One of the area’s long running bar-b-que and take out spots is calling ‘time out’, hoping to return after dealing with some personal health issues.
Piggin’ N’ Grinnin’, 2114 South Cleveland Avenue, St. Joseph announced on Facebook that it will close February 18 to allow owner Michael Piaskowski to undergo open heart surgery. The announcement says the popular roadside drive-thru takeout establishment will shut down, with plans, hopefully, to return in 2024.
“Due to scheduled Open Heart Surgery. It is with a heavy heart and gratitude to all our customers and employees that we are announcing the closing of Piggin N Grinnin on February 18th 2023. We will be open for business thru the 18th of February!
Get your orders and Last Taste of our South to Your Mouth BBQ until then!
God willing we will be back in a years time! Prayers and Orders are always welcome ”
Piggin’ N’ Grinnin’ started in the downtown Benton Harbor Arts District in 2004 with both takeout and sit-down dining. The pandemic apparently led to the move to Cleveland Avenue a couple of years ago, taking over a drive-thru facility that was originally a coffee shop. Outdoor seating was available in the warmer months. The Piaskowski’s have also offered offsite catering, featuring their signature bar-b-que items.
