Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse was a Canadian-themed casual steakhouse chain that operated in the Eastern United States from 1992 until 2016. Headquartered in East Providence, Rhode Island, the chain grew to a peak of more than 30 locations across eleven states and primarily served American cuisine.[2] The restaurants were styled after a Pacific lodge aesthetic and featured animatronic animal characters based on North American wildlife.[3] After rapid growth in the 1990s, Bugaboo Creek filed for bankruptcy in 2010, which led to widespread closures during the early 2010s. The final location closed in 2016.[4]
History
