They weren't handling the money right.. Every month they were 2,000 dollars or more of over the max aloud for food cost... An then still was running out...
@@racersabandonedretail361 There needs to be a law that requires warning be given to employees AND that they pay them what their owed with any money that a bankrupt company receives during liquidation or from selling off assets.
If they screwed me, if I had worked there, I'd use their butts off! The corporate world doesn't care about the little guy. The only care about themselves, it's money, money, money to put it in their pockets.
When I was in college, my friends and I used go to Johnstown location after term ended or celebrating someone's birthday. They had the college discount for UPJ and PHCC.
Has anyone noticed that Ryan's and the older Golden Corral buildings look virtually the same? Same style building and same type of wooden ceiling setup on the insides.
Our Ryan's in Wooster shut down last year and was eventually demolished to make room for a new Aldi store to be built. I ate there a few times - it just wasn't worth it. I still remember whenever someone had a birthday, the waitresses would come out of the kitchen (the first one would be carrying an ice cream sundae), and they would stand around the birthday guest's table, clapping their hands and singing a birthday song.
Ryan's was my childhood restaurant loved it there gonna miss it it's sad they closed down thank you for a good video I enjoy your videos keep being awesome
i just spent almost 6 hours watching your videos...amazing stuff. no better way to spend a snowy cold Pittsburgh area day 2/7/20 keep up the fantastic videos
Ryan’s Buffet was part of Ovation Brands (Formerly Buffets Inc). Their sister brands are County Buffet, Old County Buffet, and Hometown Buffet. They have gone through a couple of bankruptcies and eventually bought by Food Management Partners, a company known for closing lots of restaurants in a very abrupt manner. Sometimes they didn’t even tell their workers they were closing and then they had someone come in the middle of the night come in and take the equipment out. The workers came to work and found a locked door and their keys no longer worked.
That is the worst way to do something like this. They dont even have the courtesy or courage to tell their employees they will be losing their jobs. No heads up as so they can look elsewhere. No, they just close it while no one is around to avoid everyone like a coward.
Thanks. I have to do it when I film these restaurants. It just seems to be my thing. Lol last weekend when I bought my new car, I filmed a bunch of abandoned restaurants. When I finally get those videos up, there will be plenty of new skits.
Shamara Myers I grew up in here in Johnstown when my grandparents adopted my sister and I. The sad thing is Johnstown is such a financially depressed area it qualifies for government aid. Everything around here is closing but the only thing the city officials care about is putting money into their own pocket. The mall used to be packed with people on the weekends and now there is almost no one at the mall anymore. The city is gonna be a ghost town if something doesn’t change soon.
Ryan's buffet was actually decent when I was a kid in the early 90's. It started to slack on quality after awhile. I remember you could smoke cigs back then on one side. In those days the smokers would usually outnumber the non smokers.
When they closed this Ryans it was on unannounced.It was on our news the day it closed the workers showed up and it was locked up. They were not told ahead of time.
I missed eating there we used have Ryan's in Greenville,NC now closed thay had good steak and Buffett and now hibachi buffett took over Ryan's steak house.
There is one in Sevierville Tn. That closed last year. The power is still on . The sign is lit up. It just looks like it closed for The nite to reopen the next day. Makes me sad. I loved going to Ryan's over Great American buffet any time!
We have high property taxes school taxes and it is a depressed area. I probably will walk away from my home because I do not think I can sell it. Also we were burdened with sewer refurbishing if you want to call it that. So that might be why we do not eat steak the other is you can make steak at home. I avoid steak houses like the plague.
Row Deo even if you could sell it you probably wouldn’t get close to what you paid for it. My parents are facing the same thing right now and the fact that they want everyone to put in a new sewer system is ridiculous. It’s almost a way for them to trap you into staying in the town. City officials only care about putting money into there pockets as well. The sad thing is people are having to come out of retirement just to survive in Johnstown.
When the company that owns old country buffet and hometown buffet bought them they started closing them. We haven't had one around me for years. they actually have been made into something else now.
There are ALOT of those sink holes around the galleria.. and thru Johnstown 😒 Im a johnstown-er... and sadly between sink holes and pot holes we are covered 😕
Ryan’s shuttered a lot of restaurants a few years back. We have one in Dothan, Al. that has say vacant for years up until a few months back. Starting to to demo work on it now. Great video Wallie!
I live 30 minutes from Pittsburgh we have private owned very good steak houses 3 called Sonny's and 2 Sonny's Grille all owned by the same family. Steak is a 10 at Sonny's in our area and one serves delicious prime rib! Yum
Great video Wallie, sad to see all these restaurants going out of business, and the advertisement looks so yummy,I never had the pleasure to ever go to one because they never had one on the island that I live on, have a great weekend
I worked for Ryan's from 1998 to 2001. It was a poorly ran company but it had the best steaks! The reason it faded was because they got rid of the steaks and went all buffet. Then they sold out to Buffets, Inc. Then they went bankrupted like 3 times. Then it got weird. According to Wikipedia Ryan's had "16 restaurants in 11 states as of February 22, 2019." Use to be over 350.
Used to be a great place to eat but their quality of food and service went down the tube we had one here in Fort Payne Alabama they tore it down and built a Chick-fil-A.
I am not sure if this was nationwide or just a southeast thing, but does anyone remember Quincy’s? There are actually a couple still open Quincy’s in the Carolinas.
0:06 we dont have a good steak place lmao Also this closed abruptly in I think May 2016. Employees and customers showed up there one day and it was closed overnight. And what do we eat around here? Mainly fast food and the over priced local restaurants lol Also: it was a Lone Star! Not long horn! Great video!! I love it!
I mixed up my words so many damn times calling it Lone Star and Long Horn. Lol that sucks. I heard the Lone Star is supposed to become Primanti's though?!
@@WallieB26 yes it is!!! And the ponderosa is supposed to be a Japanese restaurant Also I heard a rumor that Target could be moving into the old Sears, I don't know how true that is but we can hope!
