Two locations of O'Henry's Food & Spirits, a place known as much for its burgers and as for the peanut shells on the floor, have closed. Hand-lettered signs at both 634 S. Carrollton Ave. and 8859 Veterans Memorial Blvd. read: "Closed effective 12/15/16." Henry Rosenblat, who started the restaurant in 1982 and sold it in 2008, said on Friday (Dec. 16) that road and streetcar line construction in the Carrollton and Riverbend neighborhoods led to the demise of the two decades-old restaurants.
the fod wasnt all that great but back in the mid-80's we used to eat at the riverbend place all the time.
that location is prime though
anyone know who/what owns the building?

How does construction uptown affect the Metairie location?

Didn't even know they were still open. Did a stint at the Slidell location in 99-00.

Overhead can kill a restaurant quick. I have construction going on in front of my place now and its hell. I always knew it would affect me but not to this degree. You can bleed money very fast in this business. You can hold out only for so long or as long as your assets and cash flow will allow. And if bleed enough at one location it can suck the life out of the other.

I remember they sponsored my playground baseball/softball leagues and the "player of the game" winning a certificate for free cheese fries. The best of times to earn those fries.

Cheese fries and Jerald Honeycutt!

I just got a Clipper Magazine in the mail about a week ago and they had a full page ad on the cover and it advertised that they are open on Christmas Day.

Was my landlord for 3 years when I lived in the Riverbend. He always struck me as kind of a sketchy dickhead, but Rufus was the fricking man.
