hopefully reopening soon
Here are the Houston restaurants temporarily closed due to coronavirus
As restaurants across the Houston area struggle with governmental restrictions that limit them to only serving diners via delivery or to-go, some establishments are making the painful choice to close temporarily. Not every restaurant's food translates well to-go, and customers may not be visiting a business frequently enough for it to remain viable.
Here's a quick look at some places that have closed temporarily since the City of Houston and Harris County required restaurants to cease dine-in operations. This list does not include the places already listed by restaurant group.
CultureMap will update this list as necessary. Hopefully, all of them resume operations soon.
