Kitchen Nightmares restaurants that are closed in 2024

A whopping 65 restaurants viewers grew familiar with on Kitchen Nightmares are now closed. Every single restaurant from both Seasons 1 and 2 is shut down. A couple of restaurants from Seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are still up and running — but not many.

For the most part, the majority of restaurants from these seasons just aren’t around anymore. A few of the more memorable restaurants that didn’t survive include The Mixing Bowl, Hot Potato Café, and Amy’s Baking Company. The restaurants we’ve been introduced to so far in Season 8 are still functioning, and only time will tell if they will last.
