It is with great sadness that we announce we will be respectfully closing our doors permanently this Sunday, May 17.
After 38 incredible years, our owner, Moe Sharif, has decided to retire. Moe first opened the doors of the Downtowner in 1988, when it was still an old diner, and later renovated the space in 2000 following the construction of the Xcel Energy Center. For nearly four decades, he has proudly served the St. Paul community with dedication and heart.
Moe would like to extend his deepest gratitude to the city of St. Paul, our amazing staff, and our loyal customers for making this journey so special. The Downtowner has been a true icon in this city—a one-of-a-kind gem that will be deeply missed.
While stepping away from the Downtowner, Moe will remain an active part of the St. Paul community. As many of you know, he’s not one to sit still—he plans to spend more time with family and friends, do some traveling, and help out at Burger Moe’s with his son, Eddy. So, if you’re hoping to see him, you may still catch him there from time to time.
The property will be available for the next generation of restaurateur to carry on this legacy in one of the best locations in St. Paul. For more information about the space, please contact Moe’s son, Eddy Sharif, at [email protected].
We invite you to join us one last time this week. Our final service will be Sunday, May 17.
St. Paul is an extraordinary city, and it has been our honor to be part of this community. We hope the next torchbearer will continue a meaningful legacy in this space.
With gratitude,
The Sharif Family
