A Roanoke County favorite is not returning.
On Monday, the Wingate family announced The Homeplace Restaurant will not be reopening.
The extremely-popular restaurant, located in the Catawba area of the county, closed on Oct. 18, 2020, due to its signature “pack ‘em in” family-style eating not working amidst a global pandemic.
The Wingate family, who runs the popular restaurant, released this statement on Monday:
In the days before the restaurant closed, hundreds of people came out to have a final meal at the establishment of more than 38 years.
At the time of the October closure, Kevin Wingate, the restaurant’s general manager, told 10 News he hoped this wouldn’t be the end of the establishment.
“Maybe when the restrictions are lifted and we can get our restaurant back at a better capacity, we are looking, you know, possibly, possibly, to reopen,” said Wingate.
Below is one of the stories 10 News did during the restaurant’s final days before its October closure.
Below is a look at how crowded things were at the final Thursday of the restaurant, on Oct. 15, 2020.
