UPDATE Wed 2/22/17 8:30am EST: I've been told the Boat House will close on SATURDAY 2/25/17. These things are hard to predict. When the liqour/food runs out, that's usually it. Get there early.
You might want to re-arrange your plans this weekend if you were a fan of the Campbell's Boat House. We've received word from few sources close to the matter that "The Boat" will close for good this
A special thanks to the Campbell family for the wonderful times and the tremendous impact the restaurant has had on all of us. A "Family Restaurant" like this is what makes the fabric of the community, but unfortunately, we're losing them quickly. The memories will not be soon forgotten.
Fond childhood memories!
ReplyDeleteWell that's disappointing. Sold out to the big corporation huh. I remember working there for the Messicks. Good people! There will never be another boat house.
DeleteI spent several hours with Bob on Monday reminiscing about the Boat. My sister, Jean has been the cook there for 50 years. I never worked there, but I spent a lot of time there. got to know bob and his family very well. So sad to see it go, but everything changes over time.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going to be replacing it?
ReplyDeleteDidn't they sell to Wawa and Wawa is going to put a Super Wawa there just like they are doing down Providence Road???
ReplyDeleteyes
Deleteyup
DeleteCongratulations to Bob for having such a great business for so long, and being able to retire and enjoy the rest of his years.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to the Campbell family!!!
ReplyDeleteMemories of beef & beer at the Boat House were among the images we took into retirement after leaving Media. Priceless...
ReplyDeleteMy mom and her friend used to go there for drinks and their chili. She said it was one of the best around. Sorry to hear that it will be closing. My husband and I were going to stop by but will not be available this weekend. Best of luck in retirement to the Campbell Family.
ReplyDeleteThe last day is actually Saturday not Sunday...
ReplyDeleteGonna need to head over for a bowl of their snapper before Saturday I guess.
ReplyDeleteAnother Media area icon is leaving us. Very sad.

DeleteNot sure this message will get thru but was hoping to get a copy of Jeannies Cook Book. I'm a prior employee from long ago. My mom worked there for many years from Day 1 with the Messick family.
DeleteMy 1st waitressing job ��. They always had the best soups and nachos
ReplyDeleteI'll be driving down from Bloomsburg just to have a beer with a great and trusted friend.
