Little Brother

Local Midwest Diner with Jewish influences by Joe and Alexandra Tripp

08/25/2024

It is with a heavy heart that as a family, we have made the difficult decision to put a temporary pause on Little Brother effective at the end of service today 08/25, and will be closing the doors at 1pm.

With the departure of a key staff member at Harbinger, our priorities must be focused there right now, and as we are also nearing the end of our lease here, we are taking this time to weigh negotiations with our landlords while we further evaluate if continuing with Little Brother is what’s best for us, and what that may look like.

While we are sad to have to suddenly halt operations despite the dining room remaining bustling, and even sadder to let anyone in our community down, we are looking forward to focusing our energy and passion on Harbinger and Basic Bird for now.

In the case that we continue operations, we will be looking to make a fresh start with a new management team and new front of house staff, and encourage those interested in reaching out in the meantime.

Thank you for joining us along this ride so far, and hope you continue to share delicious memories with us as we decide Little Brother’s future, and as we continue our commitment to serving the community through our brand as a whole.
