An early Tuesday morning fire damaged the Cave Man Kitchen restaurant<\/a>, 807 W. Valley Highway.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority and Renton were dispatched at about 4:30 a.m. to the restaurant, according to a Kent Fire Department media release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The first crews saw flames going through the roof, so several more units were called to respond to the fire. Firefighters extinguished the fire at about 5:30 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire, where the fire started and a damage estimate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

No employees were in the building. There were no injuries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The damage is minimal, according to a posting on the restaurant’s Facebook page.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“(Owner) Roseanna (Donley) is already in gear and having another smoker put in place,” according to the posting. “Thankfully we have a back-up that is ready to go. The Cave is closed today (Tuesday) and will be re-opened as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To keep updated about the re-opening, follow Cave Man Kitchen on Facebook, at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CaveManKitchens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Cave Man Kitchen opened in 1971 in Kent and specializes in smoke-roasted meats.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
