Balkan Treat Box, the celebrated restaurant located at 8103 Big Bend Blvd. in Webster Groves, has shuttered its doors “until further notice.” This development was shared with the community via the restaurant’s social media accounts, which includes Facebook and Instagram. “We are closed until further notice. Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you soon!” was the message conveyed to their followers, as reported by KSDK.
Despite the abrupt halt of operations at the outpost known for its wood-fired fare, a representative for Balkan has assured that the pause is only a temporary measure, as noted by St. Louis Magazine (SLM). However, the related establishment, Telva at The Ridge, which is also under the co-ownership of Loryn and Edo Nalic, continues to welcome diners. Balkan Treat Box’s popularity traces back to its inception as a food truck in 2016, followed by the opening of its brick-and-mortar site three years later.
While the original social media announcements from Balkan Treat Box implied unforeseeable reasons behind the closure, subsequent edits have been made to the messages. Earlier statements of apology for any inconvenience caused have since been removed, leaving a simple note of thanks for the ongoing support, according to the initial post revision history mentioned by St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
As of now, the reasons for the closure remain undisclosed. Neither Loryn nor Edo Nalic has publicly commented on the specifics that led to the decision, and efforts to reach them by various local media sources have been unmet with responses. Interest in the well-being of the establishment is particularly heightened given Loryn Nalic’s recognition as a three-time James Beard Award nominee, and the critical acclaim Balkan Treat Box has garnered over the years, both locally and nationally. “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are closed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding,” read the announcement on St. Louis Magazine (SLM), eliciting concerns and well-wishes from patrons eager for their return.
