A Heartfelt Thank You and a New Chapter at Ribeyes of Snow Hill

After 23 incredible years of hard work, dedication, and building a strong foundation for Ribeyes of Snow Hill, Calvin Watson is officially retiring. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Calvin for his unwavering commitment to serving the community and making Ribeyes a beloved local favorite. Your legacy will always be a part of this place!

We’re excited to introduce ourselves — we’re Stephen and Emily Kearney, and along with our children, Ava and Easton, we are the new owners of Ribeyes of Snow Hill! As lifelong residents of Greene County, this opportunity means the world to us. We are passionate about carrying on the tradition of great food, excellent service, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere you've all come to love.

To get ready for this exciting new chapter, the restaurant will be closed Monday, September 29th through Thursday, October 2nd for renovations. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!

We’ll be reopening for lunch on Friday, October 3rd at 11:00 AM, and we’re looking forward to seeing all of your familiar faces—and some new ones too!

Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to new beginnings and the same great experience at Ribeyes of Snow Hill!

— Stephen & Emily Kearney
