Mobeta Wings, Closed After Car Ramming, Will Reopen For Super Bowl

Restaurant shut down after a car rammed the front door.

Like an athlete bouncing back from injury, in Avondale Estates will reopen Sunday to serve hungry Super Bowl fans.

Business at Mobeta came crashing to a halt Oct. 13 when a woman rammed her Lexus sedan into the front door of the restaurant.

She told DeKalb County police she backed up in the parking lot and struck a post, then put the car into drive and accidentally accelerated into the front door.

Lee said the menu will be the the same but the inside will look better. The front and inside of the restaurant has been repainted and the parking lot repaved.

Mobeta will open at noon this Sunday. It's normally closed on Sunday but  opens for the biggest football game of the year.

"Every Super Bowl customers come by," Lee said.

Normal hours will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays.
