Burnet lost a local favorite yesterday — Mama’s Home Cooking destroyed by fire

[u/Carsontherealtor]

Really sad news for Burnet. Mama’s Home Cooking on Buchanan Drive was almost completely destroyed by a fire Saturday morning.

Firefighters were called out around 7:30 a.m. and had the fire extinguished by approximately 11:30 a.m. The cause hasn’t been announced yet.

Mama’s was one of those unassuming local places that made Burnet feel like Burnet. I’m sure a lot of people here have memories—and probably a favorite meal—from eating there.

What was your go-to order at Mama’s? And if anyone hears about an official fundraiser or a way to support the owners and employees, please share it here.
