Fish City Grill, at Preston Road and Royal Lane in Dallas, is finally reopening. It’s a story of recovery after the restaurant sustained major damage during a 2019 tornado outbreak.

Team members and customers at the Preston Oaks shopping center business were forced to take cover inside a walk-in cooler, as a tornado shredded the restaurant’s walls and ceilings. In all, the storm that moved through spawned nearly a dozen tornadoes and caused more than $2 billion in damage across North Texas.

Since that October night, the restaurant has had to completely rebuild. Now, 27 months later, construction is finished and Fish City Grill is back in business.
