One of the best places in East Texas to get a delicious burger is hosting a benefit event on Saturday, January 31. From 4 pm - 7 pm, Mom's Diner in Lufkin will be donating 50% of all sales to the Hadnot family. Dmarcus Hadnot passed away on January 17 in a tragic head-on collision in Lufkin. His wife, Paige, was severely injured and has undergone several surgeries since the wreck. The funeral for Dmarcus will be held on Monday, February 2, at Shafer Funeral Home in Lufkin.

The money raised from this fundraiser will go to help to cover such expenses as the funeral, medical bills, and other general costs for Paige and her daughter, Nia.

Mom's Diner has been an East Texas tradition for many years. They are located at 420 Frank Street in Lufkin. Quite a few folks consider their cheeseburgers to be among the best in the entire region. So, you can't go wrong with the famous Mom's Monster, but I would suggest you get the whole family involved and explore some of their great menu items.

Mom's Diner has a delicious chicken-fried steak, turkey burger, steak finger basket, pork chops, and don't forget to add on some onion rings. Take a look at their menu here. If you already have dinner plans for the evening, make a quick stop by Mom's and get a gift certificate to use later. Half of ALL proceeds will be donated to the Hadnot family.
