Dear editor: I was shocked, and greatly saddened, to read in Wednesday’s edition (Nov. 3) that Beef ‘O’ Brady’s was closing. This was my favorite “hometown” restaurant, and I had lunch there as often as I could on the weekends. The food was always good, and the staff friendly. Doug and his wife were always constantly checking to see if everything was to the patron’s liking, as did the waitstaff. And they were both well-known for supporting the local high school teams – that was obvious from the time anyone walked in the front door!
This is a huge loss to Richmond Hill. I live in Liberty County, and work in downtown Savannah, so was only able to go by for lunch on the weekends, but I did so frequently. I was never disappointed, and I made it a point to go by when I could, just “supporting our local merchants.”
A very big “Thank you!” to Doug and Georgia for giving it a go – and “thank you,” too, to their staff for the wonderful service they always gave me. Maybe Richmond Hill is still a bit small to support a restaurant of this type, but if so, we are all the poorer for it.
I wish the Goolsby’s the best, and thank them for them enthusiastic support of our community. I will surely miss their business! And so will Richmond Hill. We just don’t know yet how much.
