HOUSTON - Mytiburger has been serving up iconic burgers and shakes for the past 56 years, but rising food costs and fewer customers almost forced the long-running restaurant to close recently.
Current owner Shawn Sawlyers took to Facebook to let his customers know about how bad things were getting.
The post went viral, and the public responded. Mytiburger was swamped with customers and long lines out the door throughout the weekend.
"I wasn't expecting it. I put that post out, and I thought I'd get maybe a few people coming in, maybe just get a little bit of boost in business," Shawn said. "Next thing I know it's, you know, the line out the door, and we're getting all these people coming in."
