Restaurant chain 801 Chophouse files for bankruptcy | FOX 5 DC
The parent company of the high-end steakhouse restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy sparking concerns about the future of some locations nationwide.
www.fox5dc.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- 801 Restaurant Group, the parent company of 801 Chophouse, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2026 to restructure about $18.7 million in debt. This is a parent-level filing, and individual 801 Chophouse locations reportedly remain open and operating during the restructuring.[1]
- Several outlets highlight that the bankruptcy filing does not automatically force closure of all 801 Chophouse restaurants; the focus is on the parent company’s debts, with restaurant-level entities said to be operating separately and not themselves in bankruptcy as of the reports.[2][3][4]
- Some articles note linked challenges around beef prices and broader restaurant-sector pressures as context for the filing, but they also emphasize that patrons can likely continue dining at existing locations during the process, subject to standard hours and operations.[6][9]
If you’re looking for location-specific status (e.g., whether a particular Miami-area 801 Chophouse is affected), I can check the latest local coverage or contact the restaurant directly for confirmation. I can also pull out the exact dates and court details if you’d like.
