EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. (FOX 9) - The Polk County District Court closed a restaurant in East Grand Forks, Minnesota after the Minnesota Attorney General Office filed a temporary restraining order because the establishment defied the governor s order for the four-week shutdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Early Friday evening, the court granted the temporary restraining order, putting an end to Boardwalk Bar and Grill s dine-in service, which had been operating for the past three days in violation of the shutdown. Under Governor Tim Walz s current order, restaurants can only offer takeout or delivery.
