Mystic Biscuit closes, thanks customers
All of us at the Mystic Biscuit would like to thank
everyone for all the years of support we have received.
After much thought and prayer, we have made the deci
sion to close the restaurant. We have decided to refocus
on our family and do not feel we can do this and give the
restaurant the proper amount of attention. We still con
tinue to do catering and private events through our new
collaboration with This Little Piggy Barbecue. We will be
joining the team there and adding some of your “biscuit”
favorites to their menu. Thank you again for your patron
age and we hope to serve you again.
Anne Marie Watson and the Mystic Biscuit family
With Sincere Appreciation
The family of Viola Brooks Calloway gratefully
acknowledges all the calls, visits, food, monetary gifts,
program participation and especially your prayers. They
were a source of strength during the extended illness and
homegoing celebration of our mother.
