As the first “Chef-Driven” restaurant in Keller, FnG Eats is closing Jan. 18 after 12 years of serving Northeast Tarrant County diners.

Quote of note

The closure notice was posted on the eatery’s Facebook page.

“Like the groceries in your kitchen, the medications on your shelf, sometimes the fashion in your closet ... actually, everything in life; restaurants have a shelf life,” co-owners Carlos Arevalo and Bob Stephenson posted. “After long discussions with family, partners and our landlords, we feel FnG Eats has reached its shelf life.”

What you need to know


The restaurant has a full schedule in its last week to accomplish a few goals, including:
  • Letting guests with gift cards come in to use them before closing
  • Allowing regulars come in to say good bye to long-term staff
  • Letting staff get a full paycheck before the end of the month
  • Permitting staff have time to leave the facility in good order so the landlord can re-lease as soon as possible
In addition, the restaurant will still have Meals on Wheels in its final week and two scheduled wine dinners. According to the Facebook post, diners can contact the restaurant to see if seats are still available.
