JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Streeter Acclaimed Kitchen<\/a> is back in business less than three months after an apparent electrical fire forced the Jacksonville restaurant to close<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The restaurant relaunched Saturday with a food truck at Trout River Food Truck Park, where customers lined up hours before the grand opening to support the business and try its Southern soul food.<\/p>\n

The fire caused extensive damage to the restaurant\u2019s brick-and-mortar location, leaving owner Johnathan Streeter and his team looking for ways to rebuild. Community members contributed through a GoFundMe fundraiser and other acts of support, helping the restaurant reopen sooner than expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect me to get open back this fast,\u201d Streeter said. \u201cBut, you know, we got \u2014 anything is possible. I had a great team behind me, my wife, just the whole city been waiting on us to get back open, and I had to make it happen. So now we\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers said they were eager to see whether the food truck lived up to the restaurant\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to see whether or not it lives up to its hype,\u201d said customer Robert Kimbrough. \u201cI\u2019ve heard great things. I even have a family member that works for them. And they bring food home all the time back when they had the brick and mortar. But now I want to experience the food truck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine Bond said she was looking forward to trying the crab-stuffed salmon and salmon egg rolls \u2014 dishes she described as unique.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s previous location was damaged by a fire in July. Front manager Riva Kimbrough previously said the fire damaged much of the back room, where the business stored takeout containers, cleaning supplies and other equipment.<\/p>\n

The GoFundMe fundraiser was created to help with payroll and relocation costs. Streeter Acclaimed Kitchen opened in February 2025 and quickly built a following for its Southern soul food.<\/p>\n

The food truck was scheduled to remain at Trout River Food Truck Park until 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and return on Sunday from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Availability and future operating hours may vary.<\/p>\n
