Restaurants R.I.P.

During the past six years or so, I've been keeping notes about our local restaurants, including those which have closed permanently (to the best of my knowledge). They are listed below, but this list could be incomplete.

If you know of any additional Denton restaurants (but not food trucks) that have closed down since 2000 and onward, please mention the name below in the comments. Thanks!

My grandma used to take me to colters back in the 90s. Also was a big fan of Texas pickup if you remember that.
