After 10 years of service, a beloved barbecue restaurant announced its closure.
Gernard Hatcher, owner of Neicy’s BBQ of Columbus, 359 23rd Ave, has announced that his restaurant is closing. Hatcher posted a closure notice on the restaurant’s front door and made a Facebook post about it Tuesday.
“With heavy hearts and after a great deal of hard work, Neicy’s BBQ has decided to close its doors after 10 years of service,” the notice read. “I want to thank my customers for their support.”
Hatcher attributed the closure to declining business with the Spiderweb intersection, a road construction project designed to build a bridge over the train tracks at Buena Vista Road. The closure impacts Andrews Road, which is the main access road to Neicy’s BBQ.
Hatcher did not respond to the Ledger-Enquirer’s requests for comment…
