But the restaurant’s time will soon come to an end as last week, Classic on Noble announced it will be closing its doors for good at the end of 2025.
“After 30 wonderful years serving this community, we have decided it is time to retire and close the doors of Classic on Noble at the end of this year. It is hard to put into words what these years have meant to us. Classic on Noble has been our life’s work, and our hearts are filled with gratitude for everyone who has walked through our doors.”

The restaurant has also received national recognition from the Food Network.
“One of our greatest joys has been sharing life’s moments with you. From weddings and baby showers to anniversaries and reunions, we have watched families grow and generations come together around our tables. The laughter, stories and friendships we have shared will always stay with us.
“We would also like to thank all our employees, past and present. They have been like family, and their dedication, talent and care are what made Classic on Noble what it is. None of this would have been possible without their work, loyalty and passion for what we do.”
