HOUSTON — As March concluded, the Houston dining scene faced notable changes with the closure of ten diverse restaurants across the city. The closures reflect ongoing economic pressures faced by the industry, including rising operational costs and evolving consumer spending patterns.

Among the shuttered establishments was the 1891 American Eatery & Bar, which served the Heights community for 18 months. Despite its popularity for great food and handcrafted drinks, the restaurant cited difficulty sustaining operations amidst changing sales and traffic trends.

Auden, another significant loss, marked its last service in Autry Park. Known for its plant-forward menu, the restaurant had received recognition in Texas Monthly’s Best New Restaurants 2025 list. Chefs Kripa and Kirthan Shenoy expressed optimism for the future despite the closure.

Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in Shenandoah also closed its doors after serving the community for eight years. The steakhouse assured patrons that its other locations in Southwest Houston, Clear Lake, and San Antonio remain open.

The Chinese American Restaurant in Alief ended over 25 years of service, paving the way for new ownership. Similarly, Grace Pizza and Shakes, which delighted patrons with its unique offerings in the Heights, closed, but continues operations in other states.

In Northwest Houston, Kirin Japanese Seafood Buffet, a beloved spot for seafood lovers, ceased operations after more than two decades. In River Oaks, Mi Cocina, a Dallas-based chain, quietly closed its location for the second time after initially opening in 2023.

Passerella Ristorante closed its Washington Avenue location, continuing operations at Towne Lake. The Italian eatery was part of Gr8 Plate Hospitality, which had previously pivoted from its Union Kitchen concept.

Savoir and Patton, known for their dining experiences in the Heights, closed following the owner’s relocation from Houston. The establishment was recognized for its deep hospitality and passionate service.

Finally, Star Sailor, a popular taproom and restaurant in Timbergrove, announced its closure. Known for its community-centric approach and craft beer selections, the venue expressed gratitude to patrons for years of support.

These closures underscore the challenges Houston’s culinary scene faces in a fluctuating economy. Despite the losses, many restaurants express hope for future opportunities and remain committed to serving their communities.
