If the man owns the restaurant, he can refuse to serve anyone he wishes to so long as it doesn't fall under discrimination statutes. Therefore, as long as he's not refusing to serve him based on his race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation (in certain states), etc then he can do whatever he wants.
Hell, he can wait until the middle of Mother's Day brunch when half the meals are served and kick everyone out on Sunday if he just feels like the restaurant is being put under undue burden.
As not PC as it may be (and as much of a champion I may usually be of those sorts of things), he can refuse service to someone just because he doesn't like them at any hour of any day of the year with no legal consequences unless someone can prove he did it out of discrimination based on a protected class.
Being O.J. Simpson is not a protected class last time I checked. Thank God, too.
