Like a nearby Family Dollar and Sunoco gas station and others, the restaurant had to close and fix damage from the EF-1 tornado with winds up to 100 mph that stayed on the ground for up to four miles, according to the National Weather Service.

The Mel-O-Dee opened in 1965 and is known for its broaster chicken and other dishes made from scratch.

Repairs to the restaurant included the addition of two 10-ton air conditioning units lifted to the roof last week by a crane. The ceilings in the restaurant were removed and being replaced with new.
