Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter and Two Boots Pizza have temporarily closed

Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter, 94 Avenue C at Sixth Street, shut down last night after service... and will remain closed for the foreseeable future.

Bobwhite is the latest restaurant to close after giving the takeout-delivery route a try the past few weeks. As noted yesterday, Two Boots on Avenue A at Third Street also closed last evening to give its staff a break, with hopes of returning the week of April 20.

Yesterday, we updated our list of what's open for takeout and delivery ... striking 13 restaurants from the list.

Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter officially opens today

Bobwhite Lunch & Supper Counter is officially opening today on Avenue C near East Sixth Street... (they had a soft opening of sorts on New Year's Day.)

Last Thursday, owner and founder Keedick Coulter distributed 250 samples of the restaurant's fried black eyed peas (which included a card good for one free dessert with the purchase of a lunch or supper) to passersby on Avenue C and in Tompkins Square Park.

Per Fork in the Road:

"Although the final menu is still being tweaked, it will include fried and grilled organic chicken suppers; hot sandwiches with fried chicken, grilled chicken, or pork chops, featuring homemade condiments and relishes; simple Southern sandwiches like pimento cheese, egg salad, and chicken salad; seasonal Southern vegetables like collard greens; and traditional Southern desserts such as banana cream pie parfaits and red velvet cake."

And here's a photo of their southern-style fare via the Bobwhite Facebook page...

Why there's a Hank Williams Jr. doll on Avenue C

EV Grieve reader Sam spotted this today outside Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter, coming soon to Avenue C near East Sixth Street... the place will serve Southern-style comfort food. Perhaps they need a better spokesdoll than Hank Williams Jr. though...

On Avenue C, Bobwhite is hiring; and what exactly is Bobwhite?

Over at 94 Avenue C near East Sixth Street... work continues at Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter...

... and they are hiring now...

We've talked with several nearby residents who have high hopes for the restaurant, which will serve Southern-style comfort food ... the owner, Virginia native Keedick Coulter, received approval for a beer and wine license from the CB3/SLA committee last month...

Anyway, they have a website here ...

Here's a description what's coming here (early next year):

Bobwhite Counter is a small restaurant with big aspirations. We want to make seasonal, responsible food something you can afford to enjoy on a regular basis. Maybe we’re biased, but we think that the spirit and soul of Southern cooking is a perfect way to do just that. Whether you want to sit down for a friendly meal or take something home, we hope you’ll enjoy our Southern-style chicken suppers, sandwiches, and seasonal vegetables all made from responsible, high-quality ingredients.

Chico whipped up some bobwhites for the rolldown gate...
