What happened after Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network)?

Longbranch Steak and Seafood, at 805 South Glynn Street in Fayetteville, Georgia, appeared on Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) in an episode that aired July 11, 2012, the season four premiere. Ahead of filming, The Citizen, a local Fayette County newspaper, reported on March 7, 2012 that the restaurant would be part of the show, that Chef Robert Irvine would have two days and about ten thousand dollars to revamp the business, and that Longbranch planned a grand reopening dinner on the evening of Thursday, March 15, 2012, with the reopening filmed as part of the episode.

As is typical for the series, the show's crew targeted the restaurant's decor, service systems, and menu during the two-day renovation, aiming to fix problems in the space and the food that had put the steak-and-seafood restaurant's future in doubt, working against the same two-day, ten-thousand-dollar limit used throughout the series, before sending diners back in for the filmed reopening night described in The Citizen's preview coverage of the taping.

The restaurant did not remain open in the long run. Food Network's own restaurant directory for the show lists this location's entry as "Longbranch Steak and Seafood (Closed)," at the same 805 South Glynn Street address named in The Citizen's 2012 coverage. A Yelp listing for a similarly named Long Branch Restaurant elsewhere in Fayetteville, on Glynn Street North, is also marked permanently closed, with an update dated September 2026, though that listing was not confirmed to represent a continuation of the same business rather than a separate, later restaurant. No dated news article was found describing exactly when or why Longbranch closed; the closure is documented here through the show's own directory and the area's closed restaurant listings rather than a specific local news report describing the shutdown itself, and this record should be treated as reported pending any additional confirming coverage.
