The workingman's special soon may be available to late-night revelers and those on the night shift.
In what could be hailed as the second coming of LeJay’s, Bubba’s Bar-B-Que will be open 24 hours a day on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, beginning tomorrow.
The popular eatery will serve from a “graveyard menu,” composed of breakfast, lunch and dinner items, our waitress, Stacy, explained this morning. Half the dining room will be closed off, and there will be no late-night salad bar.
“We’re going to see how it goes,” she said, a little leery.
Jackson has lacked a 24-hour eatery since the closing of LeJay’s Sportsmen’s Cafe, now home to The Garage, in 2003. LeJay’s was a classic hangout known for the Rogues Gallery, a collection of paintings on the wall, and Larry Turner Special, an omelette with just about everything you can imagine, smothered with chili.
Earlier, Jackson had The Elkhorn, which the late Bill Warren operated from roughly 1972 to 1989 on West Broadway.
hell ya!
Doubtful. I think it’s a great idea, but based on the type of clientele they see in the relatively low numbers that show up, that’ll seal the deal. Pinky’s will abide.
In case you didn’t hear Jim. Bubbas has changed the days to Thursday, Friday, and Saturday effective immediately.
Thanks, Aaron. I have updated the story to reflect the change. At breakfast this morning, I inquired how last weekend went, and was told it was pretty slow until about 2 a.m., when the bars close. Don’t know why they waited to try this until now; summer would have been a lot busier.
