In a Jan. 9 announcement on social media, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille announced the upcoming closure of its River Oaks restaurant.

The closure is the first since the company’s founding in 1979.

The big picture

The announcement stated that the difficult decision was caused by a contractual dispute with the restaurant’s landlord.

“We are incredibly grateful for the years of memories that our guests and team members have made, and are offering every single member of the restaurant’s staff an equivalent position at one of our seven other Perry’s locations in the Greater Houston area,” stated the post.

What they offer

Perry’s operates across nine states, and Houston’s seven locations make the city its most populous area.

The restaurant serves steaks and seafood, including A-5 Japanese Wagyu beef, oysters and a cold seafood tower.
