Uranium Cafe reopens in Grants May 17, 2010

The landmark Uranium Cafe along Route 66 in Grants, N.M., has reopened as Nana’s Cafe, according to an article in the Cibola County Beacon.

According to the article, the building was constructed in the 1950s and named after the uranium mining industry that dominated the area’s economy for decades.

The place closed, then briefly reopened as Five Brothers Uranium Cafe, then closed again in 2007.

The article contains a lot of history about the restaurant, but precious little about its current incarnation. It does mention that it reopened May 14 and is operated by Allison Ramirez and her “extended family.” According to the article, New Mexican food will be served, featuring chicharrones.
