"Well, friends, after 15 amazing years, it’s time for us to say goodbye. Back in 2009, we opened our doors with big dreams, and what a wild ride it’s been ever since! From the very first chicken & waffles to the last round of bread & butter pudding, we’ve had the absolute best time serving you all.

"Whether you popped in for a quick bite, celebrated life’s big moments with us, or just needed a night off from cooking (no judgment, we get it), thank you for making us part of your lives. You all turned our little spot into something special.


"To our amazing staff – you guys are the real MVPs. Your hard work, laughter, and ability to handle anything thrown your way (including the occasional kitchen chaos) made every shift unforgettable. We couldn’t have done it without you.


"We’ll leave you with full hearts, big smiles, and maybe a craving for one last Brunch. 


"Any special moments over the years? We’d love to see! Tag #iloveyousomuchDillingers


"We hope to see you over the next few weeks, don’t forget to book. Last service Monday, 4th of November don’t miss it. We may have one last surprise for you.

"Thanks for 15 years of awesome. It’s been a blast! With love, Dillinger’s Fam."
