DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) — The State of Alabama’s final O’Charleys location closed over the weekend.
The restaurant is now permanently closed, according to the chain’s own website.

A report from al.com said Decatur’s O’Charleys was the last location still open in the state, after the final Birmingham area restaurant closed in November 2023. Locations in Prattville, Foley and Daphne also reportedly closed in 2023.
Restaurant Business reported last fall that by August 23, 2023, the chain had closed over 50 stores nationwide that year.
The ‘relaxed’ chain restaurant was started in Nashville, Tennessee by Charlie Watkins in 1971, and has grown to have locations in 13 different states, not including the now ‘O’Charleys-less’ Alabama.
