Daddy Jack’s to close on May 6: The iconic Lower Greenville gem, that’s been cranking out East, West, and Gulf coast seafood since 1993, is closing for good. But co-owner Cary Ray assures us it’s a positive thing. “We’re ready to move onto new things,” says Ray. “And for lack of a better term, cash in.” He explains that he and his partners loved their time on Lower Greenville, but are ready to move on. In the meantime, book your final reservations ASAP. They’re filling up.
