SARASOTA, FL – The Original Wolfie's and Rascal House is turning the page to an exciting new chapter as it announces the closure of its Sarasota Arts District location, effective immediately.

"We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported our Sarasota restaurant over the years," stated Jason Starkman, Director of Operations. "The friendships we've built and the memories we've shared with our guests will always be an important part of our story."

While the Sarasota location has closed, The Original Wolfie's remains committed to serving the community. The Lakewood Ranch location will continue to offer free delivery within three (3) miles (or free delivery on orders over $35), takeout and catering services, providing guests with the same quality food and service they have come to expect.

The company is also preparing for an exciting future with the upcoming debut of Wolfie's 21 Hand Cut, a brand-new concept planned for the UTC area later this year.

Designed for today's diners while honoring the tradition that has made Wolfie's a local favorite, Wolfie's 21 Hand Cut will feature 21st Century versions of the classic menu items guests know and love, along with fresh new offerings.

"This is more than a new restaurant—it's the next evolution of the Wolfie's brand," Jason Starkman, Director of Operations, shared. "We've been working behind the scenes to create something special, and we're excited to share it with our loyal guests and a new generation of customers."

Additional announcements, previews, and opening details will be shared in the coming months as the opening approaches.

For the latest updates, guests are encouraged to follow The Original Wolfie's on social media and visit the company's website.
