Famous for its fried chicken, tenders, and hot wings, the closure of Hartz Chicken Buffet came as a surprise to many. General Manager of the outlet, Naro Mak, announced the news in a social media post, thanking the community for 12 years of memories.
“It has been an amazing 12 years serving this community! Thank you, Oak Forest Homeowners Association, Acres Homes Chamber for Business and Economic Development, Inc., Shephard Park Plaza, Candle Light Estates! For the amazing memories and lifetime friendships,” the post read.
“Thank you for your support through many events over the decades, and it was an honor to be there for our community during some challenging moments. You are all the best!” he added. Mak urges his followers to visit the restaurant before the shutdown and follow him for more updates.
“Please share, tag, and follow me for more updates. More importantly, come eat and say farewell. We don’t know how many more days we have, but we will cherish every single one, and we will do to us to do our part for our community! Many, Many thanks!” Mak said.
About Hartz Chicken Buffet
Hartz Chicken was founded in 1972 and has since built a following across the South for its fried chicken. The fast food restaurant became a Houston favorite not only for its chicken but also for its Southern-style sides and homemade yeast rolls.
The closure reflects the changing landscape of local retail, while longtime customers bid farewell to a familiar dining spot.
