Southern Fires Restaurant

Does anyone know what happened to "Southern Fires"? The sign outside says they are closed because of a kitchen fire and will be open soon, but that was over 3 months ago. My wife called the phone number and it said it was disconnected?
This was one of our favorite places to go out to eat every month or so, it's a nice clean affordable family restuarant.
it seemed really popular especially on Sundays.

Did the owners give up on the old place and are opening up a new one with a new name in a new location??

It is rumoured that the owner of Southern Fires will be the owner of Urban Soul. I don't know if that is true. I had tried speaking to someone who was working inside of the place but he did not want to open the door but only spoken through the window. He had mumble that he will be open by Christmas. The same person had told another curious person peeking in the place last October that the restaurant will be open by the middle of November. Let's hope that this place is successful and that the setbacks are due to an oversight

I ate there and it was good but that place is just too big for a restaurant. Just the heating and cooling all that space would cost a fortune. It was like a warehouse restaurant.

I had eaten there in the 90s. Urban Soul, for the looks of it, will be a nice restaurant. Very roomy and plenty of parking. Don't know what is taking so long. It would be nice if they open for breakfast in the future
