A Message to Our Guests & Community
After much heartfelt consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cease operations at our Sweetie Pie’s Ribeyes location, effective Friday, May 15, 2026, at 9:00 PM.
While difficult, this decision allows us to turn our attention toward developing an exciting new concept at this location — one we believe will better serve the community and the future of our company.
Serving our guests has been an incredible honor, and we are deeply grateful for the support you have shown us throughout the years. From family dinners and celebrations to everyday moments shared around our tables, you allowed us to be a small part of your lives, and for that we are truly thankful.
In addition to the many operational and financial challenges facing the restaurant industry today, we ultimately concluded that the Sweetie Pie’s Ribeyes concept was not delivering the experience and connection we had hoped to create for our guests and the community.
We also want the community to know that we are committed to supporting our team members throughout this transition. Many of the incredible people who helped make Sweetie Pie’s Ribeyes what it has been will continue with us as part of our new concept or within our other family-owned restaurants. For team members who do not continue with our company, we are committed to supporting them through this transition.
We are deeply grateful for the dedication and heart they have brought to serving our guests over the years.
This is not goodbye; it is simply the beginning of a new chapter. Be on the lookout for future announcements — we can’t wait to see you again soon!
With sincere gratitude,
Joel Vinyard
For the Vinyard family and everyone at Sweetie Pie’s Ribeyes
