It seems like restaurants are closing on a daily basis around the country, and we can sadly add one more to the list.
According to a post from the restaurant’s Facebook page, Taste of Texas BBQ in McCook, Nebraska, is closing after 23 years in business.
The social media post explains that economic issues are the cause, citing product cost, inflation and the rising minimum wage as the reasons.
“It is with a heavy heart that I am informing the community of McCook that Taste of Texas is closing our doors effective immediately,” the post read. “The last 23 years have been the best.
“With the rising cost of product, inflation, and the increasing of minimum wage, we are unable to keep the doors open. We have thoroughly enjoyed serving this wonderful community. We are extremely broken hearted.”
Sadly, those reasons are too common in this day and age as restaurants face an uphill climb thanks to rising costs.
Former patrons of the beloved restaurant were heartbroken to hear the news.
“That’s too bad, great food and great people,” one reply to the post said. “Another restaurant out of McCook.”
“This absolutely breaks my heart for our community,” another comment said. “Such an amazing restaurant.”
“Huge loss to McCook,” one former patron said. “So sorry!”
The restaurant first opened in 2002 and was family owned and operated.
