Midway on the Square Restaurant in Abbeville to Close

Another local Acadiana restaurant is closing its doors.

Midway on the Square's final day open will be New Year's Eve. Restaurant management posted the following on their Facebook page:

Located on Magdalen Square in Abbeville, the 100+-year-old building that houses Midway on the Square started out as a restaurant: "The Midway". The Midway was the happening place in Downtown Abbeville.

The building's next tenant was the El Camino restaurant. After El Camino was moved to the By-pass, the building sat idle for more than 13 years before it was purchased, refurbished, and opened as "Midway on the Square", its name giving a nod to the original tenant.

It's sad to see another local restaurant going away.
