The restaurant business is a tough one, and the COVID-19 pandemic almost all but destroyed it. Even before closures became mandatory, restaurants came and went with regularity. Statistics on restaurant failure rates vary widely. Oneestimatesuggests that up to 90% of independent eating places close within their first year of operation.
Unmanageable rent increases, changes in customer demographics or consumer tastes, fires or the effects of natural disasters, and the deaths and divorces (or simply retirement) of owners are among the many reasons that even thriving eating places fail.< P>![](http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AATA1EB.img?h=416&w=799&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=f&l=f)

Details of the restaurant’s early days are scarce, but one H.V. “Homer” Paul took possession of the place in 1926, later losing it, perhaps in a card game, to a man named Hank Frey. Frey lost the place in turn to local rancher Gene Wade Jr. in a crаp game in 1945, and the Wades retained ownership for the next 45 years.
The steaks were high...................

I’ve been there (Cattleman’s) a few times. It’s amazing how small and cramped it is, since it’s been in the same location forever. Really nice experience.

Breitbach’s nestled in a beautiful setting in the hills of Northeast Iowa (not far from Dubuque) is definitely worth the stop. Best pie anywhere!

I’ve eaten at the Columbia many times.......mostly in St.Augustine and a few times in Tampa
The Columbia is Old World decor.......very rich colors, beautifully resplendent
Many years ago they use to serve cold drinks in pewter goblets.......ice cold!
Our favorite is the 1905 ( the year they began)...salad
It is unique and we pair it with black beans and rice.
Their homemade bread is soooo good!

Really cool. I have actually seen two of them, and I bought some bagels in a Katz deli which was one of theirs but opened later in Brooklyn.

I always thought the Cattleman’s Steakhouse in Fort Worth was one of the oldest but it opened in 1947. Just a young whippersnapper compared to these.

Old Homestead > Location:New York City, New York > Year opened:1868 The oldest continuously operating steakhouse in America, and arguably the oldest restaurant in New York City, the Old Homestead was originally a tiny restaurant, operated by the Heinz family as part of the Tidewater Trading Post, serving what was then the waterfront (the Hudson River once reached nearly to its doors). The place expanded as the river receded, growing into a full-scale steakhouse, and in the 1940s, it was bought by a longtime employee, Harry Sherry. His grandsons own and operate it today.
