The Crispy Coop, the Grandview fried chicken joint at 1717 Northwest Blvd, is calling it quits at the end of the month, putting a hard deadline on locals’ runs for Nashville-style hot chicken and Southern sides.
How the farewell was announced
The restaurant broke the news in a short social media post that, as reported by WhatNow, read: "After 12 incredible years in Columbus, the time has come for us to move on from the Crispy Coop at the end of this month." The same message encouraged customers to swing by for a final meal before the doors close.
A local fixture and its menu
The Crispy Coop lists the Grandview address at 1717 Northwest Blvd and lays out a menu built around à-la-carte chicken, sandwiches and classic Southern sides. The site highlights flavor options that include Traditional, Tennessee Mild, Nashville Hot and Ohio Hot Honey, and notes that the concept is rooted in the former Uncle Nick's Greek Fried Chicken. For hours and ordering, the restaurant points customers to online pickup and delivery links.
Business footprint and sale listing
A business-for-sale posting shows that the brand has included both the Grandview storefront and a Reynoldsburg location at 6330 Tussing Road, and it shares lease and financial details for would-be buyers. The listing does not tie the closure to any single cause but does outline the group’s recent footprint. The sale is detailed on BizBuySell.
Neighbors react
Regulars quickly took to online community spaces to swap memories and coordinate last visits, with a lively Reddit thread pulling in dozens of replies praising the Nashville hot chicken and the collard greens. Some commenters also pointed out recent service and supply hiccups, and many said they plan to stop in one more time before the month ends.
