'This one hurts': Much-loved fried chicken and biscuit restaurant announces closure
Chewie’s Chicken and Biscuit, a much-loved Vancouver staple for brunch, has announced that it will be closing soon, and people are upset.
The restaurant shared that it will be closing its doors before the end of the month due to its whole block getting taken down for redevelopment.
“Since 2018, our little Biscuit shop has been part of Kits — but you are the ones who made it special,” wrote Chewie’s. “You turned us into your weekend ritual, your comfort spot, your ‘just one biscuit… okay maybe three’ place. We’re forever grateful for the regulars who stuck with us through everything, for the laughs, the friendships, the support, and the countless memories.”

For those who have never been, Chewie’s first opened its doors in 2018. It offers a wide selection of fried chicken sandwiches, carb-loaded sides like mac and cheese and pierogies, and a standout brunch menu, all alongside its beloved biscuits.
Chewie’s final day of operation will be Sunday, Nov. 23, meaning there is still time for one (or more than one) meal before it closes.
Additionally, Chewie’s assured customers that this closure might not be permanent.
“This is NOT goodbye — just ‘see you soon.’ Kistilano is home,” wrote the restaurant.

Many took to the comments to share how upset they were at the news of Chewsie’s closure.
“So sad to hear this! You made that corner of Kits special. Relieved it’s not goodbye forever though!” shared one user.
“Chewie’s Chicken & Biscuit Co has been a staple for our family every time we travel across the country to visit our daughter at UBC. No trip to Vancouver ever felt complete without stopping in for those biscuits, tots and fried chicken (hot mama was my favourite),” added another.
“Nooooooo!!! This is devastating! I look forward to Chewie’s any time I’m in Vancouver – it’s my first stop. So glad you’ll be coming back, & whenever you do — I’ll be there!!” said a third.
