The acclaimed restaurant said in March it was closing the Mandela Parkway location for good after being burglarized and gutted by a fire.

It will now reopen its doors on Friday, April 26, at 464 8th Street. That is the location of Matty's, a restaurant also owned by Matt Horn, which will reportedly have dishes incorporated into the Horn Barbecue menu.
