The restaurant opened its doors today at 101 S. First St. with customers already waiting at the door. A total of 200 hungry patrons had visited the location by lunchtime. During its probationary period, the restaurant will be open from 5 a.m. – 11 p.m. daily. It will transition to a 24-hour location beginning Aug. 26.
