17 Restaurants That Have Survived Over Decades and Still Stood Strong

We believe everyone wants to keep up with what is new and trending. We think there is overexcitement on which restaurant will open next so much that sometimes we forget about the restaurants that have stood against the test of time.

FoodBuzz believe longevity is the most reliable judgment on the restaurants’ worth that is why we have gathered 17 restaurants that have been opened for over a decade.
