Original Rib House

It’s last call for a visit to The Original Rib House in Vandalia.  After serving up ribs and broasted chicken for almost 40 years, the restaurant will close it’s doors for good at the end of the night Saturday, July 13th.

This afternoon Renee Brusman, manager and co-owner posted this message on their facebook page:

After much thought and consideration, we have decided that after 38 years Saturday July 13th will be our last day of operation. The time has come for us to end this chapter of our lives. We wanted to take this time to thank the community these past 38 years. We love our city, schools, fellow businesses and residents. It truly has been a blessing to break bread with you all. We have been present for some of your family gatherings, surprise parties, birthdays, Christmas parties, and even good-byes. We will always be grateful to you for allowing us to be part of your lives. We would love to see you this week to say good-bye and share one last meal together. Thank you all for the memories! #vandaliapride

Brusman, who’s partners are her parents, Bill and Carolyn Brusman say that business has slowed down, keeping good help has become more difficult and after much hard family deliberation, it was time.  The Brusman family encourages folks to come in for one more meal and to say goodbye.

Thanks for all the great meals and memories and we wish you all the best on your next chapter!
