UPDATE! National Restaurant Chain Opening Its First New Jersey Location

It's been several years now since Don Pablo's closed its doors. It's a great location for a restaurant, located right behind the Moorestown Mall.

However, the building has been sitting empty since 2018.

I wrote about this several months ago and now plans are moving forward.

There are a lot of exciting changes coming to East Gate Square. There's a lot of buzz right now around the Moorestown Mall with an entertainment center coming soon.

There's also a new restaurant finally taking over the empty Don Pablo's.

UPDATE!!

The Mount Laurel Planning Board just approved the changes.

The old building will be demolished to make room for Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar.

The restaurant is a national chain, but this would be the very FIRST New Jersey location. The property is right next to the Moorestown Mall but is technically located in Mount Laurel.

They have restaurants throughout the country, with a total of 40 restaurants in 8 states.

I'm always looking to try new restaurants in the area and this one sounds really good. I'm super excited about this.

What is Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar?

It's a casual dining chain based out of California and has TV-style dinners.

Made in-house, frozen in retro-style trays, and ready to pop in the oven when you need them.

How does BBQ Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie, or Four Cheese Baked Pasta sound?

The restaurant will have an outdoor space too, featuring a patio and fire pit.
