“We got a call from a friend of ours saying the building was on fire,” said restaurant GM Sharon Morales. “Whoever saw it and called it in saved the building.”
Cherokee County firefighters were called out early Sunday morning after someone reported seeing flames coming from the building.

No one was injured, and it’s still unclear how the fire started, but restaurant officials believe it was an accident.
“They think it started in the ceiling of the dry storage area. No one was here. It happened at 1 o’clock in the morning,” said Morales.
This is just one of three locations in the Metro-Atlanta area, but the Canton location will likely be closed for the next two months.
