In a memorable act of kindness one person in Arkansas brought their favorite restaurant to joyful tears amid the COVID-19 shutdowns.

Colonial Steak House, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, is struggling to keep its business alive during the COVID-19 economic shutdown. The small team run by four employees brought its down operation to three-days-a-week to offer curbside pick-up only.

During a routine curbside order drop-off, one of Colonial Steak House's frequent customers tipped the restaurant $1200 dollars, their entire stimulus check.

“We just started crying and thanking God because it came at a time that most of our staff really needed it,” said Allison Hall, Colonial Steakhouse manager, in a KARK News interview.

Although the restaurant is ready to open its doors again, when the time is right,  they are grateful for the customers generosity during these uncertain times, said Hall.
