My dad used to eat a waffle there every Monday morning. He passed in 2013 and the whole Holder family was sad to hear it.

Love how big the plates they serve you there are, and also affordable. I will be back there to support

What did the fire investigators say about the cause?

[secndtonne]

They should do like a in person fundraiser and sell the food from there on the street to help with the cost of the new building

Lots of restaurants “burning down” in San Jose during this pandemic.

The Holders sold that restaurant back in 2018.

What did they say was the cause of the fire? Did he get insurance money from it?

[Mike-ygx]

The Owner seems like a shady character with that smirk 😏... Maybe Insurance money 💰??? Shhhmm
