It is with saddened hearts that we are announcing the closing of The Village Steakhouse. This decision to close our family business has been a very difficult and emotional process for our family. We have enjoyed serving our customers and friends during the last 25 years. We have greatly appreciated your loyalty and love for our family, staff, and business during these special years. We ask that you pray for our entire family as we close this chapter of our lives and open new ones that God has for us.
We know the last 25 years would not have been possible without our dedicated and friendly staff that many of you have grown to love. We want to say thank you to all of our present and former staff members for their dedication in helping us make The Village Steakhouse (formally Layne’s) a place where friends and families have chosen for their food and fellowship destination for many years.
Our FINAL night to serve customers will be Saturday, July 13th. We will continue to be open on our regular nights and times until then. We would love to serve and see you during the next seven weeks. Please help us inform those with gift cards so we can honor them. If you know of anyone that would like to carry on the legacy of The Village Steakhouse please contact us. We would love to see it continue with new ownership.
