Arthur Bryant’s closes in the Ameristar casino

Arthur Bryant’s Barbeque has closed in the Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City.

“We were there 16 or 17 years. But we couldn’t work out a new deal with them,” said Gary Berbiglia, co-owner of Arthur Bryant’s. “We didn’t want to leave.”

Roxann Kincaid, spokeswoman for Ameristar, said the restaurant closed earlier this month.

“We enjoyed a very long relationship with Arthur Bryant’s,” Kincaid said. “We are looking for fresh ideas, new food and beverage options.”

Ameristar also offers barbecue at its Horizons Buffet.
