Burned Steakhouse
About this location
In Limburg, Belgium, the Burned Steakhouse is a white two-story building with a dark, partially fire-damaged roof, sitting behind a chain-link fence and a green metal fence with circular designs on a gravel lot, a for-sale sign attached nearby and large evergreens rising behind under a cloudy sky. By night, its long porch, white pillars topped with spheres, boarded windows, overgrown weeds along a low wall, and empty gravel parking lot give it a stark, desolate presence. Inside, the fire damage is unmistakable: one room has lost a large section of ceiling, exposing charred wooden beams, hanging debris, grayish walls, lower white-framed windows, and the sky overhead, while another floor is buried in blackened debris, dark rectangular fragments, ash, and lighter rubble beneath white-framed windows, white radiators, and stained gray walls with peeling and torn paint. Elsewhere, a pale room with exposed dark ceiling beams, a white ribbed ceiling section with hanging spotlights, a bar-like counter, and a dark wooden floor scattered with white debris is lit by a bright central light, and a dim room holds a white fireplace mantel between two tall multi-pane windows, a dark firebox with debris at its base, and pale pinkish-grey walls above dark flooring. The whole place feels derelict and fire-damaged, with scattered debris and watermarks reinforcing its abandoned state.
