The blinds are closed, the chairs are stacked and the air has lost its tangy, sweet smell at Boodles BBQ on Gravois Road.
The restaurant closed permanently Tuesday, and by Thrusday, efforts to clear the building were underway.
Boodles did little to alert residents that it was closing besides taping some paper signs to the doors thanking diners for their patronage. There are no announcements of the closing on the restaurant's website.
Boodles, opened by Jonathan Seitz, the founder of Bandana's Bar-B-Q, filled a building that once held a Wendy's.
Stay tuned for more updates.

thats a shame. I hope they put something good in the building quickly.
There is still a mostly empty building right at the corner of Gravois and Tesson Ferry (where subway and a gun shop used to be before they redid the street nad took the parking away). ALso the empty lot where the gas station used to be isnt great either

This stinks. Boodles was a nice little BBQ place that my wife and I enjoyed. I'm sad to see it go.
