Probably lack of business. Every time I've been in there it's been empty.

This. We actually stopped eating there because it freaked me out a little that it was ALWAYS dead...........there is NO way they could've had fresh food all the time with so little business coming in. It was a HUGE place with nobody to fill it.

That would be my guess, since there is an Apple Bees and Cheesecake Factory close by.

I wonder what kind of Restaurant they will eventually put there. My DH keep telling he would like a Cracker Barrel.

My parents would be thrilled if they opened a Cracker Barrel.

If they opened a Cracker Barrel there I would gain 100 lbs.

I would LOOOOVE a Cracker Barrel BUUUT...........they only build alongside interstates so there is no way we'll get one. Someone my DH works with had inquired about opening one on LI and Cracker Barrel said they have a specific business model and that they ONLY open their restaurants alongside interstate highways.

Oh Man!!! That stinks! They should build one off of Sunrise going East. So many people travel that way for the Hamptons and Montauk. I love Cracker Barrel when I go to PA to visit my Aunts.

Re: Houllihans by Smithhaven???
Wow, I had no idea Houlihans had closed. When did this happen? I pass it often and never noticed. I guess that says a lot about the amount of business it gets.

I am a HUGE fan of Cracker Barrel. We went to one along I-95 in CT and this is exactly what our server told us! She agreed with us, that it stinks that we (LI) may never get one! LOL
It's such a great place!
ETA: I used to like Houlihan's, but, last time I was there (a few years ago), eeeh it was "OK".

Hmm, there's one in Lancaster, PA, and it's not close to an interstate highway.

Or close to an interstate. 
I LOVE them but I don't think LI will ever get one. When DH and I go on vacation we literally hit up Cracker Barrel everywhere we go as many times as we can. It's ridiculous! I would be broke and 4000 lbs if we had one here!!

The one out by Cedar Point is far from the Interstate. But it is in a very heavily trafficked tourist area filled with restaurants...
