Just curious and bored this afternoon, I typed "closed" into a forum search and came up with...

Quiznos at Briggs Ranch
Bella Bru
China Buffet
Seasons
The Dish
Applebee's
The Ravine
My Brother Vinny's
Zinfandel Grille
Goodfellas
El Rey
Folsom Bistro
Heart of Europe
Express Gourmet
Beyond Juice
Yager's
Sartory
King Falafel
Pei-Wei
Black Angus
Great Wraps
Jennie's Palace
Bailie's
Sea Harbor
825 West End
Z Pizza
Cliff House
Sakura Sushi
Java Nation

Deathwatch:
Ruby Tuesday's
Malabar (under new mgmt yet?)
T2Yan

Things that made it after all:
It's a Grind on East Bidwell
Bobo Cafe.

I'm sure this isn't complete.

[Dave Burrell]

dang, that's one heckuva list - good job putting it together ...its interesting to see this

[mylo]

going back how far?

Are you gonna count King's Fish and Chips?
Pachanga
Seasons on Sutter
The Dish (I think that's what Seasons was, briefly)
Baccaras (still a shame)
Touche`
My Grandma's Kitchen
Long Sandwich (awesome bánh mì)

Not all of those locations stayed closed. For example:

Mooney's has opened in place of Bailie's.
There's a Mexican place replacing Sakura Sushi.
There's an Indian (?) place that replaced Good Fellas, or maybe it was Xpress Gourmet?
Madeira's replaced the fish and chip place.
Heart of Europe relocated.
Early Toast replaced Grandmother's
T2 Yuan also replaced somebody.
Sudwerk's replaced Cliff House.


Other's
Burton's BBQ (in Folsom Hotel)
Ernie's of Tahoe
Waffle Barn (House, Garage?, whatever that place over by Red Robin is called)
Acorn Cafe
In and Out Burger

Also not a complete list. It'd be interesting to see if the openings are keeping up with the closings. I don't mean to minimize the impact of a restaurant closing--it's awful for all those involved. But it does show that there are a lot of folks willing to give the Folsom restaurant biz a go. And there's a lot of folks eating at those restaurants.

I wouldn't count Heart of Europe, they just relocated.

Excellent update!

Might need to put Carls Jr. on the deathwatch list. I've been in there a few times since In n Out opened and its been a ghost town.

T2 Yuan---I may be wrong, but I think these guys are on loose ground right now.

We went to eat there, they were out of 3 dishes-we requested and they were out of tea.
Bizarre.

Out of Tea?

Ah-well.

Still good food, though.

Out of Tea?

Sign of the times. I was in Raleys yesterday and ordered a sandwich at the Deli Counter. They didnt have the bread to make it. Instead of trying to figure out what other bread I wanted, I ordered my second favorite sandwich. Didnt have the meat to make that one.

There I stood in a store full of breads and meats, and they're out of them.

She finally gave up and went over to the prepackaged deli meat section and pulled out a package of prosciutto, which was the meat they were out of. It also had some mortadella and salami in it. Put the whole thing on my sandwich. On my way out the door, I stopped by that section. The package of meat was $8.99. My sandwich was 4.99.

[Darthvader]

Add China Buffet to the list too!

[Darth Lefty]

I was trying to keep it to the last year-or-so, Mylo.

Been to T2 Yan several times over the past month and they've been great as always, still really enjoy that place and hope they survive.

that's a good idea

[mylo]

Okay, so Seasons and The Dish still count

[ozziecat97]

We stopped going there. Had two really bad experiences with them back to back. The first time was just poor quality food and service. The second was lousy food, and horrendous service. They brought out our soup last, after we asked for it three times; and it was cold. It took them 45 minutes before they brought out our appetizer.

This place used to be great food, great service. Not in the last few months.

Has China Buffet closed? Or was DarkLefty commenting that it had opened?
