The old Ruby Tuesday restaurant building, which sat empty for years, was torn down at the Willingboro Town Center in recent months to prepare for a new resident: A Chase Bank.
The building next door is also empty. Half of it once housed a Starbucks, then a Hardee’s Restaurant, but now just looks lonely in the Town Center, a mixed-used development which includes a satellite campus of Rowan College at Burlington County, retail stores, restaurants, the library and multiple other businesses.
Willingboro, like some other South Jersey towns, can’t seem to get sit-down restaurant chains as opposed to fast-food chains to put roots down.
A new seafood restaurant just opened in Ewing Township, and you re invited to the soft opening today (Tuesday, February 2nd) through next Tuesday (February 9th), according to Facebook, and you ll save some money.
Have you heard of it? It s a chain restaurant called Crab Du Jour. It s described as a Cajun Seafood Boil & Bar. Sounds fun, doesn t it? It s located at 1769 North Olden Avenue. I did a quick search on Google Maps and it looks like it replaced the old Maryland Crab Seafood House.the bright blue restaurant next to J&S Auto Haus.
Check out the new eatery today through next Tuesday and you ll save 10% on all food items. Nice. Great way to attract customers. You can check out their menu and order online here. or call (609) 403-6370. They have Po Boys, flounder, oyster and clam baskets, a Make Your Own Combo deal, a Family Catch deal, and if you have non-seafood eaters in your family, they have the classics, chicken tenders, wings, fried pickles and more.

Back Door Pizza, Cherry Hill
Farm & Fisherman Tavern in Cherry Hill has had to pivot more than once since the pandemic hit. They closed for a while; revamped their menu; upped their takeout game; experimented with market items; embraced to-go wine, beer and cocktails, and eventually welcomed outdoor guests.
