If you have been following us since we first started this site in November 2009, then you have been privy to watching the fascinating journey of how we set up and started a restaurant in Old Town Katy.

And while it’s been quite an interesting journey full of drama (i.e., construction!, road closures!), fun (i.e, duck races!, playing records in the Record Lounge, Movie Nights!) and adventure (i.e., baby showers, Ladies Night Out!, Dining Out for Life!, Winning the Brew Ribbon Award!) unfortunately our time on the Cottage Charm properties has come to an end. Today is our last official day as a restaurant.

With these rough economic times, Old Town Katy has been especially hit hard this summer. And while we have been getting raves for our food and a steady fan base (Thanks for your support everyone!) we just couldn’t build enough traffic to keep our doors open any longer.

But fear not! We are regrouping and will hopefully provide catering sometime in the coming months. In the meantime Chef Eric is available to provide personal on-site cooking services for your event or just a special night for a loved one.

If you have any questions about a past event that we hosted or other business matter, please call: 281-726-3791

If you would like to have an event on the Cottage Charm properties or inquire about leasing or purchasing the property, please contact Chip McKenzie: 281-732-7027

Again we want to say a big THANK YOU for supporting us. Please keep watching our web page and other communication feeds for upcoming news about our status as we start on the long road towards becoming a restaurant again!

Thanks,
The Staff of Please and Thank You Home Cooking

What type of items does a restaurant sell at a garage sale?
Well first of all we don’t hold it in the garage. We hold it in the front room and record lounge of the restaurant.
We have a wide variety of glasses and stemware. We have wine glasses, brandy glasses, desert dishes, plates, bowls, nick knacks, and records.
We will also have a couple of pieces of furniture for sale including a wing back chair and a marble topped dresser.
Also for sale is a hot dog machine and various other restaurant implements and utensils.

Our normal phone and fax lines are down. So we are temporarily routing all calls through Chef Eric’s cell phone. To reach us please call:
