Sammy T's Restaurant Closing Sunday in Fredericksburg

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Sammy T's restaurant, a downtown fixture at 801 Caroline Street since 1981, has been sold after a year on the market and will close for good Sunday, a representative at Coldwell Banker Commercial Elite confirmed Thursday.

The restaurant specializes in vegetarian fare but also offers gourmet hamburgers, among other things.

Its building was constructed in 1805 and had a variety of carnations before being bought in 1980 by Mary Washington College geography professor Samuel T. Emory.

Restaurant manager James Crisp told the Free Lance-Star employees were told of the closing Monday, and that he was told the new owners may find someone else to operate the eatery.
