When the last restaurant at 1907 Nacogdoches Road, across from the Oak Park H-E-B, closed a couple of years ago, it marked a sad end to a story of survival and resurrection.
BurgerFi suffered enormous damage when a tornado slammed into the restaurant in 2017. But it pulled itself up by its bootstraps and reopened in 2018. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, put an end to their business. And the company went into bankruptcy.
The site has been home to several restaurants over the years, the latest – Fish City Grill – recently opened to rave reviews and what appears to be tons of customers.
The eatery features 3,280 square feet indoors, an outside patio for dining, and a full bar with a specialty cocktail menu. Fish City Grill offers seafood specials and an oyster bar with a daily selection of oysters on the half shell.
The company has twenty restaurants in Texas. And stores in Arkansas, Florida, and Oklahoma. It calls itself “Your Neighborhood Seafood Joint.
As one might expect, the menu features a number of fish, shrimp, and oyster dishes. But Fish City Grill also serves what it dubs a “Damn Good Bacon Cheeseburger” and a Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
