Now Closed
Macaroni Grill
5858 W. Northwest Highway
The Northwest Highway location of Romano’s Macaroni Grill, along with two other Dallas-area locations, closed in May. Company representatives blamed high rent prices for the closure. The Italian food chain has recently closed other locations in Alabama, California, Louisiana, Missouri, and North Carolina.
Cedar Grove
4123 Cedar Springs Road
After its popular monthly Drag Brunch on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, Cedar Grove shut down without warning.

Cedar Grove was a concept from Tim McEneny’s restaurant management group, NL Group, that took the place of DISH Cedar Grove in 2016.
