www.winespectator.comHere are the latest publicly reported updates on 801 Chophouse:
The operator, 801 Restaurant Group LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2026 to restructure its debts. The filing lists assets and liabilities in the multiple–tens of millions range and involves eight restaurants under the 801 Chophouse and 801 Fish brands. This indicates ongoing restructuring rather than immediate liquidations. [Source: multiple reports around April 2026, including coverage noting the Chapter 11 petition and the debt load.]
Locations affected include markets such as Minneapolis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Denver, St. Louis, Omaha, Leawood, and Tysons Corner, with at least one previously operating affiliate (801 Nicollet in Minneapolis) having closed. The bankruptcy filing and related press suggest ongoing operations at several locations during restructuring. [Source: bankruptcy filings and restaurant coverage from April 2026.]
There has also been ongoing coverage of related brand activity, including expansion of 801 Chophouse concepts and a note that some sites previously housed 801 Fish have been repurposed, consistent with a strategic realignment during the Chapter 11 proceedings. [Source: contemporaneous news pieces on brand portfolio changes.]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current official court docket details or summarize the impact on each location (open/closed, status) with specific dates. I can also look up the latest statements from 801 Restaurant Group or its counsel. Would you like me to do that?

My Dallas friends ran into restaurant buddies from home who were in town for a Rangers-Royals series. The Texas friends were raving about “the best steakhouse ever.” When they revealed
