On Thursday, J. Hartman’s Restaurant in Marion started serving lunch again. On Friday, the lunchtime crowd had customers waiting outside in the August heat for a table inside.
Restaurant owner Jennifer Hartman, center, and manager Pepper Strode inspect a warmer inside the J. Hartman’s Restaurant kitchen on Oct. 1, 2024, days after Hurricane Helene. Hartman, her staff, family and volunteers, spent several days cleaning out the interior of the restaurant after Hurricane Helene flooded the building and covered the floor in several inches of mud.
“We’re excited to open our doors for lunch again and give our community another opportunity to gather, enjoy a good meal and spend time together,” co-owner Jon Hartman said.
