The Brunch Club,  601 S. Main St., posted the following:

"Here is the news you have all been waiting for. 
We will be OPEN Saturday at 7:00 A.M.
See you then. Feel Free to SHARE."

The restaurant has been closed since an early morning kitchen fire on April 20.

Jim Vari, the restaurant's owner, told us back in May that the damage turned out to be more extensive than originally thought, forcing the restaurant to shut down longer for the restoration.

Earlier Thursday, the restaurant posted that it was awaiting final inspections.

“Last inspection today. Fingers crossed for good news,” the Facebook message said.

He said the restaurant will get a new kitchen.

“It will be all great when it is done, but in the meantime it is not fun,” he said.

“We are actually quite fortunate that no one got hurt. This could all be fixed.”

Vari said his customers have been supportive.

“I’ve talked to a lot of them and people have been posting stuff on Facebook,” he said.  Hopefully we will be back here better than ever hopefully in the next three weeks or so.”
