We wrote about this not long ago, and things have been progressing steadily at the Restaurant Formerly Known As B.J. Keefer’s on Magnolia. Friends of West & Clear have scouted the site and reported back that the initial rumors (such as a taco shop or pizza joint) aren’t looking too likely. To start with, here’s reader Ross’s report from the previous post:
UPDATE: Paper is off the windows. I’m changing my guess - it’s SUSHI. Or at least Asian. No way a pizza joint has that much bamboo.
Followed up with reader Chewy’s observations:
I was going to post this as well. I walked by last night and they were scraping the lettering off the windows and the “illuminated” B.J. Keefer sign is down. Hopefully they put something up there soon enough.
I can’t tell what it’s going to be but the owners don’t appear to be half-assing it so hopefully they’ll put as much into the food and service as they are redoing the interior.
I personally hope it’s not sushi since I’m not a big sushi fan, but I’d much rather see that than a CiCi’s type place. I personally hold out hope it’s a Buff. Bros. type place with an expanded menu beyond wings, sammiches, and pizzas.
I didn’t peek in and see any bamboo, but if it’s bamboo then it could be a more Fuzzy’s type place with bamboo serving a hut motif. The entrance has some slat hardwood looking stuff so they might be going to for a hut look. I’m no interior decorator though so I’m just making a wild ass guess which is what the Interweb was built for.
I don’t know - I could always go for a Fuzzy’s-style taco shop, but a good sushi place on Magnolia would make me thrilled, especially since I plan on moving there in the not-too-distant future. I’ll swing by the new place this afternoon and get some photos.
