Cleburne Cafeteria, a long-standing staple among the Houston, Texas community, has reopened after a devasting fire destroyed the beloved restaurant. Located on Bissonnet near Edloe in southwest Houston, Cleburne Cafeteria has been serving the community delicious, made from scratch, homemade food since 1941.
A family-owned restaurant run by the Mickelis family welcomes you with open arms to its newly renovated restaurant lined with a timeline of historical photos along its walls and waiting to serve up food so good it makes you feel as if your sitting at home to a homecooked meal.
In the YouTube video above, you are given a short history lesson on the origins and beginnings of Cleburne Cafeteria as told by owner George Mickelis.
Mickelis treated his patrons that day to a short tour of his family’s newly restored restaurant that has opened its doors just in time for the Thanksgiving and upcoming holidays. “Today, Cleburne Cafeteria® is run very much the way it was back in 1941. The Mickelis family believes in a homey, comfortable environment and simple homemade food,” shares its website.
In an article shared by abc13.com, they stated a few lucky patrons were able to enjoy the food earlier in the week for free as the cooks and staff prepared for their grand re-opening on November 17, 2017.
