Midway BBQ, 6025 Highway Blvd., is still preparing to reopen, but a company spokesman said Thursday that a gas line remained to be installed and the restaurant still had to undergo some inspections. No official reopening date has been set.
Officials had previously hoped to reopen by Sept. 1, but had cautioned of reconstruction and inspection delays.
Despite the delay, Midway continues to serve meals at its long-established Midway Meat Market location, 5901 Highway Blvd.
Midway also opened Midway BBQ Jr., 6191 Highway Blvd., to accommodate its customers. The “junior” location has been closed as the restaurant prepares to reopen.
The rebuilt restaurant will feature a third smoker in a new smoker room, an expanded service kitchen and food service line. It will also feature a new catering kitchen, new bakery kitchen area, larger dessert case and retail area.
Improvements have also been made to the restaurant’s semi-private dining room and the private banquet room has been redesigned.
The restaurant, long a Katy icon, burned in February 2021. The damage to the interior of the building was a total loss and the rebuilding effort began from scratch.
