Christmas Island Steak House....closed.

SAMIAM · 11-12-2009, 08:13 AM

We forgive you, Lakesrider......actually, we have always liked the rib at Christmas Island and have been going there since the 70's. Tony and his crew work hard and are nice people....hope the closing is only seasonal.
That was so nice of you to help out that girl who is probably worried and struggling like many in this economy.

Drove by yesterday and the sign says "restaurant for lease" with a phone number.

Forgive my hijack here, but Donna Jean's sign says "on vacation".

To the best of my knowledge this is the first time either of these places closed in the winter.

Anyone know what's up?

He says he will be gone on a badly needed vacation for a couple of months. He will be going to an undisclosed place for one month and going to another. He says he will be back to reopen the pub.

I think he deserves it. Running a place almost everyday for decades can be stressfull. Let him rest.

I double that............. Tony is a great guy, I've known him for many years. Love the rib when it's thrown on the grill for a minute on each side -- nobody does it like Tony!

Ha. That is funny I just said to my Kathy I liked the rib thrown on the grill to sear it...

Knew the boys since high school. My Dad use to work for Phil when he began building homes on the island. I will never forget hiding in Phil's boathouse from the MP one night. Everyone at Irwin's Garden made a bet one night that I wouldn't travel down the Weirs Channel full throttle in my Hydrostream with a 150SS. And there was an MP in the channel. Made $400 that night. I was so shakened up, I couldn't remember leaving the downstairs bar that night. Slept in the boat in the boathouse.

Me bad
