Fire causes indefinite closure of Waco BBQ restaurant

While no injuries were reported, Helberg Barbecue says that they will be closed until further notice, and may not be able to operate in the building ever again.

WACO, Texas — Late Sunday night, a fire was reported at a barbecue restaurant in the Waco area by the China Spring Volunteer Fire Department.

The fire took place in the 8500 Block of North Highway 6 in Speeglevile, at Helberg Barbecue. No indicators of what caused the fire to start have been revealed by officials.

While no injuries were reported, Helberg has said on Facebook that they will be closed until further notice.

The joint has been previously recognized by Texas Monthly as a premier destination for BBQ in the Lone Star State, and has been open since 2018.

A GoFundMe page has also been created to assist the business as they navigate what is to come for them going forward. As of around 1:20 p.m. on Monday, over $11,000 has been raised to help the owners.

Where do we start…we are completely heartbroken to share with y’all that our restaurant in Speegleville caught fire last...
