WALL, TX — Rogue Kitchen, a Wall restaurant that recently marked its seven-year anniversary, announced Monday it is permanently closing its doors.
The restaurant, located at 8022 Loop 570, had faced financial trouble since falling behind on paying its state sales taxes, which its owner attributed to a negligent processing company.
Rogue Kitchen launched a fundraiser Aug. 29 on GoFundMe in a last-ditch attempt to try and save the restaurant.
A month later on Sept. 29, Rogue Kitchen made the closure official, while also announcing a new business venture on its Facebook page:
“To our incredible friends, loyal customers, and the entire community who supported us:
After seven amazing years, we've made the difficult but exciting decision to close Rogue Kitchen's doors. We want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support, laughter, and for trusting us to feed you over all these years. You made every late night, every event, and every dish worthwhile. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
