, the popular new burger bar on Centre Street, hopes to reopen by 5 p.m. Monday after a car careened into the restaurant's front door this weekend.

A sedan smashed into the front of the 605 Centre St. restaurant early Sunday morning.

The incident happened about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to a Tweet by Eiffeil Designs.

The accident could have been much worse, said Grass Fed's Colin Adair.

"It couldn't have happened a better way," he said, noting that the driver was unhurt and the damage to the building was not major.

Adair said city inspectors have cleared the restaurant to reopen. The burger place hopes to open by 5 p.m. after painting and clean-up are done.
