The Swinging Door will shut for good

The Swinging Door, a popular BBQ restaurant in Richmond, will be closing its doors after 50 years. Owner Steven Onstad announced the closure on social media and thanked all of their loyal customers who have become friends and family over the years. The restaurant has been a huge part of Fort Bend County since opening on Labor Day in 1973, and even had special guests such as Earl Campbell from the Oilers football team. Although an exact date hasn’t been announced, the closure will happen within the next few weeks.
