Birth Notice: Donn's Barbecue

Aug 4

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Birth Notice, Barbecue

Temporary sign up in the parking lot and construction underway on the building that formerly housed a Kettle Restaurant on I-35 frontage near Oltorf. This is where I found out that Princess Diana died. I lived right behind the restaurant and walked over there for my Sunday morning fried eggs and bacon only to see the screaming headline on that morning's Statesman.

  As in Donn's from FM 969? They have decent BBQ usually, but truly, their burgers taste better than the que. They succeed so well on 969 due to lack of other nearby eateries. I like the people that work their, so I hope this new joint works out for them.

  My curiosity got the best of me, so I checked the city's building permits. The owner of Donn's on FM 969 is also listed as the owner of this new location. The breakfast menu looks promising (Brisket and Cheese omelette, Chicharon w/Egg & Ranchero Sauce) and this new location will be close enough for me to hit it up.
