"Jefferson Park's landmark restaurant Gale Street Inn is gearing up for a December comeback under new ownership, just months after its abrupt closure surprised the local community, reports Nadig Newspapers. Paulo Villabona, a longtime restaurant veteran and neighborhood resident, has purchased the business at 4914 N. Milwaukee Avenue. The 62-year-old spot, best known for its barbecue ribs and classic steakhouse fare, had closed in June after decades as a Northwest Side fixture."
"When Villabona learned of the news, he reached out to Karzas. The two connected, and Villabona officially took ownership on November 1. He'll reopen Gale Street Inn for dinner service in early December. Fans can look forward to the return of menu favorites, including the signature tender ribs slathered in a sweet peppery sauce, along with a few new additions. Many of the former staff are being brought back, and previously issued Gale Street Inn gift cards will be honored."
Gale Street Inn, a 62-year-old Jefferson Park restaurant at 4914 N. Milwaukee Avenue, will reopen under new owner Paulo Villabona in early December with dinner service. The longtime barbecue and steakhouse closed in June due to staffing shortages and surprised neighborhood patrons. Villabona, a restaurant veteran and neighborhood resident, purchased the business and reconnected with previous owner George Karzas. Menu favorites will return, including the signature baby back ribs with a sweet peppery sauce, alongside a few new additions. Many former staff members are being rehired, previously issued gift cards will be honored, and live jazz and blues will be hosted several nights a week.
