As part of revamping this site, I'm splitting 904 West Davis Street off from this page. This used to be a Kettle restaurant (#22, 1974 to around 2010), which started to disappear around this time (it was once a rather popular chain in Texas and the South). It quickly reopened as Conroe Café but within a few years became El Charrito Restaurant and by late 2019 was gone entirely. The lot was redeveloped as 7-Eleven in 2020, but it was one of the earlier casualties of 7-Eleven underperforming in the Houston area, and it closed in 2024. As of this writing it is still vacant.
