The Rim<\/a> restaurant that served \u201cfood with soul<\/a>\u201d in a funky rustic setting, closed for good on July 26.<\/p>\n

A sign posted to their door states, \u201cIt is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of this location.\u201d The restaurant encouraged customers to continue eating with them at The Rim\u2019s<\/a> flagship location in Burleson.<\/p>\n

The Rim opened in Burleson in 2018, and then the Fort Worth location followed in 2021. It was founded by Brent Johnson with chef Keith Hicks, who served a popular chicken-and-waffles brunch.<\/p>\n

California-based Xperience Restaurant Group bought the Rim restaurants<\/a>, along with Johnson\u2019s Rio Mambo restaurants, in 2023. All four Rio Mambo locations<\/a> in Fort Worth, Colleyville, Burleson and Weatherford remain.<\/p>\n

The Rim\u2019s Waterside closure also follows the announcement that Piattello Italian Kitchen<\/a> is leaving the shopping center. The Italian restaurant, founded by Fort Worth chef Marcus Palsay, will find a new home in The Shops at Clearfork. It will be the first and only locally-owned restaurant in the outdoor mall.<\/p>\n
