“Last night, a small fire occurred at our off-site warehouse, not at the Turkey Leg Hut restaurant itself. We are relieved to report that, thanks to the swift and heroic efforts of the Houston Fire Department, the situation was quickly brought under control with no injuries and no impact on our restaurant’s operations.

We are deeply grateful to the firefighters and first responders for their dedication and quick action, which prevented any major damage. Their bravery ensures safety and minimal disruption, not just for us but for the entire community.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our community for your concern and support during this incident. It’s your support that uplifts us and reinforces why we do what we do every day.

Turkey Leg Hut is open and we warmly invite everyone to join us for a meal. We remain as committed as ever to providing a safe, welcoming environment and delivering the delicious, comforting meals you’ve come to love.

Thank you for being a part of our family. We look forward to seeing you soon.”

The restaurant released the following statement to the Turkey Leg Hut Instagram account:

“To our valued customers: Restaurant operations were not impacted by a small fire in our warehouse last night. We will resume normal business operations this morning at 11 a.m. and look forward to serving you! Walk-ins are welcome and all reservations will be honored. Thank you for your continued support!”

Firefighters were called to the 4800 block of Almeda at 10:49 p.m. It’s unclear how much damage the building sustained, and no injuries were reported.

We’ll provide updates when we learn more information.
