Kick'N Chicken Of Smithtown Closes

SMITHTOWN, NY — Kick'N Chicken of Smithtown closed Sunday, the Nashville-style eatery announced on its Instagram.

"Thank you to all the amazing customers who supported us!" Kick'N Chicken wrote.

It called its closing a "bittersweet feeling." The location was at 20 E. Main St., Smithtown.

Kayli Ruark, an owner and operator at Kick'N Chicken, said the business wants to focus its energy on the grand reopening of the Farmingdale location and its neighboring Nashville bar and lounge, The Coop, as well as the new Huntington location.

"We’re putting it all in there," Ruark told Patch. "We also had another restaurant that was dying for that [Smithtown] location, and it's a better fit for them, so we’re going to support them, and hopefully it will be a fantastic spot for them."

The Smithtown Kick'N Chicken opened in fall 2022.
