Please find out what happened!! This was one of our favorite restaurants. Hard to beat the service and food for a neighborhood joint. We’ll miss it for sure.

Roger that, Snootyfoodie. (Did I just type that?)

Frisco, not McKinney.

Say it ain’t so.

Bring it to Knox/Henderson, please! I know the old Century printing company building is available. Convert it into a restaurant, there is decent parking nearby…plenty of foot traffic all the time.

On behalf of myself and Shawn I want to launch an honest “Thank You” to any and all of our customers and employees. Especially the employees. We hired our people based on character and experience, in that order, and we ended up with some remarkable talent. I am happy to report that most of them were free agents for about an hour and you will be able to see them soon at some of the other great dining rooms of the city.

Shawn may have an “official statement” at some point, but the reality can be shared on SideDish. The bottom line is that we were undercapitalized from the beginning and got a little under the weight of the operations. Despite great results, we were unable to get out of the hole and you know the economy story, blah, blah, blah.

Shawn is taking some time off, in the short term, and he will be bringing his big restaurant brain back to the city’s scene soon.

We had a blast and blazed a trail. Someone great, please take our space in that little strip shopping center in the heart of Lakewood; there’s good mojo there.

General Manager, Kitchen 1924

…fyi; Durkin’s Pizza #1 under construction now on HWY 121 & Custer in McKinney open Oct. 1. Durkin’s Pizza #2(Tollway&El Dorado), Durkin’s Pizza #3 (HWY 75 & HWY 380) coming soon. Rock n’ Roll themed, throwback pizzerias…coming soon. That was an hyper-obnoxious plug, sorry.

No! Kitchen 1924 was such a cool place; I was just planning to hit up their hangover brunch. Here’s hoping that they open in a new location.

This is devastating. Great food, wonderful people and a unique vibe. We enjoyed every minute we spent at Kitchen.

So disappointing! I also loved Kitchen 1924 and what it brought to the very limited Lakewood dining scene. Thanks for the great meals!

That blows.

My husband and I LOVE Kitchen 1924 and we think Shawn was a great, very involved owner. We loved how he would talk and greet all his guests! What a great guy. And the food…is wonderful! We were going to go there tonight and found out ya’ll are closed. It is really sad to see Kitchen 1924 go. I really hope the next venture of Shawn Horne re-opens in Lakewood.

The food at the restaurant was mediocre at best although the wine list was impressive. The owner and manager like to place the blame on being “undercapitalized” but the plain truth was that the owner(s) had no idea how to handle money. Being a good restaurant manager (as Shawn was in the past) does not make you a good businessman. I know for a fact that the taxes on this restaurant have not been paid in over a year and rather than man up and pay his obligations Shawn decided to close his doors and place blame on someone other than himself.
