A rep for Magnolia tells PEOPLE that the restaurant was reopened on Monday after the team made some repairs to make the space functional again. However, the area that retained the most damage is currently blocked off and undergoing renovation.

Along with his Instagram post, Chip also shared a link where fans could donate to Habitat Texas: Disaster Relief Services, Feeding Texas, and Mission Waco to help aid these organizations in providing relief to Texas residents impacted by the unprecedented storm.
