BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — A favorite Bend restaurant serving up healthy Mexican food with a Mayan-Hawaiian twist for some 25 years is closing its doors. Longboard Louie’s recently announced its last day will be July 26th, as the owner retires from a nearly half-century career in the restaurant business.
The restaurant has moved a few times over the years, and Jeff Parshall says it’s time to hang up his hat. He says his lease is up, and he’s simply choosing to retire instead of re-upping.
“It’s been a good run – 45 years – about two lifetimes in the restaurant business,” Parshall told us. “So you know – the time is right, so we’re just kind of going to wind it down.”
So you now have less than three weeks to grab your favorite surf and turf burritos. As Longboard Louie’s shuts down, it’ll sell off the last of its merchandise, memorabilia and some of the decor.
