BUFFALO TWP — Knoch High School alumni Megan Pohl remembers the J-Barn County Inn's Frangelico chicken and the complementary family-style platters of deep-fried mushrooms, marshmallow fruit salad, rolls and fresh veggies that preceded each delectable meal.

The Monroe Road restaurant that was known as Jardine's for decades before becoming J-Barn in the mid 1990s under new ownership again changed hands in 2014, when it was sold to Ronald and Judith Kutsch.

“I was sad when I went there last summer,” Poole said. “The food wasn't very good at all and I thought, 'Oh, this is it.'”

Poole's prediction was correct, as online court records show that The Kutsch Company filed for bankruptcy in August, and listed its industry as a restaurant.

The records list the case's assets and liabilities as up to $50,000.

Ronald Kutsch, who lives in Apollo, Armstrong County, declined on Tuesday to comment on the longtime restaurant's closure.
