Uranium Cafe The Uranium Cafe has had a facelift and appears to be open under the name "Nana's Home Cooking" on the West-side sign, although the owners have retained the Uranium Cafe neon sign on the East side. We were there early in the morning, so could not confirm that the cafe is active, but it looks well-kept on the outside. [Wm Breiland, 08/01/2011]
Uranium Cafe It is open (well, at the moment) and now called Nana's. I stopped to take a photo and was enticed by a burrito covered in green chile. Not bad at all. [Spiderpig41, 06/05/2010]
Uranium Cafe Still standing with glitzy sign and all. Great stuff on all sides, including an adorable river walk park (across the street) and an Indian-themed tasting room (about a block further down). [Kandy, 02/27/2010]
Uranium Cafe Uranium Cafe is still closed, and has a for sale sign. Peering through the window . . . everything looks great inside, full furniture and everything. Alas. [Paul, 01/25/2010]
