COMING SOON–Renovation work is still ongoing, but here is a sneak peak that was shared last week of the inside of the new No-Jacks South. The restaurant will be located in downtown Red Bud and hopes to open on Aug. 18.
“We’re excited. Everything is in motion now,” John Lanterman said of opening No-Jacks South in Red Bud.
Lanterman saw an opportunity and decided to put a restaurant in at 123 South Main Street, which was the location of the former Uptown Bar and Grill/The Office Bar and Grill in downtown Red Bud.
He explained the main reason for coming here was that he saw a need that wasn’t being filled. While he noted there are some excellent restaurants already in Red Bud, none fit the niche that No-Jacks would. “We’re filling in a spot that’s needed.”
In addition, Lanterman said that he really likes the community feel of Red Bud. “The town does a lot and we don’t have that here (in Smithton). We’re on the edge of town and are left out.”
