MANASSAS, VA — The longtime owners of the Yorkshire Restaurant in the Manassas area will say farewell, but the family-owned diner isn't going away.

The restaurant announced the ownership change after the Natour family owned the restaurant for 44 years. Matt and Elias Natour had bought the restaurant in 1979.

"To our beloved customers, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the end of our Yorkshire journey for the Natour family," the owners shared. "We are beyond grateful for the years of support and cherished memories shared within the restaurant. Your loyalty and support has been the heartbeat of our restaurant and it will never be forgotten!"

The owners clarified that the restaurant wouldn't be closing. The owners said the new owners are being trained to cook the same food, including the favorite Top Hat special.

"We hope you all continue to give your support, as one door closes, another door opens," the owners shared on social media. "Thank you all for being apart of our 44 + year journey, and we can't wait to see the continued success under their care!"

The Yorkshire Restaurant has been open since 1950 and has earned best breakfast in the Manassas area accolades. For more information, visit www.yorkshirerestaurantmanassas.com.