Our entire family would drive about a hour to eat at Ryan’s in Johnstown. The food was really good up to 2015, when it took an absolute dive. Still up to the end, it was fairly busy. At least the Coney Island restaurant opened back up!
Yeah everyone here is glad to see the Coney island is back open but a lot of people said that the food didn't taste the same when the new owners took over which is operators of Miller's tuxedo rentals on Main Street , they reopened it because they knew how much the shop meant to everyone here and they didn't want to see it be closed down. But from what I've heard the founder of the shop took charge again and got back his sauce recipe that he gave up after the shop closed since Miller's wasn't doing a great job.
We used to have Ryan's here in Mobile (Tillman's Corner), Alabama. It was closed almost decade ago and then an Asian buffet restuerant took over and later closed. This building was left untouched until it finally got remodeled into a strip mall with Sprint and Dentistry place. The last time I ate there was on my birthday when I turned 17. This was the only time I went.
Ryan's, hometown buffet, old town buffet, and Fire Mountain(all owned by Ryans) shuttered alot of restaurants over the past few years. Fire mountain is completely goneThey are a buffet/steakhouse style place. There was a fire mountain built in Indiana PA in 2008 but closed in 2016. Its now a fortune buffet chinese style place they kept alot of the fire mountain architecture.
It’s funny watching these because the Ryan’s and Lonestar are literally 5mins away from the house I grew up in. My family and I used to eat there all the time.
I'm a Johnstown, Pa. resident and it's a lot of stores are closed here. The town is a town for a lot of retirees. Great schools. The jobs are scariest here. I assume you've read the story about the 1889 flood and 1937 plus the 1977 flood. Read about the town it's very interesting. And yes stay out of the abandoned building here. Enjoy your stay.
Antoinette Bush Johnstown does not have good schools. A lot of the students are passed even if they need to be held back and the schools don’t work with the kids like they should. Their is so much bullying in those schools including teachers bullying their students it’s sickening. The students have very few recourses and the schools don’t bother to help them like they should. Unfortunately Johnstown just isn’t an great place to be at all not even for most retirees. A lot of the older people are struggling and can’t even really afford to live in Johnstown much more. Have you been to the national flood memorial? That’s really gone down hill too. Unfortunately Johnstown is going to turn into a ghost town if changes aren’t made soon.
Theres only one left in illinois in mt vernon. The parent company also owns old country buffet and there's only one left in Illinois and it's in Chicago. Ryan's had very good food. Ate there a few times.
We used to have a Ryan's in Florence Kentucky it was bought out by a company who wanted to build a hotel I didn't even know that Ryan's had went out of business.
@@WallieB26 I wish that were illegal, that's what Bennigan's/Steak & Ale did back in 2008 and I found it to be outright callous. If I were in charge, I would pass a law requiring that warning be given to employees AND ensure that they are paid with any money bankrupt companies get during liquidation. The company should not be allowed to spend that money on anything expect on paying off employees who were just let go without warning.
It is really sad that different restaurants and different stores are having the clothes like a while back I live in Missouri and all the Payless stores closed I remember when I used to go buy my shoes there because I was hard on shoes so I agree with you it is that they're all closing just shades how bad some things are free stuff like this stopping
It closed 6 or 7 years ago, it was open for Mothers Day, and Monday the next day, staff showed up for work and was told that they were closed permanently. No one knew it was gonna happen.
Yes the one in Peoria illionis is going down hill its dirty and the food nothing to write home about they might as well give you a barf bag along with their food.and what's even nastier is the darn flies landing on your plate of food🤢.
Also owned fire mountain I don’t know if Wallie went to the one in Chippewa Beaver Falls, PA. It been abonded for like 4 to 5 years ago when they shut it down.
Every time i go around the mall i see Ryan’s, just empty, nothingness, wondering what it would be like if it were reopened, never been in Johnstown long enough to to see it open.
My hometown had Ryan's Steakhouse. It closed with no notice. I was very upset. A lot of great people working there and a lot of great costumers. It was a great place to eat. Still bothers me that it closed in 2016.
Mainly just Johnstown, go to a neighboring city like Altoona and they have plenty of restaurants, stores etc. We often make a day of going somewhere outside of Johnstown on the weekends since there isn't much here anymore.
I loved Ryan's - used to go all the time vacationing in SC. Unfortunately we don't have one in FL. FYI - it's not a Steakhouse, they served it... but it was a buffet restaurant. If you want a good steak - check out Texas Roadhouse if there's one there!
Just a question. what's the basis of this video series.. I watched 2 vids an wasn't informed about what's going on... I guess I want to know the intent or fatuation with recording abandoned businesses
I'm from Johnstown and had the pleasure of eating there it was nicknamed the hogtroft I'm sure u can figure out why they had so much food and u could keep going back up as much as u wanted they had hand carved roast beef ham the works at different stations the food was not bad.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Ryans closed their doors with no notice. People from corporate showed up on day with no notice and closed it down, They screwed over a lot of people
They weren't handling the money right..
Every month they were 2,000 dollars or more of over the max aloud for food cost... An then still was running out...
That also happened to the one in Dayton, Ohio.
@@racersabandonedretail361 There needs to be a law that requires warning be given to employees AND that they pay them what their owed with any money that a bankrupt company receives during liquidation or from selling off assets.
That is so unprofessional , they should have give. employees notice.
If they screwed me, if I had worked there, I'd use their butts off! The corporate world doesn't care about the little guy. The only care about themselves, it's money, money, money to put it in their pockets.
There seems to be an agenda against Steak..and THAT would be a HUGE mis-steak!!!
its because of cow farts
Good one! lol
No pun intended lol!
I see what you did there. Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I was in college, my friends and I used go to Johnstown location after term ended or celebrating someone's birthday. They had the college discount for UPJ and PHCC.
That looks like Ryan’s moved into an abandoned Burger King just to abandon itself
Has anyone noticed that Ryan's and the older Golden Corral buildings look virtually the same? Same style building and same type of wooden ceiling setup on the insides.

