One of the waitresses said it's taken a long time to re-open because of complications with inspections.
More than two dozen people are on staff, and they've been as eager as the loyal customers to see the restaurant bounce back from the 2016 fire.
“Obviously, it was right around Christmas time, so that made it even more hard. Some of us were unsure what we were going to do about jobs, but I think it made us all stronger and made us all closer,” said waitress Haley Morris.
