HOUSTON -- Fire and smoke have temporarily closed a Friendswood restaurant, KPRC Local 2 reported Tuesday.
Shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday, a passerby spotted flames shooting from the roof of the Perry & Son's Market and Grill, located at 614 South Friendswood Drive. Firefighters said the blaze started in the kitchen. "Something in the grill cooking area behind the front desk is where the origin is and the fire marshal's office is investigating it at this time," said Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jeff Smith. Fire officials said they believe it may have been a grease fire. The building suffered mainly smoke and water damage. The restaurant manager said it could take about three weeks to get the business up and running again. "The entire community comes in here. Everybody who works around this place -- everybody enjoys it. It's kind of upsetting what happened today," customer Michael Snoder said. No one was inside the restaurant at the time of the fire and no one was injured.
