In the dog days of summer — late July through August — several Fayetteville restaurants said goodbye. The scene is heating up, however, with a few new openings and more on the way.
Among the happenings were the closure of African, health food and sandwich restaurants. An American Southern restaurant opened downtown, a new food truck began selling grilled cheese, and at least three more eateries are set to open soon in the city.
Here’s the latest Fayetteville food scene news.
