COVID Casualty. Offerdahl’s Palmetto Bay location will not reopen. Memories and Offerdahl’s Statement

This is sad news. We were waiting on a promised reopening. The original announcement was made March 24, 2020, 

ATTN: Due to the Covid-19 circumstances, Offerdahl's in Palmetto Bay, FL will temporarily close as of today. Please check back to receive updates and reopening information !!

Things change. Often unexpectedly and sometimes for the worse. We enjoyed the friends we met up with there along with the food and employees.  I have great memories of meetings with constituents and friends, picking up breakfasts for Palmetto Bay meetings (including the youth board - and rest assured, at my personal expense, not reimbursed by the Village taxpayers). John Offerdahl was both a great football player for our Miami Dolphins as well as a restaurateur.

Unfortunately, there will be no reopening for Palmetto Bay location. I have posted the 12-16-2020, statement from Offerdahl’s as posted on social media:

Thank you Palmetto Bay!

It is with deep sadness that we announce the closing of our Palmetto Bay Offerdahl’s location. After almost 20 years of serving our Palmetto Bay fans, our battle to reopen during the Covid-19 crisis has come to an end. We will focus our efforts on keeping our remaining 8 grills in the Broward & Palm Beach markets strong and resilient during these challenging days.

We appreciate all the years of building a bond with you, getting to know your Off-The-Grill preferences, and sharing life with you. We hope you will visit one of our other locations so you can keep eating those Offerdahl recipes you have grown to love. Stop by our Hollywood location (the closest to Miami) and introduce yourself to Juan, Ryan or Candace and let them know you’re up from Palmetto Bay! We certainly don’t want to lose your continued support or appetite!

GRATEfully yours,

The Offerdahl’s & Palmetto Bay TEAM!

COVID - please mask up and take precautions. Let's all do our part to get past this. The adverse impact to health and business is far too real.

Best wishes to the Offerdahl's team from your friends here in Palmetto Bay!
