In an email sent to KPRC 2, the health department said they ordered the closure on September 19th due to serious health code violations. An inspection revealed 35 violations, which the department says include conditions that “pose an imminent threat to public health.”

The restaurant will remain closed until all the issues have been resolved, a follow up inspection is done and the restaurant is up to safety standards.

The Turkey Leg Hut’s Instagram account had a post saying they were closed over the weekend for renovations.

This comes after the restaurants filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, earlier this year.