Ryan was a buffet like a Golden Coral, but towards the end they went down hill. They have torn down most of them and I am sure this is not far behind.
Old Country Buffet locations are on their website.
I ate at Golden Corral a few times and it’s sad what happened to to these places.
Ryan's was my childhood restaurant loved it there gonna miss it it's sad they closed down thank you for a good video I enjoy your videos keep being awesome
i just spent almost 6 hours watching your videos...amazing stuff. no better way to spend a snowy cold Pittsburgh area day 2/7/20 keep up the fantastic videos
My family and I used to eat at Ryan's in FL when I was little all the time. As a kid I loved it there, it was such a treat to go there.
I went there several times when i stopped in Johnstown pa and the food was amazing.

Nice guys. Real capitalists.
They closed fire mountain restaurants as well one was close to me in Beaver Falls, PA
That ending was hilarious
Not for the people who worked there.
Loved the opening. Love your play on a running joke in your videos.
Thanks. I have to do it when I film these restaurants. It just seems to be my thing. Lol last weekend when I bought my new car, I filmed a bunch of abandoned restaurants. When I finally get those videos up, there will be plenty of new skits.
This video speaks to my childhood. Countless Friday or Saturday nights with my grandparents following a movie at the local theater.
Last time i went to eat there was March 2011,Can't believe its closed..
I loved Ryan's loved taking my kids there crazy it's gone I live in johnstown and just so sad

