Speckled Butterbean
 

Noticed that this restaurant is now closed. Can someone bring us up to date? We enjoyed dining there and do hope it will reopen.

Heard the same thing tonite. Couldn't make enough money I was told.

Someone told my husband that it was closed for renovations.

Went out there on Saturday. Originally when they closed there was a sign that said new owners and they would reopen stating a date about a week after closure. However on Saturday the sign said for lease or sale.

Speckled Butterbean was not very well received here. Several complaints on TOTV.

I liked the food, but after eating there, it took 3 days to rid my body of the over dose (OD) of grease. All you have to do is add a lot of salt to greasy food and you have the best tasting food ever but it makes me sluggish for about a week after a meal like that.

Passed by there yesterday and it looked like they were selling the fixtures.

Wanted to try it out but never got there. Probably a boon to my colon.

I found this recent review on Speckled Butterbean and it just might be an indication of what was coming. It seems like the location of the restaurant is prime, especially with Brownwood being developed and further development being likely along Rt 44. Hopefully it will be acquired soon and be run by someone who knows how to run a restaurant and willing to do what's required to maintain good food and great service!

Not sure what makes this review "special"? Read plus & minus reviews on TOTV all the time.

Don't despair! Cute name - mediocre to bad food!

I am not in the least surprised this restaurant has closed. We tried it once and vowed to not ever dine there again. Our experience ?? Some of the food was cold, at least four items had become depleated and not refilled, we had to ask for chicken to be refilled (their staple). and generally the food was not all that tasty.

You could have added a lot of salt and hot sauce and you would have loved it. LOL All kidding aside, I liked OK, but it was 16 miles away from being healthy for human consumption.

Good riddance! Food was awful!

I ate there a few times and a couple of times I didn't feel well afterward. There's no telling what they put in some of their processed items. The fish was always super-salty. And the chicken was usually breaded and greasy. I usually don't eat meat but I tried a little of it anyway. Bad idea.

I just heard about the closure today from a friend of mine.
