Ryan’s Grill Buffet & Bakery Senior Discount
Quick answer: Ryan’s Grill Buffet & Bakery has closed, so the old 10% senior discount is gone. The chain shrank through several bankruptcies, and the last Ryan’s restaurants shut down around 2021. Its owner, Buffets LLC, filed for bankruptcy again that year.

What happened to Ryan’s?
Ryan’s was a favorite for big buffet dinners and fresh yeast rolls. Years of falling sales hurt it, and the pandemic, when buffets couldn’t open normally, finished it off. Old Ryan’s buildings you drive past today are closed or now house other businesses.
