Lambs Bread Returns The King Vegan Cafe and Organic Juice Bar, 3600 River Drive: Summer 2020 5 comments
This space on River Drive has been a number of things since I started keeping track, moving from automative related businesses to restaurants. Lambs Bread was the follow-on here to Vibes, which closed in late 2018. As far as I can tell, Lambs Bread was open into late summer of 2020, and got generally good reviews. There was no real-estate sign on the property when I stopped by, so I'm not sure what is next for this property.
UPDATE 27 June 2022 -- Now Hook Fish & Chicken Of Columbia:
Cecilia's Mexican Restaurant, 6169 Saint Andrews Road: 25 November 2020 2 comments
I never got around to eating at this little Mexican place in Seven Oaks Shopping Center as it was really just too far away to be on my radar. Looking at their Facebook, there is a nice little closing note which cites the challenging times and leaves some hope for a phase two sometime in the future.
UPDATE 27 June 2022: Setting up to be By The Fire Pizza:
Grandpa's Steakhouse, 3660 King Street (Cocoa Florida): 5 May 2018 1 comment
Indah Coffee Company, 1332 Main Street Suite 101: July 2021 1 comment
Indah Coffee Company has closed their Arcade Mall location on Main Street to concentrate on their Sumter Street store.
Commenter Larry supplies the information (seconded by WLTX that somehow Takosushi will be using this vacancy as well as the nearby Pita Pit vacancy to come back in some sort of two headed configuration.

The Pizza Joint, 3246 Forest Drive: July 2021 8 comments
I used to go to this Pizza Joint location fairly often when they were open late on Thursdays for Service Industry Night, but when they stopped that, I kind of drifted away. I had noticed driving by several times lately that they were not open when I would have expected it, but I put it down to covid + staffing, and didn't think much about it until commenter Larry noted that they had had a fire there.
Looking at the place last Sunday, I am happy to report that repairs are obviously underway, so hopefully they will be back soon. The building must be surprisingly durable as it has been a number of different operations since starting life as a Hardee's.

UPDATE 18 January 2023: The place has been sold, so I have removed the "Temporary" notation from the title. The next tenant, according to The State will be a breakfast/brunch place: The Vicious Biscuit.
M Kitchen, 340 Columbiana Drive: 28 June 2021 5 comments
M Kitchen was built on the site of the old Steak 'n Shake after razing that building, and is part of the peripatetic Myio's empire.
As of 27 June 2021, this location is closed, with the staf moving to Bower Parkway

Urban Cookhouse, 3000 Devine Street: 30 June 2021 (Moving?) 2 comments
The situation with Urban Cookhouse seems a bit odd to me and I suspect something went wrong. The Devine Street location (which was the only SC location at the time) closed around 30 June, and the place advertised a new "temporary" location in Five Points, which guessing from their Facebook Page was for catering only. There have been no posts to the page since 14 July, and no answers to questions people are asking there about the new location and opening date. Unless I missed an announcement somewhere, I think this place will not be coming back as a dine-in location.
Here is some (old) information from The State.
(Sorry that the pictures are poor, it was really too late in the day, and I meant to go back, but have not yet).

UPDATE 19 August 2021 -- Here are some better pictures:
Here is 741 Saluda, so I am still a bit confused about the status of things:
The Crab Trap, 31 North 2nd Street: Early 2021 (Temporary) (Fernandina Beach) no comments
During my Fourth of July visit to Fernandina Beach, I noticed that the historic Crab Trap restaurant on
Second Street was closed and gutted. We never ate there growing up, as my parents knew it was a fight to get me into a seafood restaurant, but as an adult I always meant to go someday have have the key-lime pie, probably with a burger up front.
I'm not sure when they closed, but looking around google & yelp & co, it appears that the last specific reviews are towards the end of 2020. I believe I would have noticed if it had been closed during my December visit, so I'm going to guess early 2021 as the date.
Their facebook page has announced they will be re-opening, and the way it is phrased sounds like it wasn't a sure thing. I'm still not sure it's a sure thing, as the place looks somewhat gutted, and nowhere near ready. We will see. I hope they make it.
Ocean View Seafood, 1904 Broad River Road: Late June 2021 (Open Again) 7 comments
As pointed out by commenter Tom, Ocean View Seafood on Broad River Road is closed for remodeling. The work seems to be ongoing, so hopefully it won't take too long.
I'm pretty sure this building used to be a steakhouse, but I'm not sure what chain it belonged to.

UPDATE 22 January 2023 -- Open again, and has been for a while I think:
Hardee's, 451 Killian Road: Mid June 2021 5 comments
It seems to me that quite a few Hardee's have closed recently. This one was actually fairly new, part of the Killian's Crossing build-up. As far as I can determine from google reviews, it was open as recently as two weeks ago, so I am calling the closing at mid-June 2021.
From the way this place is being totally gutted, I would guess they already have the next tenant lined up.
