RIP Butera’s.
By the way, I meant to mention that much more distressing than the recent closure of the great big Schlotzky’s on Kirby is our recent discovery that Butera’s is also turning away new business. We drove up Montrose a few days ago and saw empty windows and for-lease signage, and fondly recalled summers of sandwiches piled high, Dr. Brown’s Root Beer in a can, local art on the walls, and dire contention for streetside parking. Anyone know why they closed (or if, as this review suggests, it was once part of a chain)?