Hittin' up my hometown! that's awesome. and then also hittin up Bridgeville... where i live currently. I am still shocked our taco bell closed.
I miss Ryan's 😢
I actually had a steak house near me close a couple years ago. Sucks when you have a good steak place go away.
Wallie, there's a Ryan's in Ardmore Ok right next to Walmart.
Cool!
Keep up the videos and thank you for sharing
Lol 😁😁😁😂
Cool video Wallie!
Thanks!
Being a johnstown local, i can confirm this is a pretty common occurrence here. Businesses just go right down the shitter here.
It was pretty good. There was one in Houston. It was similar to Golden Corral.
Ryan's use too be good up to the end then it really went down hill i had one local to me in NC
That's a shame.
Ryan's buffet was actually decent when I was a kid in the early 90's. It started to slack on quality after awhile. I remember you could smoke cigs back then on one side. In those days the smokers would usually outnumber the non smokers.

Wallie Getting Nothing At Ryan's Was Very Funny. 🤣🤣🤣
OMG thank God you made this video. I was wondering what happened to Ryan's I called Ryan's "The buffet of life" I missed Ryan's :(
Theres always steak and shake. Oh wait-
Hahaha exactly
@@WallieB26 there is still a Steak n Shake in Ashtabula, OH Mentor, OH and Willoughby, OH
😁😁😁😁😁😳
I would’ve taken some of the signage. That is amazing 😍

Ryan's was 1 of my favorite restaurants I loved going there as a kid with my family.
Ate at both years ago. Also liked Ponderosa. Galleria just about dead. Shame really liked the old Johnstown Mall. Was replaced by Walmart.
When the company that owns old country buffet and hometown buffet bought them they started closing them. We haven't had one around me for years. they actually have been made into something else now.
Woah, that commercial unlocked a memory!
There are ALOT of those sink holes around the galleria.. and thru Johnstown 😒 Im a johnstown-er... and sadly between sink holes and pot holes we are covered 😕

That place was awesome and had good food but I can’t wait forthright new primanti brothers restaurant to be there
I used to work at the one your filming for 11 years I left 2 years before the closed i really loved that place and I miss it
Ryan's use to have a all you can eat buffet for $8 I use to love this place...(it shut down)
Ryan's was my second favorite buffet after Ponderosa! Only had 1 or 2 in Columbus, OH when they left a long time ago! Awesome video!
We used to have Ryan's here in Mobile (Tillman's Corner), Alabama. It was closed almost decade ago and then an Asian buffet restuerant took over and later closed. This building was left untouched until it finally got remodeled into a strip mall with Sprint and Dentistry place.

Yes I did!

Used to eat at a Ryan's in Farmington, MO. Good buffet they had there. All you could eat.
also yrans in mount vernorn il closed a few months are maybe a year ago! and its sad. but its basically golden corral!
Ryans is closed in Chattanooga TN and Dalton GA years ago.

Long horn? You mean Lone Star right?
Yeah, I mixed up my words so many times. Lol
I had a friend of mine that worked there, she showed up as usual and saw the sign in front the door saying it was closed. No warning at all

Which Shell is it? I've filmed a couple up there. Will be in town next weekend.

appeartly no one in pa has enough money to support theseplaces

Dang it no steak at Ryans Steakhouse in Johnstown PA! I wanted some juicy steak for dinner tonight!!
I could go for some steak after filming all these places!
Just a question.
what's the basis of this video series.. I watched 2 vids an wasn't informed about what's going on...
I guess I want to know the intent or fatuation with recording abandoned businesses
Hungry... have some neon spaghetti and alphebet soup🍝🍜
I'm from Johnstown and had the pleasure of eating there it was nicknamed the hogtroft I'm sure u can figure out why they had so much food and u could keep going back up as much as u wanted they had hand carved roast beef ham the works at different stations the food was not bad.
I live in Johnstown, nothing is here at all.
Why do you think that is? Is it the economy? Lack of work?
