This, coupled with unforeseen delays in our kitchen construction, has proven to be too costly for us to continue the business as it exists,' the newsletter said. The brand may make a return, however. The email said it is looking for a new kitchen and working through restructuring its business model. Stinson's
This north Austin bistro closed its doors in May and will reopen as a food truck, it announced on Instagram. Stinson's will reopen across the street from its Burnett Avenue location, offering the same coffee, breakfast tacos, and other dishes that it's always served. The truck should open before the end of May, pending city permits. The Brass Tap
It's another closure for the Brass Tap, a beer bar. This was its last location, near the Triangle in North Austin. No specific reason was given in a notice posted on its front door or in social media posts captured by Community Impact. For those who miss it, the Round Rock location is still up and running. Dry Dock
During the first week in May, this 43-year-old seafood spot shaped like a boat out in San Antonio served its last meal. After coming under new ownership, it will become a crab boil-centric restaurant called Crab City, MySA reports. Much of the current staff will reportedly remain to work at the new restaurant.
