Demolished the last two weeks of August, 2016.

 

Sun sets on the west side of the House of Hughes Restaurant in Crestwood, Illinois closed in 2011 after many decades of service. Many families held birthday parties, anniversaries and wedding receptions here over the years.

 

Banquet attendee's entered in the rear. For some reason there were never any signs back here to indicate "Banquet Entrance". Customers would go in the front door only to be told you could not get to the banquet room from up front and had to go back outside and walk around the building..

 

Service and food quality slipped in the mid 2000 era and building maintenance also suffered.

 

Our last visit in 2010 was our last. The room we were in smelled as though it had recently been flooded.

 

We were also bothered by a very loud wedding reception that night. Only a thin wall and too many glass partitions seperated the two rooms. The noise and odor drove others customers that came in to turn right around out the door to find another place to dine.

 

There is talk of building townhouses, a smaller restaurant (possibly fast food) and a local body shop is also looking to build on the east side of the property.
