Lame.
thank god! they have the worst service and food!
The service here was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced in the scv, so it’s not a big loss.
I agree. Also, I hardly go there. The food is decent.
Yeah at least they got rid of it then
Airel Jimenez
I saw. I’m so sad
I figured, that’s like your favorite place when you come down here
I though they were going to build a stand alone restaurant in the corner of the mall parking lot?
“Suppose too”
Weird another business in scv closed? That makes how many thousand empty buildings and less jobs but hey move more people here and build more houses so it can take an hour to go 5 miles nice work
My thoughts exactly.
Amen!
It’s amazing how many people see it and yet the city just keeps going and even worse trys to push out small family owned businesses like my own….
Hahah oh asstown *ahem* awesome town. A chain restaurant is referred to as a “legacy of wonderful memories for the community … a staple in our Center and the community”…that’s pathetic. Is it a staple because people liked to go get drunk on their cheap alcohol deals, get in fights, and probably go home with strangers…nice.
There goes the last fun thing to do in SCV.
Where am i supposed to drink and sing karaoke now???
Peter Abba, Sam Graziano, Jason Sitomer ???? no more Friday’s karaoke
Now can we pls get a Cheesecake Factory or California chicken cafe?!?
I would love CCC!!
CCC! OMG! ????????
Bethany Nicole Andriuzzo Rogers, you know I can stop at the Northridge CCC on the way home if you must have it.
I still can’t believe we don’t have any of those yet
No!!!
It’s about time, the service was always horrible and so was the food. Glad to see it go
Is ok come to lees wine bistro! Fri Sat we have pork chops salmon…rib eye
Haven’t been to Lee’s for a while. Love his place.
Sucks for the people working there. And right before the holidays. Not cool!!
Daniel Estrada RIP. TGIF 2 nite?
Now you have no place to wear your Seahawks jersey you bought from the toddler section at TJ Maxx David Jimenez
I’m going wear it everyday now!
Jerry Michael Verduzco
Pascale DeBaun Tricia White-Kampe Katie Maloney :(

Horrible chain, horrible food, completely outdated. Let’s get something unique/independent in there. No more chains!
The only chain they should put is Cheesecake Factory
With a town this size you would expect a lot of chain restaurants
Cheesecake does a nice job. Yeah, I would expect chains, but I would also expect a reasonable amount of good independent restaurants. There are plenty who would support them. Sadly, many people out here consider Lazy Dog Cafe “gourmet”…
Hopefully they’ll put an Applebee’s there (I kid…)
I miss Applebee’s too
We gave this place so many chances and they could never seem to get anything right. We would wait forever for our order and it would just come our wrong. The one in Porter Ranch is always so much busier and better (and still not that fantastic) I agree would love to see a Cheesecake Factory move in! Would also like to see this town get a PF Changs!!!
Pf Changs…no to cheesecake factory
Must of had the wrong servers:)
Did they have enough employees to have to qualify for the WARN act?
Went there once. It felt like a dungeon and the food was plain. Can’t figure out why it took so long to close. I think chain restaurants were once a novelty but people are growing tired of them.
Cheesecake Factory!!!!!!!!
Great story in this old issue of LA Magazine about Cafe Melissé, the failed attempt by Chef Josiah Citrin to bring fine dining to the Valencia Town Center – let’s just say it didn’t work out very well! But hey – TGIF failed and the Newhall Refinery is thriving so maybe there’s hope for the SCV yet!https://books.google.com/books?id=Cl4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=cafe+melisse+valencia&source=bl&ots=AQDbAeoGW6&sig=m-2Wj4uuYub3mlbKiBs8AQSPICI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCUQ6AEwB2oVChMI9pKgt_OsyAIVi0uICh2JZwfa
They are putting Saddle Ranch in there… Aka “skank ranch” enjoy?
I heard Telly’s and Jimmy Dean’s are opening shop!!!
Babe!!! Joey Campbell
Jackie Ellis Jocelyn Reed
So sad. Had so many good times at that place Shawnee Gentry Jocelyn Reed ?
Maybe they still have your plaque? ?
I hope so. I worked hard for that. You should go pick it up for me ?
Lol I told Trav I want that plaque
I worked security for that mall when it was really turning over drunks at their Bar. So many dui’s came out of that place is not even funny. Thank God. That place only survived thanks to the alcohol problem in scv. Watched sheriff’s to judges left trashed from that place.
Taylor Lane ?
I know lol I heard like a month ago
Cheese cake factory shall open now
Sammantha Taylor
Noooooo! What?!!!
Our date nights are ruined ????
Michelle James
I hope they open up a Porto’s….like the one in Burbank. :)
Red robin is moving out also…
It seems like people are saying it’s not good food just because it’s a chain restaurant like that has nothing to do with the food
Or because the food wasn’t that good
Really sad to see all the horrible comments about this place.
All you Valencia people won’t be happy when you see what’s taking its place. Talking about fights and dui’s? Just you wait!
Do you know what is taking its place?
Hooters?
Rumor is…. Saddleranch
Saddle ranch for sure. Opening June/July of next year.
Saddle ranch are you kidding?
Haha. I would be super surprised if Santa Clarita valley allowed saddle ranch to have the permits to open here. ?
What is Saddle Ranch? Never heard of it.
Eddyy Oo
Crazy ??
How come elephant bar and Haggens employees didn’t get that same notice??
One of the waitresses told my friend and i they already leased that spot to another restaurant for 10 years!!
Which?
She didnt say wich one
I heard Saddle Ranch.
Alyssa McCabe, I think we need to go one last time:)
Sogol Pulley
Finally! The service here was always terrible. Anything would be a step up from this place. Management must of been a big problem here or they wouldnt be getting all these comments about their bad service consistently through the years
Must of had the wrong server:)
Tianna Lopez the place of our first dinner date is closing ?. Should we be that cheesy couple that goes one last time before it’s gone? ???
Let’s go!!!!!
Laura Gagnon WHAT NO MY SHIRLY TEMPLES ?
No big loss here as the food always sucked and was usually flung at you by someone barely entering puberty. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Heard Saddle Ranch is replacing it. ?
Mikayla Garrett
So sad
A PF Changs, Cheesecake Factory or Porto’s would be great.
I don’t think any of those would go there, too small. I was hoping the old Elephant Bar would become one of those great restaurants. But no, they are moving Red Robin over there. Another outdated restaurant.
Say what you want about the service, but Friday’s was one of a very few decent places to go in the SCV to get a late night meal.
We had a tradition in my family that when my kids turned 21, we took them to Friday’s at midnight on their 21st Birthday for a celebratory late night dinner and their legal first drink.
I will miss it!
Buffalo Wild Wings would be AWESOME!!
There’s one in CC?
There’s one on Soledad and Whites Canyon
Yay! Their service has SUCKED for years!!!
Dianne Resos
More people out of work, feel bad for employees!
How about a Yard House?
Ooh noo Lydia we need to go before!
