Moo Burger Will Be Closed At Least A Week After Fire

COBBLE HILL, BROOKLYN — Moo Burger on Court Street in Cobble Hill will be closed for a week after a fire at the burger joint Thursday, the owner told Patch.

Patch stopped by Moo Burger on Friday, and owner Nicholas Sakatis said the fire wasn't as bad as news reports made it out to be.

"It was just the wall adjoining the hallway and behind," Sakatis told Patch. "Thanks God everyone's OK."

Sakatis said the fire happened during the store's down time, and the only customer there had just left when it started.

"Happy it happened un the afternoon when we were here," Sakatis said of the mid-day fire. But, "it was empty" of customers.

Sakatis said his insurance company was still surveying the damage, so Patch couldn't come in and see what happened.

He wanted to say thanks for the support he's gotten from the neighborhood.

"We love this neighbored," Sakatis said. "A lot of our neighbors came by to make sure we're ok. We just want to thank everyone in the community."
