    My husband and I got married there 20 yrs. ago when it was Mom’s Buffet. There was a nice room in the front with a fireplace.

    Back when it was Henrys’ Costa Mex and the kids were little, my family went there often. Good restaurants come and go. I can think of several “favorite” restaurants that have closed over the past 10 years.

    Two great restaurants in the past. I noticed those buildings have been unoccupied for quite some time. Quaint looking buildings and what a shame to burn down.

    The pictures seem to show flames in the back part of the main building and flames in the small house next door. It looks like 2 separate fires in 2 separate buildings.
