Houston restaurants\u00a0close<\/a> all<\/a> the<\/a> time<\/a>, but some don’t really make a sound when they do. Matty G’s Steakburgers appears to have vanished from Houston’s Heights neighborhood. The restaurant was almost about to hit the one-year mark.<\/p>\n

News about Matty G’s closure started making the rounds<\/a> on social media in late May. The restaurant chain’s website doesn’t list the Houston location on the front page, and a call to a number associated with the storefront had bounced.<\/p>\n

Matthew Gorman opened Matty G’s at 1111 Studewood St. in the Heights in July 2025. Studewood Cantine previously occupied the space. According to Community Impact<\/a>, Gorman said the location was the restaurant chain’s first Texas location. At present, Matty G’s has restaurants in Idaho and Arizona, which is where the chain started<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matty G’s is a sports-themed restaurant, meant to be a kind of “mini Hall of Fame.” Interiors are adorned with old-school jerseys, memorabilia and more than a dozen television sets to watch the game. Its menu matches the vibe, with steakburgers, hot dogs, wraps, loaded fries, lobster rolls and a few desserts.<\/p>\n

One of the rumors going around is that Matty G’s will be replaced by a Mediterranean restaurant. City permits seem to lend credence to that theory. A certificate of occupancy filed in the middle of June showed a Spice in the Heights\/Mediterranean Mezze Grill as the owner\/occupant.<\/p>\n

The 1111 Studewood development, which includes a rooftop entertainment venue, lofts, and street-level retail, has seen a few restaurants come and go since it went up in 2013. It previously housed a Piatto Ristorante, a Los Cucos Mexican Caf\u00e9 and Studewood Cantine. Sushi By the Heights, which opened in 2022, is still kicking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston restaurants\u00a0close all the time, but some don’t really make a sound when they do.
