After 70 years, Sign of the Beefcarver closing last remaining restaurant

For decades, it claimed to have the recipe for fun. Well, now, sign of the beef carver is closing its doors for good. The last remaining location in Royal Oak will close. Owners posting about it today saying they've been in business for 70 years. Their post cites, quote, due to extreme financial pressure from rising food costs, not the last of which is the historically high price of roast beef, our menu's namesake, we can no longer sustain the losses that have resulted, end quote. Post also says that the government mandated shutdown from COVID-19 and the struggles that followed were another obstacle from which they could not recover. I'm devastated. I have been coming here for many years. I brought my children here when they were little. They are affordable. They have great food. And I'm devastated that they're closing. My dad used to bring me to the Beef Carvery every weekend and then slowly they start closing down. We used to go to the one on West 8 Mile, and then they closed down. Then we went to the one in Dearborn, and then they closed down. Now I'm heartbroken because this is the last one standing, and now I hear it's closing. I grew up going here all the time as a kid, and so there's just a lot of good memories. It was a good place to get a hot meal, and it wasn't crazy expensive. So it's just really sad to watch something that I think is a Detroit legend close. Yes, another beef carver will carve up dinner for the last time next Sunday. Thank you.
