TVs are never a good addition to a restaurant. If I want to feel like I'm at a sports bar, I'll go to a sports bar.

 

Korean bbq would be sweet!

I was disappointed to hear that the new restaurant will have much more TVs as part of their re-vamped decor (cuz that is really something that is missing in our area)...sigh...I actually liked Briejo's decor, I was just disappointed with their food...the descriptions on the menu sounded yummy, but what you got was usually greasy and salty.  Still holding out for a GOOD chinese restaurant or korean bbq restaurant somewhere in this town!

That's good news. I think a more affordable concept will serve them well.

 

Thanks for the update, Marty.

Thanks for the update, Marty. Glad to see they will be returning, even if it is in a different form.

It looks like Briejo is only closing temporarily. They hope to reopen in mid-September with a more casual, affordable concept. More info from the Wednesday Journal: http://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/08-03-2011/Oak_Park_Arts_Distr...

I'm sorry to hear that too.  I was looking forward to the outdoor patio they had plans for.
