A Family-Owned Hawaiian Restaurant Shutters, and More June 2025 Restaurant Closings in Austin
In a fast-paced place like Austin, restaurants come and go all the time. Do you know of an Austin-area restaurant closure that's not on this list? Drop us a line at austin@eater.com.
This divey sports bar in North Austin announced on Instagram that July 2025 will be its final month of operation. The owner posted that the closing was due to 'a variety of reasons,' and that Bullseye Bakery will be taking over the space. The post also teases specials and 'fun things' for July for those who swing by the restaurant before its closure.
The owners of this Hawaiian spot announced on Instagram that the restaurant is for sale and the family will be 'moving back to Hawaii to spend time with family and care for our Kupuna,' which is Hawaiian for grandparent. They would prefer to sell it to someone who will maintain the spirit of the place, if not the exact menu. The Valentino family's last day running the restaurant will be July 18.
This pretty little spot just south of the Colorado River held its final service on Sunday, June 22. In a post on Instagram, owner Felix Jimenez-Gamez wrote, 'We opened Mour Cocina Bodega with brunch… and brunch will be our final shift.' While Jimenez-Gamez didn't detail the reasons for the closure, he did note that he has started a GoFundMe to cover the final business expenses and loans, and ensure the staff receive their final paychecks. In another post, he expressed some hope that the restaurant will open again.
After the Fourth of July weekend, there will be one less brunch spot in San Antonio. The restaurant announced it is closing its Los Patios location in a Facebook post early in June. The Bandera Road location will remain open. The Cafe employs people recovering from addiction, and its menu has items priced as a suggested donation. The restaurants are set up as non-profits that benefit the Smithville-based Serenity Star Recovery Resource Center. No specific reason was given for this closure.
After 63 years in business, this San Antonio taqueria, known for its puffy tacos and fried fish, will close on June 28. The building is being demolished to make way for an overpass. Owner Alex Pruneda sold the land and restaurant to accommodate the construction project and plans to retire, according to a report in the San Antonio Express-News .

Exclusive-Walmart to close Sam's Club fulfillment center in Texas, affecting hundreds of employees
By Siddharth Cavale NEW YORK (Reuters) -Walmart said on Thursday it is closing a fulfillment center that services online orders for its warehouse club chain Sam's Club in Fort Worth, Texas, and sources familiar with the matter said the move could result in job losses. Walmart confirmed the closure to Reuters but said it could not estimate the number of possible job losses until employees make their decisions on relocation. "We're continuously evolving our fulfillment network to improve service for our customers and members as their needs change," the retailer said in a statement. "We are relocating operations ... to other facilities within our fulfillment network," it added. Volumes that were handled at the fulfillment center known as DFW4 will be relocated to a high-tech fulfillment center in Lancaster, Texas, and three other Dallas-area facilities, a spokesperson said. Walmart has significantly ramped up investments in its e-commerce operations to accelerate delivery times and better compete with In the first quarter, these efforts paid off as the retailer reported its first-ever profit from its online business. Sales at Sam's Club - Walmart's membership-based warehouse chain - surged 27% during the same period. The company also noted that more than 50% of its members now use digital transactions in some form with Sam's Club. The DFW4 facility's relocation will be completed by summer, the spokesperson said, adding that the retailer has roles for all affected people, if they choose to continue with Walmart. Sources familiar with the DFW4 facility, including one who applied for a position there in February, said the center employed hundreds of workers. The hourly pay for a freight handler position at the facility showed a wage range between $21.60 and $25.10 per hour, according to Walmart's career portal. The retailer said it would help employees obtain jobs at surrounding Walmart facilities, including stores. It said it will also offer a $7,500 transfer bonus and relocation benefits to those who choose to move to any of its Walmart high-tech fulfillment centers in the country.

Budget traveler reveals inside of $7 per night hostel: ‘That's just prison'
It cost $7— but it was hardly seventh heaven. German backpacker Fiona Strack has shocked social media after sharing footage of an ultra-cheap hostel that she stayed in during her travels to Manila in The Philippines. 'Still not sure if it was a hostel, a dog shelter, or a prison' she wrote in the caption, 'but hey, €6 (USD $7) a night and I had WiFi, electricity, a fan, and a clean towel.' Advertisement The viral reel posted to her account, @ detailing the hostel's tiny sleeping space, shabby bathroom, and padlocked metal door — has racked up over 32.5 million views in just three days, and commenters expressed every emotion from shock to horror to slightly guilty amusement. 'May this never ever find me,' one commenter wrote. 'Baby, that's just prison,' said another sympathetic viewer. Advertisement 4 'For 6 euros, this isn't bad,' justified one commenter. Instagram/@ 4 On her Instagram, Strack identifies as a solo traveler and a 'digital nomad.' Instagram/@ 'Typical New York 1 bedroom,' quipped one commenter. 'Ma'am, you're crate training,' joked a user, while another said, 'Not the human kennel…' Advertisement Many commenters were also concerned that the influencer had mistaken the bidet for the shower head, but unfortunately for curious viewers, that was among the only details she didn't share. 4 'I'd rather not travel and stay home instead. I really don't understand why people want to travel the world like this,' said one critic. Instagram/@ 'I am so glad that my level of budget hotels is four stars and up. I'm not compromising safety, a good night's rest, a private bathroom and shower, and room service just to save a few bucks,' argued a particularly detail-oriented traveler. 'I'd rather this than a tent in the woods or sleeping in my car,' replied one wallet-conscious Instagrammer. 'It's not bad for one or two nights to save money.' Advertisement 4 Strack travels across the world with just a few bags to her name. Instagram/@ Despite the jokes and pity from commenters who were horrified by the budget hostel's appearance, Strack seems to be no stranger to the unexpected, particularly where travel fails are concerned. The influencer has been traveling across Asia for the past year, and has documented her adventures in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, among other locales. While she shares some undeniably beautiful sights from her travels — pink sand beaches, vibrant city streets and verdant forest hikes — Strack is also brutally honest with her followers about her lifestyle. 'Unfortunately, I'm not sponsored and I'm not traveling from daddy's money,' she explained in another recent video. 'I just work. I'm a low-budget backpacker, so I don't need a lot. I always try to find a job or volunteer project in the place I'm at, and sometimes I work in exchange for food or accommodations,' she shared. Strack also added that she works in social media management for a German company, and works about 15 hours a week on that job. It's enough for Southeast Asia, she says, but not for everywhere, so staying in a budget hostel like the one in her viral reel is sometimes necessary. While the travel influencer may have expressed a little bit of apprehension while she navigated the dingy hallways of the €6 accommodation, her latest posts see her spirits lifted after what the Internet supposes must have been a 'traumatic' hostel stay — snorkeling in clear blue waters with turtles and catching bright orange sunsets in the Philippines aren't bad pick-me-ups, after all.
