Spring Creek Barbeque’s Tyler restaurant on South Broadway has closed for good, according to a handwritten notice posted at the building. The sign thanks customers for years of “fantastic memories” and points them toward the chain’s Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston locations instead. The closure was first reported yesterday and has regulars wondering what comes next.

Handwritten Goodbye On The Door

As reported by CBS19, a handwritten sign on the restaurant’s front door announced the location was “closed for business” and said the “family-owned business is thankful for the years of 'fantastic memories.'” The message also urged customers to visit Spring Creek’s other outposts in the Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston areas.

Company Site Still Lists Tyler Location

Even after the notice went up, the chain’s official website continued to list a Tyler restaurant at 5810 S. Broadway, complete with menus and hours, suggesting the online listings had not yet caught up to reality. Per Spring Creek Barbeque, the Tyler page still includes the address and full menu for the now-closed outpost.

Maps And Delivery Apps Playing Catch-Up

Major map and delivery platforms are also lagging behind the closure. MapQuest still lists the South Broadway restaurant, and Uber Eats continues to host a Spring Creek Tyler storefront and menu.

What Customers Should Know

It is not yet clear why the Broadway location shut down or what will happen to its staff, and there was no public statement on the company’s site explaining the change at the time of reporting. For now, anyone craving a Spring Creek meal will have to look to the chain’s locations page to find the nearest open restaurant in the Dallas–Fort Worth or Houston metro areas.
