Overnight fire damages Fort Worth diner rated ‘state’s best soul food restaurant’
A beloved east Fort Worth restaurant was damaged in an overnight fire Thursday, officials said.
When crews arrived at Nana’s Kitchen, located at 7403 John T White Road, heavy fire was already coming out the windows, according to Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV.
The fire was mostly confined to the storage area, officials told WFAA, and there was some smoke and water damage to the building. The restaurant was closed at the time of the fire, and no one was injured.
“The restaurant did not burn down. There was a small fire in storage,” spokesperson Avery Smith posted on social media. “They are well insured. Thanks for all the prayers and wishes.”
No GoFundMe will be established for Nana’s Kitchen, Smith said.
Fort Worth native Toshia Ramsey opened the serving-line restaurant, known for its meatloaf and smothered pork chops, in 2018.
Lovefood.com recently ranked Nana’s Kitchen as the best soul food restaurant in Texas.
