The burger joint stated that business this summer has been way down and is on its “last leg.” The decades-old restaurant says it’s not looking for handouts, charity, investors or advice, but asking Houstonians and loyal customers to stop by for lunch or dinner for the next couple of weeks.

When Mytiburger reopened nearly 11 years ago, the old owner said, “When we closed we had a line around the building, where were all those people when we were trying to stay open?”

The restaurant stated that it is not closing, but that this is an effort to appeal to its customers and avoid the decision before its too late.

Mytiburger is located at 2211 West 43rd Street.

Hours of operation:

Sunday - Thursday, 10:30 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Friday - Saturday, 10:30 a.m. - 10 p.m.
