Roystonian Restaurant Closes for Good This Friday

A favorite eatery for decades in Royston, The Roystonian, is closing this Friday for good.

On their Facebook page, owners Mike & Jennifer thanked the community for its support and said it has been a pleasure to serve the community for the past 30 years.

According to the couple, they originally planned to do catering full-time but said a pending lawsuit from a customer who claims to have fallen on the restaurant property has put an end to those plans.

They said the lawsuit will more than double their insurance rates beginning in July and it’s not feasible to continue.

They added that they have sold their restaurant equipment to another couple, Dale and Amy Greenway, who will be opening a new eatery next to the Food Lion in Royston called “Fannie’s Place” with similar items on the menu.

Again, The Roystonian located on US 29 in Royston, will close this Friday.
