Apparently, many Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern restaurants have been closing—without warning—across the country this month. The closures started the week of Aug. 7, according to The Consumerist, which has been keeping a close eye on this story. Employees have told the news website that they showed up for work one day or hopped on a conference call and were told the restaurant would be closing. 
The parent company for Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern is Ignite Restaurant Group Inc. The company filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. The Consumerist is gathering a list of close restaurants from consumers and local news reports.

Other Struggling Restaurants
Right now, we're experiencing what experts are calling the "restaurant recession," which means chains that we all know are starting to see fewer customers. Applebee's and IHOP recently announced that more than 150 restaurants would be closing across the country. 
The parent company for both chains, DineEquity, says it plans to close between 105 and 135 Applebee’s locations and 20 to 25 IHOP restaurants. “We are investing in the empowerment of our brands by improving overall franchisee financial health, closing underperforming restaurants and enhancing the supply chain,” interim CEO Richard Dahl said in a statement.
