Was going to make a new post until I found this thread. We drove on 44 today going past the Speckled Butterbean. The parking lot was empty and on the sign it said "For Sale or Lease" along with a realtor's sign in the front. So I would surmise this pretty much says it's closed.

Before it was the Speckled Butterbean I understand the building was a Sonny's Barbecue. Must have been ahead of their time as a Sonny's would be appropriate now, especially with Brownwood now open. Is the other location of Butterbean still open? At any rate I am sure that a decent restaurant would be a success in the now vacant location.

This was a place whose specialty was supposed to be chicken.Yet when you got your mashed potatoes ,the gravy was beef gravy not chicken gravy.That happened to me twice and I said that's it for this place.Perhaps with the Brownwood development someone will take it over who knows how to run a restaurant.

original "Bean" in Webster closed as well
I heard that the original "Bean" in Webster closed as well. They started out good but really cut corners as time wore on.

Heard through the (very reliable) grapevine that:
1. Sonny's closed due to divorce of the owners, and is now located in LSL, building on 44 was part of the divorce settlement aand had to be sold. 2. Butterbean closed due to one of the owner's gambling problem, apparently a husband and wife team. Also heard they owe tons of people tons of money. Good food or not, it's a shame that they couldn't pull themselves out of it and hold out a little longer until Brownwood was really hopping! |

Noticed a sign tonight (Jan. 29, 2013) on the marque outside the Speckled Butter Bean that said, "The Irish are Coming."
There is no longer a For Sale sign there either. Hmmm. What could it be? Beef O'Brady's perhaps? I hope not. |
