This steakhouse chain has closed its last Wichita restaurant

Wichita’s last Logan’s Roadhouse — the one at 2424 N. Maize Road that opened in May 2007 — has closed.

On Monday afternoon, workers were removing the sign from the building and were hauling liquor and other items out of the store. An employee on site said that the restaurant’s last day in business was Sunday. The restaurant’s Google listing now also reads “permanently closed,” and an employee who answered the phone at the restaurant on Monday evening also said it had been shut down.

The Logan’s building has actually been listed as for sale or lease by Landmark Commercial Real Estate for at least two months.

Wichita previously had two Logan’s restaurants. The one at 353 S. Rock Road closed at the start of the pandemic in 2020, and in July of that year, it was confirmed that the restaurant was closed for good.

The west-side restaurant also closed at the start of the pandemic but eventually reopened.

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the Old Chicago and Logan’s Roadhouse parent company CraftWorks Holdings announced Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The employee on site at the west-side Logan’s Roadhouse on Monday said that employees at the restaurant would have the chance to take jobs at Old Chicago.

Stay tuned for news on what is next for the site.
